Almost two years ago, I injured my lower back on a
construction project in Connecticut. I was out of
work for a week and sought chiropractic treatment
for a “bulging disc”. In only a few visits, my pain
was relieved and I was convinced that chiropractic
helped without emergency room visits or
prescription drugs. I discontinued treatment after
the pain subsided, but I realize now that I did not
correct my spinal alignment. Over time, my lower
spine shifted out of alignment and settled in a
twisted manor without my awareness. My alignment
degenerated slowly and I did not notice the affect
this injury had on my energy level, strength,
movement, digestion, and even attitude. The
severity of my subluxation was unknown until my
left leg went numb and the shooting spinal pain
returned. I thought that I had re-injured myself
seriously. I tried Ibuprofen, Aleve, and a hot
compress, but they did not alleviate the aggravated
nerves. I
was unable to even drive a truck.
Every pothole or speed bump was torturous. I was desperate to get immediate treatment, so I searched the internet for a chiropractor in my area and found Rode Chiropractic. I read through the comments online which were left from previous patients and I was comforted by the success stories. Dr. Rode set an immediate appointment. After seeing the x-rays, Dr. Rode’s diagnosis identified the problem area and the degree at which my spine was out of alignment. Treatment to lessen the pain began the following day. After the first readjustment, I remember saying to myself “Oh thank God”. Unlocking my spine was instantly soothing. I was instructed to make a few minor changes in my habits and lifestyle like not crossing my legs and sleeping on my back. The pain was alleviated in only a few visits. After a month, the normal circulation returned to my left leg. I am now happily playing golf, snorkeling, and riding rides at the fair in only 21 visits! I am proud to be a Rode Chiropractic success story and I have signed family members up for Dr. Rode’s 15 minute realignment. I owe much of my quality of life to these incredible new chiropractic techniques and experiences
