Overview
Deborah Wright shared a heartfelt testimonial about a long journey shaped by faith and perseverance. In 1973, she was in a head-on collision that left her with serious trauma. Over the decades that followed, she experienced intense migraines, additional injuries, and multiple car accidents that gradually took a toll.
After a severe flu in April 2025 that intensified her lower back pain and disrupted her ability to sleep, Deborah decided it was time to pursue upper cervical care with Dr. Taylor at HealthWorks in Plano, TX.

Why Deborah First Visited
Deborah describes years of migraines and neck-related headaches that could shut her down and interfere with her responsibilities as a teacher, wife, and mother. She found ways to cope, like using cold packs under her neck and compresses on her eyes and forehead, but the pattern kept returning.
Over the last 30 years, Deborah says she saw several chiropractors. However, she felt they were primarily treating symptoms and did not have the specialized training needed to address the root cause she later learned about, including misalignment related to the atlas bone (the top bone of the spine).
In April 2025, after being hit hard with the flu, Deborah’s coughing aggravated her lower back so severely that she could not sleep in bed and had to sleep sitting up in a chair. She shared that her husband even had to help her stand because the pain was so limiting. Deborah’s first consultation with Dr. Taylor was May 28, 2025, followed by her initial adjustment on May 30.
What Stood Out During Her First Visits
Deborah appreciated how specific and supportive the care felt, especially during a period when her lower back could not handle the normal motion of sitting up from a lying position. She shared that Dr. Taylor taught her a step-by-step way to move in and out of bed more carefully as her body recovered.
She also emphasized how meaningful it was to finally pursue care that focused on alignment and root causes, not just short-term symptom management.
Improvements Deborah Noticed Over Time
Deborah shared several milestones that stood out during her first months of care:
- From sleeping in a chair for over a month to sleeping in bed again on June 4
- From struggling to sit up from lying down to using a gentler, step-by-step method to get out of bed
- From disrupted rest to sleeping a full six hours in bed by June 9
- From being sidelined by pain to slowly walking around the lake with her husband again
- From low stamina to returning to gentle swimming (avoiding overhead strokes)
- From being limited in what she could manage to helping her son with a move as the “project manager,” carrying only light items while going up and down stairs
Deborah described her progress as “slow and steady,” with continued improvement as her body adapted through the summer.
Deborah’s Message of Hope
“Faith and perseverance have carried me through the last 52 years.”
Deborah shared that by the end of her testimonial, she had no pain, felt fully mobile, and described herself as “living an abundant life.” She plans to continue her appointments with Dr. Taylor and hopes her story gives others hope for their healing.
