Fibromyalgia patient seeks improvement - Vancouver, WA Chiropractic 98661

I recently had a patient diagnosed with FM / Fibromyalgia and after 4 weeks of conservative chiropractic in Vancouver, WA she experienced a 60% reduction in symptoms and reported a better quality of life. Chiropractic works.

 

Here is a great article on how chiropractic can help patients with Fibromyalgia.

Numerous studies have been conducted analyzing the benefits of chiropractic care in fibromyalgia patients. A 1985 study asked 81 fibromyalgia patients to indicate drug or alternative treatments that best relieved their pain. Chiropractic care scored high in this study. Another study examined the effectiveness of chiropractic care in relieving fibromyalgia symptoms. After just 15 treatments, fibromyalgia patients suffered from less pain and fatigue, and actually enjoyed better sleep quality. (read more)

Here is a Case study published by Matt McCoy. It still amazes me that we can get such great results with the use of our hands to help re-establish balance in the bodies internal healing mechanism. When the Cortex, libic and brain stem are balanced the patient will express health and healing like no other care. We call this a WholisTIC approach.

CASE STUDY

 

Improvement in a Patient with Fibromyalgia Following Knee Chest Upper Cervical Specific Care:  A Case Report

   

Christopher Bennett DC Bio & Nicholas Tedder BSc, DC Bio   

 

Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research ~ Issue 1 ~ March 15, 2012 ~ Pages 27-30 

 

Abstract

---

Objective:  To review outcomes of upper cervical chiropractic care on a patient with fibromyalgia.

 

Clinical Features:  The patient was a 64 year old woman with the chief complaint of fibromyalgia diagnosed 6 years before presentation.  She also had complaints of sleep apnea, loss of coordination, glaucoma, degenerative disc disease, and changes in bowel habits.  After a thorough examination was done, it was determined that the patient had an upper cervical subluxation of C1.  This was determined by cervical radiographs, paraspinal thermography, prone leg length analysis, and postural assessment.

 

Intervention and Outcome:  The patient received Knee Chest Upper Cervical care for three months and at the time of this study had 80 percent relief of symptoms and an improvement in energy level.

 

Conclusions:  Although no definite conclusions can be drawn from one single case study, this study does show improvement of a patient presenting with fibromyalgia syndrome.  This study does warrant the need for a larger study such as a randomized controlled clinical trial to further understand the benefits of chiropractic on those with fibromyalgia.

Personal Care Products

 

Diethanolamine (DEA) is found in over 600 home and personal care products such as soaps, lotions, cosmetics, bubble baths, laundry and dishwashing detergents.

In 1997 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Toxicity Program found that when DEA was applied to the skin of rats, it resulted in clear evidence of carcinogenic (cancerous) activity.

 

Propylene Glycol is a substance used in antifreeze solutions and hydraulic fluids as a powerful solvent.  Ironically enough, it is also found in childhood vaccinations, cosmetics, toothpastes, shampoos, deodorants, lotions, and even processed foods (including pet foods).

Like DEA, Propylene Glycol has been shown in studies to be absorbed through the skin and cause many problems such as kidney damage, liver abnormalities, skin cell growth inhibition, damaged cell membranes, rashes, respiratory damage, immune system deficiency and central nervous system depression.[i]

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is perhaps the most common of the three chemicals and by no means any less toxic.  SLS is used as a surfactant to break down the surface tension of water. This degreaser is used in practically every soap, shampoo and toothpaste on the market today.

SLS has been used in studies to induce mutation in bacteria and to irritate skin.  It has also shown to enter the heart, liver, lungs and brain from skin contact, and has been proven to maintain residual levels once inside these organs.[i]

The challenge will be staying engaged for a lifetime. The foundation you create will determine your outcome. Here is another testimonial that just came in.

 

 

“Dr Troy,

            In my reading to lose weight I have come across some information you could use in your talks.  The three most deadly ingredients you should avoid are mineral oil, propylene glycol, and sodium laureth sulfate (sls – many health food stores now have products that say no sls).   Every shaving cream, shampoo, soap, and lotions have these ingredients in them and it’s very hard to find products without one or more of these ingredients. Foods that you eat even have these three ingredients.

 

I have lost 130 lbs with diet, exercise, and back to God’s food and natural products (none of the three ingredients above).  I use filters on my shower and drinking water.  No Aspartame, artificial sweeteners, no soda, milk, (I was a big milk drinker), or bread.  I walk fast 1 hour to 1 ½ hours per day and have started doing some weights to strengthen my back, chest, and leg muscles.  On September 26, 2008 I weighed 362 according to Kaiser Permanente and today September 25, 2009 I weighted 226.  I started my weight loss Dec 10, 2008 and I hope to lose another 30 lbs.  I lost 14” on my waist, wear 38 pants from size 52 waist, and now can fit into large size shirts. I feel a ton better!

 

Your talks planted the seed and when I finally quit eating lots of food, exercising, and watching what I put in my body I started the weight loss process.  Thanks for the great start.

 

Congratulations on your daughter and family!  It really changes your life doesn’t it?  I hope all is well with you and your family and practice!

 

God Bless!

 

-terry”

Hey Ladies!!

 

Remember this Friday October 9th is our next mom's group.  The weather man says it's going to be nice on Friday.  I'm planning on having our last outdoor meeting.  We will do same spot near the playground at Ester Short Park.  I am changing the time to 11:00am.  Remember to bring a blanket. 

 

Our website guy is in the process of posting the pictures from our cooking class. They turned out great :)  The cooking class was a great success.  I had A LOT of good feedback.  We had a great turnout, learned an abundant amount of information, and had a blast. 

 

As far as the next mom's group..... I've had a number of mom's suggest combining the group meeting with a play date.  We could have a meeting for the first 20 minutes and then play the remaining time.  I have numerous healthy topics to discuss.  I was thinking of choosing the dates for the next six months and if moms would like to volunteer their home for a mom’s group/play date that would be great.  We also are in the works for planning other exciting events like a clothing exchange party, mom's night out, another cooking class and much, much more. 

 

The next mom's group/play dates are:

 

November- Wednesday the 4th @ 3:00pm

December- Wednesday the 2nd @ 3:00pm

See you there.

This last week has been amazing for me and my family. We got to spend a lot of time together and just hang out as a family. What a blessing, I could not help but think how thankful I am for the abundant life we have been given. Every day I wake up and wonder how I can share these blessings with our friends, patients and community.

 

The focus of our office this last month has been to get every practice member to the Makeover this weekend, Saturday, October 17^th. Right now, we have over 250 people confirmed for this amazing event.

 

I am so excited to share the stage with 3 time world champion and 2008 Olympic Wrestling coach Lee Kemp. What an honor to represent our country and for me to be able to share that stage with him.

 

Leigh Jaynes will be there and focus on how to inspire women to be the best at what they do. She truly has an amazing story. You will learn how applying the Maximized Living Principals has changed her life.

 

Dr. TJ Osborne from San Jose, California will be speaking on creating the Life of Your Dreams.

 

My self and out team are so excited to share this once in a life time chance to get you and your loved ones focused on you health and longevity. Do what ever you can to be there. Rumor has it that I write a “Mean Doctors Note” if you need to be excused from the Epic event. We will get you a note.

 

Here is another amazing Testimony:

 

“In July of 2004 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.  Like many people who have just been given news of this kind from their doctor, I asked, “What can I do to get rid of the Diabetes?”  I was told that we would be starting with two prescriptions.  One was for the diabetes and the other was a high blood pressure medication.  I quickly reminded my doctor that I did not have high blood pressure.  She then told me that the medication was actually to help protect my kidneys from the diabetes medication.  When I asked how long I would need this medication, she stated, “For the rest of your life.”

 

As time progressed I made several dietary changes, but just began to accept that this was going to be with me forever. 

 

In August of 2007, while attending the Clark County Fair, my wife and I happened across the Absolute Life Chiropractic booth and my wife had a free nerve scan done.  Although I was not interested in doing one myself, my wife and the young lady at the booth convinced me to do so.  The results were very eye opening.  I agreed to an office visit and x-rays. 

 

What has happened in the past year is nothing short of a miracle to me.  Not only has my spine curve improved by at least 50%, but my nerve scan has improved by even more.  But the GREATEST impact on my life has come from the Maximized Living approach Dr. Troy teaches.  I plugged into the talks on Saturdays and have attended the Extreme Makeover twice.  The information learned has changed my life forever.  In March I attended the very first Run/Walk Club, and I am happy to still be a regular member of the Club today.

 

Before Run/Walk Club I had been sedentary for over 15 years.  Today I walk many miles per week.  In July of 2008 I participated in the Lacamas Lake 4 mile event, and I am currently preparing for the Portland Marathon on October 5, 2008.  Even more exciting is that I have lost over 20 lbs, and my diabetes medication has been cut in half.  I am able to see the day when very soon I will be off all medications and DIABETES FREE!

 

I owe a great debt to Dr. Troy Dreiling and the Maximized Living way of life because it’s given me my life back!   Jordan “
