Growing up in the Palisades
 By Dr. Luke Cohen, palichiro.com
Growing up in the Palisades and Santa Monica I always stayed active skateboarding, surfing, and playing sports. At the age of seven I started to develop a painful limp and suffered from migraines that almost completely disabled me from my daily activities. Eventually I saw my doctor. The tests and x-rays led to medications that did not work. As the years passed, my condition worsened. I got sick frequently, and was put on different antibiotics which became a downward spiral leading to more antibiotics. My vision became weak and I eventually ended up needing glasses. “I always thought, there had to be something I could do.†As I had almost given up hope, a friend suggested that I go to a chiropractor. At first I was slightly hesitant; however I was desperate for a solution so I decided to go. The adjustment gave me immediate relief. The chiropractor explained to me that my body had been out of balance and was pinching my nerves causing the problem. After I completed my care I no longer had headaches, back pain, a painful limp, and didn’t get sick. After a few more months of care my eyesight improved and I stopped wearing glasses.
Now for the photo (we’ll post it soon)… These are my patients Alex and John. Both of these boys came to me not hearing well, not speaking well or pronouncing their words correctly due to chronic ear infections. The combination of all these factors caused them to struggle in school. They came to my office seeking help. Last winter was the first winter they boys did not get sick. They both are doing excellently in school and have their lives in front of them. As a doctor there is nothing more rewarding than being able to assist people in overcoming there health obstacles, and getting their lives back.
