You guys may remember that I started seeing Dr. Kyle of Chiropractic First of Rockford in September after struggling with headaches and jaw pain. I had worked with allergists and other doctors with minor improvement but after suffering a muscle spasm after working out, I wanted to try something new.

Now, I'm happy to report that my chiropractic treatments have really helped!

I used to get headaches every single day and it's now down to a few times a week. The crazy thing is I can feel headaches coming on now, where before I would just have a headache day after day after day.

The same is true for my jaw, which has been a problem since I was a teenager. I thought it was a dental issue, but nothing the dentist did really helped. The chiropractors at Chiropractic First of Rockford have been able to pinpoint the origin of my jaw pain and figured out what needed be done to ease it. While I'm still having pains, it's really helping.

When you're in pain on a regular basis, it can be hard to see the big picture of a treatment plan. I love seeing the X-rays that prove we're making progress. Each curve of your spine is supposed to be 45 degrees. When we started, my upper neck was at 14 degrees. It's now at a 22 and I truly believe the curve adjustment is helping with my pain, digestion and immunity.

You can see how my neck looked when we started:

And this is how your neck and spine are supposed to look:
