Guinea Pig
Many of you know that Keeper has an adjustment table. My crooked spine has been in heaven since he got it and I get my back adjusted whenever I ask. I think this has really helped prevent my IT band/hip and other running injuries from returning. He has also, through the past 2 years of medical school, made me my own herbal tincture, personalized flower essence, as well as put me on various vitamins and supplements. He's done hot and cold hydrotherapy on my legs for my lovely varicose veins. We've used homemade elderberry cough syrup when we've gotten sick.
My naturopathic physician is one of Keith's instructors at school. I was going to Dr. Nick at the clinic pretty much once a month for adjustments and other herbal supplements. I haven't had to make an appointment with Dr. Nick in 9 months. This is because I now have my own personal doctor.
The latest treatment? Acupuncture. I'd never had it done before but was more than willing to try now that Keeper is taking his first "needling" class this quarter. I've had it done twice now and I think I'm going to keep it up. I am very excited to see what the next 2 years hold as Dr. Keith adds to his bag of tricks:)
