When I lived in Old City, PA I was fortunate enough to find and utilize an amazing little sanctuary called Triune Chiropractic Counseling and Wellness. At the time, I was having chronic back pain. When I first experienced this pain I went to my family doctor who ran some tests and found some levels in my blood work that were slightly elevated. Being that I was complaining of pain they suggested I get my gallbladder removed. Hesitant of his option I went to a specialist for a second opinion. This lead to a series of some very invasive, ultimately unnecessary and potentially harmful procedures. Again, not satisfied with the direction the specialist was leading me in I got a third opinion from a "Top Doc" at UPenn. After receiving a procedure were they scoped down my throat, into the gallbladder and pancreas he found nothing wrong with either and said that sometimes pain can be stress-induced and that 90% of visits to the doctor are stress-related or illnesses caused by stress. This is when it really clicked that I needed to stay away from all of the anxiety-filled procedures and start finding a more gentle way to heal the body. At Triune they did just that. They offer amazing services ranging from chiropractic, various forms of massage, acupuncture, hydro-therapy, yoga sessions, pilates and have a vast amount of resources and educational materials to expand your knowledge on how to best heal your body.
