Curious about Chiropractic Care? Quickie Q&A with chiropractor extraordinaire, Dr. Christine Cantwell, DC

Have you ever had chronic pain? Have you been curious about chiropractic care and how it may help ease your pain?

I benefited tremendously from a gentle form of chiropractic care categorized as Bio-Geometric Integration during my recovery period from fibromyalgia and undifferentiated connective tissue disorder, which included excruciating muscle, bone, and nerve pain plus chronic fatigue. I live in full remission from these conditions today but still use BGI chiropractic care as part of my “maintenance plan.”

Dr. Christine Cantwell is a fantastic practitioner in the San Francisco Bay Area who practices the Bio-Geometric Integration approach and was kind enough to make some time to answer some Quickie Questions:

If 5% of my healing was thanks to western medicine, 95% of my healing was thanks to “alternative” medicine (with is not my “alternative” – it’s my default when it comes to my chronic conditions).

These include:

- Naturopathic medicine, including pharmaceutical-grade supplements to rebuild my deficiencies, get rid of my antibiotic-induced gallstones without surgery, plus oral chelation for heavy metals, and homeopathy for a host of other things
