Correction of the Month

No More Living in Pain!

Kaitlyn Badaczewski

Zelienople, PA


As a busy Mom and Physician Assistant, Kaitlyn did not have time for the lower back pain that plagued her life. It was even difficult for her to get on the floor to play with her daughter. Also, she wanted to get pregnant, but her first pregnancy was miserable, so she was hoping that corrective care chiropractic was her answer!

In March of 2023, she came to our practice as a 32-year-old with

Phase 1 cervical spinal degeneration and Phase 2 lumbar spinal degeneration.

This was not good news for someone so young, as she did not want to be incapacitated later in life!

Kaitlyn wanted to getting healthy and committed to a corrective care program.


In just over a year of care, her cervical spine is now NORMAL and her lumbar spine has corrected to Phase 1! What does that all mean to her on a daily basis?


“This has been life changing for me because I no longer have back pain and I am able to run around and play with my kids!” 


Yes, Kaitlyn now has two daughters, so for nine months of her care plan she was pregnant and still was able to receive these life changing results!

Kaitlyn also told us that her second pregnancy was so much better

(Dr. Cotey used the Webster’s technique when adjusting her)!


“This pregnancy I not only felt better but I had a healthier pregnancy!”


We are so happy to care for Kaitlyn at Family Chiropractic and congratulate her on being our August Correction of the Month!


 

With this time of year, comes discussions around kid's ability to focus, foods to fuel

the body and the brain as well as how to get the kids out the door without losing your mind as a parent. (or maybe that is just me?)

Nutritionally I start with what is on my kids’ plate, but I know the nutritional value today is not the same as foods 50 years ago. This is why both our daughters take daily morning supplements from Standard Process. Their morning routine includes a minimum of a multivitamin, a mineral and an Omega 3.


As for the school day – here is what we believe and how we approach the days:

1. How you start your morning highly influences how your day will progress.

2. Rhythms make our mornings easier!


No one in our family enjoys rushed mornings, so we ensure the girls get up at a consistent time – early enough for plenty of snuggles, reading a book or a hot SP Mocha on the porch. (Essentially a calm start to the day) Then off to their morning routine of making their bed, getting dressed, eating, taking supplements and brushing their teeth.


When everyone follows the routine (ahem *when* - because we all have off days including mom) we then can read more, play a card game, pick songs to dance to or even play outside a bit before the school day begins.

Kids thrive when they know what to expect and what is expected of them - for us this has made all the difference in not

"dreading" the school mornings. (Also seems to work on adults and their work day too!)


 

Omega 3

Did you know Omega 3 supplements are not just for your brain and heart, but also your joints and vital to your hormones and levels of energy?

Do you ever burp up a fish taste after you take your supplements? This means the fish oil you are taking is rotten. (Our fish oil never gives you a fishy taste – but if you do ever have a fishy burp with us – we know you need gallbladder attention asap!) When you read the label for mg of Omega-3 – does your product have more (usually 3-5 times more) Omega 6 even though it is labeled an Omega 3?


(By the way this slight of hand trick is not only allowed but completely legal – the only one who is winning is the profits of big business!)

he three supplements listed to the left are incredible sources for Omega 3's, however; all three forms of Omega 3 feed VERY different areas of the body.

Hormone or menstrual cycle support needs a different form than healing a concussion, wanting better focus, better memory or less achy joints.


So, be sure to talk to our team and we help customize the right support for you!






 

Please help us congratulate our recent Patients of the Week!

No more migraines for these ladies!


Sharon T.

Sharon, came to us through the Pittsburgh Migraine Challenge in 2020. She was having weekly migraines that affected all aspects of her life. Not only was she suffering from migraines, but she also had brain fog, neck discomfort and difficulty breathing. Fast forward to 2021 and 100% of these symptoms had cleared! Since then, Sharon continues to get adjusted and her infectious smile radiates through our office! We love having Sharon as a patient in our office!


Chelsea C.

Do we LOVE celebrating patients who no longer have migraines - YOU BET WE DO! Chelsea, who is Heather's sister, has been a patient for years and continues to make the drive from Guys Mills, PA (close to Erie) because she has seen life changing results! When you can live your life migraine-free, it definitely changes your life! Chelsea is such a beautiful soul and even brings her daughter, Peyton, to be adjusted. We are grateful that Chelsea has found relief from her debilitating migraines!



Joan H.

Look at Joan's beautiful smile! This is the smile of a woman who no longer has to worry about waking up with a migraine! Joan is an amazing patient who committed to a corrective care chiropractic program in November of 2023. Since then, her migraines have been pretty much eliminated and she has seen a significant improvement in other symptoms such as neck pain, low back pain, brain fog and flexibility. We love seeing Joan's smile in the office and celebrating her migraine-free lifestyle!


Nichole S.

Nichole has been a patient in our office since 2018. She was suffering with debilitating migraines and sacrum pain. It only took a short time for her migraines to disappear and her sacrum pain to be non-existent! She believed so much in the care she received at our office that she even brings in her kiddos to keep their power turned on! We are so excited to celebrate Nichole and are honored to have her and her family as patients!


Karen G.

Karen has been a patient in our office for only 3 months and has already received life-changing results stemming from her corrective care program! We tell our patients all the time that what we do in our office is unique and different and Karen can attest to that! She has seen other chiropractors in the past, but no one has been able to provide her with relief from her migraines. Now, she not only has fewer migraines but she is also decreasing her medications! We are so happy to be of service to you, Karen!
