Walt's Story

What was your condition?  "I had back pain from shoveling snow.  Pain was radiating down my right leg.  I could not sit, drive or ride more than 15 minutes."

What steps had you previously taken to get help?  "I had seen my PCP.  He prescribed me to painkillers and anticipated at least a long stretch of physical therapy."

How were you referred to chiropractic?  "My wife referred me to Dr. Schofield.  He had helped her shoulder and hip problems.  She thought he could help me too."

In your words, what did the chiropractor do?  "He carefully diagnosed my condition and began a series of adjustments.  Those helped ease the pain and I began to improve.  He also raised my spirits by reassuring me that we would overcome this problem."

What are your hobbies and interests?  "I am an avid golfer.  Within 3 months I was playing again.  In another month I was not only golfing but walking the course.  My other hobbies include 'walking for fitness'."

How has chiropractic helped your hobbies and interests?  "Not only did I return to golf but my play met and exceeded my prior bests.  The healthy back also allowed me to resume walking and strength building exercises which improved my fitness."

How has chiropractic helped other aspects of your life?  "Even before the shoveling episode I had a 'balky back'.  In the last year with maintenance adjustments, I have been virtually pain free, able to enjoy life and do most anything I want to."

Words of encouragement to others?  "Dr. Schofield is an expert, not only in chiropractic techniques but also is extremely encouraging, optimistic and knowledgeable.  He can empathize with your problems and guide you back to health."
