The Proof is in the Pudding

Over the past month we have taken a look at some amazing stories about chiropractic restoring vision and allowing a crippled girl to walk again. However, I shouldn’t label them as stories, since they are documented, proven cases of chiropractic working in the lives of patients.

This week, instead of sharing a story about chiropractic in the national arena, I thought I would share a testimonial that hits close to home. This information was written by a patient who wanted to share her chiropractic story:

“My testimony begins in December, 2007. I was 28 years old and my health was deteriorating rapidly. I was dizzy everyday, all day long. My blood pressure had dropped to 90/56. So, I sought medical help. My family practitioner couldn’t find anything wrong with me, but wanted to see me in 6 weeks. Within that small period of time, I started dropping weight at an alarming rate. My doctors had no idea what to tell me, but offered medicine to help my stomach. Food seemed to pass through me and my weight continued to drop. The medication never helped and I was beginning to lose hope for a resolution. I was now being led by fear. There were times that my legs would fail me. I constantly felt sensations in my nerves that would start in my pelvis and radiate all the way down to my feet, leaving my weak and shaky.

My entire life was starting to crumble. My husband, God bless him, was at his wits end with me. He had no escape because I needed him to be nearby for all levels of support. I was even afraid to be alone with the kids. My children had no idea who I was because I couldn’t go anywhere or enjoy any normal activity. My mind was always on my health. I was desperate… It was then that I remembered the difference I had felt during my past years of chiropractic care. I began once again to seek help and found Dr. Amy.

Within the first week of chiropractic care, my constant dizziness changed to just dizzy spells and soon disappeared completely. After four months, my stomach was back to normal and I was maintaining a steady weight. Normal leg function had also returned. Seven months into chiropractic, I started gaining weight and began changing my lifestyle to fit my new found health! Some additional changes I experienced after starting chiropractic care were: an end to chronic yeast infections, no more sleepless nights or headaches and a strong immune system through the cold and flu season. What has surprised my husband and I the most would be the end to my anxiety attacks. Which is more than a benefit – it has changed my life!

I am a firm believer in God and believe He does work miracles, but if He so chooses. I also believe He will lead us to the tools that give us what we so desperately seek; health and well-being. For me, it was Dr. Amy’s hands, her knowledge and encouragement that helped me through the months of questioning this choice. Every time I did question, I was reminded of where I had come from. I will never go back to my old lifestyles again. Today I am the healthiest and happiest I have ever been, thank you so much, Dr. Amy!”
