Improvements already

Posted on September 27th, 2008

I have been in Chiropractic treatment with Dr. Mike for less than a month and I am already seeing results. If only I had known about him many years ago.
In the past thirteen years, I have been in Chronic Pain due to a head injury.
Yes, a lovely 20 lb box fell on my head. It has caused anywhere from back pain, neck pain, muscle spasms, fibromyalgia, TMJ jaw disorder, ongoing chronic pain etc… I guess you can say that every part of my body hurts; oh wait, my big toe doesn’t hurt, so I’m good.
For many years, my second home has been doctors offices or medical clinics. I have seen more doctors and specialists than I care to admit.
I have been through every kind of treatment out there: from trigger point injections, ultrasounds, TMJ realignment with braces and mouth splints, have had cortisone shots, wellness shots, physical therapy many times, jaw procedures, medications, and Electric stimulation (which I call the Electric shock treatment). I have had some kind of trigger point injections in my head. There is nothing like having injections in the head. It feels like I can hear my skull crushing as the needle invades my head. Last year, I even tried the acupuncture. It did not work for me; it caused more muscle spasms that shot throughout my body and lasted for three days. So yes, I have had every kind of treatment out there without surgery.

Everything I have tried, did not work or was temporary. One of my doctors is going to schedule me for another arthrocentesis (jaw procedure) but I am going to have to decline. Dr. Mike has been working on my jaw for a few weeks and I already see improvements. So bye bye other doctors. I also am seeing improvements on my neck and back. I have even noticed that I am able to move my neck easier and it feels so much better. After every adjustment, I feel so much free-er (if that’s a word.)

I also appreciate the hospitality of Dr. Mike and his staff. Okay I am done for now. Maybe more to come later.
