"With regular adjustments, I rarely get sick."
While living in the midwest, about thirty-five years ago, I had a work injury which led me into a lifetime dedication to chiropractic treatment. At the end of a particularly stressful workweek, my lower back suddenly seized with agonizingly painful and incapacitating spasms. Following a sleepless Friday night, I called a local medical clinic for help but was told no one could see me until Monday. What was more unbelievable is that they wanted to prescribe a prescription for pain medication in the interim. I just simply thought, "Wow, they don't even know what's wrong with me but yet they want to prescribe medicine?"
In desperation, I called some friends who had been raving about a chiropractor who had been successfully treating their sports-related injuries. The referral paid immediate dividends. The chiropractor was not only in when I called, he said to me, "Apply an icepack every thirty minutes, then come in on Monday." In two hours the pain was gone. His subsequent examination revealed that early childhood polio and sports injuries had set me up for difficulties that would need immediate attention and on an ongoing basis. He was the first in the line of nine different chiropractors who would successfully treat me over the many years.
Dr. Matheny has been treating me since 1998. His approach has been very effective in dealing with cervical range of motion and posture problems. Thanks Dr. Matheny - I am enjoying the way I feel today, and I greatly appreciate your care.
