Overview
Christina Howard has been coming to HealthWorks for about two years. After moving to the Rockwall area, she needed a chiropractor and was referred to HealthWorks by her chiropractor from the Tyler area.
Christina originally came in with back issues and felt that upper cervical care was the direction she needed to explore.
Why Christina First Visited
Christina’s story started with a referral and a need for answers. She wanted to understand what was happening in her body and find an approach that made sense for her long-term.
She also described her first upper cervical experience as intense, saying it felt “like I was hit by a truck” and she could not walk for a day. After that, she felt like everything “opened up” and started flowing. Over time, she worked down to coming in about once a month.
What Stood Out During Her First Visits
Christina said she was impressed by how thorough everything was, from the exams to the overall process. She also shared that when she first started, the exams were free, which allowed her to learn what was going on in her body before deciding to begin treatment.
Improvements Christina Noticed Over Time
Christina shared that daily movements started to feel easier, including things you normally do without thinking twice.
- From struggling with back issues to feeling like things started “clicking into place”
- From limited comfort twisting to being able to twist more easily
- From difficulty bending over to bending more comfortably
- From reaching feeling difficult to reaching overhead (like grabbing something off the top shelf) more easily
- From more frequent care early on to maintenance visits about once a month
A Family Story: Her Son’s Progress
Christina also brought her son, who started when he was 14 and is now 16. Over time, he worked down to visits about once every two months. For Christina, it has been meaningful to see improvements for both of them as their care became more consistent.
Consistency and Comfort With the Team
Christina prefers to see one chiropractor consistently, but she shared that she has been seen by each of the chiropractors at HealthWorks. If her chiropractor is not available, she feels comfortable seeing either of the other doctors.
Christina’s Recommendation for Anyone Unsure
Christina’s advice is simple: “Come in for at the very least a conversation, get the information, get educated on what it is, and decide from that if you think it’s right for you.”
