#132 One Conversation

           When I was in 9th grade I made a decision that would guide the next 6 years.  I was under the care of a family of orthodontists in Fullerton and thought that putting wires on teeth would be a great profession to be part of.  I went through high school with that in mind.  I majored in general biology at UC Irvine in order to go to dental school.  Needless to say I changed my mind, a singular event that occurred the Friday night prior to the day I was scheduled to take my Dental Admissions Test (DAT).  I simply never showed up for that test.  Why?  It was, as it always is, a woman’s fault.

            My fiancée of two years at that time, who would become my wife that same summer, suffered from such severe and unrelenting headaches that when I met her she would take 16-18 Excedrin per day.  This habit would later lead to ulcers that brought her uncomfortably close to death due to severe anemia.  This was the same habit that actually did cause her grandmother to die of a bleeding ulcer.  But my fiancée found help from a chiropractor.  It didn’t cure the problem, but it helped tremendously and just perhaps, it may have save her life by allowing her to reduce her medication intake.  And it motivated me. 

            To make a very long story very short, I went through chiropractic college, internship, several years working for another chiropractor and all the headaches of starting and running my own practice to help people, and along the way I have found that there are many different types of people that I can help.  I assume I have helped you with something.  I have also helped folks with migraines, headaches, back pain, neck pain, arm pain, sciatic nerve pain, herniated discs, degenerated discs, scoliosis, whiplash, seizures, ear infections, pneumonia, asthma, partial paralysis, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot problems, double vision (twice), breach babies, transverse babies, sunny side up babies, back pain of pregnancy, Bell’s palsy, vertigo, sports injuries, improved athletic performance, dislocated shoulders, and many other conditions.  How did I do all of this?  Simply, I adjusted their subluxations.  The subluxation spares no one and causes much suffering.  The adjustment…one of the most amazing healing tools discovered by man. 

            I have helped reduce and eliminate pain, improve mobility, slow and stop spinal degenerative joint disease, and even saved and prolonged life.  Each time I have had the privilege to do this it has started with a conversation.  Recently we started a fun promotion to ask you, help you, and motivate you to create more of these conversations between me and the people you care most about. 

            I ask each patient to help create just one conversation.  Keep your eyes and ears open.  Carry the referral cards.  Tell them about the referral code on www.drlindwall.com.  A $50 exam, x-rays, report, massage, and adjustment should speak entirely for itself. 

                                                               One conversation.  Thank you.

    After writing an article per week for a year, I just kept going.  These are most of my collection.  They are written with my existing patients in mind, so some stuff may seem odd or unusual, but would make perfect sense to those who know chiropractic and who know me.  Enjoy and share!  For my personal blog visit:

What Our Patients Have To Say

     I used to suffer severe headaches and migraines on a daily basis, usually all day.  I managed to work in an office because I had to.  When I went home at the end of the day I would often close the shades and go to bed.  I could not plan weekend events because I simply never knew how I was going to feel tomorrow.  If there were a special event such as a birthday or wedding, I would begin to medicate myself two weeks in advance to give myself the best chance of making the event.
     Friends and fellow church-goers had been trying to get me to see Dr. Rick for some time before I finally gave in.  Looking back, I don’t know why I waited.  Within a month, I was headache free.  I couldn’t remember what it was like to not feel pain.  I could do whatever I wanted and not live in fear of the headache.  This was a miracle for me, but the story does not end here.
     An opportunity came up for us to adopt a newborn baby girl not long after I began chiropractic care.  This baby was particularly important to me and my husband because her mother is a relative.  Tragically, her mother was also a drug user and did drugs during her pregnancy.  If we could not adopt the baby she would have been put into the foster system since the biological mother was incapable of raising her.
     To keep a long story short, we did adopt her and she is doing fantastically.  There is no sign of any effect of the drugs on her as of yet, and with God’s help, there never will be.  We think that is because of the vast amounts of love and attention she gets from us, her real mommy and daddy.
     What does this have to do with chiropractic?  The reality is that without chiropractic, I would still be nearly an invalid with headaches.  I COULD NOT HAVE TAKEN CARE OF AN INFANT OR RAISED A YOUNG CHILD.  THEREFORE, SHE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THE OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE THAT MY HUSBAND AND I WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR HER.  MY DAUGHTER’S LIFE IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE SOMEBODY MADE ME GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR. 
     You need to tell everyone you know what you know about chiropractic.  Who knows who’s life you will change too.

     Hello, My name is Andrew and I am a happy, healthy one year old.  But I wasn’t so happy or healthy when I first met Dr. Rick a few months ago.  I had been having problems with my ears for four months, I couldn’t sleep at night and I was miserable.  We’d been to the doctor lots of times but nothing was helping.  In fact, all the medicines the doctor had tried seemed to make me worse instead of better!  Both the regular doctor and the Ear-Nose and Throat doctor said that if the antibiotics didn’t work, then they’d just have to put tubes in.  Now my Mom and dad weren’t about to let them do surgery on me, especially since they had been reading and learned that tubes can cause more problems than they solve.  My mom and dad did a lot of praying.  Then my mom heard that sometimes babies who have a traumatic birth like mine have ear trouble.  You see when I was born they used a vacuum extractor and forceps to pull me out.  I guess all that yanking on my head, hurt my neck.  She also heard that chiropractic care can be the answer.  Now she was skeptical because she couldn’t imagine a chiropractor helping ear infections!?!  But at that point she was willing to try anything!!  Happily, a few weeks of adjustments and my ears were all cleared up.  In addition, I no longer had a stiff neck or shoulders and my whole personality was happier.  I have to tell all babies who have ear troubles, don’t let them give you tubes until you at least try chiropractic care first.  After all, it can’t hurt and if you’re like me, you could be perfectly well with no drugs and no surgery.  In my family, we thank God for Dr. Rick, because I feel better, my mom and dad are happier and sometimes, I even sleep through the night.
