Dr. Paul pulled me out of an abyss of pain and got me walking again. At the end of October 2019, I fell while roller skating and when I hit the floor, I knew right away that I had badly hurt myself. I felt a ripple up through my spine and then had an immediate headache on the top of my head. Three weeks later I was in NC for Thanksgiving when Sciatica came on. That is the worst! So much excruciating pain and I could not stand for more than a minute or walk more than a few feet to the bathroom. I could only lay flat on my back or if I was seated, one foot had to be on the chair seat to angle my hips to a tolerable position. The only way I could walk was hunched over. I looked like a little old lady in a crosswalk who can only see her feet. Twice while I was in NC, I visited 2 different chiropractors (based on availability). I used to be treated by both and the adjustments always helped me in the past. Unfortunately, BOTH missed what was source of my not being able to stand up straight. I managed to get back to California with wheelchair assistance in the airports and the very next day went to my General Doctor who ordered pain meds & X-rays. A chiropractor friend wrote me a prescription for an MRI. All that happened in the first week of December 2020. Turns out that I am the proud owner of 2 bulging disks! (and a wheelchair) Yayyyyyy. L5-S1 and L4-L5 3.2 & 2.2 protrusions, respectively. All of this STILL did not help me stand up straight to walk. I could drive but was unable to walk across the parking lot to the Dr's office. Sleep was painful and out of reach, I was frustrated and miserable. Then I remembered.... DR PAUL IS MOBILE!!! He makes house calls! I reached out to him and he got back to me right away, came to my house THAT NIGHT and set up his table in the living room. I am not sure what the technique is called but he checks your body by looking at how your feet line up with each other. Misalignments affect posture and balance in the body and can show up as one leg being shorter than the other when lying face down. Dr. Paul looked at my feet and did some double checking and said "oh, your sacrum is out of place" and proceeded with the adjustment. That totally made sense to me because I landed square on my butt when I fell. When he finished a few minutes later, Dr. Paul told me "Stand up and take a few turns around the room." I gingerly got off the table and slowly stood up. ALL THE WAY UP! I was standing straight up for the first time in a month!!!!! Then I walked all around the room, repeatedly! I was and still am extremely happy!!! Because I started HEALING, I was also able to stop taking the meds a lot sooner than I expected. :D *Side Note: A few appointments later, I asked Dr. Paul to look at my cat's limp. He adjusted her too and her limp was gone by next morning. Because of Dr. Paul's help, I was able to CAREFULLY return to work in mid January of 2020. I have been treated by 7 different Chiropractors over the last 40 years. I trust it and it works. I do not have the words to fully articulate how grateful I am that Dr. Paul is my new Chiropractor. He is the BEST! :D
