Tori and Family
The Atkins family (and extended family) are no strangers to chiropractic care! Not only have we been lucky enough to have them as practice members for a couple of years now, but several of their siblings, in-laws, and cousins are E320 Chiropractic💚 practice members as well🙌! This crew’s belief in the power of chiropractic is made clear by the many miles and minutes that they spend on the road commuting to and from the office🚗. With the family living in Donalds and working in Greenville, making a special trip to Anderson isn’t exactly on their way home. Throw in extra-curricular activities for four children🏈🏅and one can only imagine the amount of effort Mom and Dad put forth to make their family’s health a priority💪.
Tori’s experience with chiropractic began with insurance-required, 6-weeks of adjustments that didn’t give her any relief from the constant lower back pain that she was simply “pushing through and sucking up🤦♀️.” Unfortunately, doctors recommended that the next step to relieve her constant pain was a spinal fusion of L5-S1 with pins and screws😖. However, the surgery left her with limited mobility, trouble standing on her feet every day working as a pharmacist, and what she says looks like “Ace Hardware” in her body🔩⚙. As if that wasn’t enough, Tori was also battling TMJ pain while trying to work full time and be a super mom🦸♀️!
When it came to the Atkins’ little guys, the kids were fighting off seasonal allergies, ear aches and congestion, that were causing Mom and Dad to spend a lot of money on various medications💊. Their pediatrician had them believing that their children’s health concerns were “just normal and they’ll grow out of it,” but Tori refused to settle for this answer. Thankfully, Tori’s sister Kerri entrusted the E320 Team💚with her young family’s health, so Tori had zero skepticism when making the decision to try consistent chiropractic care for herself and her children👏. Especially after listening to Dr. Rhonda’s thorough explanation of their neurological scans📈, Tori was able to see first hand where each of their problem areas lied. “Wow, that’s so cool! It all made sense,” Tori said.
After their regular adjustments began based on their personalized care plans📖, Tori said she first noticed an immediate relief in her TMJ pain🙌! “The only time the pain comes back in my jaw or my mobility decreases in my back is when I miss an adjustment,” Tori explained🤯! As for the kids, after about six months of pediatric-focused chiropractic adjustments, Mom and Dad noticed that their child became “a completely different person overnight🌟!” While the children’s allergies are still an ongoing issue, they have been able to come off an additional medication and they are now able to fight off illnesses much more quickly. “We don’t need steroids anymore, and instead of being sick five times per year, they only experience an allergy battle once per year,” Tori celebrated🎉! She also noticed that their long, 35-minute drives after long school and work days became something the family actually looked forward to because they all noticed their bodies feeling better🙌!
Thankfully, the Atkins family no longer has to “push through, just deal with it, or suck it up,” but instead they now have answers and solutions for years of frustrations due to ongoing pain and illness! We are so honored that the Atkins crew has chosen the E320 Team💚 to care for them, and we look forward to more celebrations to come🎈!
