Sally-Ann Bryan Age 41 Support
Worker
"Doctors told me I would never lead a normal life - I
would have to have several operations by the time I was
30 and that I would never know life without pain."
My
name is Sally-Ann Bryan. I am 41 years of age and I am a support
worker. My story starts the day I was born. I was diagnosed
with Scoliosis and had to attend a London hospital for regular
check ups from birth through childhood. Doctors
told me I would never lead a normal life - I would have to
have several operations by the time I was 30 and that I would
never know life without pain.
The problem was that I was very stubborn, even as
a child. I refused to have any of the operations; I don't know
why, but there was just something inside me telling me not
to do it. As for normal, I had three children and did the same
things as any other mother. I went swimming, walking and
bike riding.
The one thing the doctors were right about was
the pain - it
was always there, night and day, but I could live with that
because I had never known anything else. After 36 years ,
the hospital told me there was nothing more they could do
for me unless I had an operation. I never went back and they
never asked to see me again . The older I got, the
worse the pain got. The pain got so bad I starting sleeping
on the sofa at night so as not to disturb my husband. I took
pain-killers, but they never helped. I stopped swimming,
walking and bike riding because of the pain. I started putting
on weight, my health was deteriorating and I had developed
a hiatus hernia, which made me vomit blood. I literally chewed
on 'Rennie' constantly, having anywhere between 20-30 per
day. My GP also gave me pills for this, which he said I would
have to take for life. Each time I picked my pills
up they came with a warning that they should not be taken
regularly because they can cause harm and damage to my internal
organs .
I suffered from asthma and was on steroids
for this. Life was starting to look bleak for me until I saw
an advert in the local paper. Dr Christian was offering the
opportunity for a free assessments at the Ideal Spine Centre.
(What had I got to lose?) The first thing I notice about Dr
Christian was his welcoming and big cheeky grin, and then,
it was how healthy he looked. Dr Christian was full of confidence
and he truly believed in what he was telling me. At the end
of my x-ray report, he said I had 7 subluxations, something
I had never heard of until that day. After looking
at some charts and listening to Dr Christian I could see
that the subluxation could be the cause of my aliments and
my deteriorating health.
He made no promises but said
he could help. Three months on and life has already changed.
I only take one of my nasty and life-threatening pills instead
of two. I would, in time, like to come off the pills but Dr
Christian has said 'small
steps'. I have come off all the steroids for my asthma and
the nurse has told me I now have the lungs of a 26 year old.
I no longer chew on Rennie. So, if I was to look at my situation
now compared to four months ago, I have not taken the usual
3,600 Rennie, taken 120 less organ damaging tablets and not
any of the daily steroids. (Health is now occurring from
within!). With the help of the health workshops on Wednesday
evenings I have also lost 1½ stone and I have started
swimming, walking and bike riding again. I don't think I
have ever felt this good.
As for the pain, well its better! I don't sleep
on the sofa any more and I don't cry myself to sleep at
night. Thanks to Dr Christian I have got my life back .
I tell all my friends and family about Dr Christian and
anyone else who will listen. As for this staff, they are
great! They are always kind and helpful and always have
time to listen to me, and I know anything I tell them is
in confidence.

Dr Christian's expertise, please don't hesitate to tell
them about the amazing things that occur at the Ideal Spine
Centre. That is why we always help to spread the word by
helping with leaflets and flyers.plus it makes for great

I am having my whole family checked for subluxation.
