Thankful for my chiropractor

This month's theme is 'Giving Thanks'.

Today, I'm thankful that I have knowledge about my health that I didn't know 10 years ago. I am currently seeing a chiropractor, Dr. Dale Hameister, to help with my leg compartment syndrome. This syndrome that I have in my legs cause my feet go numb and fall asleep while I run. Needless to say, this is painful and not fun. I'm trying alternative medicine to help the problem instead of surgery. I really don't want to go under the knife and have someone cut open my calf muscles so they have more 'room' for the pressure. So far, the chiropractor has given me lots of hope because I can run for 30 min with no pain or numbness. In summary, I'm so happy that I have the resources and knowledge to make healthy decisions about my body.
