(This is why we do what we do with passion!)

In 1992, Kimberly Goreham (the founder of ChiroWorks/866MyChiro) was severely hurt in a traumatic auto accident. She was six months pregnant at the time of the accident. 

The impact of the accident led to:

§         a herniated disk in Kimberly’s neck between C4-C5

§         a subluxated left shoulder

§         ripped uterine ligaments

§         premature labor (lasting for weeks)

§         extreme back and neck pain

§         a nonstop migraine headache which produced daily
vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and sound

The medical professionals who examined her at the emergency room offered her little comfort or even a proper diagnosis since Kimberly could not be exposed to X-rays for the baby’s sake. Tylenol 3 with Codeine was prescribed to Kimberly for pain control and a pager monitor was strapped uncomfortably around her belly to monitor the non-stop contractions. Because the insurance did not cover overnight hospital stays for auto accidents, Kimberly was released from the emergency room still in labor and directed to call 911 if the contractions got too much for her to bear. Kimberly had huge concerns about taking heavy narcotics while she was pregnant so she suffered through all of the pain without drugs.

On Monday after the accident Kimberly made an appointment to see her medical doctor for some advice and help. Kimberly still couldn’t sit, walk, stand, sleep, or eat with out being in constant pain and misery. The prognosis was bad after the tests showed that Kimberly had lost weight after the accident due to vomiting from the migraine headaches and constant nausea. The pain in her neck, back, head, and shoulder was making Kimberly miserable and the contractions were almost unbearable. “There’s nothing else that we can do for you or the baby accept what we’ve already instructed you to do,” is what the doctor told Kimberly.

After three of the worst weeks of Kimberly’s life she decided to take matters into her own hands. After the last doctor appointment and several trips to the emergency room to stop out of control labor pains, enough was enough.

Kimberly looked for alternative types of treatments for her specific problems and was told repeatedly to stay away from Chiropractors by her medical doctors. A friend of Kimberly’s recommended that a good massage therapist could possibly work away some of her stress and discomfort.

Reluctantly, she searched the yellow pages to find a reputable massage therapist and was more than a little shocked by the variety of massages that she could try. Kimberly found a sports massage therapist located inside of a professional Chiropractor’s office and called for an appointment.

The day of the appointment arrived and Kimberly was nervous and didn’t want anything to trigger more premature labor. The massage therapist came into the room and did a quick evaluation and confirmed that Kimberly was in very bad shape. She asked for Kimberly to wait for a minute while she asked the doctor for his approval to give her a massage. Dr. Hall came in and introduced himself and asked if Kimberly minded if he took a look at her injuries before the massage.

Dr. Hall gave Kimberly a thorough examination and told her that there was a lot wrong with the way that her bones were sitting. He explained what needed to be done and how and why it would benefit Kimberly and her baby greatly. She decided that she had nothing left to lose and sat still for her first adjustment.  

Kimberly went to the Chiropractor and followed his recommendations for 3 weeks and noticed a positive difference in her migraines, neck, and back pain immediately. Kimberly began to gain weight again and the early tests showed that her baby was doing much better. Kimberly continued to see Dr. Hall until her healthy baby girl “Brynn (sounds like Lynn) Kianna” was born naturally one day before her due date.

Chiropractic care was the gentle type of care that Kimberly needed to get back on the road to recovery. After her life changing experience Kimberly was so amazed by the chiropractic profession that she dove right in and became a massage therapist and worked in a chiropractor’s office for 51/2 years. While working in the chiropractic profession, Kimberly witnessed the healing transformation of hundreds of patients. After moving to the central California coast, Kimberly began managing a chiropractic office for Dr. Scott Dubrul in San Luis Obispo .

While working with Dr. Dubrul, Kimberly learned even more about the healing philosophy of chiropractic and the true meaning of community service. Due to her effective marketing methods and passion for chiropractic, Dr. Dubrul encouraged Kimberly to start her own consulting and marketing company to help other chiropractors to reach out and help people in need.

Kimberly witnessed hundreds of healing miracle stories while working in the chiropractic field and wanted to share chiropractic with the world! ChiroWorks/866MyChiro was born in November of 1998 and Kimberly & her husband Don along with the entire ChiroWorks team have spread the healing message of chiropractic to thousands of people in need.
