Mesothelioma Patients May Benefit from Chiropractic Care

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer caused mainly by exposure to asbestos. The symptoms of this type of cancer have an abnormally long latency period and can take anywhere from 20 to 50 years to become noticeable. Usually, by the time mesothelioma is diagnosed it is already in advanced stages and treatment options are limited.

Many cancer patients have chosen to visit a chiropractor as part of their treatment routine. According to the American Chiropractic Association, chiropractic doctors “have a deep respect for the human body's ability to heal itself without the use of surgery or medication. These doctors devote careful attention to the biomechanics, structure and function of the spine, its effects on the musculoskeletal and neurological systems, and the role played by the proper function of these systems in the preservation and restoration of health. A doctor of chiropractic is one who is involved in the treatment and prevention of disease, as well as the promotion of public health, and a wellness approach to patient healthcare.”

In order to help control pain and relieve headaches, tension and stress, many cancer patients have integrated chiropractic care into their course of treatment. Patients interested in alternative treatment, who strongly believe in the body’s capability to heal itself, may find chiropractic care appealing. Alleviating severe headaches and movement pains during cancer treatment may make the treatment process more comfortable for cancer patients, including those battling mesothelioma.

A study was published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics that examined a 54-year-old man diagnosed with lung cancer (a cancer often related to asbestos exposure). The man began seeing a chiropractor after experiencing very little pain relief one year after he underwent surgery to combat his cancer. The man experienced pain relief immediately after beginning chiropractic care and stopped using all of his pain medications after two visits to his chiropractor. The Journal noted, “These clinical examples offer two specific instances of how chiropractic may improve the quality of a cancer patient’s life.”

If you want to feel great sooner than later ...make an appointment with Dr. Ed Kahn today!

Dr. Kahn is very committed to the improved health of his patients. In the short time I’ve been in treatment with him I’ve experienced better overall wellness. I had serious pain in my lower back, tightness in my neck, and numbness in one of my toes. I rarely slept through a night, I’d pretty much abandoned any exercise, and generally felt tired through most of the day. I now sleep through the night, have the energy to stay “with it” during the day, and my husband and I are enjoying long and vigorous walks due to our increased flexibility and movement. If you want to feel great sooner than later and wish to be under the care of a compassionate and knowledgeable chiropractor, make an appointment with Dr. Ed Kahn today!

I can truly say “I feel great”....

I can truly say “I feel great”. The biggest difference is in my posture. I don’t walk with my shoulders rolled forward and with constant pain. When I first came in to visit Dr. Kahn I was suffering from chronic neck, upper back, and mid back pain and I also had been getting very strange shooting pain in my elbows that would travel down my forearms to my finger tips that were causing not only discomfort, but fro me not to be as productive at work. I was taking a lot of breaks from typing and the pain was not going away. After a few adjustments, the pain just disappeared and I have not felt the elbow pain ever since. Before seeing Dr. Kahn I never thought about doing anything about the discomfort. I thought it was normal to have mild discomfort on a regular basis, after all I was still able to perform my daily tasks. Once I started getting adjustments regularly, I realized that it is not normal to live with pain and that I could live pain free. Today I notice a huge difference in my posture. I’m also more aware of my body and notice what is not. Dr. Kahn recommended a series of exercise for me to perform at home to help support the adjustments I was getting weekly. Dr. Kahn performed corrective care and also guided me through rehabilitation, strengthening and maintenance of my back. This is not a common practice, we normally go to the doctor and we get a band aid to cover up the pain, but rarely get encouraged of our health and be proactive rather that reactive.

Thank you Dr. Kahn,

Maintenance adjustments and exercises are now part of my routine...

I was helping my 3 year old off the counter and bent down incorrectly. Feeling a sharp pinch in my lower back I went downstairs and laid on the floor. Almost an hour later I realized I was immobilized only capable of a slow painful crawl. I called Dr. Kahn and after an assessment and adjustments I was able to walk. One week later after an aggressive 3x daily adjustments and rehab I was back to normal. Maintenance adjustments and exercises are now part of my routine.

I would like to thank Dr. Kahn and his staff for getting me off the floor and back in to life.

Thanks Mile High Chiropractic,

I drive twenty miles to obtain this level of relief

For years I’ve relied on routine adjustments to manage chronic back pain. Of the dozen chiropractors I’ve depended on over the years, Dr. Kahn stands out. He goes beyond standard chiropractic care to locate and correct subtle as well as obvious symptoms. I drive twenty miles to obtain this level of relief, and appreciate the fact I now give little thought to discomfort.

Thanks Mile High Chiropractic,

I can bend my knee, workout, and play with the kids without any pain!

Before coming to Mile High Chiropractic I was having headaches almost every day, and there was a lot of tension in my shoulders and lower back. I also had so much pain in my right knee that I couldn’t even bend it to get down on the floor and play with the kids or work out.It’s been about a month now since I started getting adjusted and my headaches are gone, the tension is my back is a lot less and, most importantly, I can bend my knee, workout, and play with the kids without any pain!Dr. Kahn and his staff are wonderful!

Thank you for helping me to get back on track with staying healthy!

I choose maintenance care instead of medication, because I want to correct the problem, not just mask my symptoms.

Before I started coming to Dr. Kahn, I had been working out and trying to improve my own physical health. While this was helping to strengthen my body, it was creating more pain and my asthma wasn’t getting any better. My body was at it’s limit and that’s when I had a very painful event – something in my back went out!Dr. Kahn has helped me get my back to it’s correct alignment. My asthma has improved and I feel better than I ever have before. Also, I am improving with my work outs and I feel great. So, I choose maintenance care instead of medication, because I want to correct the problem, not just mask my symptoms.

Thanks Mile High Chiropractic

I couldn’t stand up straight....and have improved 100%

Since being treated by Dr. Kahn I have felt better than I have in a long time. In August of 2008 I was moving a heavy piece of furniture and pulled my back out. I was doubled over in pain and I couldn’t stand up straight. When I called the office, Dr. Kahn got me right in and started treatment immediately. He also taught me how to move my body correctly to avoid future injury. I improved quickly and was able to return to work without any time missed.I have been seeing Dr. Kahn for several months and have improved 100%! He was a life saver!

Thank you for all of your help,

I can say that I have been headache free now for quite a while!

In my previous experience with chiropractors, they were always willing to treat my neck pain, which caused a lot of headaches for me, but never brought up a permanent solution to the problem. About 9 months ago, I thought I would give Dr. Kahn a try for a new outlook. Dr. Kahn developed a plan of action for me, through exercise and adjustment, to permanently change in the curvature of my neck to alleviate the pain for good. I can say that I have been headache free now for quite a while! When I found out I was pregnant, I was a little reluctant about keeping my same appointment schedule, but I am glad that I did because I have seldom had back pain and am now at 32 weeks. With the level of care I am receiving, plus the exercise plan we developed to prepare me for labor, I know that I can make it through the next 8 weeks, and I will be continuing my chiropractic visits!I am grateful that Dr. Kahn was willing to come up with a plan that worked for me and always looks at the big picture of my overall health.

I used to feel old and broken……now I just feel old!

Each week I can feel marked improvement in my back and neck. I am able to do things longer and with a lot less discomfort. It has been years since I have been able to do that. I used to feel old and broken……now I just feel old!
