"I played football in high school and at Illinois State. I had back & shoulder problems ever since. I tried e-stim, ultrasound, ice, lent, ibuprofen, and Flexerall. They didn’t provide the relief I needed. I was in good shape, yet my back, shoulder, and now knees were giving me chronic..."
AFTER THE FIRST FEW ADJUSTMENTS I COULD FEEL A TREMENDOUS RELIEF
Years ago I was referred to a neurologist because of headaches, numbness in my arm, and a pullings sensation in my face- all on the left side. I underwent a series of tests to determine the source. Heart attack, stroke, Bell's palsy, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis were ruled out, and the diagnosis was, by elimination, migraine headaches. I have taken a migraine preventative medication for over 10 years, with some success.
Over the past several years, however, I also developed further pain in the left side of my neck as well as dizziness and nausea whenever whenever I tilted my head back. It became impossible to do any tasks above eye level. Painting a wall or ceiling was out of the question. Even lying back on the sink at the hairdresser was distressing.
I was very upset and depressed because of these limitations. Plus, losing valuable time from my life lying on the couch not feeling well was taking its toll.
A friend recommended the chiropractic services at AlignLife, so as a last resort, I decided to give it a try. I explained my symptoms to the doctors at AlignLife and they set to work. The initial x-rays showed that I had scoliosis of the spine in the lower back and the curve at the neck of my spine was nonexistent. We talked about posture: I knew that my shoulders were rounded and that I didn't stand up straight, but I had no idea that I was jutting my head forward, which not only looked terrible, but was causing immense strain on my neck.
After the first few adjustments, I could feel a tremendous relief.
I am now doing simple daily exercies to strenghten my neck and am making a conscious effort to stand more erect and to keep my head up and back, where it is supposed to be. I can't say that I now have the posture of a model, but I surely have improved my appearance and my outlook from such a simple good habit.
The regular adjustments have nearly eliminated the neck pain, and the headaches are less frequent, less intense and manageable. I don't spend time on the couch nursing a sick headache anymore.
I intend to stay on a program of regular adjustments and consultation. I have grown accustomed to hiring a painter, so I doubt if I ever paint a room again, but I can at least dust the ceiling fans, look at the stars at night, and go to the hairdresser without discomfort.
