The Lacey Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Lacey

Introducing Lacey Chiropractor Dr. Ryan Sweet

“I just wish I had known then what I know now…"

For the better half of my life I spent my time searching for answers to health problems that I thought were normal to be affected with. No one told me that these health conditions I faced were actually symptoms of a correctable cause. Looking back on it now I can see that due to the experiences I went through, no matter how difficult they were, I am a better Chiropractor because of them.

I am happy to say that I now am able to live a life without fear.

I used to worry about colds and flues because they would affect me so badly. There wasn't a season I remember that I wasn't sick with something. I simply don't get sick like I used to, if at all.

Some people experience less allergies as they age, not me, mine continued to get worse, to the point that even prescription medications would barely relieve my symptoms. One summer my throat swelled so much from hay fever that I couldn't get a breath in for about a minute. It felt like eternity. My life flashed in front of me as I fought with every ounce of effort for my next breath. I just could barely breathe. I fought on my hands and knees to take in some air and finally after coughing violently and struggling I was able to breath in a small amount. Due to what felt like a near death experience I was claustrophobic, I couldn't sleep without having the lights on for about a year. This was an experience that lead me to find answers with my health.

Now the allergies and asthma that affected me throughout my young life up through my twenties are all but gone. It is amazing really to look back on what I used to deal with.

I no longer have bloody noses; I don't see stars when I get up too fast. I don't get dizzy anymore either. The warts on my fingers and feet started to disappear on their own.

The cystic acne that plagued my face and back is nothing but a painful memory. I know how it feels not to be able to look someone in the eyes. It was a sad time in my life where my self confidence didn't exist.

What was it that changed my life? It was Chiropractic. It didn't all go away at once though some things did. Most of the health I have now took years for my body to restore once I was in alignment.

I only wish that I had been told sooner about Chiropractic.

Home and Hobbies:

My wife Karin and I met in Castro Valley California when I was in Chiropractic College. She was visiting from Sweden and had only been in the USA for about 1 year when we were introduced to each other. We have been inseparable since we met.

There were several years of my life that I raced motocross for a hobby. It became a passion that I followed. It took me over 5 years to become professional. I competed for over 7 years all together. My dad and I traveled all over Washington State, Oregon, California and Nevada to compete. Those were some of the most fun times I can recall. It came with a price though; I had several broken bones, torn ligaments, tendons, and various healed injuries from that rough sport... though, I wouldn't take any of it back. This hobby was another guiding factor that lead me to Chiropractic.

Healthy Habits:

In case you were wondering if I get Chiropractic care: Yes, I am checked once a week for subluxations. If I have any, I get adjusted and corrected right away.

I work out 3 to 5 times per week.

My daily supplements include: 1½ tablespoons of Carlson's fish oil; 1 Cap full of liquid vitamins and minerals; 2 to 4 oz of Zango.

I do eat home grown turkey, chicken and of course turkey and chicken eggs. I also eat from our organic garden. We grow everything we can think of, and each year it changes a little.

I no longer drink milk, I have cut down considerably on cheese and butter and other dairy products. Beef and pork are a thing of the past. I never have diet soda. I no longer have energy drinks of any kind. Very seldom do I have coffee. I do not eat at any fast food chains except at Subway occasionally.

Anything that has the following ingredients have been removed from my diet: Natural flavors, Spices, MSG, Hydrogenated - anything, hydrolyzed - anything, Artificial flavors, Aspartame, flavoring and Glutamate to name a few.

My entire family comes in for their regular adjustments. Please check the testimonials for my family’s life changing stories through Chiropractic Care.

Vaccinations do work, but at a price. Knowing what I know now, I would choose not to have them at all. I will not take pain medications. This used to be a common household item when I grew up, like aspirin, and Tylenol.

Most people now know that breast milk is the best for the child, and I agree.

I check and adjust new born babies! Most people don't know that adjusting a new born is possible. Not only is it possible it is highly recommended.
