Sometimes it is difficult to understand God’s plan for us.  Being a handicap is one of these issues. Perhaps through birth as in a congenital illness or through a disease or through an accident. A person may end up having mobility issues.  

Being a paraplegic is one of them.  Today I wish to discuss my personal experience with three such patients. 

The first was an Indonesian. When he came to me for therapy he had, thankfully recovered from such a problem. 

Since he was a child he contracted poliomyelitis and became wheelchair bound.  His parents sent him for acupuncture treatments every week. After a year or so he was able to get out of the wheelchair but had to rely on crutches to move about. 

Another year of weekly acupuncture treatment he was able to discard his crutches.  Today he walks fine.  

Another patient who was in in mid 30s when I met him , thankfully did not have

Mobility issues but he had spinal cord injury from falling out of the third storey window at age 22 injuring his 

T12.  He had no sensation from T12 vertebrae downwards.  Sex was not a problem. Urination required the aid of a catheter.  

The latest, also the youngest , at 24 who had a motorbike accident at 22 destroying his T2 vertebrae.  From T2 downwards he had no feeling. His surgeon gave him 5% chances of being Able to walk again.  For urination he needed a catheter.  Bowel  movement was also problematic so was the sexual act. And this young man just got married.  Luckily he has a supportive Wife and parents. 

For those with similar issues, in my humble opinion the best option is acupuncture. But one needs to be very patient and needs to have faith as well as a strong will. That is Don’t Give Up.
