Managed Back Pain & Sinus Infections – Testimonial for Dr. Nigh

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

I saw Dr. Nigh for acupuncture to relieve back pain.  After suffering for two weeks, I saw him for the first time and I had immediate pain relief.  I completed a questionnaire before my first appointment and indicated, in my response, that I had frequent sinus infections (every two months or so).  At my first appointment Dr. Nigh asked me about the frequent infections and indicated that there were things we could try to help reduce the frequency.

After my back pain was manageable, Dr. Nigh suggested that I try “The Elimination Diet” to determine if my frequent sinus infections were caused by food.  I was certainly skeptical and brushed it off initially.  After giving it some thought, I asked to read a copy of the diet.  I was intrigued and thought that if it didn’t help the sinus infections, I would still gain the knowledge of how food effects my body.

The impact of the diet was profound, and continues to be.  I started the diet in April of 2009.  It is now January 2010 and I haven’t had a single sinus infection since beginning the diet.  The first 10 days were very challenging, but it has become a way of life and is nearly effortless now.  Besides no sinus infections, I lost 25 pounds (and I was only about 5 pounds overweight to start with), I sleep better, I handle stress better and I have more energy than I ever have.  I generally feel great.  The written diet is very helpful and inspiring, but Dr. Nigh was helpful, via e-mail, when I would have questions about food, what was happening to my body, etc.

was just ignorant about the effects of food on my body.  I would recommend seeing Dr. Nigh for an overall health assessment.  He may see things that you cannot see yourself and help you understand why your body is doing what it does.  He will take the time to listen to all of your concerns and guide you through a reasonable path to health without the use of drugs or medication.
