Chiropractors

Hi, Unfortunatly yes. 10 years back I was operated on . Hernia. On the bottom of my back.The operation was a success and I was oke for 10 years more .And this year the pains in my legs started all over again. And I have lost my work. I can no longer do that work anymore. It has been almost 6 months know. All kinds of therapy, heat , hanging me upside down. (lol, it helps the best, sounds stupid, i know, but it pulls the backs bones away from each other)The heat stuff , does not help. My back is worn out know. The bones touch each other, and that causes the pain.Hard to explain. And My back is not staight either. Also to the right. Never noticed. Nobody did. The dokter saw it on the fotos, scans. At the end of this month I am getting another new therapy. If that does not work, they will have to operate again. I cannot even clean my house without having pain for at least 3 days. Cannot do the grocerys all the time, some days I can hardly walk. But, oke there are worse things in life. I will get there. I hope your husband has better luck with his back. If he has no pain, or problem with the not being standing straight. My advies would be to exercise a little. situps and things that make your stomach stronger. That takes the stress off of the back. Well, hopefully it will all be nothing serious. Take care.

I have a problem with headaches caused from nerves in my neck being pinched. I go to a chiropractor about once or twice a month from this and it has helped me drastically!!! I was having heads everyday to the point where i couldn't see very well since i have been going i havn't had many server headaches as before when ever my neck and head start to hurt i go!!!

Oh yes the spine is very important and Im glad your husband is being realign or they sometimes called adjusted. Not to worry he will be fine. I use to work for a chiropractor I did the billing. And he would always give me free alignments. LOL Perks of the job.LOL

I do not think that your husband having back problems is funny. It is serious. If he does any heavy work, he may have to quit work and be retrained and that would mean less money coming in the house. ( next time, use your LOL wisely.) I hope when he gets to a Chiropractor and he gets it straightened out. I was playing on the gate when I was a child and fell down and hit my head, putting my spine out. I had to go to the Chiropractor to get it fixed when I was older and it made me much better. I could stand straighter and my hips were no longer lopsided.

My sister has scholeosis(I know I didn't even spell that right:P) and she has a very hard time with her back. It was just found earlier this year and she has been having back treatments for several months now. I know I should probably have mine checked because I get a lot of back aches. My husband has back problems too and I always tell him he needs to see a chiropractor, but we don't have insurance. I just hate to see him suffer.

Make sure you tell your husband that the chiropractor will not "cure" him in just one visit. I went to mine for a pinched nerve in my back that was excruciating. I had to see him 3 times a week at first, then 2 per week, down to once a week. The entire course of treatment took one year, BUT that was more than 17 years ago and I have NEVER experienced that pain again. I used to get it quite often up until then, so I highly recommend going to the chiropractor.

There was a chiropractor at the Eco-Expo a few weeks ago. Actually, there were two. I had this done by one and my head tilts to the left. When my husband had it done by the other chiro, he looked worse than I did and I'm the one with fibromyalgia! I had an appointment with the chiro for a free consultation but woke up sick that morning and cancelled. I never rescheduled. I'm not a fan of chiropractors and had actually told the guy of my bad past experiences and he tried to brush it off as it having been 15 years ago. I don't think things have changed THAT much as far as aligning the body with adjustments is concerned.

Poor hubby, how could you tease a handicap person? LOL. Or should I say how could you have married a crooked man? Ha. Okay, that is enough, I am done. I have had problems with my lower back on many different occassions, for many different reasons. The main one I suppose is because of my weight. I have not had any problems lately though, thank God.

thx for your mention!my back always ache,maybe i should go to chiropractor one day for a check.we're sitting at office every day for such long hours,i think that causes my backache.
