What's up with your back, Joy?

Hey y'all, I just wanted to give everyone an update on my back. So after my last Prolo appointment in July my doc gave the all clear to try out Spinal Decompression. We went yesterday for a consultation which ended by getting my first treatment.

I am hopeful that the Spinal Decompression treatments will get my back back in shape. The owner was so kind to explain the procedure and answer our questions. She has actually gone through the program herself and enjoys normal activities and sports now. I am praying that I will soon be able to say the same.

It is going to be some kind of crazy in my house over the next 8 weeks with multiple appointments each week added to our schedule. Michael has continuously reminded me though that in the end it will be all worth it if this is what it takes to heal my discs. So please, if we act a little crazy or stare off into space while in the middle of a conversation, give us a little bit of grace. :)

After two treatments my pain level is already down to a 3. I am actually noticing more range of motion without pain racing up and down my back. I only noticed one major muscle spasm last night... So YAY! My legs are really achy but we are hopeful that the nerves will begin to heal quickly and that the achy pain will subside soon.

Thank you all for your continued prayers on behalf of our family and especially my back.
