Yesterday I was able to meet with Kristina. She is a chiropractor in Salt Lake City who specializes in women's health and infertility. Yes, you read that right...a chiropractor with that specialty. I was intrigued, and I'm already trying the homeopathic method, so I made an appointment. I was referred to her by a friend of a friend. (thanks Sarah) Kristina and I talked for over an hour about different methods of acheiving health and healing. It was interesting.
For those who don't know, I work in the medical field so I have a love and appreciation for western medicine and hope to work in the field for a long time. Most people in the medical community seem look at chiropractic methods as merely a position above massage therapy, with no 'real' treatment. Perhaps both ends claim too much. I have recently found a new appreciation and acceptance of more natural ways and believe there can be a balance found. I explained to Kristina about this balance of treatment. She agreed.
The human body is amazing, and it's ability to heal and repair is something I continue to find facsinating. Kristina explained to me that she believes the nervous system has alot to do with how our bodies not only function, but how well it is able to heal and repair itself. She claims that if something in the system is off (alignment of vertebrae/subluxation), messages may not be delivered as effectly as it possibly could, which then affects how an organ/organ system may function. She also told me that if my pelvis isn't aligned, my uterus may not be placed in the proper position to conceive. She simply asked that I keep an open mind while working with her. I'll give anything a try at this point...I have so far.
I don't know if this woman will be able to help me conceive as she claims, but if anything...perhaps she can help with my low back pain?
The take away message for me was: In order for treatments to work more effectively (whatever treatment it may be), my body will function properly when all my systems are working together as well as they can. I DO believe that and I'm excited to work with Kristina this month and attempt to acheive more health...her way.
If anyone is interested in meeting with Kristina, she told me she would give free consultations, X-rays, and scans if you give my name when scheduling. Not a bad idea. She's terribly sweet and genuinely wanting to help as many women as possible.
Any thoughts?
I'm glad that you posted this so I can hear how it went! :) It sounds interesting and I'm glad it went well. Perhaps we can get together and you can tell me more about it and your new ways of living in your "types". :)
ReplyDeleteI concur...where is she?
ReplyDeleteJill, my uncle is a chiropractor. He lives in California and some of his patients stories have been published in a book because when doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with them, they turned to a chiropractor - were lead to my uncle - and he was able to cure them through adjustments. He prays a lot about his patients and I know that is how he is lead to help these people, so keep praying about it! I have been adjusted several times and I have let my uncle adjust Jaxon and I KNOW they have helped both of us! I'm glad you have had an open mind to it! Keep going, it will help your body!
