Magic hands

I visited Horikawa san because of a lower back injury from SUP(Stand Up Paddleboard).

I visited 2 other Chiropractors in Izu, and others in Yamaguchi prefecture:

- They were not Gonstead qualified.

- They all did some form of massage.

- They didn't use any tools, and did the same routine.

- There was no spine adjustment.

- The pain didn't get better.

My back was stiff, you could grab the muscles on the back: it was hard and inflamed.

First visit with Horikawa san; he used the tool on my back, including looking at my X-ray, and adjusted my hip and spine.

After 2 weeks those hard muscles became soft again.

Next visit with Horikawa san; the muscles in the upper back were now in pain. He adjusted it. And, those muscles are now painfree.

Next visit with Horikawa san; I sat for too long and clicked my lower back, which Horikawa san re-adjusted including my neck. That also, is now pain free.

Horikawa san has magic hands, if you have tried other chiropractors and nothing changed: try Horikawa san.

It felt helpless before meeting him, nothing was improving. However, you also need to change your environment and routine to aid your body in recovery. I caused misalignments after visiting Horikawa san because of my bad sitting and sleeping habits.

Also, stretching and strengthening seems to be helping me with back pain and mobility.

Each time I am in Tokyo, I will try to visit Horikawa san for maintenance.

Kind regards,

Craig

魔法の手ではありません。(^_^;)

アジャストメントはほぼ一瞬の出来事です。それにもかかわらず腰や背中、首などが楽に感じるのが不思議だと思う人がいるのは確かです。最初の頃に痛みや違和感の強い方ほど変化を大きく感じることが多いです。次第に良くなってくると徐々に違いが分かりにくくなってきます。これは、アジャストメントの効果がなくなっているのではなく、骨盤や背骨のバランスが良くなっているからです。実はアジャストメント後に何も感じなくなるぐらいの安定した状態になるのがメンテナンスとして理想的です。当オフィスでも定期的に長期間通っている方は、とても安定した状態を維持されています。

Craigさんは、静岡県の伊東市からわざわざ受けにきていただいています。最近では、姿勢やエクササイズなどセルフケアも見直していただき、徐々に安定した状態を維持できる期間が長くなってきました。貴重なコメントありがとうございました。
