I love my chiropractor! My first experience of a chiropractor was when I was about 7 yrs old. I fell off a climbing equipment and hurt my back – the first place my Mum took me to was the chiropractor. I don’t have any strong memories about this experience but some 30 years later, after suffering from migraines for a number of years, I was back in the chiropractor’s office.
 
For 3 years, I made regular visits and noticed a big difference in my back, neck, shoulders and with my migraines. Then I moved country. I decided this was a great time to get fit, running 7 kms 3x/week, weight training with a personal trainer and generally leading a healthy lifestyle, until my lower back seized up to the point that the sciatic nerve became pinched. Anyone who has had sciatica will know the pain it causes – my right knee and ankle became swollen and I had trouble walking, sleeping, sitting and climbing stairs.
 
After a visit to the local doctor, I was referred to Physiotherapy. After 6 sessions of physio, the condition improved but not to the point where I could resume my previous lifestyle. I visited another doctor and asked for a referral to a chiropractor. This time, I went to see Dr. Alex Ling.
 
After a detailed consultation and 3 weeks of treatment, I am back running 4 kms 2x/week and swimming 1 km 3/4x/week. My sciatica has reduced greatly and my lower back is loose and free.
 
I have always thought my chiropractor was wonderful but this experience has convinced me that I wouldn’t be able to survive without him. Now I visit less often but I will continue to receive regular treatment to make sure that I don’t end up with the same problems I had before.
 
My bones are like my teeth or car – they need constant servicing and maintenance to ensure that they work properly and stay healthy. I always feel like a new woman when I leave Dr. Ling’s office. Dr. Ling and his staff are always so friendly and I feel like I can ask any questions and discuss any matter no how ridiculous it may be. I LOVE MY CHIROPRACTOR!
