My Story:

In August 2000 I developed problems with my right shoulder, which got progressively worse.  I had seen a rheumatologist who told me I had arthritis and prescribed Ibuprofen 800mg X 3 daily.  At the beginning it eased the pain, and as time passed the pain increased despite the pain pills so I began using a hot pack, which I heated up in the microwave 3-4 X daily.  In February 2001 I came to se Dr. Crusade and Dr. Jenson.  After my first adjustment the pain went away, subsequently I gave up the pills and the hot pack.  From time to time I would have pains but Dr. Jenson assured me that it was "healing pain" whereby the calcium in my shoulder was dissolving.  I have made good progress, and presently am able to pull my sweatshirt over my head when I struggled to do it previously. 

All during my care Dr. Crusade and Dr. Jenson indicated that I have allergies, but as I get better the allergies would disappear.  I have had allergy problems for many years.  Several years ago I went to an allergist who diagnosed that I was allergic to dust mites, weeds and molds, and that I should take shots for my problem.  I declined and told him I would take the conservative method.  Last week I told Dr. Jenson that I was going to see my allergist to get another allergy test.  Dr. Jenson said, "You don't have allergies any more."  I kept my appointment with the allergist on May 2, 2001 and received the 59 scratch test on my back.  To my surprise the entire test was negative.

I am very pleased with my progress for the short time I have been seeing Dr. Crusade and Dr. Jenson.  One day, delighted with my progress at this Chiropractic office, I designed a graphic and wrote "Expect a miracle today."  At the time I did the graphics, it was wishful thinking on my part.  However, now I know the miracle that I wished for has come true.  After years of suffering with allergies, that has disappeared.  I am looking forward to regaining the full use of my shoulder soon.  Dr. Crusade and Dr. Jenson each deserve 2 big hugs.
