Stories of Hope

Immobilizing lower back pain from sciatica was stopping Eric in his tracks, and he was told that surgery was his next option if nothing changed.  His first chiropractic experience was not a pleasant one because he felt the doctor’s adjustment method was “rudimentary” and unsuccessful because he tried to twist Eric’s body into certain positions that simply weren’t working.  Phyllis too was experiencing sciatica, so together the couple rotated from ice packs🧊, to heating pads🔥, and to muscle relaxers💊.  Even though the muscle relaxers helped, the couple knew they didn’t want to remain on drugs in order to function – especially when they discovered that Phyllis was pregnant👶!  While living in Colorado, Phyllis became a poster child for the benefits of being under chiropractic care while pregnant, so despite Eric’s misgivings, the Darden’s decide to give chiropractic another try.  This time, lucky for us, they chose the team at E320💚🙌!

Once sweet baby Eli arrived, he presented with a common problem with little ones – constipation😣.  Hoping to find relief for their new little buddy without constant doses of Miralax, the Darden’s were desperate to find a one stop shop for their family’s overall health and wellness☀.  

After reviewing their INSiGHT scans📈 with Dr. Rhonda, the self-confessed researcher and forever student📖Phyllis said “It all came full circle…my brain fog and blurry vision, our back pain, and our son’s constipation…it all made sense and the results were consistent with our issues!”  The couple’s overall skepticism of the medical field🥼 began to melt away the more they learned from Dr. Rhonda’s thorough explanations of how their bodies were functioning.  Phillis said she loves it when Dr. Rhonda “geeks out” because both her and Eric love learning about “the why” and this was actually a huge selling point for them to have so much additional information.  “The more information we have, the happier we are because we can see the results!  It’s crazy that the scans were able to pick up on my constant state of fight or flight mode🏃‍♀️!  I asked Dr. Rhonda for suggestions on what else I could do besides my regular chiropractic adjustments, and she encouraged me to take advantage of the childcare offered at the YMCA so that I could exercise and take time for myself🧘‍♀️.  She also encouraged me to study what chiropractic care does for the mind, and it all makes sense.  I wish I had been a strong believer from the start because maybe I wouldn’t have struggled for so long with my mental health🧠. Eric is now a well-oiled machine ⚙ and is able to work out again, my cotton-stuffed brain is now clear🌞, and Eli is getting some relief from his #2’s💩as well!”  

Phyllis continues to make us blush with her kind comments💚… “Your office has the kindest people, and my 4-year-old son is so excited to go into the office.  Dr. Rhonda is so dedicated in all that she does and it’s easy to feel safe in her hands👐.  She is incredibly intelligent and she works hard to track her patients’ progress🤓.  Usually, you go to the doctor when you are sick, but we go to Dr. Rhonda to prevent illness.  I hope you continue to shine a light on the skeptics💡!”
