Understanding Lower Back Pain

When I first came to Foster Family Chiropractic, I was honestly desperate. I could barely move. I was in constant pain, relying on painkillers and muscle relaxants just to get through the day. I was also dealing with debilitating muscle spasms that would leave me unable to work, barely able to move, and needing help just to get through basic things. When those episodes happened, the pain would often linger for months afterward. My life had shrunk to going to work, pushing through the pain, and then going straight to bed.
Today… I can’t even believe the difference.
From the beginning, they gave me a clear plan and, more importantly, real hope. What stood out to me right away was their mindset, they weren’t trying to make me dependent on them forever. They told me the goal was to get me better, to the point where I might only need to come in occasionally for maintenance or when something flares up.
That level of honesty and long-term thinking meant everything to me.
They also encouraged a well-rounded approach to healing. They were completely open to me exploring other treatments like physiotherapy or osteopathy and genuinely wanted to be part of a bigger health plan, not control it. That’s something I hadn’t experienced before, and it made me trust them even more. (However I did not end up utilizing any of the other treatments)
I followed the plan they laid out, starting at three times a week, then twice, and now once a week. The progress has been life-changing.
I’m back in the gym. I’m moving comfortably at work. I haven’t had a muscle spasm in months. I feel strong again. I feel like myself again.
Beyond the physical results, the care I received here went deeper than just adjustments. They were kind, patient, and supportive through everything, even when I was dealing with other health concerns. You can truly feel that they care about you as a person, not just a patient.
I’m about to go on a vacation and won’t be seeing them for a few weeks, which would have terrified me before. Now, I genuinely believe I’m going to be okay, and that says everything about how far I’ve come because of them.
I honestly don’t think I’d be living the life I am now if I hadn’t come here.
I’m so, so grateful.

The entire team at Foster Family Chiropractic is fantastic! They are all so caring and professional. Dr. Warner and Dr. McDonald are very knowledgeable and work hard to make people feel better. Thank you for the great care!

This place is amazing from the people that work here to the atmosphere. I used to be scared of chiropractors but since coming here they have totally changed my mind. Danielle Warner has worked wonders on me. I definitely would recommend coming here.

Dr. Ramsey truly changed my life.

After over a year of medical testing—x-rays, ultrasounds, endoscopy, and several medications—I still had no answers for my persistent abdominal pain. It wasn’t until a gastroenterologist suggested it might be postural that I turned to chiropractic care as a last resort.

At my very first visit, Dr. Ramsey approached my case with genuine care, curiosity, and a fresh perspective. She diagnosed me with costochondritis—something no one else had identified—and everything finally started to make sense.

With regular treatment, I’ve been able to manage the condition and return to daily life without chronic pain. Dr. Ramsey is not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but also one of the kindest and most compassionate people I’ve met. I’m so thankful to have found her!
