Al,
In 97, I was advised by a chiro that I should consider a career change given the condition and injury to my back. At the time I was a landscaper by trade.
I had 3 jarred vertabre on the spine and suffered chronic neck and hip pain in the follwoing years.
During this time I had been diagnosed with everything imaginable by the "traditional therapy" types. Even Cat Scans for unrepairable Nerve Damge! according to some.
For several years I placed my health in the hands of traditionalists, blowing $ bills on my livelyhood.
What A waste OF TIME AND MONEY!
I mean being charged $70 for the placement of suction cups on my back is an absoloute joke considering your local GP would do this during of a general visit covered by medicare.
How much can a man Stetch! ?
In 2000 a new aquantance put me onto an Osteopath in Randwick (Sydney), mate I can tell you that the last 5 years have been bliss.
In one visit he identified that my right leg was slightly shorter than the left and my body had been compensating ever since.
Off to the podiatrist I went...
I now wear authotics (spelling) and have experienced nothing of the pain I endured in the the late 90's .
I frequently visited my Osteo over the last 5 years as the body put on weight quickly after the subjects wedding :) Afterall the auhtotics were not to solve an additional 15kg and now 30kg weight gain :(
My story comes to a sad end Im afraid. Im March of this year my Osteo moved to Noosa, I haven't had the trust to see anyone else, but when that times comes I assure you it will be an Osteopath once more !
