I was told: "I
had arthritis and my back was worn out, my nerves weren't affected
and to come back if things got worse, It was all in my mind"
June 1997 : I really hurt my back by twisting
round whilst carrying heavy shopping. The doctors I saw said
I just had inflammation and I had to take ibuprofen. This
didn't help so I visited an osteopath and was told that my
back had 'locked up'. By 2001, I started to suffer quite
frequent bouts of pain, so decided to see a Specialist at
Blackheath. The result of an x-ray & MRI scan showed
that I had "arthritis and my back was worn out". He recommended
physiotherapy and not to overdo things. I went to see a Back
Specialist at the Kent & Canterbury at the end of the
year but he just said that my nerves weren't affected and
to come back if things got worse. At this time I had to stop
driving.
During 2002 my symptoms gradually got worse. My doctor told
me that it's not really worth seeing a Specialist as they
wouldn't be able to help me! I also saw a manipulative physiotherapist
in Harley Street and was given more exercises to strengthen
my back. In January 2003, my husband drove me to Birmingham
to see another Specialist. His verdict was, what I was feeling must
be all in my mind! He recommended anti-depressants.
In
July 2003, we saw a Pain Specialist at the Chaucer Hospital.
He promised me that there was absolutely nothing
wrong with my back and I couldn't possibly hurt
it anymore by leading a normal life. At this point I
accepted that nothing more could be done and that this
was how my life would always be. I felt disabled. But
actually, as it turned out, fate had other ideas.
We came across
The Ideal Spine Centre, which was, amazingly, just five minutes
down the road from our home. So I visited the Ideal Spine Centre.
After just one visit and x-rays it was revealed that I had
seven subluxations, which were, thankfully, still reversible.
I started having spinal adjustments straight away. After just
a short time, I was like a different person and enjoying life.
I was able to buy a new car and started driving again. Christmas
will never be the same again.I could now pick up and nurse
my newly born grandchildren.
Two years later, I'm still enjoying
the many benefits of getting regularly adjusted and now healthier
than ever. I now attend a local gym twice a week and I can
drive everywhere. I
now realise that, before coming to the Ideal Spine Centre,
I had forgotten what it was like to feel great!!
