In 1997 I injured my lower back and was told that I had to quit doing regular housework, sports, and even school due to pain and lack of concentration from medications. After two epidurals, four cortisone shots, 81 trigger point injections, numerous oral medications that failed to ease any pain, physical therapy that didn't do much good, and six months of biweekly colchicines injections from an orthopedic specialist, I was still unable to lean forward or backward, sleep, or lift 20 pounds.
Upon referral, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Guy and began my regular chiropractic adjustments. Now, I can do just about everything I have missed out on for nearly five years! I am now able to ride horses, bike, camp, fish, and play golf and softball, clean house (unfortunately!), and even sleep through the night. I have tried so many other methods in an attempt to get my health back to normal. I was very surprised by the results and effectiveness of chiropractic and highly recommend it to others.
About 18 years ago I broke my finger while doing chores on my husband and I's family farm. The accident was so severe that the skin and fingernail were all that kept my finger attached to my hand, and I didn't have a joint in that finger. Furthermore, the whole finger was shorter than it used to be. The medical doctors told me that I would never have grip in that hand again because fingers work as a chorus, and since everything was stretched and torn in that finger, the damage would never be repaired. Then for other medical reasons, I began to see Dr. Guy. After he initially examined me, he asked what I had done to my elbow. The injury was so old, that I couldn't think of anything. But Dr. Coberly adjusted me anyway and focused on realigning my elbow. Amazingly, the grip in my right hand was immediately restored. Shortly after leaving his office, my arm from the elbow to my fingers began to tingle. I soon realized that his adjustment had just fixed an eighteen-year-old injury. So now I have the wonderful problem of adjusting to using two fully functioning hands. I was a predominantly right-handed person prior to my accident, and I'm excited to use it once again. What amazes me the most is that after all these years and medical doctors telling me that my hand could never be fixed, that one adjustment restored the muscles and nerves to make my finger and hand work properly once again.
