A little lady just left my office a few minutes ago, bent at the waist forward about 30 degrees. She was in pain and having a difficult time walking.  However, when she walked in to my office a few minutes before that, she was bent over about 75 degrees and had to have help walking. She could not take a step by herself. 

In about 10 minutes, her posture improved by 45 degrees and her pain level decreased significantly.  It is nothing I did, really.  It is just the amazing ability of the body to heal and self-correct WHEN GIVEN THE PROPER HELP!!!  As a chiropractor, I specialize in giving the body such help.  Chiropractors provide gentle adjustments (high velocity, low amplitude, i.e. quick and soft maneuvers) to the spine in order to decrease pain and swelling and increase posture and function.  We also use exercise and other forms of treatment to help us bring about desired results.

 This sweet, little lady had the choice:  lie around and hope for the best, or come to a chiropractor who she knew and trusted (b/c we had helped her with another problem six years ago) and get relief and help. Thankfully, she made the choice TO WALK.  What about you?
