Re: [RC] Daughters head injury on horse - Bonnie DavisI'll agree with you guys that chiropractors are great -- but a word of warning..... My husband had a stroke. He has permanent brain stem damage. This was not discovered until his last stroke in March. Doctors all feel brain stem damage stroke was mild but he is NEVER to go to a chiropractor to have his 'neck adjusted'. I use a chiropractor now for my lower back but when it comes to popping my neck to realign neck -- won't do it. I was at the point of back surgery a number of years ago and went to a chiropractor and with a few weeks of adjustments -- my back is fine and I visit him every 6 months to keep it that way. But even he won't do neck adjustments IF the person has had a history of strokes or heart attacks. Bonnie Davis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen J.

The right chiropractor!!!! I had a lifetime of stress to my skull be fixed/balanced by one of my two chiros. She is extremely gentle and found impact/trauma areas in my skull and returned them to normal. She even told me when I had had head injury!! My circulation improved immediately, and my neck and shoulders and probably, thinking have been better balanced ever since. I think her particular technique is called Cranio-Sacrum work - among other things, she found that my pituitary had been pinched by bone placement in the skull. I mentally feel much better balanced since. I am now 53, had a knock-out fall from my horse when I was about 21, at age 26, became epileptic - the focal point was finally found in 1984 - had brain surgery to remove the spot - completely normal now - IQ up (with bad spot out!) but major head trauma with skull being sawed open and glued shut (literally!). She saw the trauma from that, and also undid the damage from the ancient horse fall - shoulder and wrist that buffered the fall... now the left arm is much stronger - 30 years later!!! The body is incredible and can heal beautifully IF you find the right person to help facilitate it!! (and yes, the MRI is important - I was one of the guinea pigs used by Westinghouse in 1985 to prove that only the MRI could find the lesion in my brain) Summary: both Western medical and alternative medicine can help us.

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. Maggie Pritchard 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! =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
