Testimonial from Bruno R., June 2011
I will begin by stating that I am 68 years old, and, before being treated by Dr.Brad McHenry, I was not a believer of Chiropractic Treatment. This belief was probably fostered by the fact that I didn’t understand the purpose, techniques, or amazing results that can be achieved by Chiropractic Medicine, especially when practiced by a well-trained and dedicated professional.
As a retired military man, I am in good physical condition, except for one thing my back problems had been debilitating me for many years. It gave me bouts of being bed-ridden, caused me to quit jogging, and limited my ability to lift heavy objects or even do mundane tasks that required bending down or over.
I came to Dr. McHenry on the advice of a friend. She and her family had been treated by him on several occasions for various ailments. At this point, I could not sleep at night due to the pain in my back and legs and was having difficulty walking, sitting, or doing normal daily tasks. I had already made arrangements for another MRI scan (had several over the past 25 years) in preparation to probably undergo back surgery. My family doctor had been recommending such surgery for the past 15 years. During that time, I had been able to avoid surgery by doing specific stretching and back-strengthening exercises; however, the pain and incapacitation had now become intolerable. With lack of sleep, daily pain, and inability to do enjoyable activities, I went to see Dr. McHenry as a final resort.
After Dr. McHenry took x-rays, outlined my physical problems affecting my nerves, and explained the purpose of Chiropractic Medicine, we embarked on a treatment plan which began with three visits per week, which quickly turned to two, and then once per week. Interestingly, he started treating my neck area and then moved down to the lower back. Concurrently, he fitted me with arch supports and gave me several exercises to perform. Within two weeks, I experienced amazing results. I was sleeping at night. Within four months, I was doing things that I hadn’t been able to do in many years. Now I am pain free and I visit Dr. McHenry every other week for maintenance. I am very grateful to his treatment and the advice of my friend who recommended him. I would recommend him to anyone who has pains, injuries, or physical ailments that appear to be chronic and hopeless. I am now a believer of Chiropractic Medicine.
