Drs. David and Jennifer Cretsinger
Amherst, New Hampshire
We all ponder the "what ifs" of life. We all got a few.million scenarios
that we wonder what the out come would be if we hd chosen
that other road. Myself. I got a few kabillion (give or take
by five). My biggest what if, those two life-changing days
had never happened. What if I had never hurt my neck as a kid?
What if I had gone with gut instinct and done the safe thing and not gone
out that day? What if I had gotten chiropractic care directly and not years
later? What if? What if? What if?
What brought me here; unfortunately, was
a last ditch effort. If this didn't work, nothing was going
to work. Drugs do nothing but knock me out and make me sick.
The shots were only a week long reprieve. My problem..busted my neck as
a kid. Something I have learned to live with for..21 years. And then my
newest medical dilemma was getting hurt on the job a few years
ago that has resulted in knee surgery and back/hip issues.
What gets me
with my job injury is that I went through surgery, several
hours of physical and all this various voodoo medicine and it was all about
what the insurance company would pay for. But they would not pay for a
healthy natural solution. And yet this solution; in the long run has been
cheaper, healthier and definitely has had positive results. Go figure.
I'm
young, I'll out right admit my age as 31. My husband and I
have talked about having more children but with that comes health issues.
This young 31 year old with hip/back issues.can she physically carry
a pregnancy? Once again, what if? In the year and a half I
have been coming here; I have seen a miracle. The 21 year old
neck injury was getting corrected. Never did I think I would see an x-ray
of my neck with the curve going in the right way!
Also with a little weight
loss and chiropractic help I had a baby boy a few days ago. Now the miracle
here is that my greatest fear was back and hop troubles; both during pregnancy
and labor. Well I had my prego discomfort, who doesn't! But when it came
to labor..Nadda! And I mean nothing! Not even back labor.it was truly a
MIRACLE! And even my OB was surprised with my history that
I was on my feet with no problems hours later.
And all I can do is sit here;
comfortably mind you, with my third child and point a finger
at Drs. Dave and Jen. If it wasn't for them, there wouldn't
be this little miracle in my arms. So back to the "what ifs". Well if I
didn't take this last road that ended up leading to a better,
healthier road; I'd be bent over in pain and popping pills. I will admit
I have my days when I have to take a pill because I can't sleep or I did
something stupid and I'm paying the price for it. But in the long run (year
and a half worth), never did I think I would be where I am today physically
and mentally.
I have set my goals and even met a few. This spring my hubby
and I are going to work on our weight together. And my biggest
hope is to find a job again. I haven't worked in 5 years because of the
limitations.
Just got to remember it is baby steps. Like chiropractics,
it takes time!
