"I’m Happy" 🙌

This Monday evening, another incredible group of patients and parents shared their Stories of Hope in our Green Chair Series. Each one of them is so excited for the opportunity to tell their stories because they know this is how others will be led to their own healing. 🙏

I had the privilege of interviewing one of our teenage patients, Blake, who came to us for Functional Neurological Movement Disorder, which manifested as severe Tics and verbal outbursts.

Thankfully Blake’s mom, Nicole, had a personal connection to a PX doc originally from our area and referred them to us. Blake started with us early in the onset of the condition, worsening by the minute.

Blake explained during our interview that the Tics had quickly gone from a couple of instances over a week to taking over all the waking hours of every day.

During the interview, Blake also shared details about significant mental health struggles that they had experienced for over the last decade.

This included hospitalizations and inpatient programs.

After our time together, I wrote down this quote shared during our session. I can not think of a bigger or more important meaning to our actions. Yes, we have achieved wildly effective results with Blake’s FNMD, but most importantly, Blake is happy.

“The biggest surprise has been my mental health. I’m the best I’ve been in over 10 years; I’m happy.”

There is simply no greater purpose we can serve in chiropractic than restoring kids' health and quality of life.
