Our story

Hi! I'm Dr. Olga Schwend, this is my family: my mom, my daughter Claire, my dad, my daughter Amelia and me. The reason I am sharing this picture with you is very important.

Here is something that the community here int he Irmo, SC area may not know about us. Our family first discovered chiropractic because of my mother. While growing up my mother was the the third out of five children, she was the sickly child, constantly having stomach pain, vomiting and general malaise. At the age of 15 years old my mother was taken to a specialist who told my grandmother that she would be in a wheel chair at about 45 years old. She was constantly hurting, she was never good with sports or any physical activity.

Later on she was diagnosed with Benign Congenital Hypermobility, she suffered many injuries including dislocation of her patella, bursitis among others. At the age of around 30 years old my mom had a hunch back and she barely could move. She had constant migraines, her whole body ached, she was in so much pain when a friend suggested chiropractic care. My parents were apprehensive at first but given the fact that there was no other hope they decided to go. It was then when our lives changed forever. Little by little my mom got better and better. The chiropractor suggested diet changes, lifestyle changes and chiropractic adjustments; my mom followed every recommendation and kept getting better. When I was born she was instructed never to carry me or hold me because her hands were not strong enough to hold a baby, I was a momma's child and was held until my mom could no longer lift me up at around 10 years old. My mom is such a vivid examples of the work chiropractic can do. She is now 64 years old and well able to walk and enjoy her granddaughters. This picture shows us in a big sunflowers field spending time together. I could not imagine what my adult life would be like today if chiropractic would have helped her in time. We are so grateful for chiropractic that both my sister and I became Doctors of Chiropractic. It is an amazing experience to serve others and helped them achieve their maximum potential in life.

If you or your family is experiencing pain that you are not able to resolve please call us!
