CAN NYSTROM CHIROPRACTIC HELP YOU?

Regular chiropractic care can remove interference on the nervous system, leaving the body free to return to its natural state of wellness.

Nothing happens in the body that isn’t coordinated by the nervous system and a misaligned spine caused from accidents, injury or lifestyle can cause devastating effects to the nervous system. For example, the cause of an organ disfunction could be as simple as a misalignment of a specific vertebrae. This is why chiropractic addresses so many different health problems.

With an in-depth understanding of the nervous system we’re able to understand how the body functions as a whole and really understand what the person needs. Therefore, we’re able to give them the best possible treatment options.

The following are case studies from some of Nystrom Chiropractic's patients

CASE STUDY  INFANT andres
Andres was born with a knot on his neck. I did not know anything about this until I went to see Dr. Nystrom. While she was helping me with my personal injury, she took an interest in seeing Andres. Andres was only 1 week old when she began seeing him. When he was three months old, she noticed that he was not turning his head to the left. At first Dr. Nystron thought it was neurological and had asked me if I had noticed anything of this sort. I told her that I saw that it was difficult for him to nurse on the left side, but it didn't dawn on me that it was a neck related issue. I just thought that it was normal for a new-born baby to not be able to nurse on both sides. Dr. Nystrom recommended that I should take Andres to see his pediatrician, but when I took him to the pediatrician, he told me that it was a knot due to his position in my womb. He recommended that I take him to physical therapy. When I took him to the physical therapist, I mentioned that he was being seen by a chiropractor. The therapist agreed that seeing a chiropractor would be ideal for Andres and that I should continue.

I continued taking him to Dr. Nystrom. She has been working with Andres for 5 months, and as the time goes on I am able to tell that his neck is getting better and better. Though his neck is not 100% corrected, he is capable of nursing on both sides and able to move his neck from left to right and right to left.

Andres and I continue to visit Dr. Nystrom and it continues to make Andres' life much easier. I notice that Andres has become more active and moves around more. Before he didn't move as much due to the pain on his neck. I am truly grateful for having the opportunity of being a client of hers and recommend for others to see her because I know that she can help you as she has helped me and Andres. Going to Dr. Nystrom has been the best decision I have made health wise for my family.

 

CASE STUDY  ATHLETES drew
I've always been active and healthy and growing up, I played every sport there was. My favorite was basketball and track. For years I've been seriously training in the gym, on the courts, and at the track and have always taken pride in my athletic conditioning. I never sustained any serious injuries from competing. That all changed early in 2007, when I found myself sidelined, suffering from severe knee pain in both legs due to overtraining for pro basketball tryouts in Germany. After 6 months of persistent pain and no progress, a friend recommended I visit Nystrom Chiropractic so I decided to try it for the first time.

Dr. Nystrom not only worked on my knees, but she helped me with my posture, my breathing, and the alignment of the rest of my body. It didn't take long to feel a decrease in pain even though I continued to train hard. Today I am a personal trainer and my body feels great. As someone who has always been active and healthy, being so debilitated by injuries and unable to enjoy the activity I love was terrible. I can't thank Dr. N and her staff enough for helping me get back on the courts active and healthy again.

 

CASE STUDY  VERTIGO karen
I came to Dr. Nystrom in desperation after suffering from debilitating vertigo on and off over a span of more than 10 years. Over the course of 10 years, I had many different diagnoses and treatment plans and sedatives prescribed. I visited the hospital emergency room, saw an Ear, Nose, and Throat Doctor, had an MRI, had chiropractic treatments, consulted a dietician, had Reiki and allergy tests. Nothing worked. During an episode, I was often out of work for 2-3 days and on heavy sedatives to manage the pain and discomfort. As the years progressed, the length of the bouts of vertigo was shorter but not less debilitating. I lived with the constant annoyance of a dull headache and lightheadedness and the anxiety of wondering when, not if, they would return. I knew there had to be a something I could do to find relief.

A friend recommended Dr. Nystrom to me when I was in the middle of an episode. It was all I could do to get out of the bed and visit Nystrom Chiropractic that first time but I was desperate. After a comprehensive assessment and x-rays‚ nothing I had ever experienced at other chiropractors, Dr. Nystrom put together a treatment plan.

After 2 treatments, I was beginning to get some relief. The spinning had almost entirely stopped and I had more of a sense of calm. After 3 weeks of regular visits, my vertigo was entirely gone and the vice-like pressure was too.

It's been nearly 1.5 years since my first visit and I have not had another bout of vertigo and my chronic, dull headaches are gone. Also, the reverse curve in my neck found on the x-rays has been almost entirely corrected! After 10 years of suffering from vertigo and trying every available avenue to find relief, it's amazing to get back the quality of life I used to know. Finding her was a blessing and I am forever thankful.

 

CASE STUDY  BRAIN TUMOR roma
Over 2 years ago, I had surgery to remove a brain tumor. Post-surgery complications have left me unable to walk on my own, caused chronic ataxia in my limbs and nerve damage to my face. The process of healing has been long and arduous but I've come a long way from the early days of not being able to talk or move on my own. Since the surgery, I have been on a rigorous healing regimen incorporating neuro-acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, osteopathic care, herbal and homeopathic remedies and yoga.

I had not originally considered chiropractic as a part of my regimen but my caregivers are all patients of Dr. Nystrom and they encouraged me to see her for an evaluation because of the profound healing they had all experienced. As an Acupuncturist, I have had extensive training on non-western approaches to neurological health and was hopeful that she could speed my healing through making my nervous system more accessible to the other treatments.

I've been seeing Dr. Nystrom for over a year now and I have noticed that my speech is better, my migraines (from which I've suffered my entire life) are almost completely gone, my ataxia is much better and I am now walking short distances with support! I feel an overall greater sense of wellness as well. I know that the care I've been under with Dr. Nystrom has sped up my healing significantly and I feel so thankful that I found her and have been blessed to be in her capable hands. I now feel as strongly about chiropractic as a vital modality in wellness as I do acupuncture!
