April 27, 2014
It all started many years before January 2014, I am an Army Veteran with one tour in Iraq. An Army injury (IED blast, 2006) lead to pain in my left shoulder with severe tension headaches and migraines. January 2014 is when the pain I had been experiencing for 8 years escalated and seemed to shatter my life. I was an avid runner and aerial fitness participant attending class minimally 3 times a week. I started having severe knee and leg pain and was sent to an orthopedic doctor who told me I had arthritis in both knees with possible Rheumatoid Arthritis. My running and acrobatic career was placed on hold, for what I thought to be indefinitely. I did 12 weeks of physical therapy where I seemed to get worse, the pain extended to my hips and down to my feet and my headache remained constant. All the pain put me in a very aggravated and agitated mood. Everything upset me and made me angry. July 2014 (7 months in) the pain in my left arm and shoulder came back with a vengeance. I couldn’t even sleep for more than 2 hours at a time with a maximum of 4 hours of sleep at night. My whole body hurt ALL THE TIME which I attributed to my time in the military, my accidents and my age. November 2014, I was working in a jail and was in a classroom surrounded by inmates when my whole body had a shock of pain shoot through it and then I stiffened up and could not move. I had to be wheeled out to an awaiting ambulance, scariest moment of my life which is hard to believe since I have been to Iraq. The hospital didn’t have an answer. I saw Rheumatologists, Neurologists, Family Doctors, I kept being told that it was all in my head. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The pain wasn’t as severe as my trip to the hospital but it was horrifically worse than any other pain I have felt. The pain wore me out so much that I slept most of time.
It was at this point my husband was researching alternative treatments for fibromyalgia and came across Dr. Racine. I have never been big into holistic approaches and thought if something was wrong then my specialist would have caught it. Relently, I went to my first appointment in February 2015 and Dr. Racine was very informative about what could be causing my symptoms. He did tell me that he would not know for sure until my x-rays were analyzed by him but he had heard about instanced like me before, pain without knowing where it was coming from. I will admit, I was a skeptic at first because with all of my previous x-rays, MRIs and scans surely my specialist we all hear about constantly (Neuros and such) would have found it. I went back for my consult after Dr. Racine PERSONALLY reviewed my x-rays and WOW. I took one look and I knew instantly that something was wrong with my neck. Dr. Racine took an hour to explain to me and my husband what we were looking at and how my atlas was 7 DEGREES OFF CENTER (he normally sees .75 degrees, I was a whole 7) and how the compression of the Atlas on my spinal cord could cause all of issues. That day I had my first and ONLY atlas adjustment. As soon as the machine puffed the air and moved my atlas I felt the blood rush to my face (my husband said my face was redder than he had ever seen it. Like I was upset and about to go on a killing spree) and the pain was practically instantaneously gone. Dr. Racine and his staff helped design a 16 visit plan to realign everything that my off center atlas had threw off to include my lower backs and my hips. I have continued to see Dr. Racine since that day in February to get small adjustments on my hips and such, but have not needed any other adjustments on my atlas. Everything is pain free and without cracking (Which I am terrified of!) I have been pain free since February and now sleep through the night. Since my adjustment my anxiety levels have lowered and I have started back to working out with elliptical training and walking with my son. But I am so lucky to finally have not only answer, but a proactive remedy to prevent this from occurring again.

Dr. Hill is wonderful! Always friendly and kind. She is a gentle and thorough chiropractor. I always feel much better after a visit!
