Before my partner had heard of Dr. David, he did not feel his chiropractic experience with another local practitioner was helping him. When our daughter mentioned that a friend of hers was going to Body of Light, my husband immediately called and made an appointment. He was impressed with the overall approach that spinal care leads to a healthier whole person.
At 48, I suffered with pain across my shoulder and in the area of my shoulder blade for years – the pain would come and go, and eventually became more present than absent. During December, I had a severe bout of stabbing pain in my left shoulder blade area where I had not experienced pain before -- it was time.
In January 2004, I also began seeing Dr. David. After the initial checkup and meeting to let me know how things looked, I was ready for my healing process to begin. Little did Dr. David and I know just how well my healing would proceed. Before seeing Dr. David, I was taking at least 2 ibuprofen every night and every day just to "take the edge off" Looking back, I didn't realize just how chronic the ache was. After about one month of adjustments (not cracking!), I was sitting on the bleachers at a high school basketball game and realized I was in zero pain. I sat there astonished for a moment. I am now entering my third month of care with Dr. David. My healing has truly been a wonderful experience. For example, I recently worked in the garden all day – that night my shoulder was aching terribly. The next morning, I woke up with only a little ache in my shoulder and by the time I was ready to go to work it was gone. That's when it became clear to me that my pains from gardening, stress, or anything else don't last as long as they used to. I don't have to take pain medication anymore because when the ache comes up it is not nearly as deep and intense. Are we talking about a miracle? Nope. My body and I have been given the opportunity to work together in a way that they have not in many years, and that opportunity has enabled my body's ability to heal. I have greater lung capacity than before, greater range in my motions, and my posture has improved while I'm sitting. I feel that I'm healing more rapidly in all ways. And, I am no longer experiencing chronic pain!
Becoming involved with Body of Light has been part of a whole movement that has improved my life. I encourage children, teenagers, young and old to make caring for your spine a part of your whole body/mind/soul practice.
Thank you Dr. David! Pamela DuVall
