Due to the fact that I have had "issues" finding MD's who really want to figure out what's wrong with me, I've begun seeing a chiropractor with a number of specialties. She's also a registered nurse practitioner, acupuncturist, and specializes in anti-aging, physical therapy, food allergies, nutrition, and Chinese medicine. I think she also might be able to walk on water too, but I didn't see a certificate on her wall for that.
So far so good though. I'm not trying to jump the gun, but the fact that the pain in both hips has decreased is a good sign. I'm waiting on my blood tests to come back and we'll see what those show.
The best thing about Dr.J isn't the stim therapy, or that back adjustments, or that she pops my ribs back into place. No. It's the fact that she really listens. She takes a detailed look at my medical history. She asks questions the rest of the MD's didn't have time for. How can you properly treat a patient if you don't have time to hear about what's wrong? Wouldn't you miss something?
I love the little portable stim therapy unit she gave me for home. I also really like the stretches that she gave me to do everyday. I'm going to get my gym membership reinstated so I can use the pool.
It's a start....and I'm thankful for that.
