"My back problems began as sciatica and became more painful until I had back surgery three years later. After surgery, I spent two years taking Advil, hydrocodone, cortisone shots and muscle relaxants. I also went through two rounds of physical therapy. I had gone from an active person to a 35-year-old who could not walk a mile, lift a bag of groceries or even my own child. I was looking at a lifetime of pain management and began to think it was a permanent disability.

I eventually followed a friend's advice and walked into Chiropractic First, just looking for temporary pain relief. After two moths of care, I stopped taking muscle relaxants and other heavy medications. After three months, I actually began to have pain-free days. After five months I stopped taking Advil daily.

I still have bad days where I need ice and heat, but I now have a good share of days where my back pain doesn't get in the way of my life and it has been a great blessing. I'm now enjoying my life again. I feel empowered and know that although pain is inevitable, it doesn't have to be permanent. I don't have to live a handicapped life!"

"I originally injured my back lifting an unexpectedly heavy box while working as a UPS driver. I didn't give it much thought at the time, but a few weeks later, I felt a sharp pain in my back while playing sports. An occupational therapist put me on traction for 45 minutes and I was locked in a 45-degree angle for three weeks. While on a delivery route, I met Dr. Savage's wife, Cathy, who immediately suggested I go in for a consultation. After eight weeks of chiropractic adjustments, I was surprised to find that not only did my back pain get better, but I was able to continue to do strenuous work, had a significant drop in allergies and my energy has improved. I can play sports again and live my life more confidently. Most importantly, I have a much more optimistic view of life."

"When I came to Chiropractic First, I was just looking for some way to be pain free. I had suffered with back pain for 30 years and was unable to sleep or move normally. I felt like I was 100 years old. I never expected all the positive results of chiropractic. Now the pain is almost nonexistent and I can move more freely than ever before. It has changed my whole perspective on life and has been the best thing I've ever done for myself."
