Re: chiropractors..... an appology

[Guest guest]

(((Hugs))) no apologies necessary! We've all had plenty of bad

experiences with docs and chiros, etc. I had a few bad experiences

myself with chiros but I just kept on looking and I'm so glad I didn't

give up. It's like a miracle drug for me, and if I don't get my

'therapy' which to me is as necessary as food and water for my body,

then I suffer.

Same thing with medical doctors, I did stop going for a very long time

because I hated them and gave up on them after too many bad

experiences. I just assumed all medical docs were bad and just gave up

all together. But finally found one I like, two years ago. You just

have to find the one who is just right for you.

Not every chiro is going to be as fabulous as mine. I wish I could

share him with you all, he has done wonders for my body and level of

pain. Plus when my sinuses are clogged he'll try to stimulate them and

get them 'draining.' He truly has the healing touch.

My brother lives in chronic neck and back pain with chronic migraines.

He went to a chiro once and said it made him worse. Well of course it

made him feel worse, it takes several adjustments to even start to feel

better. I think with a lot of the more natural treatments like chiro

treatments, you do feel worse before you feel better. Because our

bodies have all these toxins that get released during an adjustment. It

just takes time. I had to keep going to my chiro for nearly a year

before I finally started to feel better, but that is because I hadn't

gone in over six months without it, so my spine and neck were all out of

whack. If you all could see my posture and how I sit at my computer

wrong, hunched over like, it would explain why I need to go pretty

regularly. I don't hold my head right, and that makes my alignment

off. The doc sets me right again, but then I go home and sit at my

computer wrong. So it explains why the body wants to be set right again

and again. It's like taking a daily, or weekly, medication. You don't

take one pill and then you're cured. You sometimes require a pill daily

(like my aciphex for the GERD) in order to get results and stay feeling

better. It's an ongoing thing. It's the same thing with chiropractic

adjustments. I used to think I would go in, be adjusted and then be

miraculously healed. It doesn't work that way. They help maintain a

healthy body structure so that everything else will run more smoothly.

But the way we treat our bodies today in how we sit or lack of exercise,

the foods we eat (I'm guilty) takes its toll on the structure and

spine. Plus the build up of toxins.

It releases toxins when I get an adjustment. Love that feeling!

little stereotypical for me to say that. It is just that I had a bad experience

with one years ago. I am quite sure that some of them are very good doctors.
