A couple weeks ago I was in Houston to have a release done on my tongue tie. I've been having many health complications in the last few years and I was hoping having this done would help give me some answers. While in Houston, my therapist recommended I find someone for body work as well, before and after the procedure. I'm so lucky that I found Dr. Banik, as she went way beyond what I expected for a visit like this.
First of all, David and Payel have to be two of the nicest and friendliest people I have ever met. Something I could tell instantly is that they have a heart for people, and people being helped and healed as quickly as possible. This was definitely a contrast compared to some other Doctors I had been to previously and it felt like a breath of fresh air.
So for years my body has been way underachieving, even with my greatest efforts to eat healthy, take care of myself, and exercise when my body will allow me. I've suffered from back and neck pain since middle school, which has greatly effected the strength in my arms and legs, making tasks like carrying groceries often too much to handle. My breathing has always been restricted, only allowing me shallow breaths and always feeling out of breath. My circulation has been very poor, as even in the summer, my hands and feet are exceptionally cold. To top this all off, a very poor digestive system that moves at a snails pace.
While I have sought out help for many years now from specialists, I was always met with the answer of taking drugs, going for a massage, physio therapy, and going to chiropractors which I had never seen results in any of them.
My visit to Dr. Banik's office was very different. She plenty of time to allow for a very in depth history of my health, as well to listen to any and every concern I had about my body, and every little detail about the way it functioned.
Within the first visit I knew she was the most knowledgeable doctor I had ever seen. She quickly went to work making adjustments on many areas of my body, and fully explained everything that she was doing as she went. I've seen people adjust joints before, so that wasn't new to me, but Dr. Banik was also able to correct my breathing and digestive system through simple corrections with her hands. This was unlike anything I had experienced before, and the thing is, it actually worked. I took a bath later that evening, and actually felt buoyant in the tub do to the amount of air I was now able to take in!
My legs and arms are a lot stronger now, and even my neck and back are responding to treatment, although it might take a little bit longer there to see the full results I would like.
Overall I have more energy, can breathe deeper, have a better night sleep, improved circulation that is noticeable, walk straighter, can last on my feet for a lot longer, a lot less indigestion, and after only two appointments.
While I was only in the area long enough for two treatments, I am very excited about results and breakthrough that I have seen in my health, and look forward to continuing treatment with an Osteopathic Doctor in my area.
I would definitely recommend Osteopathic Healing Hands to anyone even close to the Houston area, pretty much for any ailment or improper functioning of your body. read more
