I'm Only Eighteen Years Old and Already Visiting a Chiropractor in Costa Mesa

By Allie Sanon

I was sitting on a stool in a doughnut shop talking tough with the other truckers and I was only eighteen years old. We sat there for a couple of hours and drank coffee. It was awesome. I had a nice steady run every night and I was only just getting started in trucking. Trying hard to soak in all the useful advice I could while trying real hard not to come across as a complete novice, I just sat there listening to the stories from veteran truckers. I don't believe I fooled anyone, though. I have some fond memories, as I look back, of those long, sleepless nights. But that was over twenty years ago. There are options I wish I had back then as I look around today at what's available for chiropractic care in Orange County and this one night sticks out in my memory.

Now, back to the stool I was sitting on in the Orange County doughnut shop. What eighteen year old needs a chiropractor? I was too young for that. I wasn't hurt at all! I noticed the clock on the wall while I was sitting there listening to the trucker talk. I needed to get going because it had gotten late. So I stood up, turned around, took two steps and hit the floor. My back had suddenly decided to give out on me. I couldn't move or get up at all. Two of the older truckers got me to my feet and helped me to my truck. After they put me in the driver's seat I assured them I was alright and thanked them for the assistance. I should have seen a chiropractor in Costa Mesa the next day but I was only eighteen years old.

That was the first incident with my back. The instances of throwing my back out like that came and went periodically. Sometimes for days at a time I couldn't even walk. Now, I am not a small man in any way. What I mean is I've always been very muscular. It was very odd for me to be put out of commission like that in such a spasmodic way. It was also very embarrassing to look so strong and yet actually be so weak practically. I should have seen that Costa Mesa chiropractor back then But I didn't. I just toughed it out and walked it off like every real man does; until recently that is.

Here we are, after twenty years. I finally took the time to seek out a chiropractor in Orange County and I'm happy I found Candice McCowin. Because I have neglected my back for so long I walk with a slight forward lean. Also since I sat in my truck for nearly two million miles with my wallet in my right pocket I am currently suffering from sciatica. I don't think I could be in worse shape. I will not be this way for very long. I have found an Orange County chiropractor to help straighten my posture and I've given up the trucking lifestyle. She is going to use something called corrective care to straighten me out and her name is Candice McCowin.

She won't drain my bank account like so many others have wanted to do. She is genuinely concerned about me and it shows. - 31376
