"Sciatica made me feel old!"
 

"Before visiting Jupiter Family Chiropractic, I had been suffering from sciatic nerve pain that radiated down from my left hip to my foot for months.  For a while, this pain was annoying but it did not keep me from work or doing the things I enjoy.  As time went on, the pain increased and began to affect my day to day activities.  I couldn’t exercise, sitting in most chairs caused pain, and I was unable to walk at my normal pace.  I used heating pads and natural muscle relaxers with minimal relief and my discomfort increased.  The culminating moment, where I realized that this pain was getting worse occurred during a weekend getaway with my husband to St. Augustine.  The 3 ½ hour car ride had already caused more pain, but walking on the cobblestone streets for a few hours sent me over the edge.  The intense pain kept me awake for the next few nights.  I could barely walk the next morning and tried to shuffle to breakfast with my husband…  Needless to say, I was unable to do much more than sit and shuffle around our hotel room.  I felt OLD and was afraid that I would never be without pain again!!!  Not a good feeling…
I made an appointment with Dr. Dashtkian at Jupiter Family Chiropractic that Monday, February 15, 2016.  For the first few weeks, I received two corrections weekly.  Dr. Dashtkian also gave me stretches to do every morning and evening.  To my surprise, my body began to respond and heal itself rather quickly!  I now only come in once a week for corrections.  I’m able to move with ease and the pain no longer keeps me awake.  I can exercise again and I feel great!!!  Thank you Dr. Dashtkian and staff for helping me to quickly reach my movement goals!"
