Chiro-Health

I continue to be absolutely delighted with all the benefits I get from my services at Chiro-Health.  I started to see Dr. Mazgaloff several years ago because of frequent migraines.  She not only effectively treated my bad posture and gave me exercises that pretty much eliminated my migraines for years (except for when I was lazy and didn't do my exercises), but also fixed my carpal tunnel pain (I work at a computer most of day) as well as my lower back strain from running.

A shoulder injury prevented me from doing the exercises that Dr. Mazgaloff prescribed and I had a very unpleasant setback of back and neck spasms and migraines.  My medical docs gave me muscle relaxants that pretty much knocked me out and tend to melt one's liver, which was not a long term solution in my book.  Dr. Mazgaloff had me get x-rays and diagnosed a congenital neck deformity that wasn't visible without the x-rays.  This was kind of a scary diagnosis, but Amelia calmly showed me the pictures, explained the likely effects and suggested treatment.  I am a freak about having to research much of anything that impacts my health, and found that the treatment recommended by Dr. Mazgaloff is exactly what M.D.s suggest as the most likely to reduce muscle spasms, pain, and disc degeneration that tend to arise from this condition and which I was experiencing.

I have been on my new treatment regime for a few weeks now and am nearly pain free (!), which is an amazing relief considering that I was unable to move my neck and was in extreme pain little over a month ago.  The other chiropractors who I have seen when Dr. Mazgaloff was unavailable as well as the massage therapists have also been consistently above-par, the office service is great, the facility is great and very convenient by public transport.  I love that Dr. Mazgaloff focuses on teaching the patient what they can do to help themselves improve their health.  She has a very thorough understanding of the workings of the human body and does an excellent job explaining various conditions and treatments.   I recommend her without any hesitation.
