100% Chiropractic: For Every Mom
What Mom wouldn’t want to have perfect posture and back strength through-out her pregnancy and/or the toddler-carrying years and beyond? I sure would, but I usually consider proper posture or back strength to be a far-fetched fantasy due to the reality of my constant lower back tightness, long-term-breastfeeding-awkward-shoulder posture and all of the aches and pains of carrying a 30lb toddler, diaper bag and all.the.things.ALL.the.time.
However, I recently was given a glimpse of hope about having great posture again, from Dr. Duvi, at 100% Chiropractic in Cedar Park. She took x-rays of my spine and neck, which proved that my pain was clearly due to some pretty severe misalignment. But she didn’t just stop there and prescribe me painkillers or an unrealistic 5-day-per-week treatment plan. Instead, she took the time to explain to me WHY the misalignments were so important for me to resolve, as they were surely impacting my ability to care for my family. She inspired and encouraged me to remember the gift of motherhood and the importance of being strong and healthy enough to care for my family.
Dr Duvi made sure to help me visualize and comprehend the problems that come with spinal misalignment, showing me pictures and educating me about overall spinal health and how it impacts our organs and overall health. It all sounded irrelevant to my everyday life at first, yes, but it got better. When she explained that each misalignment in my spine makes it harder for my nervous system to function, which in turn makes it difficult for my body to regulate hormones and sleep, etc…I felt like a huge light bulb went on.
Could it be that the common issues I always just associated with being a Mom (fatigue, sore back, weird hormone issues, etc.) were all wrapped up in a few misalignments??
From there, we had a candid and empowering conversation, followed by scheduling my first adjustment, during which all of this, my kids happily played with her toys on her train table and drank her free yummy juice boxes.
Most of all, it was heartbreaking yet compelling to hear from Dr. Duvi that the inspiration for starting her chiropractic business was her own Mom, who suffered from multiple health issues throughout her life and passed away recently in her early 50s. Dr. Duvi witnessed her Mom yearning for health and wellness without the help of a chiropractor for decades. To honor her Mom’s life, Dr. Duvi is dedicated now to helping every Mom achieve the 100% health that she always dreamed of.
