I started my chiropractic journey because my stress level was so out of control that nothing I did helped. My watch was constantly notifying me that I had poor HRV and my heart rate was too high. I had seen the change in my daughter over the past 3 years of treatment with Dr. Short, so I thought I would give it a try. After 3 months of regular adjustments my HRV has improved. I no longer wake up with a racing heart and I've noticed other changes I had never thought to hope for! I'm finally able to sit down and enjoy my family without that old feeling of stress building up in my throat -- that feeling of anxiety that would literally take my breath away. I'm so grateful I finally asked for help and did something for myself which has then in turn benefitted my family. It's such a great feeling to not be stuck in fight or flight anymore and get back to being myself.

I’ve been seeing chiropractors since I was young, and my experiences often involved the scary popping sounds and only short-term relief. Looking back, it feels like those methods may have made my situation worse. I am incredibly thankful for the different approach Dr. Short takes at Short Family Chiropractic. His neurologically focused chiropractic care has truly changed the game for me.
For years, my fight-or-flight response was completely broken, leading to constant tension in my shoulders. I often found myself sitting on the couch feeling stressed, even when nothing particular was bothering me. I tried to relax my shoulders by consciously telling myself to release the tension, but it was impossible. This constant stress not only caused daily tension headaches but also led to debilitating migraines several times a month. I remember being curled up in bed with the lights off, blackout curtains drawn, in the fetal position, desperately trying to avoid being sick or crying, which only made everything worse.
Thanks to Dr. Short, my nervous system is functioning so much better now. I no longer struggle with overwhelming tension or rely on over-the-counter pain pills for relief. I highly recommend his care to anyone dealing with brain fog, chronic pain, tension, headaches, or migraines. My quality of life has improved significantly, and I can’t thank Dr. Short enough for the positive changes he’s brought to my health!
