I was traveling over the holidays visiting family in Bloomington and I had some issues in my back. It was to the point where I couldn't lift my right arm nor place any weight on my left arm.
First, I've never been to a chiropractor and I was previously skeptical. However, I was informed on everything that would occur as part of the appointment and the doctor even explained what he thought the ailment was: how a pinched nerve could be the reason for some additional shoulder pain. Next, the doctor performed various treatments including some manipulations of my back combined with a massage to relax the muscle near the pinched nerve. The doctor kept working the entire back and spine, gradually getting closer and closer to the problem area. Then, after a specific manipulation, I felt immediately relief; not complete relief, but significantly better. The doctor continued with some other manipulations and explained how my symptoms should improve over the next twenty-four hours, identifying what symptoms should cause concern. I healed exactly as he stated over the next twenty-four hours and I didn't need to go back. And the price was very reasonable.
I am sold. I used to be skeptical, but now I feel after Dr. Pixler that a regular visit to a chiropractor could significantly improve my overall health and wellness all without pain meds. Any joint or muscle problems, it is worth going here first before going to a medical doctor (and most likely cheaper).
