"It feels good to feel good!"

I've suffered with lower back pain for several years.  My doctors would generally dismiss it as degenerative discs, associated with the aging process.  They would prescribe anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxing medications as needed to relieve the pain.   This year the medications were ineffective so I decided to look for alternative solutions.  I asked my doctor to recommend some options other than medications.  I no longer wanted to just relieve the symptoms with a never ending cycle of prescriptions and daily doses of Advil. 

My day would begin with light to moderate back pain while putting my shoes on then varying degrees of pain for the rest of the day.  After leaving work I would go to the gym for some exercise and work through the pain.  I couldn't take it any longer.  I had to do something to change my situation.   My doctor told me I could get an MRI and I consider the possibility of corrective surgery or I could see a chiropractor. 

I had a good impression of Matheny Chiropractic Center and his staff.  I now visit a few days each week.  For a small investment in time and money my back varies from nothing to occasionally mild.  I feel confident it will continue to improve.  Not only do I feel better physically but enjoying the day without constant back pain has improved my mental and emotional well being.  I left the gym a few nights ago and felt the best I have in several years.
