My back pain was why I started with chiropractic care. I had shots and pills before and didn’t want them anymore. I couldn’t ride in the car even a little ways let alone on a trip to see my grandkids. I gave up gardening because I couldn’t bend.
When I came to see Dr. Ed he was so good at telling me what he was going to do and why. The whole office is so friendly you make friends instantly. My overall health has changed because not only is my back great, I can ride 3 hours without stopping. I’m so happy because I don’t hurt. I think my whole attitude is better. Thank you!
