Chiropractic Success Story

Dr. Raffaela “Ela” Villella

Ricki Angelus, chiropractic success story“I was told at a high school screening that I had scoliosis. I was embarrassed that my clothes didn’t fit well and was self conscious. I had pain and tightness in my upper back and chest and I thought there was no hope. And then I went to chiropractic school and started getting adjusted. Chiropractic has been amazing for me.”

My name is Raffaela Villella. My friends call me Ela. When I was in the 9th grade, I remember being in gym class and they were doing scoliosis checks. Every other time I had been checked, they never said anything, but this time they asked me if anyone in my family had scoliosis. I told them that no one in my family did. Then in 11th grade, another scoliosis screening was held in gym class. This time, they told me to go to an orthopedic doctor. I went in and had x-rays and was told, “You have scoliosis. Come back in a year and we’ll see if it gets worse.” What? See if it gets worse? I had no clue what it even meant to have scoliosis. The only good thing was that I then realized why my clothes did not fit properly and why my strap would fall off my shoulder. I was embarrassed that my clothes didn’t fit well and self conscious. I went home and cried the day I found out. The doctor didn’t give me any other information on scoliosis and I never went back to see if “it got worse”. I thought that there was no hope.

Fast forward to chiropractic school. I entered school and found out that chiropractic could help my scoliosis. I found out also that if I had been presented earlier with the option of chiropractic, then my scoliosis would have been easier to correct. Since my scoliosis had gotten worse, I had a long road ahead of me.

The benefits of chiropractic have been amazing. I did experience pain and discomfort and now I am less inclined to have those symptoms. Since starting corrective care with Chiro One, I can feel a difference now. My muscles are not as fatigued. I am still getting my spine corrected and will continue to do so.
