My wellness journey at Ciccone Chiropractic & Wellness Center began almost a year ago. I had spent the previous thirteen years raising a family and working on my doctoral degree. Seven years in, my beloved aunt was diagnosed with cancer. It was time to keep the promise I had made to her some twenty years before, so I moved in to be her caregiver and companion.
The next six years were “our” end-of-life journey, highlighting for me that the well-being of everyone else had always been my priority. During the final two years, guided by our hospice team, I began to learn to consider my own needs without guilt. When my aunt passed, I found myself in a strange place with much less to do and no one to do anything for. So, I began to consider my future, which led me to Dr. Vito and Dr. Ciccone.
Stress-related health issues had dogged me since high school, and now that I was approaching the age of sixty, I decided it was time to feel better. I found Ciccone Chiro on Facebook and attended a complimentary webinar. I signed on after a personal follow-up, confident that I had finally found people who could help me reach my health goals in my 18-month timeframe.
Since starting the program, I have strictly adhered to all instructions, some of which have been particularly tough. Initial testing exposed allergies to several common foods such as eggs and yeast, so I stopped eating them cold turkey. I emerged from detox a few pounds lighter, feeling noticeably better!
With only six months until my birthday, I am happy with the progress I’ve made on the program. I’m also becoming a great vegan baker! I love the absence of symptoms and not worrying about rest areas while I’m out. My energy and sleep have improved, and I am excited for a healthy future. I’m so glad I found Ciccone Chiropractic!
