McGarry Family Chiropractic - Winchester, MA

A couple years ago, I started seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis. I'd been having some pretty regular shoulder and neck pain for a few years, and decided it was time to do something about it. Turns out, carrying heavy camera equipment on my back and holding a camera to my face and a flash over my head for hours at a time, is not so good for my spine. Like many people, I was really skeptical of chiropractic even though lots of photographers had told me it had really helped them. Dr. Lieschen McGarry had become a friend through church, and so I figured I'd give it a try since she was someone I felt really comfortable with and could trust. She explained to me that when your spine is out of line (subluxation), it can disrupt the nerves sending signals to your whole body, which can lead not just to pain but to all sorts of health issues. She also showed me how when your spine is out of line for an extended period of time, it can cause structural damage as well (subluxation degeneration). Looking at my x-ray was a little scary (apparently I have the spine of a 40-year old), so I started going for adjustments on a regular basis, and still do. And it's really helped!

So, when Lieschen told me she was working on a new website for the office and needed some photographs, I was thrilled to work with her on them!

We started out with some headshots...

A big part of Dr. McGarry's practice, is working with families and children. A lot of people freak out at the idea of adjusting children, but she's incredibly gentle. We photographed her adjusting some babies and kids, so people could see what that looks like.

Thanks Lieschen for such a fun and different shoot! And thank you especially for all the care you've given me over the last couple years! I don't know how I'd make it through a wedding season without you :)
