Chiropractic care - Testimonials
An accident led me to chiropractic ... I looked like the Hunchback of Notre Dame!
by Deb Sharp
After an accident, I looked like the Hunchback of Notre Dame! My legs were numb, and unable to hold my upper body. I was told that I must completely avoid bending and lifting, and I was in a great deal of pain just to stand, sit or walk. I was told to prepare to be in a wheelchair within a few months, for life! I was suggested that if I stayed on the couch and did absolutely nothing approximately two years, it might help me. I was even told by one doctor that the pain, and deformation was caused by past psychological traumas.
I went to a total seven doctors in three cities, including orthopedic surgeons, and even a neuro specialist. No one could find what was really wrong with me. Four months after the accident I was told to give up my nursing career. I took daily pain medications with no relief, and finally, I was told to accept that I would never be normal again.
My friend and new boss urged me to visit a chiropractor, and made the appointment for me to see
Dr. Hardick. It was like a miracle! After one adjustment, I was in no pain, and I was able to stand straight for the first time in 2½ years.
I am back to leading a very active and full life, doing all activities with my kids that I was able to do before the accident. I am also back to enjoying all of my own favourite hobbies including golfing, camping, walking, swimming, skating, and hiking, just to name a few.
I have improved 110%. I have no pain since I have been under chiropractic care, and I have discontinued taking any pain medications. I am back to working almost full time as a nurse and a support worker.
If I could encourage others, I would say, "Never lose hope. Chiropractic has the answer!"
