Lower Back Pain
by Rick Gamble
"I was popping Tylenols like they were candy."
For over a year I was suffering from severe lower back pain. My pain was so bad that it was draining my energy at a very accelerated rate. It was a battle every moment of the day to concentrate. I was popping Tylenols like they were candy.
I had gone to the hospital for help, and I spent hours there waiting for an X-ray. When the X-ray was taken, I was told that they could not locate the problem. During my follow up with my family doctor, I was told that what was seen on my X-ray was "something that developed in the womb." I was not given any prescriptions, and I left feeling frustrated as I was in a great deal of pain and discomfort. With no hope for help from the hospital or my doctor, I presumed I would continue to use pain killers until the problem disabled me.
My wife's son gave me a gift card for Hardick Chiropractic Centre and I decided to come in to the office for a consultation. As I was not referred to a chiropractor by the doctors at the hospital, or by my family doctor, I was a bit sceptical at first.
Once Dr. Hardick took my X-rays, he explained to me the principles of chiropractic. I found my visit to be very educational, and a lot was revealed about the cause of my pain. My lower spine had a subluxation and it was recommended that I start treatment immediately. I listened to Dr. Hardick, and two months later, the pain has decreased, and I feel a lot less pressure in my knees when I walk. I feel better and better with every adjustment. I feel that the condition is still present, but the pain has subsided, my energy is better, and I am able to bend over instead of having to squat to pick things up.
If you are in pain or discomfort, don't ignore the warning signals in your body by covering them up with pain killers - see a chiropractor.
