I used to be a fairly successful hair stylist. In 1983 I injured my back for the first time and in…read more1988 had my first surgery for a ruptured disc. I was teaching a Haircutting class for stylist to be able to renew their license when my injury happened. In an effort to allow the people in the back of a large room to see better, I tried to lift one or our hydraulic chairs up higher on a stage, and heard a snap. From that moment in 1983, to 2008, I subsequently had five surgeries. Three discectomy's and two fusions. It is now 2013 and my career as a stylist is over. In fact, most everything I had enjoyed doing, from fun things like golf, to simple things like going for a walk have become a thing of the past. Fortunately, I was blessed with another talent, making music. I'm a musician and with the help of my bandmates, and for their kindness in carrying all my equipment, I'm still able to play each week, sitting on a stool and wearing a surgical lumbar brace of course... It has been five years since my last and biggest surgery, a "Caged Fusion." At least that's what my Surgeon called it. It totally incapacitated three vertebra. At the time, it did help, although it was a long recovery period. But, by fusing three dicks, more pressure is put on the ones directly above and below the fused vertebra. I was told then, that because of that added pressure, I might need more operations in the future. Maybe five years out, or if I was lucky and lived in a vacuum, a year or two more. Well, he certainly knew what he was talking about because its now five years from the date of the fusion and I'm in more pain and I'm more incapacitated than ever. After my fusion, I tried to go back to styling and cutting hair, and that, I'm sure, helped my downfall progress at a faster rate than if I did nothing, but I had to do something, so I did what I knew how to do. At the first of the year, 2013, I had to retire permanently. I was at a point, again, where I couldn't walk more than fifty feet or so, and that was with a cane and extreme pain. I relied on a large quantity of pain medication, which takes it's toll on one's body in some very harmful ways, to try and get through each day. I was once again at a point where I felt like I had to call my trusty surgeon and go in for number six. Truth be told, I didn't even care if I died because I certainly wasn't living. Dr. Kate Canfield likes my band, The Pirates, and told me to come see her that she would be able to help me. Well, after five highly invasive surgeries, I really didn't think that sticking me with a few pins was going to do anything but waste both of our time, but, one day, the pain and frustration was so bad, it came down to calling my surgeon or calling Dr. Kate. I thought, well, it certainly couldn't hurt, so I'll give her a chance. I went to my first visit with a totally negative attitude. I just knew in my heart that Acupuncture wasn't going to help. She made three appointments, every other day for two weeks and the rest, as they say, is history. After the first week, all my leg cramping, pulling, locking up and pain, down both my legs went away. That was five weeks ago and although I still have pain, albeit, less, in my lower back, I'm back to being able to live again. I felt that my history, my back story, is important for people to understand the severity of my problems before I went in to see Dr. Kate Canfield, of Health Point Acupuncture & Natural Medicine. I guess it's true when I hear, "well, the Chinese have been doing this for thousands of years, so there must be something to it." There sure must be. I feel like a new man in just a matter of a few weeks and her level of caring and understanding is above and beyond anything I have ever seen from any other type of Doctor out there. I am now a firm believer in the art and science of Eastern medicine, especially Acupuncture. I haven't been to any other one, but, I know Dr. Kate Canfield, and if you live anywhere near enough to New Smyrna Beach, Florida, or are one of those people we affectionally refer to as, "snow birds," then by all means, if you have something ailing you, anything at all, give Dr. Kate Canfield a call. She really can and will help. It truly does feel good to feel good. Thank you for your time and peace be with you,
