There is a lot more evidence for acupuncture than there is for chiropractic. I have several doctor friends who scoff at chiropractic practice, but who embrace acupuncture. Tells you something.

I live in Kissimmee Fl and have been going to Dr. Lerner since 2001. I have had severe rhuematoid arthritis for thirty years (since the age of 25)with severe joint damage and was on eight to ten kidney and liver wrecking meds when I started seeing him. I also had back and neck problems, severe constant headaches, trouble sleeping and chronic fatigue as many side affects of either the disease or meds. I’ve spent hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years , even WITH insurance, on constant doctor visits, blood work for med monitoring and medications. And I still felt terrible. At one point my medical care bils were so high, even with insurance, just from co-pays and out of pocket deductables, that we almost lost our house. My husband went out and got another job to keep up.

Now I spend about $3000 a year to feel great and for a few supplements! Insurance doesn’t cover it but I’ve been off all medications for four years now. I still have limits due to joint crippling but there is no more pain, inflammation or fatigue. I work out with light weights and an elliptical for low joint impact and have energy and my life back. So even without insurance coverage I’m spending a lot less to feel better.

Dr Ben is not God and he does not push God at his office although it is very evident when you are there that his faith is a big part of what he does. Why shouldn’t it be, all of us are the sum of what we believe and all of us believe in something. If people don’t like that they can go elsewhere. Nor does he tell people to never go to an MD or throw out all your meds. He never once mentioned the meds I was on because he knows that in time, when people start taking care of themselves properly they most likely won’t need them. Dr. Ben and his staff are passionate about teaching, inspiring and helping peole to live healthy lifestyles, to eat right, exercise and learn to manage stress and time which are all huge disease enablers. I asked him when he became “famous” a few years ago after his book was published if he was going to quit seeing patients and he said, “No, never. This is my first love and keeping hands on with my patients, watching their lives change one at a time is what keeps me grounded.”

Say what you want about it, but I am living proof that getting educated in nutrition, making a few lifestyle changes and getting a little push in the right direction from someone who sees you as a whole person and wants to do more for you than shove another pill down your throat, works. We are so good in this country with managing sickness and so negligent in promoting wellness. We should complain about how much money the pharmacudical companies make off us staying sick instead of about doctors and others who do well for themselves promoting health. I’ve watched Dr. Ben work really hard and move up the ranks of success while helping many people and I say good for him! And good for me too!

I’ve been a chiropractor for 28 plus years and it is my opinion that patients should run not walk from any practitioner that attempts to sign you up to long periods of active treatment for thousands of dollars. There are some difficult cases that require longer periods of treatment than the average case but these are not the majority in my experience. It should also be noted that in the majority of states it is a violation of state practice laws for a chiropractic doctor to tell you to stop taking prescribed medication. In cases where the chiropractor feels medication may be causing adverse side effects the appropriate course of care is for the chiropractor to contact your medical doctor either by phone or report and express his or her concern. It would then be the responsiblity of your medical doctor to determine what course of action to render. I would conclude with the fact that chiropractors are required by law to perform a differential diagnosis of your presenting complaint rather than diagnosis of subluxation alone. If you had a large abdominal aneurysm causing your lower back pain would you rather go to a chiropractor who would consider that in her differential diagnosis or to the “principled chiropractor” who disregards this possibility only looking for subluxation and then attempting to sign you up for long periods of care costing thousands of dollars. The choice is yours as a health care consumer. I for one would choose the former chiropractor over the latter. The former chiropractor will do an excellent job making sure your case is ammenable to chiropractic care. The latter feels all patients’ regardless of condition are amenable to chiropractic care. My two cents.
