Better Relationships
How did this burden our family relationships? When you're in so much pain you cannot sleep, mornings come too soon and just when you're so exhausted you might finally be able to rest for a little. Patience is pretty much non-existent when you're exhausted, and as you get up and try to go about your day with that awful burning pain in your back and down your leg, it's really easy to lose your cool when children are being their wonderful selves. Ever try to get through the day with a migraine? I have, and I failed miserably so many times. The light is so blinding you can't keep your eyes open from the pain. Your ears feel like a speaker has blown out every time someone speaks or makes a sound. Just standing up was enough extra pressure to make me fight throwing up, so my kids learned to fend for themselves on those days (which were too many in number). I felt like a horrible mother, but I was giving all I had just to get through the day. If you've read my chiropractic story, you know that the more I got adjusted using traditional chiropractic methods, the worse I got. I even was adjusted in the upper cervical area, using an upper cervical adjustment but without having someone who understood the rest of the methods to know when NOT to adjust me. Once I found someone who did, my life changed drastically. Why does that matter? I was able to SLEEP, and without pain or tossing and turning to be comfortable, so I woke RESTED. The migraines (which often happened after getting adjusted) went away along with that sciatica, and my patience levels increased. That led to doing more with my children, more laughter and smiles, and less disappointment. This is why I share this technique with the world. It's not just about the adjustment or pain. It's about the cascade of benefits that happens after the adjustment that counts.
