A story is not
a prescription.
My old articles sometimes used strong language about how much a treatment helped, or the hopes I placed in it. Those are honest reports of what I felt and believed during those years.
They are not proof of treatment efficacy for CRPS. Several approaches, life changes and relationships often overlapped. The newer pages keep that uncertainty visible rather than erasing it from the story.
We also distinguish dated historical claims from current device safety or medical information. When something requires individual clinical guidance, we'll say so.
ADDITIONAL HISTORY TO DEVELOP
There's more in
the archive.
Chiropractic, medication questions and medical-ID safety have dedicated pages. Other historical topics are still in editorial review.
Chiropractic care
The early years when even touch was difficult, and my experiences with adjustments, gentle exercise and other approaches.
