Last month for the first time ever I went to see a Chiropractor. Apparently my back was VERY messed up. Since then I have gone to the Chiropractor almost every day for corrections.

I have seen one major sensory improvement. My near constant positional vertigo is GONE. I am no longer getting dizzy changing from lying down to sitting up and from sitting to standing. I am no longer getting dizzy riding in a car. The positional vertigo has been an increasing challenge for over 4 years.

My light sensitivity has calmed down a little. I can now temporarily have my Irlen Lenses off when there is light in the room without being instantly stunned.

My walking capability has improved dramatically. I can now sometimes walk in a straight line at a fast pace. Not all the time, but at least I can now occassionally do it.

So I revoke any bad thoughts I might have ever had towards Chiropracty as junk science. I am embarrassed by those thoughts now. The Chiropractor I saw took X-rays and MRIs of the troubled areas first and then showed us clearly where the problems were. The Chiropractor did more technical explainations in clear langauge treating myself and my husband like adults than any other doctor I have seen. I have seen a lot of doctors.

I think my originally negative opinion was formed by the seeming quacks that my company would bring in to evaluate the worker's backs.
That's great news! I love my chiropractor! Ever since my first pregnancy, I get sciatic pain now and then. Going to the chiropractor really helps me a lot. I haven't noticed any sensory improvements, but then again, it's only recently that I have thought that I'm SPD.
Chiropractic and osteopathy have made my life much better over the years. The other thing that has really helped is yoga - I've found a teacher who has taught me so much about the way my body works and why I have the back problems I do - so now I have a little "tool kit" of exercises that I know will help when things flare up.
Yoga would be impossible for me without a one-on-one teacher. I can barely stretch any of my muscles without risking a paralysis attack due to the pain load bursts and spasming muscles.
