Year of Healing

The year of 2022 for me is the year of healing and getting my health back on track. I have had so many problems over the years especially with aches and pains that I just needed to get it fixed and sorted it out. The year has consisted of seeing a chiropractor, physiotherapist and an acupuncture specialist.

I have had such a bad back and neck for so long that I actually just accepted that it would always be like that. My husband actually said I have the worlds uncrackable back as I could never click it or get rid of the tightness. So as part of my Christmas presents I received a Groupon voucher for a chiropractor and honestly it was the best thing I have got. 

Firstly, I saw the chiropractor who was so lovely and he literally told me exactly what all my pains where and how he would be able to help me fix it. All those of years of pain and suffering with my back and neck explained to me so easily. I have been going to him for nearly a month and he has helped me so much. I can't believe he is actually able to click my "unclickable" back. He explained that I have sciatica in my neck and that is causing issues in my lower back. It is amazing how much better you can start to feel once you get someone who can clearly state the problem and fix it. I still have a long way to go but the progress that has been made in the last few weeks are such a reassurance that things will only get better. 

Secondly, I am seeing a new physiotherapist as my old one wasn't very good. So I diagnosed with a frozen shoulder at the end of 2020. At first I thought it was just my usual shoulder pain but the doctors confirmed it. My old physiotherapist wasn't good so I was told about another one and he has helped me out so much. I honestly sing his praises to everyone and how much he has helped me. I wasn't even able to do daily tasks like wash my hair or even change my clothes but with his help I have so much more mobility in my shoulder and arm. Sky therapy has helped me so much. I have been to see him about 4 times all ready and their is such an improvement. I know I have some more work to put in but just knowing that it is getting better makes me feel so much better about it. 

Lastly, I have been going to see an acupuncture. As you are all aware of my fertility issues and the never ending saga of periods and then no periods, that obviously is causing a lot of fertility problems for me. So I was advised my some friends to try out acupuncture to see if that helps. I have had about three sessions and its really weird after every session because I feel different. Sometimes I feel like I have bad cramps, sometimes I feel really tired and sometimes I just feel like my legs will give out. |t is crazy how little needles that are placed in a particular place can have such an effect on the body. She explains that certain needles are for hormones, the others are for energy. Every time I go there she just says relax and the first few times I couldn't as I was like their are needles sticking out of me but now I am so tired I automatically just relax. Let's see if it helps. She said that this may not be the answer because ovulation and pregnancy is something that can just happen when you least expect it. But even if doesn't help with the pregnancy  it would be relief if it helps with the periods.

It is insane that just in the month of January I have managed to have all these appointments and already feel like my body is already starting to improve and heal. A healthy body is the key to achieving a healthy mind, well they say something like that.
