Hi there,
I am in Such Pain today.. I woke up.. and could hardly move. This is so odd to me, I know that I have had back issuse since my kids were born. The whole back labor for me. I have a 6 year old and a 5 month old, both of which are boys. I need to stay up.. and active, but I am down and " Can not Get up!" I know that there are So many different chiropractors out there, I just wanted to know if there are mom's out there, in the Vancouver, WA area, that can recomend a really good one.
I am walking at a 90 degree right now, and feel and prob look 90years old. This is not a good thing. Why does this happen so much after I have my kids? My back is always out of wack.
My husband even bought us a Sleep Number bed, well.. that's not even working..
Well.. thank you in advance.. I would love any advice..
Thanks So much!

So... Thank you everyone! For all your Responses!!
I feel the need to update, In case there are other mom's out there with the same ammount of pain that I was In. So shortly after this request for the Chiro, I went in to the ER, I just COuld not take the Pain, The Chiro's were not working, and infact I think that made the issue worse. Before I went to the Er, I went in and had my DR, order an MRI. Having that, I could barley, get up on the table. I was crying.. This was not right... 2 day's later, my dr called.. with the News.. " A., I am sorry to tell you, but you need surgury" There was a very long pause. I was shocked!! I am young.. I have bones of steal I thought... Well.. I wanted a 2nd opinion, so then that's where I left of, The ER. As I waited in my room, I handed the Dr, my MRI, ( it was on a CD) He came back in the ER room, after giviing me much needed pain relief, * that seamed to do nothing.) When he came back in the room, he said, We are Admiting, you. I was So scared. I asked him what it looked like. He said, I had a hearniated Disc, that was pinching my nerve so bad, it was almost cut in two. hmmm.. maybe that's what could explain that my leg was numb, and my other one was starting to feel week. I was so glad that I had answers, and that soon I would be able to walk Straight upright. So I checked in the Hospital on A Sat/My surgury was not until TUEsday!!! and I went home on WED! Yeah.... I was there the whole time. I just felt the need to tell my story, there are so many mom's out there, that have pain, and 1. just ignore it,2. want to fix it but maybe are too scared, or 3. My Health insurance was changing over, and I was uninnsured, for 1 week, ( durning the surrgury) GO figure!! SO... needless to say, This surgury saved my life, I could not go one more day in the amount of pain that I was in. When the dr, asked me how come I was not checked in earlier in the week, I told him that I was trying to wait until MAY 1st, when My insurance started. Unfortunally this happens all too much, in the Us. I am home now, it's been 7 days, and I am feeling So so much better. I can not lift my 6 mo old, for a while. I am just so greatful that I was able to have this operation. When I asked the dr, how this happened, his reply was " It's like Grey hair. some people get it, some people dont" a little vauge, but.. honest. Just wanted everyone to know.. if you are in So much pain, and a chiro is not helping.. go have an mri, and get healthy!
Thanks..

Sorry.. for all the mis spelled words, I am SO tired :)
We have a chiropractor in Vancouver that we love and have been going to for about 10 years. Dr John Kojis ###-###-####. 104 SE 107th Avenue, Vancouver WA 98664. www.kojischiro.com
Try Dr. Phillip Miller he is on Millplain BV in Vancouver and has been in the business for years. Good luck.
i'm not sure which side of vancouver on. if you're near the eastside, i love dr lori (can't remember her last name) at priority chiropractic near QFC on 192nd. hope you feel better!
Hi A.,
I can't remember the name of the place but the name of the Dr is Tony Grafton. His office is next to the Wells Fargo Financial building on Chakalov(sp?). Take 205 to Mill Plain. West off the exit, right on Chakalov. It will be on your left hand side after the Shell Station.
He treated me after a car accident. Such a nice guy with a wife and kids. Very gental and understanding. Staff was really nice aswell. Hope this helps :)
Hi!
I am sorry for your pain! I had cronic bad pain that just like started & My last son was 12..but I found out that it might be I was walking in such a way that it put pressure on my spine. I had kinda defored feet(ballet dancing) & well, had both feet straightened & the pain has disappeared!
Just a thought...I didn't think it would work!!!
About me: I am 67yrs old(Florida's oldest birth mom & still have to feel good! I also have a 15yr old son & a 41 yr. old son+++a 39 yr. old son. So I have" been around the block" so to speak. My last husband has mental problems & isn't around but I am glad he is not the boys father..NOW THAT WOULD BE MORE PAIN!
A.....the BEST Chiropractor in Vancouver is Dr. Doug Forgey. He is at Hazel Dell Sports Medicine....He is absolutely the best!! I have seeing him for 25-30 years. My whole family sees him (the kids love him). I have sent several friends to him - even the ones afraid of chiroprators - and they all love him. Their phone number is ###-###-####. The are located on 78th street right behind Izzy's. Great guy...his wife and daughter work there.....I can't say enough good things about him!! Let me know how it works out. K. L.
I would recommend Shawn Axten, a physical therapist,
that is trained in cranial sacral therapy. She is great.
I arrive in pain and leave pain free. She is also great
with kids and is located in Orchards. ###-###-####
I have found to reduce pain, which can be caused by both
being out of alignment and inflammation, I have cut out
sugar and increased Omega 3 oils. My newest find is
Barleans Omega Oils, found at Whole Foods. A few spoonfuls
a day. It has a creamy lemon taste like a lemon pie. They also make a creamy Blueberry flavor.
Dr Mark Blessley at Good Health Naturally is super awesome. Not only is he kind, patient, and non rushed but he's always been able to fix whatever ailment I have with a single visit.. it sounds like it might take a couple for you but... His office is very kid friendly, in fact one time I took my infant daughter with me to an appointment shortly after I had given birth to her and the receptionist happily held her the entire time I was with Dr Blessley and another time his wife was in the office when I had to bring both my older kids with me and she played with them while I was in my appointment. I wish my insurance would cover well visits because I would take my whole family in for regular adjustments because I love him THAT much:)
Stop the insanity... and go see Dr. Troy Drieling at Absolute Chiropractic on 94th and Fourth Plain. Tell them J. sent you.
Dr. Tony Grafton is a great chiropractor. He is located on Chkalov next to Lacamas Credit Union.
I have known him since middle school and am also a patient. He is a very nice guy. ###-###-#### Good luck
He also accepts many insurance plans including Kiaser
