By a stroke of fate a new family moved in next door to me. Little did I know that this family would change my life forever. I had heard somehow that the husband of the new family was a chiropractor. I decided to talk to him. I mentioned to him about my scoliosis and he told me that he is a specialized chiropractor, an Atlas Orthogonist. I didn’t know quite what that I meant, but I kept it in mind.
I was still on the fence about the treatment my mother and I had recently gone to see. Before making up our minds my mother suggested we make an appointment at my neighbor’s office to see if he could do anything for my scoliosis.
My mother and I met with Dr. Greg (my neighbor) at his office. I told him my story and where I was at with my scoliosis. I explained to him the problems I have had (pain, injuring myself, muscles feeling weak, etc…). Dr. Greg asked if I had ever sustained injuries to my spine. That was an interesting question because I had.
I was always a very active child and was always injuring myself in some shape or form. I remember one incident as a child where I had been riding in one of those metal red wagons. I couldn’t have been more than four or five. My friend was pulling the wagon with me in it along the sidewalk and I guess the sidewalk was uneven. The wagon tipped over and I fell onto my back. Another incident occurred during recess in elementary school. I must have been around seven by this time. Keep in mind playgrounds at this time didn’t have all the ground padding that we have today. The playgrounds I played on were metal and wood. Anyhow, it was my turn to go down the firepole that we had on our school playground. As I was reaching out for the firepole the bell signaling the end of recess rang and startled me. Instead of grasping the firepole and sliding down I grasped air, lost my footing, and fell onto the hard ground… on my back!
So the question that Dr. Greg asked about had I ever sustained injury to my back / spine was very interesting. Could that have something to do with my scoliosis? Could that have played a part? The answer surprisingly would be very interesting.
Dr. Greg explained the Atlas Orthogonal technique to me in detail. He explained how this treatment works and how it might help me. First though, we needed to do a series of x-rays.
When fate brought Dr. Greg into my life, it was like my prayers had been answered. I wanted to find a non-surgical technique to help my scoliosis and through Atlas Orthogonal I found just what I was looking for and more! I can't wait to share with you how Atlas Orthogonal has changed my life, but I want my story to be easy to read. So we will stop here for today, but make sure to stop by tomorrow when I will share more of my story and more about this awesome treatment that actually works!!! :)
