Case of the Month - August

Victor

After a very decent athletic career since I was young and up to know, I had been under several medical
treatments in a span of nearly 36 years; acupuncture, shiatsu, Rolfing, massage therapies, pain treatment with
injections to the spine (epidurals) and also shots direct to the area of pain….I mean, you name it, I have done
it…except for surgery and that was a close call, I almost did it…thank GOD I didn’t.

Nothing really worked in the long run. Then I heard my future chiropractor on the radio and found his
office…this was different and I was excited. The plan seemed reasonably logical and well planned so I decided
to do it.

To those who have paid some attention, they may have seen me there with a cane and many times leaning over
on one side as if my shock absorbers were gone. I was distressed and sometimes I have even cried because of
the pain. There have been many nights and days where there wasn’t enough ice in the freezer for me to use.
There have been many instances where I also doubt or didn’t feel as if the treatment was administered right (as
if I would really know). There were times when I didn’t want to go at all but the difference is that when I walk
into my chiropractor’s office, there is a sense of healing, a sense of welcome, and a sense of serenity and peace.
They never give up on you and always have words of encouragement. They shake my hand and look me in the
eyes. They are for real.

It is because of what they have, which is God given, that I feel so much better. Even when I am under serious
stress, I am still better than I was two years ago. You would figure that with all the “experiences” I’ve had, I
would know this by now but it has been just recently that I have really given my body credit for healing itself.
Isn’t that a crazy thing? Truly, my darn body is awesome. It does stuff I don’t understand ( it also makes me go
to sleep so that I don’t think about it too much).

Everything that is important in life is personal and only me and my heart can determine its success. I am in no
way, shape or form close to achieving my best yet. I am continually working on it. Even with the ups and downs
and negative people around you I trust that God will continue to bless my chiropractor and his staff with the gift
of miracles and healing because I know I will also be blessed.
