Chiropractors / spinal specialists australia
Dr.
Hakan Bilal of St Albans in the state Victoria,
Australia
About four years ago, I'd hurt my back at work. I went to the
doctor who'd then referred me to a physiotherapist. I was treated
for about six months, after which I was told that my back was
in good condition again. I was young and didn't know any better.
So for me, this diagnosis was good news, and at this stage
the treatment ended.
A few years later, sometime in November 2005 I woke up early one morning with
back pains I could no longer bear. I knew that I had to do something about it.
This had been a regular occurrence for weeks if not months prior. My sleeping
patterns had become irregular and I started walking awkwardly. The pain had become
so severe that I contemplated on quitting my job, which I believed was encouraging
the pain. I decided that I wasn't going to let my back pains dictate my way of
life any longer. So I picked the phone book and dialled the number of the nearest
chiropractor to me. This is how I stumbled across Health Wise Chiropractic.
Not knowing what to expect, I was a bit nervous because all I knew about chiropractors
is that they "crack backs". My first consultation was indeed different to that
of a General Practitioner. I was given a tour of the centre, which was in fact
very insightful, since I obviously didn't know much about Chiropractic care.
After the tour, Dr Bilal made the time to find out what may have caused my back
pains and took some x-rays. By this stage I felt quite comfortable, as I was
glad that someone actually understood the extent of my back pains. By our next
consultation, Dr Bilal explained to me in detail exactly what was wrong with
my spine. He explained that the pains were a result of subluxation on my spine,
my neck wasn't curved as much as it should be and my right hip is higher than
my left, thus my walking awkwardly. It was then that I decided to continue with
Chiropractic care.
It was been six months now that I've been going to the Chiropractor on a regular
basis, as well as doing daily exercise and tractioning. I must say it has been
the best decision I've ever made. As a result, I find that I'm sleeping better
and walking better. I have more energy and my job is no longer affecting me.
Most of all my back pains have been relieved. And to prove that the Chiropractor
can really make a difference, a couple of months later, I had a further x-ray
on my neck and the good news is the curve of my neck has been corrected. Overall,
my body feels better. A huge load has been taken off my shoulders. My friends
and family have even noticed that I'm walking better than I used to, and it is
only now they realised the extent of the subluxation on my spine.
Had I not made that one phone call to Health Wise Chiropractic, I would hate
to think where I'd be now. One thing for sure, is that I would've probably been
much worse off now than when it was discovered. I believe my lifestyle wouldn't
have changed a lot.
Health Wise Chiropractic is not just a place you can get treated, it's more than
that. It's a place where I know I can get information on Chiropractic care quite
easily and if ever I have a question there is always someone that can answer
it. The staff are all very knowledgeable and most of all very friendly. Being
involved with Health Wise Chiropractic is being treated like you're part of a
family.
Thank-you
