Chiropratic Medicine

I saw a chiropractor all throughtout my pregnancy. It worked for me. I am still seeing him. His name is Dr. Wayne Hebert. He is located in Southlake. I am so thankful to finally have relief from my back pain. If you would like to see him you can tell him I sent you.

I totally reccommend it. I don't have a lot of curvature in my cervical vertebre & have problems with my mid-back due to my painting. I have had chiros that had me coming in multiple timesa a week w/ poor results. My chiro now, I see bi-weekly, or as needed & I feel great. I'll go more often if my migraines are flaring up.

Keep in mind, however, there are many schools of thought & practice within the Chiropractic field. The traditionalists seem to "crack it all, everytime," and I've had mixed results. My new chiro, I 've been using for me & my oldest daughter for a year now practices "Gonstead" chiropractic. I love it. It is more specific & focused, and has worked very well for me.

Do your research, and as tough as it can be, if you try one & don't like him, try another. They are all a little different. And some are definitely better than others...some I even refer to as "chiro-quackers."

Hi DD,
I have used Chiropractic care for three or four different issues that I feel a doctor does not 'treat' but just prescribe muscle relaxers, etc.
1. pinched nerves in lower vertebrae--at times have to go in to realign--easy to re injure this one
2. knee due to car accident...was going to have surgery possibly...after three months of treatment with the chiro...no problems since and that was 12 years ago; also had headaches after the accident and he helped with those too.
3. shoulder injury due to dog pulling me on walks---my family doc just took x-rays..could not see anything wrong, so he prescribed muscle relaxers--have been to two chiros for this....the first one used every machine in the office and did adjustments...wanted me in every week once or twice...was billing my insurance over 300 per visit...I dropped him and reported him to my insurance. I got better, but feel it was too much treatment for something so simple.
4. After baby #2, I was unable to lay on the floor...my shoulder all the way down was SO painful. I went to a chiro once a week for about six weeks and then went every other week for a month and now I don't go hardly at all...I think the last time I went as about three months ago (started treatment in July). He uses minimal machines if any and does pure chiropractic care--he is reasonably billing my insurance as well. I recommend Larry Cameron in McKinney...I think he is very good.

I do think it is a great way to heal...not just cover the symptoms. It has worked for me. I know some people go for basically everything..illnesses, etc. Just find one you feel comfortable with.

Good luck,
K.

D. D.,

Hey there!! my hubby is going to Parker college of chiropractic so i am pretty familar with it all.. and YES!!! its wonderful... depending on how severe of a case of pain you have will depend on how much care you need.. if this is has been a long time of pain then your body has probably adjusted and compensated for that and is now in a NEW state of normal.. so it may take a little bit to get back to your bodys "good normal" .. anyways.. its great... my husband has learned so much about the body.. and its fascinating how by getting adjusted can help with so many things... immune stystem is just one of them.. awayways.. good luck and let me know about the pump! thanks

Dear D D,

I see a chiropractor on a regular basis just to keep in line. Earlier I had some major neck and back problems. Sciatic problems are especially good at chiro. And migraines. I went to one a few years ago during one of my monthly hormone migraines. He did something to my neck and I've never had a bad one since! I highly recommend chiro care for almost anything. They can even help with asthma, immune problems, etc.

I now go to Dr. Max Waddell in Keller. He is VERY good! Hope this helps!

I have always had bad neck and back pain. I started going to a chiropractor and feel so much better and he has a massage therapist in his office and insurance pays for that too, so both services together really help! I LOVE my chiropractor and the massage therapist. They are so nice and it is a wonderful office environment! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!! Let me know if you try them out and how it is. You can go to their website www.allinonechiropractic.com or call them ###-###-####. They are right off Davis Blvd.

take it from an ex chiropractic patient ... once you begin you can never stop ... think of it like braces ... you get them put on, you then need them on for however long (1-3yrs on avg) then once you get them off you need a retainer some need one for years if not forever.

I am no longer interested in chiro care seeing that I was not in need of thier care but something only surgery could have taken care of ... I could have lost the ability to walk period had I kept seeing the chiro and not gone into the specialist. Yes, it's an ok bandaid but I wont go again.

Yes, I believe there is a good reason for chiropractic care rather than a traditional doctor. There are times you should see a specialist too, like in the one post that had issues. And a good chiropractir will tell you when you need to see someone else.

I know two really good ones, so if you're interested email me and I'll send you their names.

I started doing yoga, too and that has really helped. Good luck!
