 "If
Only I'd known Then What I know now.
In 1992 I had the first tingling in my fingers in my right
hand. I went to an orthopedist and was given nerve conduction
tests. I was told that there was nothing wrong and I was given
a splint to wear.
By 1994 my hands were in so much pain I went to another orthopedist
and was given two types of splints, one for my wrist and one
for tendonitis in my thumb. I had ultrasound therapy, hot
wax therapy, massage and medicines. I was given many different
pills; neuron tin was given to me for the nerves in my hand,
but all it did was make me lethargic. I later found out it
was an epilepsy medication. I was also given creams to numb
the pain; over the counter creams and other specially mixed
up concoctions whipped together like from a mad scientist's
laboratory.
In 1999 I had surgery for carpal tunnel on my right wrist.
The first surgery didn't do much. I soon found myself in excruciating
pain and I ended up having exploratory surgery one year later.
There was some relief, but I still suffered from debilitating
pain and was told that I was permanently partially disabled.
I had little hope of any long-term relief.
Then,
after suffering from back pain that left my 40-year-old body
feeling like a 70 year old woman, I went to Dr. Berk. He took
an extensive history of my physical ailments and after adjusting
my body I suddenly felt young and agile again. I asked if
he could help my carpal tunnel and he started working on my
hands and wrists.
Today
I visit Dr. Berk's once a month or so and receive adjustments.
I still feel pain, but it is nothing compared to the pain
I was feeling the ten years prior. And when I do feel pain,
I make an appointment with Dr. Berk and I experience relief.
I believe that if I had started working with Dr. Berk in 1992
I would not have been through the ordeal of two surgeries
and many unsuccessful visits to orthopedists and occupational
therapists.
I recommend Dr. Berk
highly. He has changed my physical and mental life."
