Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Be careful with Chiropractors....That is who I went to in the beginning when I first hurt my back and pinched my sciatic nerve, I went to the Chiropractor everyday 6 days a week for three months, all he did was transfer pinched nerve in my right leg, to pinched in the left leg. That was my biggest mistake I made was to go to a chiropractor in the first place. After that I went to a Osteopath for another three months, to get pain medication as well as muscle re laxer's, sleeping pills, that was the most painful experience I have gone through in my life. Except kidney stones. Richard Hurlburt In a message dated 3/29/2009 4:59:07 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, drlanphier writes: No laughing from this part of Texas!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi Tony. I googled your hernia problem, and wasn't going to send this info as I didn't believe it would help you. On the other hand, now you think that the rest of your pain could be helped by muscle relaxing. So--this I can help you with. I could go into a lot of different examples, but I will tell you what I just told another lady today--that is facing surgery because her doctors tell her it's the "only way" to stop her bone on bone knee pain. If I were you, after reading this, I would write to www.egoscue.com explain your problem and ask if they think their stretches will help. They are great people and will be honest with you, and usually they answer right away. Here's what I wrote the other lady: Hi. I'm on the health and healing list and saw your post. Thought I would Tell you about the book Pain Free by Pete Egoscue. It is in paperback and Usually any book store will carry it. This book is about stretching, not exercises in the traditional sense. When You use these stretches it teaches the correct muscles to do their job. When we get tears, torn ligaments, arthritis, bone on bone type of problems, these are not Due to what the doctors say is wrong. The pain from these conditions is From the wrong muscles being used to support the body parts. The stretches Start the correct muscles back on their job. When the correct muscles are Used, the pain goes away--even if the "technical" problem is still Officially there. There is a web site you can visit that will tell you a bit more. Www.egoscue.com I have no financial interest in this book or clinic, but have seen miracles Happen when these stretches are put into practice. Surgery is completely Avoided. I have a friend that had her wrist bone deteriorate so badly the Doctors wanted to take a section of her bone out--it was "the only way". I Told her about this book. She is a massage therapist, so was unable to work Because of the pain. She started doing the stretches in the book. In 2 months she was back at work, no pain at all. She was so impressed by What these simple stretches did for her that she took classes and became an Egoscue therapist instead of a massage therapist. I have other friends that Have used these stretches to relieve all sorts of problems the doctors say Are impossible to fix without surgery. So if you wish to avoid surgery you should certainly give these stretches a Few weeks to see if they help you. And after she took my advice today and ordered the book (she wants to avoid that surgery!!) she had written me back saying she ordered it and was anxious to get the book as it seemed like it might also help others in her family, I wrote her this: Hi Cathy. Glad to help. What I didn't put in the last post is that my friend that became the Egoscue practitioner told me later about her arthritis. She said that she had to actually roll out of bed and take baby steps into the bathroom, where she had to shower for 20 minutes under hot water to loosen up her body. After a month of doing the stretches she bounces out of bed and no need for the shower, because she has no arthritis pain anywhere. It seems almost too miraculous, but these stories are very common when the stretches are used. The book is great because it's broken down into sections, where you start for whatever pain you have. Like shoulder pain, do these first, for hip pain, do these first, etc. I recommend this book to everyone. :-) Samala, Renee--PS There is an egoscue clinic in Austin. A husband and wife had gotten into a bad car wreck. There was nothing more the doctors could do, and they were both--but especially the woman, if I remember right--in so much pain that they went to California to Egoscue's clinic. He helped them so much they became practitioners and opened their clinic is Austin. They charge the same prices as the main clinic does, and it is worth it. My friend the massage therapist, went there once when Egoscue wrote her and said the stretches would help. She went to see exactly how the stretches were done, and to get evaluated. They naturally wanted her to come back--they suggest 8 times, but once was all that was necessary for my friend. My friend is here in New Braunfels, and she charges less than the clinics. She's certified through Egoscue, but is not listed on their site because it cost $10,000 to become an "official clinic" and she did not have the money. Just so you know, because you are here in Texas and close enough for a visit to either place, if Egoscue says the stretches can help. We are lucky to have a clinic so close, otherwise you have to go to another state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm sorry to hear of your bad experience. Don't let it prejudice you against ALL chiropracters, though as there are many very good ones and several of them are members of this group. In fact, over 50 of the first 100 members to sign up for this group were chiropracters and one of the moderators of this group is a chiropracter - a very good one too, and quite knowledgeable when it comes to alternative and natural health.
