This morning I went with a friend to see Dr. Frazier at Absolute Health, which reminded me that I've never blogged about Dr. Frazier!
Dr. Frazier is our wonderful chiropractor. He's helped us with a myriad of health problems. He's the one who first figured out that Colin doesn't have normal diabetes (when Colin was filling out his new-patient paperwork the first time he visited, Dr. Frazier looked over his shoulder and said something like "You put that you have Type I diabetes. Don't put that down, you don't have that"). He helped immensely with both of my pregnancies, getting my body ready for what turned out to be impressively easy labors and helping me manage my gestational diabetes. He helped Degen without an appointment when I accidentally dropped him on a hardwood floor at six weeks old. In fact, he's come in on weekends and visited us in the hospital and even lent us his trailer when we moved.
Colin says "You know, it's hard to find an intelligent, balanced alternative medicine person. Someone who doesn't hate the system." Dr. Frazier is really good about understanding the need to work with both alternative and traditional medicine. When he told Colin he didn't have diabetes, he didn't tell him to stop going to his regular doctor, he told him to go back to the doctor and ask him to run specific tests. When I had gestational diabetes and they wanted to induce me, he didn't say to ignore my doctor, but he gave me questions to ask the doctor and helped me with other ways of managing the diabetes.
Aside from the typical chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Frazier is a genius at diagnosis. He uses muscle testing and other methods to figure out the actual cause of the illness, rather than just treat the symptoms. He has a broad range of methods he uses to treat you, too, including things like color therapy, homeopathics, nutrition, adjustments, acupuncture, acupressure, massage. It's so nice to be able to go to his office when we have a mysterious and/or pressing health problem and he knows us and is able to figure out what is wrong and give us a lot of options (including untraditional ones) for treatment.
Some things to know when you go see Dr. Frazier:
- He's very enthusiastic about what he does and is happy to answer questions, but you have to ask the questions or he might forget to explain because he's so excited about getting you better.
- There will probably be some suggestions he gives you that will be weird, but unless you have a bad feeling about it you should try them anyway. There are a bunch of things that have helped me that I was skeptical about at first. He'll never suggest something that will hurt you.
- Sometimes you have to wait a while before he gets you in to an appointment. He spends as much time with you as you need to get better, but occasionally that means you have to wait a little longer than planned while he helps someone else. He and the staff do their best to stay on schedule, but people aren't clocks.
So, go see Dr. Frazier and tell him the Jensens sent you!
