“I was traveling over a long weekend and my neck, shoulders, and back locked up.  My doctor called in prescriptions for a muscle relaxer and an anti-inflammatory – I took the medication for four days, but nothing changed.  When I returned home I came in for Network Care.  During the treatment I felt a strong vibration going back and forth across my lower back and the tingling a the top of my head.  After lying on my back, I could feel the energy rushing up and down my spine.  Dr. Mike then had me sit up and straddle the table – a great feeling rushed through my entire body – I felt euphoric!  The pain I had been feeling over the past five days was completely gone and then I had a vision.  The vision was an answer to prayer.  I had been praying for several weeks, asking God for a clear answer about a situation in my life, after the vision, the direction was clear”

All this to say that the symptoms of carpal tunnel can be mimicked in a variety of ways, too. Part of being a chiropractor in Gilbert or any other area, for that matter, is helping patients to get their lives back – regardless of your belief about the underlying factors leading to the problem. However, one thing is remarkably clear – chiropractic care helps people suffering with symptoms of carpal tunnel. If you or someone you know is suffering with this, contact us today and see if we can help you. Now, here is a story from an actual patient of ours…

What had you been diagnosed with and/or how were you feeling before you began care?

“I was told by my doctor that I had “carpal tunnel” in my wrists and to wear these braces and take with aspirin and wear them at night.  Not only were they uncomfortable to sleep with, but they never helped me.  I was having numbness in my fingers also.  My neck and shoulders seemed to always “ache” because I’d been holding stress there for years.  The doctor told me that surgery on my wrists would be the only answer.”

What was your first impression with our office and the care you received?

“Honestly, I’ve been totally “scared” of chiropractors since I was 19 -  I was in a car accident and was told to go to one and he made me hurt lots worse than I was.  But Dr. Mike’s voice on the phone was very calming and reassuring and I felt better once i met him and he explained the whole process before he ever touched me.  The office is very quiet and he plays really relaxing music that calms your soul.”

How are you currently feeling and what do you think has contributed to this new quality of life you are feeling?

“I no longer feel I have “carpal tunnel”  – my fingers are no longer numb.  I feel really healthy and I can somewhat help myself in stressful situations to become more really aware that I’m “becoming stressed” and Dr. Mike has been helping me work on that.  I feel that I’m a “new woman” without surgery and I feel that if I’d never met Dr. Mike, I’d have probably still had the carpal tunnel, because I don’t like surgery of any kind.”

What would you tell others regarding how you feel or your experience at our office?

“Whenever I see someone with those braces on I tell them about Dr. Mike.  I give out his cards to people he may be able to help.  He does a computer test on your spine that doesn’t even hurt one bit and it tells him where your “problems” are.  He works “one on one” with you and explains it all and is always there to answer any questions you may have.  You never feel like he’s rushing to get you out of his office either, because he TRULY CARES.  I think everyone needs Dr. Mike!”

What did you used to feel like?

“Hell.  I always felt like a fleet of trucks had run over me.  For months all I wanted to do was lay in bed or sit in my chair.  I was unable to stand for a long period of time so we ate out a lot as cooking was a big chore.”

How do you feel now?

“Much better.  I can get out of bed and chairs without pain.  It used to hurt so bad to turn over in bed.  My back and shoulders was always in pain.  Now I can go for walks, shopping without a lot of discomfort.  If I over-do it – I know my limits – I hurt the next day so I try to do as I should.  I’m a long way from being in the health I know I can be but I’m a lot better than I was 2 years ago. “
