As a lifelong skier, the years were bound to catch up to me one day. That day came about five years ago. I put up with aches from skiing for the next three years. I thought it was normal to have some pain straightening up when getting out of bed in morning after two or three days of hard skiing at Snowbird. My friends got sore so I thought it was part of life.
Then one morning I woke with a crink in my neck that did not go away after a few days. I've used chiropractors before, and I had a reference for the doctors at Cottonwood Chiropractic. I decide to go in to get a quick fix for my neck ache.
I was told that they could adjust my sore neck though the intake would involve some procedures to take in the over all status of my spine. I agreed to it. After a discussion of the technique and going over the results, I signed up for the corrections and therapy advised by Dr. Ratcliffe and Dr. Katalina Dean.
This type of chiropractic technique takes discipline from the patient. You have to do your home work, and you have to visit a few times a week. Does that sound intense? It is. The results speak for themselves.
Fortunately that year, the snow was not tempting as it was a terrible winter. I committed to doing therapy and when the due date of March 1 came, I went skiing to Jackson Hole, Wy. I have not had back pain from skiing since doing therapy going on three years ago. I worked hard, and the therapy corrected the curve in my spine, allowed the discs to heal, and I am in great shape with good follow up care and exercise.
I am not alone in this success story. As I told you, my friends and I have all skied and lived an active lifestlye. I have placed two other patients with CC and the results have been the same for them. They also were up for the commitment to the treatment and the homework. At middle age, if you've lived your life at all, you have some wear and tear, and modern life does not help any, sitting in office chairs, and using a mobile phone. I believe in chiropractic care; my grandfather returned from WWI in 1919 with his arm in a cast for months and became a chiropractor at that early age of the profession because it was the one treatment at the army hospital that helped him and others regain use of bodies damaged by force.
I believe even more in this school of chiropractic medicine that Dr. Ratcliffe has practised for decades. To be with Dr. Ratcliffe is to be with a master, a passionate expert who is constantly fascinated by his art and attending seminars to learn more science. Dr. Dean is just as dedicated and proficient. The staff at the office are incredibly kind and hard working. Thank you to all of them. read more
