Re: [RC] Daughters head injury on horse - David & Maggie

That evening she came home and had developed a "Twitch"
in her shoulder. It increased and her head still hurt.

This sounds almost exactly like what happened to me several years ago. Same
twitch and everthing.

I didn't mess with a doctor (I'm a nurse, so I don't trust them!). I went
straight to a chiropracter. He worked miracles. After the first treatment, I
got the feeling back in the toes that the podiatrist said he could do
surgery on to fix. Also, no more twitch. After the next few treatments, no
more pain anywhere. I had been hurting in places that I didn't realize hurt
until they didn't anymore.

Finding a good chiro is a must. See if you can find one that use a
'visualizer'. I'm sure there's a bigger name for it, but it's a machine that
takes a video xray of your body moving. He also took a series of still xrays
and wouldn't touch me until he had had time to read them.

And chiros are cheap compared to MD's. Mine charges $25 per adustment. No
office visit fees, just $25. The xrays were about $80 for everything,
including visualizer.

Anybody remember the year I came off at Sheltowee and tore my tights clean
off of me with 17 miles to go? I had hit my head. (Obviously) Thank Mom I
was wearing clean underwear!
