CBP in Endicott
In the first five to six years of my practice I helped a lot of people get out of pain by manipulating their spines, loosening stuck joints which allowed fluid to be pumped in and out better to rid their systems of waste and bring in fresh nutrients. I also saw a number of nutritional miracles in my practice due to the advanced training I had in this area, but no chiropractic miracles.
Then on successive Monday mornings in 1999 two patients I had been treating came into my office carrying X-ray films under their arms. Each had come originally after sustaining whiplash injuries, had been under my care for some time, had gotten temporary relief with each visit, and had experienced flare ups over the week-ends while I was out of town. One had seen her medical doctor and the other had been to the emergency room. As I looked at the films and compared them to the ones I had read when they first came to see me I could see no long term improvement: each still had reversed curves putting the weight of their head forward, onto the discs, painfully squeezing them towards nerves and making premature degeneration inevitable unless correction was made.
I realized that standard chiropractic adjusting was not enough. I started studying with the most published researchers in the profession in prestigious journals such as Spine and others on what normal alignment was and how to get there.
By November of 2001 I was a Distinguished Fellow of CBP, (Chiropractic Biophysics) and had totally transformed my practice.
Not only are my patients getting better, more lasting relief from pain numbness and tingling, but their before-and-after x-rays show dramatic improvements. Best of all was the surprise of patients telling me of unexpected benefits: children who stopped wetting their beds, adults who did not have to get up as often at night to use the bathroom, a patient who had been told by medical doctors, "you’ll never be able to have babies," having one, two patients with constriction in the throat and one with difficulty swallowing reporting their problems had cleared up, a patient whose ADD improved, patients who no longer needed their inhalers for asthma and even one whose blood pressure dropped requiring his medical doctor to take him off his medication.
Now I still provide temporary relief from severe pain, but more and more of my patients find long-term correction of posture offering a new lease on a healthy life.
