Magdalene
Chiropractic Assistant
Prior to coming to work at Adjusted Life Chiropractic, Magdalene did not know much about chiropractic work or the health benefits regular adjustments could have. Like many others, she believed that chiropractic care was mainly for those who were experiencing pain and wanted relief from it. Through working at ALC, she learned that there are a multitude of health benefits that come with regular spinal adjustments and she has been able to see a variety of amazing positive health changes in our practice members. Another awesome treatment that Dr. Coty offers here at ALC is the testing and treating of primitive reflexes through functional neurology. While his focus is typically with children/adolescents, he will test and treat patients of all ages in this area. Magdalene was one of the adult patients he has treated and benefits from the treatment to this day. When she began working at ALC, Dr. Coty tested her primitive reflexes and discovered that her Moro, or startle, reflex was not suppressed which can cause a slew of health complications that she was unaware of solutions for, or had written off. Thankfully, through her work here, she has been able to suppress that reflex which has helped her focus, anxiety, and other issues she was experiencing.
When she’s not at the office helping our wonderful practice members, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, having good food and even better conversation, attending and volunteering at her church, and nearly anything outdoor activity related!
