Fibromyalgia

1 success story about fibromyalgia.


I have had trouble most of my life with my neck and shoulders. I could not turn my neck fully to the left. I could do it part way with pain but, after a point it would go no farther. Also, there was a hard lump in the middle of my shoulders. I had gone to chiropractors and sometimes felt some relief but never in my neck. Usually worse because it would hurt.

I have to admit although I had heard NUCCA practice was different, I still thought "this can't do anything it is too painless and no jerking around." Oh, I was wrong.

After a few weeks with Dr. Friedman using Upper Cervical Techniques I had such relief.. I could turn my neck all the way as far as I went to the right.. I was excited.. in the next couple weeks that I went, my shoulders dropped-totally unexpected by me.. I did not even realize that I had been forced to hold my shoulders up all this time. When I got home, my son said, "Mom, your neck looks longer", It was that my shoulders had dropped. It took me a while to get used to the feeling very relaxing. That has been over a year ago, and as time went on the lump got less and less and the tightening and stressed feeling has gone.

Truly Unbelievable.I have to say that I'm rather amazed at the results that the adjustments have had on my digestion. Before being adjusted, I suffered from years of chronic heartburn.

Previous to these adjustments, the only thing I had found to be effective were supplemental digestive enzymes. Before that, I went through tons of antacids. While the enzymes were very effective, I kept wondering why my body was not producing them on its own.

Since my initial adjustment months ago, I have had no need for the enzymes! My body is actually producing what it needs to properly digest my food! This is amazing to me to say the least. I no longer have to worry about being caught without enzymes or antacids and the resultant terrible pain. Thanks !D
