1. The approximate onset of chiropractic care:
October 18, 2011
2. The problems, symptoms or ailments you were troubled with prior to chiropractic care:
Problems originating from “L4 + L5” in the lower back, radiating in the groin and resulting in excruciating pain causing the mere act of walking to be horrible and sometimes impossible.
3. The number of weeks, months or years you had these problems:
Since August 2011
4. The number of doctors seen and the type of drugs taken (if any) for these problems:
No drugs because the pain was so acute I knew I would become addicted. I had seen chiropractors in the past, for maintenance and knew this would be the answer to my problem.
5. The extent to which your normal life was interrupted due to these health problems:
Fortunately I am retired so I could devote my entire life nursing my ailment and I was considering a future in a wheelchair.
6. The length of treatment in visits or time before the results of chiropractic care became apparent:
At the end of three weeks, I started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and more than only solving the current problem, it also improved my gait that had always been suffering from a slight limp.
7. Your impression of the general health benefits of chiropractic care and specifically, how it helped you.
I used to feel like Atlas: Bearing the weight of the world on my shoulders; now I am a senior citizen who runs after buses.
F.R.
