It is sad that when we get older, more health issues seem to creep up on us.

I too have had some of the health concerns on your list.
I am a 54 yr old female that about two years ago had enough. Had enough with drs and started looking into what can I do for me.

Found that with researching and talking with a very good friend of mine that she suggested a Upper Cervical Chiropractor that can also adjust the rest of my body.

Our spine is a miraculous thing. But everyday life can put stresses on it.
The spine is connected to many parts that help our body do what it does.
Muscles, ligaments, nerves all serve a purpose and in turn our nerves supply many of our organs too.

When your spine is out of alignment it can cause all kinds of problems.
Think of it as a hose, when you step on a hose it cuts off the water supply.

Your spine is the same way. One misalignment and it can trickle down to even a simple pinch nerve.

I am no dr and don't claim to be, but with my past experience with the medical field, all they want to do is give you a pill or do surgery.

I have found that after talking with a chiropractor about my medical issues, I found that after one adjustment, I felt results. Not big results but one little one. Then when I went back two weeks later, I found that with another adjustment, I felt even better. I took less meds. They gave me a exercise regime that worked for me. I changed my bad ways of soda to water, cut out alot of sugars especially sucralose, and found that in one month, I was feeling like my old self again.

I have been going to the chiropractor for two years now and I have never been better. Yes, I do have some health issues that they can't cure.

I have arthritis in my neck and lumbar spine, have had carpal tunnel, thyroidism, they even thought I had a heart attack. NOT

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE ... look into seeing a chiropractor. Talk with them, read up on the practice here online. Talk with others who have gone to them. Check them out ... You will find that they can help you MORE than any MD can.

My chiropractor saved me. I no longer take narcotics, maybe an occasional aleve. They saved my life .. let them save you!

God Bless you and you are in my prayers!
Thank you. I don't mean to come here and whine, that's wasn't my intentions at all. I just want to find out what is really going on with me. As you've said, it appears every time I go to the doctors there are more problems or more medicines. I have gone into my GP's office and gave them my list of medicines and asked which ones if I didn't take would kill me. Then they proceed to tell me why I need the medications. Gawd!

The pain management doctor does alignments on me and he does the trigger point injections. I've been going to him for two years now and yet, still keep getting more and more things going downhill. I do appreciate your response and advice. I have been wanting to go back to the chiropractor to get those myofascial release thingys...OMG heaven! That was the only thing I enjoyed at the chiropractor.

Years back I had an evaluation with a Neuro-surgeon and at that time he told me that due to the spinal degeneration and disc disease that eventually I would have to have a ACDF which was said to be a cervical spine surgery. I've been trying avoid that. I took it with a grain of salt since back in 1999 another doctor that did knee surgery told me I'd be in a wheelchair in five years give or take. I refused and by the grace of God, I've not gotten there yet. Canes and walkers, yes, but no wheelchair hopefully. Plus my dog is too little to do my chores for me so I have to stay mobile!!!!

Thank you again and may God bless you dearly.
