Earlier this season, we interviewed Dr. Maggie Benham from Chosen Spot Chiropractic Care, and then we did something unexpected…we booked appointments ourselves.

In this follow-up episode, we’re sharing our real experiences with upper cervical chiropractic care, muscle testing, and CBCT (Cone Beam CT) imaging…and how it connects to chronic illness, vagus nerve function, swallowing issues, and nervous system regulation.

We talk about:

• What our first chiropractic appointments were actually like

• The muscle testing that left us speechless

• Why we chose to get CBCT 3D imaging

• What our scans revealed

• How this relates to vagus nerve dysfunction, swallowing issues, motility problems, and chronic illness

• Why this felt validating…not scary

This isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s about understanding structure, supporting nervous system communication, and breaking chronic patterns from a place of empowerment.

As always, this is our lived experience, not medical advice, ust two women navigating complex health out loud.
