Miracles can happen Naturally ... through chiropractic.
Almost 12 years ago, I slipped on a wet floor working in the NICU at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital. I was immediately placed on disability. Through a Workers Comp claim, I went through 3 specialists (one diagnosed Bursitis, the other a shoulder strain, until they were forced to do an MRI) I missed 7 months of work and the pain never subsided (headaches, neck and shoulder pain plus numbness) I spent my days attending physical therapy. massage therapy, and acupuncture to no avail. This was financially, socially and mentally ruining my life. With the MRI came the diagnosis of Herniated C-5, 6 & 7 discs, the push to have surgery, and the end of my career as a NICU RT.
An acquaintance who lives in Mission Beach told me about a Chiropractor (Dr. David Libs) who basically saved his life. He was disabled from Lumbar disc problems following a career as a Navy Seals andd had seen 3 other Chiropractors before. With a specialized treatment from Dr Libs, he was able to regain his life, without pain. I took his referral under advisement. the following week, I was driving down Grand Ave. to the Surgeons office for my pre-surgery exam when I saw the banner hanging on Dr. Libs' office. It read "Want an Alternative to Surgery?" I called him and scheduled an initial exam.
His office was like a sanctuary for me. Within a few weeks of starting treatments with Dr. Libs, the pain was tolerable. (He asks you to rate your pain 1-10 and I remember it going from a 10 (excruciating) to a 5 in a short period of time.) The numbness went away in short order and I was ready to go back to work within a few months. While my career as a Respiratory therapist is over (consistently standing with my neck bent over the babies aggravated my condition), I have worked full time in Real Estate for the past 11 years and have regained a full and active life, including working out at "Boot Camp" 4-5 days a week. The Surgeon still wants to cut on me and they have cancelled my negotiated Worker Comp claim. I will continue to see David a few times a month to keep me "fine turned" until he retires (I know Dr. David will train Jay to be just as good!)
I love referring friends, family and clients to Dr. David and Dr. Lori. It always gets me positive returns and happy results for those I care about!
