I felt like I was dragging my legs to walk

When I met Dr. Barton almost a year ago, I was struggling with having recently been diagnosed with an auto-immune disease called Miasthenia Gravis. The disease causes me to be deficient in receptors between my nerves and muscles. The effect of this deficiency caused constant fatigue. I could begin the day with a normal amount of energy, but become totally exhausted when I ran out of receptors. By the afternoon my muscles would not cooperate with my mind, and I would need to rest after almost every task. I felt like I was dragging my legs to walk and like I was carrying an extra 15 lbs. on my shoulders and with each arm. I also had continual pain that would move around to different parts of my back and neck. The slowness and the Back Pain were very frustrating for me, especially while trying to care for my three kids.

            Since starting my visits with Dr. Barton, at Barton Chiropractic in Concord, my health has improved immensely. I discovered a pattern in how my body has responded to the adjustments and ultimately arrived at a much higher level of health. I would improve sometimes gradually and at other times drastically in my energy levels, then experience as mall setback, and then go on to grow stronger and surpass the former level of healing. I know that I am well on my way to complete healing. The medical doctors told me that this is not possible.

            A year ago I never would have dreamt of having enough energy to exercise. Now I am swimming 40 laps at the pool two times a week in addition to all I do running after my kids each day. I was stunned this past winter when I had a chance to go skiing. I hadn’t been for 20 years and told myself I would be satisfied to make it down a beginner’s run a couple of times. Instead I skied the entire day with tremendous energy and stamina, and was just fine the next day. If someone had told me a year ago that I would be skiing for a whole day I would have told them it could only happen with a miracle.

            The rest of my family also sees Dr. Barton, and he has helped each one in wonderful ways. One example of the health they experience is that my kids have not been to see a doctor for an entire year. They have been amazingly healthy.

            I am certain that God has answered my prayer by leading me and my family to Dr. Barton. I thank God for the gift He has given to Dr. Barton to facilitate the wonderful healing we have experienced under his care. I am so grateful to Dr. Barton for the heart and the grace he has for people and for the knowledge and skill that he has to be such a good chiropractor.
