Campaign Story
My name is Yashira Rodríguez Vázquez, I am 34 years old and I have been working as a personal trainer for 11 years. I was a ballet, hip hop and jazz dancer for almost 10 years. I have always been an extremely active person. For me, being a coach is a way to contribute to the health and well-being of the community. It enriches me to see my clients worrying and taking care of their well-being through physical exercise and a healthy lifestyle.
I have been a severe scoliosis patient since I was 11 years old. My spine is shaped like an “S” with 50º in its greatest curve when it should look like an “I”. These curves can cause severe problems in the short and long term, such as decreased lung capacity, acute pain, pinched nerves ... At first, my condition was treated by several orthopedists at the Medical Center. They detected the curves at 35º. I was in treatment for 2 years and they managed to stop their growth. At that time no one told us that this condition was PROGRESSIVE and that I should follow some type of treatment to keep it under control. I continued my normal life as if I did not have this condition and, as I was always active, I did not suffer from any kind of discomfort or pain. Years passed and it was not until I was 33 that I began to experience discomfort that led me to visit the Corrective Chiropractor Dr. Luis Enrique Rodríguez.
This year, my back gradually lost its mobility until I was unable to move in the trunk area. I received 15-20 electrical shocks daily that completely paralyzed me for several seconds. This prevented me from doing simple, everyday things in my daily life, like brushing my teeth or sitting down. As a coach that I have been for 11 years, they were months of great frustration. I couldn't move. It is for this reason that Dr. Luis Enrique Rodríguez recommended me an intensive treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, who has been changing lives for nearly 20 years. Tony has his Scoliosis Reduction Center in Kissimmee. The treatment that I must follow lasts 2 weeks and has an estimated cost of $10,000. This treatment will reduce my curves non-invasively. The goal will be to return them to 30º where it does not represent a long-term danger. This procedure is an alternative to surgical intervention. There is no need for a costly operation or need for screws in the vertebrae when there are other ways to help the body with spinal correction without causing trauma.
With the support of all of you, I will achieve the financial goal necessary to defray the expenses of this process and improve my quality of life. There is nothing like a very small contribution; any help will be more than welcome. Thank you for being part of this effort!
