Hi, my name is Kim Warianka. I work in the billing department here at ABQ Family Chiropractic.

My chiropractic journey started back in 2007 when our oldest daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis, which is curvature of the spine. Her curve was so significant that she was in pain. We knew we needed to do something to help her; we just didn’t know what. We also knew we did not want her to have surgery. So in looking for a more non-invasive solution, we were told to look into chiropractic care. At that point, I have to say we didn’t know anything about chiropractic. However, we were desperate, so I called and made an appointment for her. Sitting down with the doctor and discussing care for our daughter, we were shocked to learn about the many benefits of chiropractic. Of course we started her care immediately.

While we were taking her to her weekly appointments, we would talk to the doctor and we would also attend every workshop that was offered. During this time we realized that chiropractic was so much more than the alignment of the spine. We found that when your spine is out of alignment, it can put pressure on your central nervous system, and it’s your central nervous system that communicates to all of your internal organs. SO … if your central nervous system is not healthy, it could lead to sickness, illness, or disease. After learning this, it didn’t take us long to get our whole family under chiropractic care, and we have been here ever since. While I can’t say that chiropractic care took away our daughter’s scoliosis, I can say that it did take her pain away and that her scoliosis did not get any worse. I now joke with Dr. Phil that he is my primary physician. I do believe that consistent chiropractic care along with good nutrition and exercise is what keeps us healthy.
