Pain to Passion
Wendy I., staff member and patient, writes her chiropractic
testimony.
At 18 years of age I was rear-ended at a stop.
The person who hit me was going approximately 50 M.P.H. at
impact. I was the passenger in my vehicle and didn't see
it coming. I was not braced for the impact and I wasn't wearing
a seatbelt, needless to say I hit the windshield and dashboard
very hard. By some miracle, I was only dazed and still in
one piece (So I thought).
I went to the emergency room later
that day and was x-rayed. According to the doctors there,
I had no injury other than muscular strain and they gave
me painkillers to treat that. A few days later I had become
very sore and was suffering a terrible headache that wouldn't
go away. Someone suggested to me I see a chiropractor, uncertain
and doubtful I went and he diagnosed me with whiplash. I
received my first adjustment that day and I felt much better.
I didn't understand what had happened, all I knew was I felt
better.
Unfortunately, he failed to educate me on my experience
and he failed to invite me back. Knowing nothing about chiropractic,
I thought my treatment was over and I never returned. And
it goes without saying, my pain certainly returned. I learned
to live with it. I suffered with severe pain in the base
of my neck, daily headaches, tingling in my arms and numbness
in my fingertips. I lived with it for 14 years. It was progressively
getting worse. My list of body signals was growing rapidly,
I felt like I was getting old before my time.
At the age
of 32, I was waiting tables for a living with no ambition
in life other than to earn a living for my daughter and myself.
All I did was work and hurt. I never felt like doing anything
else. I was miserable inside, but I must have hid my pain
well because one day Dr. Gammel and Dr. Muhr offered me the
opportunity of a lifetime. They offered me a position in
their office and chance to earn certification in x-ray.
What
a blessing!!! I knew nothing about chiropractic!! I had no
idea what I was getting myself into and getting myself out
of. I dove in headfirst. I loved the education I was receiving.
I wanted to soak up chiropractic like a sponge, it became
a passion. I naturally started chiropractic care. Dr. Muhr
detected my subluxations and started removing interferences
in my nervous system. Things started changing. I stopped
hurting, I was sleeping better, I was loaded with energy,
I was functioning mentally on a level I never knew existed
in me, I could go on and on about the benefits.
My daughter
also receives care. To see her be adjusted is such a blessing.
I get cold chills when I watch Dr. Muhr adjust her spine,
because I understand what it is doing for her entire being.
Thanks to Dr. Muhr and Dr. Gammel, health and wellbeing are
a part of me and mine.
