Treating Chronic Back, Hip, Leg Pain, and Depression Success Story

Chronic Back, Hip, and Leg Pain and Depressed from Sleep Deprivation.

I would like to add my name and my story to those other grateful patients who have been helped by the advice and hands of Dr. Sharon Lark. I don’t want to exaggerate the ways Dr. Sharon has helped me so I will not try to explain every detail of all my symptoms. I will attempt to express the major ones.

For 3 years I lived with chronic back, hip, and leg pain. I was getting only 2-3 hours of continuous sleep per night. Because of this situation, I was very depressed and suffered from sleep deprivation. After lying, sitting, or standing for any length of time, I would have numbing in my left leg so severe I wanted to cry and many times I did. I also had headaches and took aspirin every day. I thought my headaches were due to lack of sleep or because of my constant pain. I had all the medical tests and even endured shots into my spine. After all that, the only advice I received from the medical doctors was to take pain medication, very strong painkillers. I refused.

I then tried massage and acupuncture. That made me feel wonderful but offered no long-term pain reduction results.

A wonderful person suggested that I make an appointment with Lark Chiropractic and thank God I was listening.

Right from the beginning I felt better and within weeks my headaches were gone. I am now able to sleep longer and on my left side, which I have not been able to do for years. I have joined a gym and am able to complete the simple exercises. I still have discomfort and even some pain in my left hip and leg but I now know what to do to recover. I have purchased a cushion for my chair at work and do my wiggle exercises several times during the day. I also have one at home and would recommend them to everyone.

I am a person who needs things simple, fast, and reasonable. This, I feel is the approach of Dr. Sharon Lark. She has never told me to stop doing activities I love such as gardening. I have modified that activity and do my warm-ups before any exercises. Thank you Dr. Sharon Lark for your concerns for me and for all the help you have provided. I feel I am getting my life back.

Auto Accident Relief Success Story

Auto Accident

I can recall the first day I came into this offer with my mother. My intentions were to get better but I didn’t think it would happen. As I looked at my posture printout and x-rays, I could not believe there was so much that was wrong. Although I didn’t understand the purpose of what was being done it didn’t keep me from asking.

My lower back was my main problem. I remember going to school not even being able to sit in my seat without being uncomfortable. In most cases, I would have to get up and stretch or walk around. With the pain I didn’t even want to walk around school and if I did I would have to sit down because of the pain. Being involved with softball was hard because I felt things in my back pop and I would just be really sore. It was just hard for me to do anything because it was uncomfortable to be on my feet or sitting down at lot.

Since the first day I walked into this office, until today I have noticed my progress. I have to think without the help of Dr. Sharon Lark how worse off I would be. All

it took on my part was doing the home workouts and coming in for adjustments.

Insomnia Induced by Chronic Pain Success Story

 

Loss of Sleep Due to Pain

“Life is the first gift, Love is the second, and Understanding the third.” –Marge Piercy

In my case the understanding part has come late in life. I am a 44 year old mother of 2 small children and only recently have I come to understand that health is ‘central’ to life and love… Without it you are left short. Busy with career and children, I neglected my health for years. Along with a chronic intestinal problem I suffered from neck and backaches and lack of sleep because of constant  repositioning.

I began visiting Lark Chiropractic and started and exercise program at the gym to strengthen my back and neck muscles. Exam and x-rays confirmed my poor posture and arthritic. My neck and head were bent forward and shoulders were rolled forward and down.

After treatment regime that included head weights, spinal molding, adjustments, and exercise. I began to see improvement. At 2 months, I am pain free. My posture and mobility are improved and I am sleeping through the night. The work at home is as important as the office visits. I understand that “correcting” spinal problems is a process that will take time. There are no “quick fixes” treatments for these conditions.

I appreciate the patients and grace that this office has shown in the disruption from toddlers. This is the only way I could get the help I needed. Thanks Dr. Sharon!

Migraine Success Story

Migraines

I started receiving care from Lark Chiropractic due to sever migraines. After one and a half months of care I no longer have migraines and my headaches are tolerable enough that I am no longer on any kind of medication for pain. Also I no longer am in need of sleeping pills at night to be able to relax enough to sleep. I am looking forward to my future treatment and correcting my spine and neck to be fully well again. It is a wonderful feeling to be drug free and pain free after 5 years!

Good luck to all else who wish to be drug free and pain free. Do the problem, it works!
