I have been seeing Sam and his team since 12/2016. ( Shout out to his office team, they are so warm and friendly!!! )
I have never had an interest in seeing a Chiropractor until I hurt my back/ hip from kickboxing in the summer of 2016 . I lived with the pain for awhile, thinking and hoping it would go away soon, everyday I could hardly walk, when I drove and hit a bump in the road I would get a shooting pain in my back that felt like a knife stabbing me ( not that I know what that feels like) but it was super painful!! I could not reach my toes or even put on my shoes on without severe pain!!! I was done with being in pain and was ready to do something but was not quite sure what or even ready to go see a doctor and be placed on painkillers.
I am a member of the Sweathaus and my boxing coach suggested I see Sam. I thought about it for a month or so, I did not trust Chiropractors!! I wasn't even sure why I felt that way, but growing up I have just heard people say, Chiropractors are a waste of money, and they could hurt you by cracking your back, etc. I thought that was all they did was crack your next and etc.. and I was not interested in any of that. But.. I wanted to stop hurting and I thought why not. It can't hurt me, I can tell him I don't want to be cracked and see what happens. I went in Sam's office thinking, no way is this person going to fix me or heal me, it would probably be my first and last office visit.
But then I met Sam and told him what was wrong and I listened to his opinion, and I decided I should give him a try. He was very patient and seemed very knowledgeable and he really listened to me and was wanting to help!! And he did not make me crack my neck, lol.
I started seeing Sam twice a week and he showed me how to stretch and do exercises that would strength my core spine and to my amazement I slowly felt better!! I was shocked and so happy! It took awhile to start seeing the signs, but listening to Sam's advise and doing my homework, I feel 99% better today! I now see him for maintenance and other issues that have come up! I will be 50 this year and since I have started to see Sam, I have realized how important the daily stretches are and how very important it is too work through your pain, it truly helps and I am now a believer!!
Sam and his team are one of the best, I trust Sam more than my own doctor!! read more
