Finding Strength in Sobriety: How Chiropractic Care Became My Anchor

Chiropractic care is a very important component in sobriety.

Hey there, I’m Ryan Hookey, and this June marks two years of my sobriety journey. It hasn’t been easy, especially with a physically demanding job that often leaves me feeling worn out and tempted to seek solace in familiar but harmful habits.

During these past two years, I’ve discovered an unexpected ally in my quest for sobriety: my chiropractor. Regular visits to my chiropractor have been a cornerstone of my recovery journey, providing me with physical and emotional support that I never knew I needed.

One of the biggest challenges of early sobriety for me was dealing with the constant aches and pains that seemed to plague my body. Whether it was the lingering discomfort in my back or the tension in my neck, these physical pains often made it difficult to stay focused on my goal of living an alcohol-free life.

Through consistent chiropractic care, I’ve found relief from these pains that I used to tolerate or numb with alcohol.

Beyond the physical benefits, chiropractic care has also helped me cultivate a sense of balance and routine in my life. Amidst the chaos of early recovery, having a regular appointment with my chiropractor provided me with a much-needed anchor, a reminder to prioritize my health and well-being.

Perhaps most importantly, chiropractic care has been instrumental in managing my anxiety. The calming atmosphere of my chiropractor’s office, coupled with the hands-on approach to healing, has helped me find moments of peace and tranquility in the midst of life’s uncertainties.
