Bev's Experience
I have cleidocranial dysplasia, a very rare condition. I have had multiple surgeries to correct skeletal issues, including surgery for severe hip dysplasia when I was 6 and 7 years old. This has resulted in severe pain, and I was losing my ability to walk without daily pain medication and a cane. My Osteopathic Practitioner identified scar tissue as the issue and recommended several tools of treatment, including castor oil and a microcurrent machine, along with treatments in the office.
Osteopathic treatments gave me hope and healing. The medical profession was looking at more surgery as the solution which I did not want. My Osteopathic Practitioner looks at the whole body, not just the hip pain, and believes in a team approach. She always starts by asking what is going on in my life, so she looks at my mental health as well.
I thought I was headed for a wheelchair and now I have set a goal to walk 1 km without pain by the end of the summer. I do not believe that this would have been possible without Osteopathic treatment!
