Does Chiropractic Even Do Anything…???

Charlie was in her early seventies. She had never been to a chiropractor before and was very skeptical, but was referred to us by another patient whom she esteems so she made an appointment. Does chiropractic even do anything? She wondered. She knew her back wasn’t good and had severe back issues and difficulties with her legs, making it hard to get through the day. She walked slowly and with an antalgic posture, slumped forward. Her legs were swollen and painful. Her back hurt. She pushed through the pain every day.

After discussing with Charlie what she was dealing with and getting an understanding of her situation and health, we performed a spinal examination, postural evaluation, and got the pictures that we needed from our digital X-ray system to take the guess work out. We knew exactly where the problem areas were in her spine and discussed what we could do to correct her spine, what that might look like, approximately how much time that would take, and let her know what that would cost.

Along with corrective spinal care in our office, she was receiving BEMER treatments to improve the microcirculation in her legs. This increases oxygen and nutrients in the bloodstream so that the muscles and tissues can receive what they need. Specific supplements were recommended as well as some postural exercises. Charlie is so thrilled now! She knows she is standing straighter. She can walk longer and the edema in her legs is much improved as well. She can get through each day much better and her back doesn’t bother nearly as much as before!

How you age largely depends on what you do and what you eat, not just your genetics. Even though Charlie didn’t know anything about chiropractic or if it could help her, she took the advice from someone she knew and trusted and stepped out of her comfort zone to go to a doctor whom was recommended to her to see if there was anything that could be done to help her.

She has learned first-hand that we take a whole-body approach to health and the causes of dis-ease. She has learned so much about her body, good health practices, good nutrition, nutrients and supplements, spinal and postural exercises along with her spinal adjustments, spinal corrective care, and even specific therapies like the painless BEMER (Bio Electro Magnetic Energy Regulation) treatment. She wants to tell everyone not to be skeptical of chiropractic because her body and life are better because of it!
