Chiropractic Care
The right chiropractic care is heavily underrated.
There are chiropractors who are tough on your body, but there are also ones who are extremely gentle, yet effective. I'd rather seek natural alternatives than be dosed up on medicine that is bad for me and often negatively adds to the way I feel.
I have struggled with severe allergies, had the allergy testing, and tested highly allergic to all things. I went for years on allergy injections and had a great ENT. It wasn't until I started experiencing terrible vertigo episodes in 2019, recurring monthly and often bad enough to bring on vomiting. My ENT told me I had an early onset of Meniere's disease, stemming from an inner ear fluid inflammatory imbalance. Steroids helped the most, but he said the quickest way to both feel better and get to the grave was through the use of steroids, so he wanted to find other options that made the episodes tolerable and less frequent. He tried a blood pressure pill with a diuretic to take down fluid, hopefully helping the inner ears. It helped, but episodes still popped up every couple of months, which was more than I wanted to deal with. The next step was a shot in my ear that would likely damage my hearing, but disable the nerve response in my ear. About six months before this began, I had been running in the rain to get to my car and popped my hip audibly, and with my allergies, I was having terrible headaches. I had been going to a great local chiropractor that I still love to help with those two things, but had a co-worker tell me about a type of chiropractic specialist who focused on neurological response for headache treatment. They had 5-star reviews on Google! They do a 3D X-Ray up front of your neck and head. Long story short, the type of adjustment they do, which you don't feel, happens to be right behind the ear, and it shifts the pressure in my ear. Headaches stopped, and VERTIGO stopped. That was an unexpected bonus! A true Godsend!!! -AVW, 47
Acupuncture
More than just needles.
First off, I hate needles. As a little girl, I often fainted with needles. Having babies cured a lot of it, but still ... I hate needles. These do not hurt and definitely don't feel like IV needles or finger sticking ones!
What brought me to acupuncture? An annoying tingling in my feet that seemed to stem from hurting my hip, and lower back pain from desk work. The tingling was worse at night when I was trying to go to sleep. My family doctor sent me to a neurosurgeon in Anderson. From scans, he said I had a good deal of inflammation at my L4 and L5 area in my lower back, which would be the cause of the tingling, related to the sciatica. What's crazy is that he is the one who told me that he highly suggested I try acupuncture before going any further with him. He told me he knew that it was probably surprising to come from him, but he had a coworker previously in the ER who was an avid runner and had injured herself. He said she was near surgery, struggling for a year with no improvement, and tried an acupuncturist out of desperation. He said she made a believer out of many physicians around him because the acupuncture helped the inflammation, enabled her to heal, and she had fully resumed running. I learned about Affordable Acupuncture from my chiropractor. They had heard all good things and told me they truly were the most affordable around. They are! Less than half the price of most acupuncturists. And after two treatments, no more tingling in my foot! I also have since learned they offer other things like immunity injections, B injections, all kinds of supplements, and after each treatment, a complementary 5-minute massage on your most problematic area.
