Walnut Creek Chiropractor Is Awed By The Power Of Chiropractic
ByIt may not surprise you that chiropractors like me, your Walnut Creek chiropractor, have a superior reputation when it comes to eliminating back pain. This is due to the fact that chiropractors are highly experienced when it comes to the spine. In fact, the word “chiropractor” and “spine” are almost synonymous! Anyone who’s ever suffered from back pain — be it mild, moderate, or severe — who has chosen chiropractic treatment — whether from a chiropractor in Walnut Creek or anywhere else in the world where chiropractic treatment is available — has discovered the power of this superior non-invasive, drug-free treatment for relieving back pain. It goes without saying that, in addition, since chiropractors are also experts when it comes to treating the rest of the musculoskeletal system, chiropractic care can frequently eliminate neck pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, hip pain, knee pain, and ankle pain. Chiropractic treatment can also give relief from conditions like stress headaches, migraines, carpal tunnel, and plantar fascitis. The healing capabilities of chiropractic are numerous!
There are moments, even for chiropractors, the potency of chiropractic treatment and its capacity to help people get rid of pain and get their life back again can seem, well, almost miraculous. When I hear from chiropractic patients who’ve not only experienced pain relief through chiropractic care, but also more life and energy, stress reduction and relaxation, and a greater ability to get a good night’s sleep, I feel gratified.
Still, a research article I read recently in the scientific periodical, Journal of Pediatric, Maternal and Family Health, brought tears to my eyes (and I’m generally a pretty macho guy!). The research detailed the case of a severely disabled sixteen year old girl suffering from Cerebral Palsy with muscle spasticity and sleep disturbances. Her family was most distressed about her inability to sleep through the night. To compound the young girl’s condition,when she was seven years old, surgeons fused metal rods in her spine, from neck to base.
The mother of the girl hoped that chiropractic treatment could correct her daughter’s spinal misalignments and relieve her all too frequent severe pain. One can only imagine that the examination was difficult. But the chiropractor was able to ascertain that there were several subluxations that could be safely adjusted. The chiropractor treated the girl twice per week. The girl was sleeping through the night after just six adjustments. A measurable improvement in her muscle spasticity was found by her ninth visit.
Though full recovery was not expected, “the patient and her family were able to return to a normal sleep schedule as well as enjoy improved quality of life,” the research authors noted.
“Improved quality of life.” Who could ask for more from treatment? No one! But, let me tell you, more chiropractors experience just that with their patients than medical doctors do.
