My Mom's Spine

There was a time when my mom had a hard time walking. If you knew my mom then, you will see that there was disalignment of the spine. She used to drive us to and from school when we were kids and she used to wait until dismissal time. This went on for many years and I do not know if it was because of this, because something happened to her spinal cord. To make the long story short, her doctor wanted her to undergo through surgery but she did not want to because of her experience with doctors when she was little but that is another story altogether. So anyways, the doctor said that she will not be able to walk after a couple of months. Thus, my dad made a couple of renovations in the home so she would not have to use the stairs. She had therapy for a couple of months. I remember she wanted me to take up physical therapist at that time so I would be able to take care of her.

Thinking about it now, maybe she should have gone to Des Moines chiropractor. Although,she has completely healed and could walk now, there was a time when she went through considerable pain. Maybe if she went to Des Moines Chiropractic, then she would not have felt pain at all. Now, she is very careful when it comes to carrying heavy objects or driving. She still drives occasionally when there is a need for it. I just hope that it does not come back, if it does I will gladly accompany her to a Chiropractor in Des Moines. They have provided professional and personal care since 1997.
