I find myself carrying Dr. Abblett's business cards in my purse to give away because I am constantly telling friends and acquaintances about my positive experience with him. When they go, they are just as impressed with what he can do for their health. He is a friendly guy who is incredibly good at what he does. He is also a model of good health himself and has a very active lifestyle - which is an inspiration to me.
I injured my back in a ski accident a few years ago - three lower back vertebrae had compression fractures. Doctors did not know whether I would ski again, but thanks to Dr. Abblett, my recovery was excellent, and the Xrays prove it. In fact, I'm enjoying skiing more than ever now.
When I got hurt, I had never seen a chiropractor before, but a friend told me about Dr. Abblett. He practices the Gonstead method of chiropractic, which is is more specific and technical than traditional chiropractic. He uses a temperature gauge device on your spine to detect heat/inflammation, which often indicates a pinched nerve. Based on that information, plus Xrays and careful examination, he gently adjusts only the areas that need it.
While waiting for my injury to heal, he located a problem in my neck that was causing occasional knots and pain in my shoulder for the last 15 years. It was from mild whiplash from an old auto accident. I haven't had shoulder pain since that day! I had no idea I could do anything about that, but living pain-free has been such an unexpected joy.
He is an expert on all joints, not just the spine. My friend's son had a painful wrist injury from playing lacrosse. His regular doctor thought there was a hairline fracture (which did not show on the Xray) and was going to bench him for six weeks. Dr. Abblett's examination showed that the wrist bones were not fractured, just aligned incorrectly, so he adjusted the bones. The boy's pain was gone and he was able to play in the tournament after all. The bonus is that he will have less likelihood of arthritis now because they healed correctly.
My most dramatic healing was also a bonus. I have suffered from asthma for most of my life, and was officially diagnosed and on medications for the last 11 years. Dr. Abblett noticed a particular vertebrae in my mid-back which was out of alignment at every visit, and upon correction I would notice I was breathing more clearly and had fewer allergic symptoms for several days. Dr. Abblett recommended a program to strengthen the muscles supporting that area, along with more frequent adjustments to encourage the vertebrae to settle in the correct spot. I discontinued my asthma medications and have enjoyed being asthma-free for over 3 years now! I had no idea a chiropractor could cure asthma, but this one did it for me.
He also can get good results for carpal tunnel syndrome, so try him out if you are considering surgery - and you may not need the surgery after all.
He is independent of insurance companies and therefore has reasonable rates, which are lower when you buy several visits at a time. I feel like his services are a bargain at any price, because he can help patients when conventional medicine has nothing to offer.
So whether you have back pain, joint problems, or allergies, if you are ready to be improve your health, give Dr. Abblett a call. read more
