I first came to see Dr. Kimia out of complete desperation. I wasn’t even sure if chiropractors can help in my situation, but I heard that for some people they performed miracles and I had nothing to lose. For over two years I had been experiencing a steady worsening of a health concern that was being investigated by multiple health care practitioners with no luck. It started as one of my hands going numb, then both hands, then spread to my arms up to elbows, then both legs up to my knees. By the time I went to see Dr. Kimia I had tons of blood tests run, as well as CT scans, ultra sounds, and an MRI; I also saw multiple specialists, but still had no answers. She listened to my story very carefully and started trying things. To my complete amazement in just a few treatments she was able to get some sensation back into my hands. I couldn’t believe it! As my case was very complex, she recommended that I also see a massage therapist. They worked together, continuing to ask questions and pointing me in the direction of some theories about what might be going on. I also started working with a naturopath, and reading lots about things they all have been mentioning. After some experimentation with my diet and supplementation, I came to a conclusion that there were actually multiple things going on, each of them contributing a little bit. No wonder it was so challenging to find the cause! If only traditional doctors spent enough time with you to listen, I might have found the answers earlier… Very soon, some common threads started crystalizing and after some personal experiments with diet and supplementation sensation in my hands is now coming back! It’s still work in progress, but I now know that my condition is now permanent, which is all that matters. Alongside of this issue, Dr. Kimia discovered and fixed other problems I didn’t even know I had! I case of neck tendinitis that has been bothering me for a long time, but I didn’t even know could have been addressed this way. Compressed nerves in my hands, that were happening separately from what we think ended up being the main cause of my hands numbness – pernicious anemia. She also noticed and gave me some advice on my bad posture and lifted right shoulder, I didn’t notice was happening. My whole body used to feel kind of creaky, nothing horrible, but a pull here and a feeling of tightness there; and now it feels flexible and free of all those little annoyances. I didn’t even notice that all of those little things have been affecting me in the background, so it feels very amazing to not have them impacting my comfort and mood. I absolutely loved working with Dr.Kimia and would love to continue doing so when I get my insurance amounts renewed! So much benefit to my health and wellness.
