Just because it didn’t work for you doesn’t mean it is BS.

Up until the age of 35, I suffered from severe, incapacitating back pain that would render me incapable of even getting out of bed to go to the bathroom.

I would be bedridden for 3-4 days, then walk around gingerly for another couple weeks, then be back to just back pain. Then, unpredictably, the pain would start again.

I did all the things the medical community (of which I am a part of) prescribed, from muscle relaxers and pain-killers to special exercises and rehab regimens, and nothing worked.

Out of desperation, my wife convinced me to go to a Chiropractor. I didn’t think it would help, but I was out of options. So I went. That was 35 years ago.

It changed my life. Since then, I have been able to live what is nearly a normal life because of Chiropractic.

Just because it doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean it can’t help millions of other people.

When my husband had his injury and I suggested a chiropractor, he was resistant. I think he had the idea that it was some vague, ‘quacky’ thing.

But after he’d been a couple of times, he swore by it. Since I began using chiropractors in the 1970s, they have new techniques and some amazing new machinery. I think chiropractic is only improving.

(I remember one orthopedist I saw who tried to rush me into surgery, saying that if I didn’t allow him to operate, I’d be back in a year ‘begging for it’. That was 35 years ago :-)
