        Approximately three years ago I started having middle back problems.Having never suffered any type of back injury I was perplexed as to what was causing it?I have always exercised to a moderate degree and was involved in activities requiring some degree of flexibility.For the next year and a half the pain came and went.And I didn*t think much of it until I also started having reflux!
       When I visited Dr. Carrell for the first time, she encouraged me to let some adjustments take effect before I started taking reflux medicine; under the assumption that the nerves that communicate through middle back joints, required adjusting and this could clear up the reflux, since this area of the back corresponds to the functions of the digestive system.After my first adjustment, the reflux went away and hasn*t returned since!Adhering to the exercises, paying attention to my posture, as well as, working through a progressive adjustment program, has dramatically helped my midde back, my neck (which I was self correcting every 10 minutes), and straightened out my gait.
