People who have been around the Chiropractic profession for a while sometimes get rather accustomed to seeing astounding results. Still, the success story of Laura Hattier and the life-changes for her following Houston Chiropractic adjustments is one for the books.

When Laura was born, she was completely blind. The doctors told her parents there was no hope that her eyesight would ever develop. Her problem was called congenital nystagmus, a condition where the eye experiences involuntary shaking and causes severe vision loss.

This situation did not stop Laura from working to achieve. As a child her vision did improve somewhat, but she was still unable to play or read like normal children. “When I was a child, I would look in an adult textbook and all I could see were dots,” Laura said. “I thought, ‘Wow, grown-ups are really special to be able to look at dots and get words out of that!’”

By the time Laura turned 16 her vision had improved some more, but she was still legally blind. Doctors continued to tell her there was no hope for her condition. Additionally, she began suffering from severe stomach ulcers.

However, Laura did not let that stop her. She decided to enter a teen beauty pageant, and she won. That event changed her life and opened doors that would have otherwise remained closed. “That was the best things about my teenage years,” she said.

Sometime later, Laura’s life was about to take another amazing turn!

When Laura entered college, she took a part time job in a Chiropractic office in Delmar, Delaware. The doctor, Donald Hattier, suggested that he give her an adjustment and this is when her life turned on a dime. In fact, after her first adjustment, her ulcers disappeared and her vision began to improve. It happened that fast.

As the story continues, Laura went on through school and got to the point where she submitted her official resignation at the Chiropractic office. It was at this time that Dr. Donald asked her out on a date. The happy story continues with the two of them now married and the parents of 4 children.

At age 39, Laura is living the life she never thought possible.  Her vision has improved to 20/50 and she is able to take care of her family and run daily errands. “I can pick my kids up from school, I can drive my kids to church and I can go to the grocery store for my family,” she said. “I am truly thankful for that.”

According to a recent study at a Houston chiropractor clinic in Houston, Tx, 90 percent of women who turn to Chiropractic care during pregnancy have sought out help due to problems with pelvic pain. For 30 percent of the women, Chiropractic was their first treatment choice.

The study collected data from the first 100 pregnant women to arrive at the clinic after the study began.

The study also found that:

Those who had never had back pain before waited the shortest time before seeking treatment.

The longer patients waited to seek Chiropractic care, the more pain sites they experienced and the more areas of the spine required treatment.

Chiropractic has been very successful at eliminating several other problems connected to pregnancy, such as:

• The need for Caesarian sections has been reduced by being able to get a baby out of a breech position with Chiropractic adjustments.
• Chiropractic has been known to reduce labor time in delivery.
• Chiropractic can reduce the pain during, before, and after delivery.
• Chiropractic reduces low back pain during pregnancy.
• Chiropractic improves success rates of In Vitro fertilization.
• Chiropractic care can definitely make pregnancy, labor and delivery easier for mother and child.
