Try Network Chiropractic for Pain

[Jujulee]

Hey guys,I was wondering if you had tried or heard of Network Chiropractic. I'm still twitching, buzzing, shaking 24/7, but right now it's the pain stuff that is really bothering me. The pain in my back is almost constant (+ numbness and tingling in the same area), and it also radiates to my neck and my chest sometimes; I also have pain that comes and goes (without any good reason) in my arms and my hands. I don't know what the heck is going on, however the only thing I know is that if I don't take the proper measures to help myself, obviously no one will do it.I've always been skeptical about alternative medicine in general, but who knows, maybe it can help? A friend of mine has recently talked to me about network chiropractic, which is supposed to be a gentle method, in other words not as aggressive as the traditional chiropractic. I've watched a couple of videos on youtube about it and I'm not totally convinced, but it seems to help a lot of people so I'm willing to give it a try. My friend who suffers from fibromyalgia also told me he bought an infrared sauna, and it helps him a lot with the pain. Since taking hot showers also helps me, I thought it could be a good idea to get one of those little saunas myself. Do you guys know how safe is the infrared used in those saunas? Oh... one last thing... If you have a good meditation technique that worked for you, feel free to share it with me! Who knows, it might work...

Chrissi, you're one of the reasons why I decided to try new therapies (you seem to do so much better since you started yours). I'm always complaining about a twitch here, a cramp there, but don't do anything about it... Of course, maybe there is just nothing that can be done, but if I don't try anything, how could I ever know?Thanks Bill! I'm certainly going to take a look at SAM's previous posts. In fact, both of you guys helped me to become a bit more open-minded about certain things Anyway, a little meditation/relaxation can't do any harm...Take care,J.

I bought an infrared sauna off of overstock.com when I first started venturing into alternative medicine. Their saunas were cheap and shipping was only $1 with no sales tax (win-win-win). I found it very beneficial because it not only relaxed me but saunas are good for detoxification as well. The skin is the largest organ of the body and it is the easiest way for the body to get rid of toxins. Otherwise we just rely on our liver and kidneys. In today's world our body's are subjected to a lot of pollution, chemicals and other nasty things that shouldn't be in our food and water. If you believe that BFS is in some way related to autoimmune then its not too hard to connect the dots tying toxins to an overloaded immune system. A sauna won't solve all of your problems, but it definitely will help take you in the right direction. It may even bring you relief in some of your other symptoms. Keep in mind that some toxins which have been linked to neurological stress such as heavy metals need supplements to bond with in order to make them water soluble. As far as the gentle chiropractic techniques, I can vouch for those as well. They are far more effective and concentrated on the root cause of what is mis-aligned rather than the old method of just cracking everything and hoping it all falls back into place. I've used chiropractors that use both methods (2 of each actally) and the gentle technique chiropractors both ran circles around the 2 that were more traditional. I was skeptcal at first too, but when I get results I go with what works. As far as meditations I actually self guide most of the time because when you look internally the power of your mind is focused and amplified on whatever you intend. The key to getting there is to relax to a level where your brain waves slow down into the alpha-theta range. Beta is your normal awake state (fastest) and delta is where you are asleep (slowest). Meditation is harder than most newbies expect because the typical American lifestyle is structured to foster a mind-set that is constantly streaming from one thought to the next. Meditation is about calming the mind and bringing inner peace. When you first start you'll notice that your mind almost has a mind of its own. Your conciousness will say 'ok thoughts, its time to calm and slow down now,' and your mind will not want to listen. It will jump from one thought to the next to the next... Keep at it and eventually it will get the message. As you relax your body and focus on slow deep breaths it will eventually settle down. Just try to draw out the space between your thoughts. Extend that period of time longe and longer. The mind is not used to this so it may take a little while but keep at it. You will know when you are in a good meditative state when you think about moving an arm or leg but don't want to because you are so comfortable. You'll be very awake and aware, just in a very relaxed. For beginners it is best to start with working on bringing in peace and calm the mind. Once you get good at that you can start exploring with setting intentions.Among the benefits of meditating on a regular basis you will find that your stress levels are lower, metabolism will usually improve, inspiration will come easier and your intuitive abilities will improve. You don't need to meditate for very long 10, 15 or 20 minutes a day is all it takes to make a dramatic difference in your life. I really wish I had begun much sooner, but better late than never!

Due to S.A.M's suggestion a while back, I have been seeing a chiropractor who practices applied kinesiology. I can hardly go two weeks without wanting to see him, because each visit does me so much good. He also consults me on my diet and other areas of health (for example, my cortisol levels are really bad at night, and my DHEA is very high and I practically have adrenal fatigue). He also does a lot of adjustments and I feel much better when I leave the office. My twitching has definitely improved since I have seen him.Mitra

SAM seems to influence many people around here lol.Anyway, I'm glad the chiropractor helped you Mitra. It's very encouraging! I hope my chiropractor will be as competent as yours (actually I read and heard good things about her… but I'll see for myself). Take care,J.
