Are you looking for a Santa Maria area Chiropractor for back pain, sports injury, auto accident, arthritis, or some subluxation problem?
I recommend Dr Fred Carbone at Aloha Family Chiropractic.
Back around 1977 I first visited a Chiropractor. Being a very active (and clumsy) kid it seemed a necessity. That plus wrestling, plus running track, livingon a small farm life plus dealing with a moderate case of scoliosis required I go in and get adjusted every so often.
But for years after that I figured I didn’t need Chiropractic care. I went every now and again but for the most part I put it off. No pain no need for the routine.
That was until one early Saturday morning this year when I lifted my leg to step in the shower and something in my back sounded like it exploded. The pain was worse than anything I’ve ever felt.
That’s saying a lot. I’ve had a second degree burn in my eye. Been stung by wasps and bees a dozen or so times — and I’m allergic. Been bitten by spiders couple dozen times. Motor cycle crash. Broken wrist. And too many bumprs, brusies, and burns to list. None of them compared to the pain in my back.
I couldn’t lean left or right. Couldn’t lift my legs. Couldn’t bend. It felt as if dry bones were running against each other. Rubbing each other raw to the marrow. There really are no words to express the intensity of the pain.
I endiued the pain and loss of flexibility and mobility until Monday morning. Called Carbone and he xrayed me, did diagnostics and adjusted me. Turns out there was no deterioration of the spine. Fortunately. Just a heck of a lot of pain and subluxation that will take a few weeks to get back to norrnal.
Am not 100%. But no longer counting my steps to avoid unexpected jolts to my spine from gaps or cracks or uneven pavement as I walk either. And I can bend and pick up stuff and tie my own shoes again.
Though I’ve reached a measure of improvement, the one thing I am not doing is returning to neglecting my body. I’m on a regular maintenance program. And will stay on it for as long as I can to keep from ever going back to the pain caused by neglecting my health.
The sad thing is, I didn’t get hurt doing something cool like bull riding or skydiving. All I did was lift my leg to enter the shower. How embarrassing is that?!?
