Testimonial from Dr. Randy Russel, June 6 2011
For several months I suffered from a nagging ache in my right hip and leg. I could not walk very far without pain kicking in, and sleeping at night was torture. I had to find a position on the couch, with my right leg up on the top side of the couch to get any relief. Many nights I got only a couple of hours of sleep. Surprisingly during the day, the leg didn’t bother me much at all as long as I didn’t do much.
I need to also mention that I am a Chiropractor, semi-retired at this time, and I knew that from my training and experience in practice that this was a physical problem that required a physical solution, so I was seeing a local Chiropractor who had been taking care of me for many years. He would adjust the lower back on each visit, and would perform some adjusting of my neck as well. He prescribed some good stretching exercises for the area of my leg, and I did those every day. Still the pain occurred at night and interrupted my sleep.
After a few more weeks of living with this pain, a friend of mine, and patient of Dr.McHenry thought I should get another opinion and urged me to get an appointment. She brought over a business card and I called to make an appointment. He took x-rays and noticed a problem in my upper-cervical area. I had studied this method that he does and hoped it would work. I had confidence in him that we were on the right track. The next day I returned to get my first adjustment using the method he does with the knee-chest table. That adjustment was amazing. I could feel the bone go back in place in my neck, and a warm sensation of “energy” turning on in my spine. That night I got full nights sleep without any pain-the first time in many months not having to sleep on the couch. I continued with the treatment and getting checked weekly in order to get this problem “corrected and more stable.” I followed the recommendations of Dr.McHenry to the letter. The problem has not returned since. I am on maintenance care to keep my spine in alignment and I admire Dr. McHenry for his skill and competence in treating me.
