NO OPERATION FOR ME!<\/strong><\/p>\n

February 2006<\/p>\n

I have spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal column that causes lower back pain along with some arthritis.\u00a0 I also have spondylolisthesis recently diagnosed early in 2005.\u00a0 This is the term for a slipped vertebrae compressing on a nerve.\u00a0 This added to my lower back pain, including right leg and foot pain.\u00a0 I have been dealing with the discomfort through pain management, epidural steroid injections, orthotics, massages, ibuprofen and chiropractic treatments.\u00a0 This was all done in my hometown.\u00a0 After moving to\u00a0Smithville [name of town changed] two years ago these treatments ceased and the pain worsened.<\/p>\n

I then saw a neurosurgeon in Smithville. The surgeon said I needed a lumbar spinal fusion which would be done in a seven hour procedure.\u00a0 Recovery would take 6 months, sometimes as much as 18 months before fusion is complete.\u00a0 She told me I did not have much of a choice.\u00a0 Was she wrong!\u00a0 I sought a second opinion and was told I did not need an invasive surgery as she suggested.<\/p>\n

I met Dr. A at the Women\u2019s Expo in the fall of 2005.\u00a0 I told him my tale of woe.\u00a0 He did a computerized spinal exam, which showed my right side from neck to lower back was unbalanced.\u00a0 He was very encouraging and seemed to know exactly what was giving me back pain.\u00a0 I have been receiving treatments from him ever since until January 2006.\u00a0 I am now on monthly maintenance treatments which I feel is very important to maintain my road to recovery.<\/p>\n

I can now sleep through the night.\u00a0 Being fairly active senior citizen.\u00a0 I can resume most of the activities I enjoy doing, which improves my mental attitude. I am looking forward to summer gardening, playing with my grandchildren, golfing, hiking and more, all with less pain than before.<\/p>\n

Thank you Dr. A for helping to improve my lifestyle and to enjoy life to the fullest.\u00a0 Yoga, meditation, healthy eating and a positive mental attitude professed by you has influenced my life.\u00a0 Your friendly and professional staff, A & K are a plus to your practice.\u00a0 I am always greeted with a smile and genuine concern for my well being. Chiropractic is the way to go!
