Ever hear Rush Limbaugh say he has "Talent on loan from God"?

My chiropractors have talent on loan from God.

My NJ chiros are father and son, they fix my holy spirit :)

I went to the father first in December 1989. UP until that point I was having inner ear infections, attacks (who knew it was MS) that were very strange, and mostly in reaction to chocolate that I just didn't understand why I couldn't just sneeze like everyone else 'allergic'.

I can't tell the story of the day After my first chiro visit, but that day I was convinced.

The first time he Looked at my back, didn't even Touch me yet, he said he Thinks I was born with SBO or had something happen when I was very young. Then he touched me and showed me where it was. This was 12/89. My CT scan report in 08/02 Officially (13 years after hearing these words) with spina bifida occulta: SBO.

I had, Easily, 25-40 combinations of ear infections, otitis media, acute otitis media, double acute otitis media, and usually the antibiotics to match, from 1974-1989.

I've NEVER had another inner ear infection diagnosed or treated with antibiotics since November 1989.

I was DX with Carpal Tunnel syndrome in 1991. I mentioned the problems to my local chiro. 3 weeks later after 2 visits a week, CTS was history. In 2002 when I was having the worst attack of my life, they ran the muscle and conduction tests. They told me they had good news and bad news. The good news was they were removing CTS from my records, it was 100% healed, Both side, no trace of abnormality. The bad news was the problem I was having had to be above the neck. And so the MRI's DX me with MS shortly after.

My chiros kept me from caring what was behind all the attacks because we found the Triggers of them all, fixed them (either giving up eating/consuming what triggered it, or fixing the subluxations) and I never bothered to go to a neuro.

In 2002 when it affected my typing, even though they fixed me up, I had to know what could cause THAT!

My 3 chiros are my PCPs, I do nothing without consulting them, any time I put down a fax number, both of theirs are on the list too. They call me with results when they're available, way before my neuros. 6/21/02 I Knew the MRI said MS, 7/31 was my next neuro appt, had to wait nearly 6 weeks to find out 'for sure'.

My father/son team do different things than each other, and my local chiro has different views and methods. They've worked together on some situations, and they are so amazed at how far we've come in 18/16 years.

My chiro's son graduated chiro school at the height of my 2002 attack. He was the one to get me out of it, and then the father did something 3 days later and it was totally gone. 20 minutes after my 5/20/02 adjustment I was typing without interference and that symptom never happened again.

But ya gotta have a good relationship with them, and you have to feel Better when you leave their office. I've been to a few others to compare and see, they definitely aren't all Good.

I guess you have to find the A and B student ones LOL



but, that's just one story :) I don't think I'd be walking after some of those attacks if not for them.

Since I have litterally abused my body due to my carreer choice since 14 yrs of age. The chiropractor has been nothing new to me. In fact they have given me my ability to walk back more than once. Back then they had no idea what caused the problem, I turned to my chiropractor, the couch was driving me nuts! It ended up being the most crucial part of rehab. Since the symptoms of MS woke to a more consistent schedule, I have been going to the chiro more frequently. I have tried with and without. Found that with gives me much needed extra energy, stiffness in the mornings becomes more manageable, just overall found it easier to get going. The excruciating pain that travels from neck to the spine seems to happen a lot less often. It deffinetly has a positive effect, I guess the biggest concern with myself was finding a chiro who doesn't waste your time as well as money. I have had that in the past. My current one of the last 10 years I would say does not require me to come in day after day. I come in as I feel I need to. When working I go about every two weeks, when off once a month. A major reason for my self is Parkinson's. My core strength is just not like it should be so to avoid permanent damage I try to keep the alignment there.

chiro and pcp have done far more for me than any neuro i've seen. as far as chiro i have more energy and walk better after each visit and i go as i feel i need to
