"The beginning of July I had pain in my calf and
lower back so I went to my chiropractor. Each
time I would feel a little better, but after the 3 rd visit it started
to get worse and was now in my butt and down
my whole left leg and foot. I made an appointment
with an orthopedic surgeon. He sent for an epidural
steroid shot. I did get relief but not 100%.
Another visit to the surgeon and another shot
scheduled in 3 weeks. Two days before the next
shot something popped in my butt and dropped me to my knees. I ended
up in the emergency and finally got pain pills. I did not sleep the
next 3 nights. Had my next shot, not much relief and called the hospital
the next day. My pain meds were doubled and an MRI was ordered, surgery
was mentioned. I decided to check my options. I made a call about
DRS and made an appointment. I started treatments the next day. When
I started I had been flat on my back for 10 days, couldn’t
walk well, sit longer then 5 minutes, stand or
sleep. After 13 treatments, I am back at work,
walking some, sitting, sleeping and improving
everyday. Best of all I am off the pain meds
and my pain that had been a 15 on a scale of
1-10 is most days a 3 now. I am so thankful for
DRS and my chiropractor and pray everyday for continued improvement."

PS: Today I could put my socks on!!!
In the past five years I had endured two back surgeries, three lower
back steroid injections and multiple pain remedies such as medications
and rehab exercises.
The treatment I have experienced at the Widhelm Chiropractic Center
has vastly relieved my pain and sleeplessness.
I do admit I was skeptical of chiropractic, but it is a blessing for
me, after I had tried so many other strategies.
I also endorse a constant plan of exercise such as swimming.
