Now I feel fantastic!
For a long time I suffered some minor discomfort. As it didn’t seem serious and the pain, although constant, was manageable, I resigned myself to it.
But one day I decided that I was too young to have knee pains – what would happen as I got older?
I started to do the rounds of medical checks: The x-rays didn’t show anything abnormal. One doctor advised me to take anti-inflammatory tablets when the pain was bad. Another doctor told me to do a series of exercises to strengthen the interior ligaments. Actually the problem was that my knee caps were pointing outwards.
After some time I discovered chiropractic and decided to try it. A medical treatment which is so popular in other countries and so unknown here, couldn’t be so bad. And being natural it wouldn’t do me any harm at least.
I followed the Doctor’s advice to the letter and saw noticeable improvements. I haven’t had any knee pain since, but the surprise was the overall improvement in my body. Not only did my knees improve but I was diagnosed with one leg longer than the other, a sacral blockage from adolescence and a pinched nerve from an old car accident. All of this improved with the treatment and the nutritional advice I received from the Doctor.
But the biggest surprise was a cure from the allergies I had suffered for years to pollen, dust mites, dust, animal hair…
Overall, I saw a surprising and complete improvement. Once the intensive treatment was finished, the Dr. recommended a monthly check so as not to lose all the good work and to remain well. And so, that is what I do. Each month I go back to the practice, I still do regular physical exercise and I have changed my eating habits. I have also learned to prioritise – to value other aspects of daily life, like health, family, friendships, so my emotional state is also more balanced along with my physical and general well-being.
Not everything has to be work, stress, money, fun and rest at the weekend and back to the treadmill on Monday…
