Martha’s Life-Changing Miracle (Part 2 of 3)

[Catch up on last month's article (Part 1) here]

(Excerpted from Dr. Norton’s soon to be published book: Where Does It Hurt? Dr. Norton’s Surprising Stories and Transformative Insights for Releasing Pain and Restoring Whole Body Health)

Martha went on to share that “the most hurtful part was losing the interaction with my family. I would watch my husband and daughter laughing and being playful but I didn’t know how to join in that spontaneous moment with them”.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Pain Point>

Movie and television actor Ricardo Montalban said “And yet I think of Christopher Reeve who said he would pay two million dollars to be able to feel pain again. What a courageous man! So I have to think that pain is a blessing”.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On multiple occasions Martha returned to her doctor and asked to be removed from Paxil due to these destructive effects but was informed that she had been taking it so long that it might be worse to stop. So…her walking nightmare continued for 10 years.

The next challenging obstacle occurred earlier this year when her attorney husband was laid off from the law firm he worked for. Eventually the family couldn’t afford to keep their health insurance or the Paxil prescription refilled. Martha was forced to terminate its use.

Now the walls of the cube that contained Martha floating in a sea of feeling-suppressing medication were suddenly removed. It was like a dam that had been holding back a raging river into a safely contained reservoir, suddenly exploded, releasing its contents to rush wildly wherever it may.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Pain Point>

The physical pain, whose voice had been stifled all those years, immediately raced to the microphone and expressed its message of a problem left unresolved. It was so unbearable it knocked her onto her back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the long suppressed emotional feelings pouring to the surface she described as “extremely bright light shining almost too painfully in my eyes”. 

When I x-rayed Martha I found significant misalignments in both her neck and lower back. Even though it was her severe low back, hip, and leg pain that had reduced her to an incapacitated state and sentenced her to bed, I found the long-term damage in her neck. The films showed a complete loss of the normal curve and advancing disc and joint decay at multiple levels. These findings are typical of longstanding uncorrected whiplash injuries.

The computerized nervous system assessment revealed major disturbed function in both neck and lower back but the latter was screaming the loudest.

Martha and her husband had no available funds when my wife heard through a prayer group that she was struggling without a solution. Judy asked me and I agreed to help without charge.

Healing Hints

1. Depression is a common later phase byproduct of spinal trauma such as that caused by a car accident. It is also frequently a symptom of disturbed nervous system function from any physical, chemical, or mental/emotional overwhelm. There is mounting research regarding this finding and the amazing improvements achieved through precision chiropractic adjustments.
   
   
2. If you missed it, then check out my two-part article Delivered from Depression in the newsletter archives from earlier this year. That patient story is also incredible! Please, please think twice and try to get to the source of the problem through something like chiropractic spinal care before trying to medicate away your feelings! Antidepressant drugs have been shown to rewire your brain and can have some unwanted and even devastating side effects.
   
   
3. It is truly better to feel pain and difficult emotions rather than simply seeking comfort through being numb to your problems. If that were not the case, we humans would never have been provided with sensory equipment that enables us to have these unsettling experiences. Pain should drive you to find and apply the healing balm of a true solution versus the cover up makeup of masquerade.
   
   
4. What is held inside will continue to push its way to the surface. Whether it is upset feelings you would like to disengage yourself from or the disturbed physiology of declining health, your innate quest for wholeness will lead your body to express and attempt to release what is blocked up inside. Let It Go! This is how flow and healing harmony are restored.
   
   
5. If you hold unresolved injury of body, mind, or spirit within you too long, it will either knock you flat on your back or make you severely ill as one final desperate attempt to be heard, and then eventually flat out kill you dead!
   
   
6. Release and Restoration is Critical! Start Today!

   It Often Begins in Your Spine and Nervous System.
