Lower Back Pain and Neuropathies
“HealthQb helped me manage my nervous system and turn down my internal ‘noise’. As my anxiety and fear decreased, so too did my pain. HealthQb helped me connect it all together.”
The Client
I work full-time as a chiropractor, and for the last two years I have have been suffering from low back pain and bilateral lower extremity neuropathies. I’m a 33 year-old woman.
The Challenge
I suffer from severe fatigue, brain fog, pain, vision problems, anxiety, vertigo and dizziness on a daily basis as a result of an autoimmune disease. This makes my physically demanding job very challenging. My symptoms also prevent me from pursuing hobbies like running, biking, and hiking.
Before HealthQb
I thought I was doing everything that I needed: physio, chiropractic treatments, acupuncture, massage therapy and working with a psychologist, naturopath, and my family doctor. But I hit a plateau where I was only physically recovering, but not for the long-term.
Using HealthQb
HealthQb holds me accountable to the things I used to skip, like mindfulness, breathwork, and gratitude. HealthQb presented these daily practices in ways that felt achievable for me. I’m not someone who can easily bring myself to meditate, but I know I need it. Having HealthQb’s objective data allows me to give myself the "permission" to feel run down or tired. I’m active with work and a busybody at times, so I often ignore my body’s signals. HealthQb helped me discover them. The calls with a coach were really helpful to tailor the program to my needs.
Results
I feel better than I have in the past year and it's nice to be able to see the consistent results daily in the app. And as I started to feel a lot better overall, my recovery scores started meeting the HealthQb target zone more consistently. My data-driven mind loves this and helps me feel better about how I'm taking care of myself.
