Case 2Being of sound mind, I (name omitted) wish to leave my daughter and son all I own, to be distributed equally." This was my patient's Last Will and Testament which she had written a few days before she came to see me at her daughter's request. She had severe back pain. In addition, every August, ever since she could remember, she would develop Asthma for 1 month, followed by three months of Bronchitis, followed by 1 month of Pneumonia at which time she would end up in the hospital. To my patient, "Death" seemed more attractive. This was a 54-year-old woman who had not worked for 2 years because of severe joint pain, extreme catarrhal (mucus) condition, and obesity. It was mid-July when she first came to see me. Her treatments consisted of chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy and nutritional modification and supplementation. The chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy helped to mobilize her joints, ridded the spine of toxic fluids which brought the pain, increased circulation to the joints, and remodeled the tissues, in this way diminishing reoccurrence. The nutritional modification and supplementation ridded the body from her severe catarrhal condition. That year, for the first time in years, she was able to enjoy a fall and winter free of Asthma, Bronchitis, and Pneumonia. When August came, she only developed the sniffles, which soon waned away as she continued her individualized treatments. She now enjoys a body free from aches and pains, lost 45 lb. in 4 months and she started her own business baby-sitting children at her home. Oh, her eyesight got better too. This was a bonus, completely unexpected.
Do you know that 8 out of every 10 people in the United States suffer from back pain? The U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy and Research reviewed 3,900 studies on acute low back pain. Bed rest was rejected, as well as injections into the back, and all oral prescription drugs such as antidepressants or steroids and surgery (except in rare cases). Yet, they found that spinal manipulation, which is usually performed by a Chiropractor, can be helpful for patients with acute low back problems1. Chronic low back pain is also helped by Chiropractic, as reported in the study made and published in the medical journal, Spine. 1Christopher Connell, "Back Pain," The Associated Press, December 8, 1994 | ||||
