How Has Chiropractic Helped You?

We both have experienced chronic pain. Trying chiropractic years ago made us realize it was effective, but a life-long process. Since we are both active and enjoy travelling, we made the decision to set an ongoing program to keep us moving and out of pain.

We highly recommend chiropractic care at anyone, especially those in pain. Pain determines your attitude in life, so why not choose to live natural and pain-free as you can?

Looking for a Quality Chiropractor and Wellness Program in Dripping Springs, TX?

Here is what our patients have to say:

The idea of going for chiropractic care started several years after a motorcycle accident. My right ribs, scapula, and clavicle had fractured. One day while walking into work, I noticed my shoulders stooping forward and saw that my left foot had a pronounced angle to the outside. At the time, I was the biggest skeptic of chiropractic care, c’mon, manipulating bones to (one), stop stooping and (two) to feel better. Seriously! But I felt I needed to try something, without resorting to pain meds. Once I decided to make an appointment, Dr. Chae was very patient. I was scared; would it hurt; would the treatments do more harm to my healed bones? And the neck manipulation, that is my LIFE in his hands! Dr. Chae, calm as ever, had heard it all before and proceeded to explain the benefits. He discussed terms like Atlas, subluxations, activator, manipulation of nerve endings, and turning my Power On-huh! Dr. Chae gave me an adjustment. And it did not hurt! He stayed away from neck, that took a while! I think he had flagged my file. Then one day, surprise, he did a neck adjustment. Well it felt GREAT! And now I love having my neck adjusted! I feel so much better thanks to Family First and the staff. I know the Doctors there have assisted me in getting off all asthma medications. The left foot walks correctly and I am no longer losing height. In fact, I gained a quarter inch. My shoulders are aligned properly. I rarely have need to see another physician for other medical issues. Thanks to Dr. Chae and Dr. Sam for keeping me healthy. Who knew adjustment to the spine could keep the body strong! I am a true believer and highly recommend Family First. The benefits are amazing.

I first reached out to FFC late in 2020 as I had begun experiencing very painful sciatica in my right leg. I have degenerative disc disease and some fairly significant low back issues and over time, they had begun to create further problems which manifested in shooting nerve pain radiating down my leg. I had lived with nagging low back pain for decades but decided the nerve pain needed to be addressed and pronto. Within one visit to FFC (for a spinal adjustment and decompression treatment), my sciatica was noticeably improved and within a few weeks, it had nearly resolved completely. I began with treatments three times per week and over time, the number of visits to FFC has been reduced to once per week. Soon, I will be on a maintenance schedule, just to make sure I keep my spine and health in tip top shape. Not only have my periodic assessments and x-rays shown actual spinal improvement but for the first time in over 30 years, I have no lower back pain and my sciatica is virtually gone and only manifests when I’ve sat or driven too long. The staff at FFC’are wonderful, caring, knowledgeable and delightful people with which to work. I can’t say enough good things about them and all the help they’ve provided to me over these last months.

We have long believed in the benefits of chiropractic therapy. I used to travel a great deal and was in and out of airports between long flights. The result was severe back spasms and losing range in my neck. Meanwhile, Victoria was raising our 7 children and later helping with our 29 grandchildren. Exercise alone, whether aerobic or anaerobic, was not enough. We met a NUCA expert in Denver when I could no longer get on an airplane due to back pain. He worked miracles with my back. So, when we moved to Dripping Springs, we were delighted when a friend recommend Dr. Che and his experts. We immediately fell in love with his staff and the holistic approach to keeping us flexible, mobile, and aligned. The entire experience from the initial X-rays and consultation to Miss Amanda and Dr. Che and Dr. Sam was thorough and very helpful to our overall health. Later, we added Josh and his massage therapists. Now, we both have great range in our necks and my back is well taken care of. Once in a while, after some strenuous work around the house with ladders, hoses, rakes, and weeding, Dr. Che provides us with some extra therapy and before long, the pain is gone. If this was not enough, Dr. Che added vitamin therapy with Dr. Brecca and her staff and we
benefit from that too. Like I said, the holistic approach is wonderful. Now, if they could just add an attitude adjuster, we would be all set. And what a great overall office experience led by Dr. Monya. The front office crew is fantastic. We love the way they answer the phone ” … I can help.” It is fun being around them and we look forward to our visits. We are great fans of Family First Chiropractic and highly recommend them to anyone.

More Testimonials

Before seeking chiropractic care, I had aches and pains that were constantly nagging at me and distracting me from my daily activities.  Chiropractic care at Family First has improved my knowledge, understanding, and perception of the root cause of some of those aches and pains and helped me to get on the right path to relieving them.  I am feeling great and loving the overall improvement in my day to day health and the energy that it had brought back to me.  Seeing how my habits and my posture play into my health, I have been able to make some small adjustments that have had a big impact.  I would recommend chiropractic care as a great way to get back on track and feeling great.

“I’m so grateful for my assessment after my husband sought care (and has improved so much!) I’d been praying for a while to be completely healed from the inside-out without having any more visits to doctors who had helped me try to solve high blood pressure, heart attacks, broken back, and stroke problems. My prayers have been answered beyond expectations. I’ve not only become pain free, but the tiny black spots that became a part of my vision after the stroke (as I read or merely enjoyed the view) have disappeared, along with panic attacks. Pain I had for years is relieved, and I have renewed hope and faith that I’ll remain pain free, energetic, and strong. I’m so thankful for this wonderful team with their unique skills and caring—they constantly amaze me. I encourage all to seek this natural care this group provides.”

–Cindy L.

 

“I originally visited Family First Chiropractic for an aching back. Dr. Tracy and his staff quickly identified a problem that I’ve had for over 10 years. I have poor posture with little to no curve in my neck. The staff developed a treatment plan for my back as well as my neck. The plan involved exercises and adjustments. My back feels great and my posture is much improved. The chiropractic care I have received was excellent and I would recommend Family First Chiropractic to everyone. The personalized care, friendly office staff, and knowledgeable doctors make for an enjoyable visit every time. Thank you.”

“I was a ‘hard sell’…

I will admit that I was a “hard sell” and have actively avoided Chiropractors – mainly due to some bad advice from a football coach years ago. Tolerating pain(with the help of anti-inflammatory pills) had become part of my life just like paying taxes. Not fun but, well you know…

Then four months ago, I walked into a booth and sat in a massage chair at an event in Dripping Springs for a free 10 minute massage by a talented massage therapist of Family First. I was extremely impressed to say the least. I accepted an offer at that booth to go in to the “shop” the following week for x-rays and an analysis. The knowledge, professionalism, friendliness, and overall demeanor of the Doctors and staff gave me the confidence to give it a try.

It has absolutely worked for me. The treatments are careful and gradual and I felt comfortable being there right away. I haven’t needed to take a pill for pain since the second week of treatment. I am not the type to write testimonials; but I am so thankful that I stumbled into this place that I thought I would share in hopes that others may have a similar experience. Unlike taxes, we really don’t have to tolerate being unhealthy.”

“I am forever grateful!

The summer of 2013 was extremely stressful for me. I had just moved to Austin along with the stress of looking for a new job.

I had taught computers for 18 years and that combined with a car accident and a horseback riding accident and all my stress put my body in extreme pain.

I was getting spasms in my lower back and had minimal range of motion in my neck and left arm.

After an aggressive chiropractic regimen set up by Drs at Family First Chiropractic and several months of care, my pain and the abnormal curve in my spine have virtually disappeared!”

–Kathleen D

 

“I had never been to a chiropractor because I didn’t want to get “hooked” on going every week. And let’s be honest, the idea of someone cracking my back with the force of their own body weight in some kind of “bear hug” did not get me too excited either. However, after a flag football injury to my neck at 48 years old convinced me that I was not as young as I had thought, I realized that I needed help. I finally called Family First Chiropractic and they got me in right away. The office team was not only friendly, but knowledgeable, and carefully led me through understanding what they were going to do during their initial evaluation. Dr. Chae showed me around the entire facility and I could tell immediately that their name is meaningful to them. From the casual and welcoming atmosphere, to the kids play area, to the gentle wandering Chocolate Lab, they are family friendly.

I started a journey to wellness with chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy and physical therapy. Along the way, I learned about my body, how I handle stress, helpful exercises, and I even took some supplements that really made a difference. The whole experience has been amazing. I feel better, I work and play better, and I think I might even look better. Family First is great group of people who not only treat you to a wonderful experience, they treat you like family. I highly recommend them to you.”
