Mackenzie
Good teachers like Mackenzie are always on their feet and ready to step-in to help a student in need. They also spend a lot of time looking down at a screen ready to grade the next test or respond to parent emails. For Mackenzie, these constant movements created tightness and immobility in her neck and lower back which was preventing her from being at her best. Luckily, in August of 2021, Mackenzie happened to be in the right place at the right time and met Dr. Rhonda at an event hosted by the Anderson Area YMCA. After signing on to care with the E320 Chiropractic team, Mackenzie’s body began to function better, feel better, and wait for it…created a new life! Yep, despite a diagnosis of PCOS and being told she couldn’t get pregnant, Mackenzie proved ‘em wrong and became a momma after about a year and a half of chiropractic care!
Of course, finding out you’re pregnant for the first time comes with a lot of questions, and for Mackenzie, understanding how chiropractic care would play a role in her pregnancy was at the top of her list. She had this to say about transitioning from wellness care to pregnancy care:
“I already had a good relationship with Dr. Rhonda, and I trusted her, but I didn’t understand how I’d get adjusted with a big belly! She showed me the special pregnancy pillows and adjusting tool, and she explained to me what to expect as my body began to grow and change.”
The classic horror stories and warnings from well-meaning moms about how horrible pregnancy is didn’t stick to Mackenzie, and she’s now able to debunk them all.
“It was amazing. I didn’t know my body was so capable. I slept every single night, I hardly had any back pain, and when I did, an adjustment took care of it. My labor involved four pushes, and then he was out! Dr. Rhonda taught me to trust my body, and I trusted her ability to take good care of me,” Mackenzie explained.
Mackenzie’s smiling face with her new little guy in tow showed back up in the office just two short weeks after giving birth. She said, “I came back early for care because breastfeeding and holding his carrier was hurting my back. I’m a little nervous, but I can’t wait to learn more about having my baby adjusted. I just really recommend everyone to see Dr. Rhonda. Even if you have the slightest issue, get it looked at! She even helped me find a neurologically-focused chiropractor for my mom in Ohio!” Hearing Mackenzie gush over her new baby boy and the ease and joy she experienced during her pregnancy, gives the E320 Chiropractic team the warm fuzzies. Knowing that she felt confident and had a solid, trusted relationship with Dr. Rhonda and the rest of the team from the get-go makes us so proud of Mackenzie. She really put in the hard work of taking care of herself in order to be the best mom ever!
