I do not suffer from Diabete...Wonderful rebuttal! I do not suffer from Diabetes or Neuropathy. I have however, beat myself up at a relatively young age with manual labor. When I do something, I give 100%. This has led to a Lot of pain and discomfort. I have never felt that I was treated properly by any Dr. They want to give pills to manage symptoms, not help you heal. When I was suffering debilitating headaches...so bad that I was in tears while working, a friend reccomended I see a chiropractor. I was under the same impression, the impression given to me by my Dad, really, about the shady-ness of chiropractors. But I was desperate. I thought I was suffering from stress migraines. Well, one visit changed my whole perspective. I went in after a WEEK of suffering. a WEEK. Not much compared to your experience, but enough to make me eternally grateful for the INSTANT relief I experienced. What I LOVED immediately, was that she gave me INFORMATION of what was really going on with my body. That dehydration, and repetitive motions were pulling me out of alignment. She suggested WATER, Stretching, and massage. She wanted me to be BETTER. She did not schedule a myriad of followup treatments. She said to come see her as I NEEDED her, trusted that I was intelligent enough to listen to my body in the future. She wasn't trying to ring my bank account dry. She was trying to Heal me. I have since been treated for tendonitis. One visit. And for that, She suggested some VERY cheap remedies, like a parafin hand bath at the salon to help soothe the pain. That did not make HER any money. I went in several months ago when I couldn't raise my arm, my shoulder was angry and out of wack. I couldn;t brush my teeth with that arm. She adjusted me, and I instantly regained full range of motion. WEll, I have oeverworked myself again, and I have issues with the Other shoulder now. I know that when I call her later today, that she will squeeze me in as SOON as possibly possible. And when I leave, I will feel 100 times better than I do right now. She encouraged ME to persue a career in wellness, because our medical system is failing people. I am currently enrolled in a health coaching program, something that does not benefit HER in any way. I am very blessed to know such a kindhearted HEALER. I feel accurate using that phrase. I have never thought to call a Dr. a Healer. That statement alone sums up my experience with Chiropractic care!
