Oshkosh Chiropractor Offers Thanksgiving Thoughts

admin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 18:08:56 +0000

As your Oshkosh chiropractor, over the years I have blogged often about the adverse effects of obesity on the musculoskeletal system. Because excess weight can cause misalignment of the spine, tilting of the pelvis, unhealthy gait patterns, and wear and tear on the joints, it has been my experience that preventative and relief measures, such as weight loss, is essential for good health. But, this time of year, my thoughts are not so much on those who have more than enough to eat, but on those who don’t get enough food each day to sustain their body in a healthy way.

During this holiday season many of my colleagues are offering incentives to current and new patients that, in exchange for chiropractic adjustments, will help to provide money for local food banks or food items for charitable organizations to distribute directly to those in need.

And, as Thanksgiving approaches, I want to offer my gratitude to all of my loyal patients who, as they move from the limitations of health challenges and into the freedom optimal health, give me hundreds of reasons to continue to do what I do. And, my appreciation goes out to my chiropractic colleagues, as well, who believe deeply in the efficacy of chiropractic treatment and through their dedicated work make such a great contribution, and big difference, to the people in their communities.

MY HEADACHES ARE GONE

I was getting nagging headaches almost daily. I was at a point where I thought I was going to be “blessed” with them until I mentioned them to Dr. Anderson. He worked his “magic” and they were gone.

I had been suffering for the past 10 years with back pain. I tried taking medication that was prescribed to me by my doctor to no avail and it didn’t seem to solve my back pain.

I then heard a radio advertisement of Dr. Anderson’s and made an appointment to see him. Through treatment of spinal adjustments my back feels better and my headaches are gone.

I recommend that you see Dr. Anderson for treatment, especially for back pain!

ADJUSTMENTS UNDO THE CONSTANT NEGLECT

On a Friday night I was lifting ¾”, 4 x 8 sheet of plywood and strained my back. I had extreme lower back pain and was curled up in a fetal position for 2 days and unable to walk or stand upright. I was trying prescription pain killers and ibuprofen and they didn’t seem to work.

Dr. Anderson was the only chiropractor to take me in on Labor Day! He took x-rays, examined, adjusted my back and put me on an aggressive two week schedule.
Dr. Anderson told me that I had a subluxation of the lower back.

I went from a condition where I could not stand up straight or walk without help or losing my breath to now I am at a full 100% with activities and with no pain.

My life has been improved since coming to Dr. Anderson’s office where I can do all activities previous to my injury. I also have realized that I’m not as physically invincible as I previously

My words of encouragement are:
You don’t have to be in pain. Adjustments undo the constant neglect that most people have for their body. It’s impossible to have perfect posture all the time. Not to lift something heavy and keep a healthy lifestyle all the time. Dr. Anderson can keep you on a pain free schedule and allow to follow a lifestyle you feel comfortable and happy with and not bog you down with all the little details.

FEEL LIKE A NEW PERSON THANKS TO DR. ANDERSON!

I had minor back problems for about 6-8 months. It probably started from strenuous house cleaning jobs that I do. Also stress from caring for my husband and his passing away in February. On May 30th, in the afternoon I had much pain in my back and I could barely get around. I had minor back pain in the past, but nothing that was so severe.

I had tried heat and minor exercises. My son in law then told me about Dr. Anderson.

Dr. Anderson told me I had scoliosis, arthritis and a pinched nerve. I came five days in a row then three times a week for three weeks. Each treatment relieved pain and made me feel better. Now I have no pain and can keep working and enjoying life. I feel like a new person thanks to Dr. Anderson. Try him, He’s great!

NO OPERATION FOR ME!

NO OPERATION FOR ME!
I have spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal column that causes lower back pain along with some arthritis. I also have spondylolisthesis recently diagnosed early in 2005. This is the term for a slipped vertebrae compressing on a nerve. This added to my lower back pain, including right leg and foot pain. I have been dealing with the discomfort through pain management, epidural steroid injections, orthotics, massage, ibuprofen and chiropractic treatments. This was all done in my hometown. After moving to Oshkosh two years ago these treatments ceased and the pain worsened.

I then saw a neurosurgeon in Oshkosh. The surgeon said I needed a lumbar spinal fusion which would be done in a seven hour procedure. Recovery would take six months, sometimes as much as 18 months before fusion is complete. The surgeon told me I did not have much of a choice. That advice turned out to be wrong. I sought a second opinion and was told I did not need an invasive surgery as suggested.

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

I can now sleep through the night. Being a fairly active senior citizen, 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.

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