I came into Health In Hands because I had
severe back pain. A short spell of digging in the garden
would leave me in agony, barely able to walk. I had been
to two doctors who both told me it was caused by osteo-arthritis
and disk wear. As I was 57 years old the doctors told me
my pain was something I should "accept and expect".
All they could offer were some exercises and medication.
Because of the pain I was reluctant to undertake anything
strenuous and had to take painkillers fairly often.
So I
came to Grant and April and Health In Hands. They explained
that, unlike most other chiropractors, they don't offer a
quick fix treatment for the immediate pain. They treat the
cause rather than the symptoms. They determine the condition
and alignment of your spine and then, over a period of time,
use adjustments and exercises to return it to optimal alignment.
Initially I was fairly skeptical that a chiropractor could
fix a problem if the medical profession couldn't. Grant and
April took x-rays and were able to show me my problems and
told me how they could fix them.
They couldn't make my back
new again, but by correcting the misalignment of my spine,
the source of the pain would be removed. When the pressure
was eased on the spinal cord there would be other health
benefits as well, such as a general feeling of "wellness".
I started at 5 adjustments each week but because of the pain
in my back, my initial adjustments were fairly gentle. After
the first week, the pain gradually eased. These adjustments,
combined with an education program on correct posture, lifting
methods etc allowed me to do many of the things I hadn't
been game to do for some time. And no painkillers!
Because
of the regular treatment and the education workshops run
by Health In Hands, I am constantly aware of my posture now.
I don't slouch in the lounge chair, and try to always lift
things correctly. I have been given specific exercises to
correct my spine's alignment. As my back got closer to the
optimum alignment I went from five adjustments a week down
to three. At present I am on two, and soon one per week.
After a couple of months of treatment my back was so improved, I felt confident enough to accept a job requiring a large amount of physical exertion, something I wouldn't have been able to do before Health In Hands. I have been in my job for two months now without any problems. My treatment at Health In Hands has allowed me to go from hobbling around in pain, to full and useful employment. April and Grant have fixed the problems caused by 57 years of use and abuse!
My Sincere Thanks
Doug
