" I
have learnt that healing takes time and that despite feeling
better, the repair process continues to occur on the inside."
I
had been suffering from severe back pain for nine months when
I first met Doctor Farthing. I had tried many different painkillers
and anti-inflammatories, none of which gave me any relief.
I had also had two courses of physiotherapy and seen a consultant
who diagnosed "wear and tear". I was offered
steroid injections into the facet joints which I did not
want. I had seen a chiropractor and been referred to a pain
clinic. I had unfortunately never really got any
solutions to my problem, or relief for my pain.
I was ready to give up as I believed that no-one
or nothing could help me, and that that was just how my
life would always be.
I had to give up my job, I was unable to sleep,
sit or stand for any length of time. I was not even able
to play with my daughter and I became very depressed. I
had hardly any movement in my neck, my back had taken my
life over completely and I was in pain all day, every day.
I
saw Doctor Farthing doing a spinal screening at PC World
and made an appointment to see him at the Ideal Spine Centre.
There I received a thorough examination and x-rays were taken
of my neck and lower back. It was so nice to have
everything explained to me and to be encouraged to ask as
many questions as I wanted.
The doctor's report revealed severe subluxation
of my pelvis as it was very twisted and I was carrying much
more weight on one side of my body than the other. This was
obviously putting a lot of pressure on my spine and nervous
system.
Doctor Farthing diagnosed a number of subluxations
in my spine. I have now learnt that subluxation is when the
spine becomes misaligned and causes nerve pressure which
interferes with the messages that the brain sends through
the spinal cord to the body. This in turn affects one's health.
Having
then started a programme of spinal adjustments and an exercise
regime, I felt the benefit within weeks. My movement started
to improve and I remember being out shopping one day and
suddenly realising that I had not had any pain for the first
day in almost a year! I cannot tell you how good it was not
to feel my back hurt. However, I have also learnt that healing
takes time and that despite feeling better, the repair process
continues to occur on the inside.
The staff at the Ideal Spine Centre are always cheerful
and helpful and I feel that I am among friends when I am
there. The atmosphere is peaceful and uplifting. This is
so different from my many other experiences at clinics.
Doctor Farthing has been extremely supportive and dedicated
to helping me through some hard times in my personal life
as well as looking after my health needs. He has given up
his time just to listen to me and give me encouragement which
is something that I will never forget.
I have learnt so much about my health and also a
lot about myself since I have been attending the Ideal
Spine Centre. I have also realised that there are some
good people in this world, who truly wish to help others
and improve their health and lives.
I would recommend the Ideal Spine Centre to everyone.
I
would like to say thank you to Doctor Farthing and to all of
his staff for never giving up on me.
