Recovery After Whiplash
Meet Holly Doll, a Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultant. In 2007, Holly was pondering whether she should go out for dinner or stay in and watch Oprah. Her decision to go out for dinner changed her life when she suffered a car accident, on the way back from that dinner, that left her with a great deal of unbearable pain.
You have a whiplash injury they told her; it may get better over time. She attended many chiropractic and massage appointments that she was referred to by her insurance company, on top of going to physio every week. But the pain didn’t get better and soon her coverage ran out, leaving her to pay out of pocket for all her appointments.
“It was hard to do day to day activities like cleaning my house, and simply being present” - while experiencing what would become chronic pain, says Holly
For over a year, she persisted and continued the battle to recover from the pain, headaches, insomnia, burnout, and stress she experienced due to the car accident. Nothing seemed to work and she didn’t want to continue spending time, effort and money in care that was not making a difference.
Then, a co-worker recommended going to Lochend Clinic. A clinic that specialized in recovery from trauma through specialized massage. At Lochend Clinic, she went through a very thorough assessment and examination. They were compassionate and intentional in their approach, and she was asked all the right questions in order to get to the bottom of everything that was not right since the car accident. After her examination, they recommended a whole-body treatment versus just focussing on specific points of trauma.
“Just by studying how I walked, they could tell I was misaligned, and that I was suffering”
After just a few treatments, she could really feel the change. Now Holly lives a pain free life, she tells me as I chat with her, and she wishes she had gone to Lochend Clinic right after the accident. Holly’s connection to the clinic is really meaningful to her. “It just really changed my life,” she says. Holly continues to be a loyal client of Lochend clinic and she gets tune ups and adjustments on a regular basis.
“If you get in an accident, don’t waste your time, go straight to Lochend Clinic!” - Holly Doll
