Dr. Angela O'Brien, Dr. Liisa Hall, Dr. Andrew Hall Danvers, MA.

I wanted to take the time to write this letter thanking you again for being there for me.
I don't know what I would have done if I had not understood what chiropractic care is all about. But thanks to you, I knew what I needed to do.

I want to share this experience with your patients.

Over 4 years ago, I found myself at your door after seeing an orthopedic surgeon, going through 3 months of physical therapy and then seeing a neurologist. I was up to 16 Advil a day and was not getting better. The next answer was surgery. I had numbness in my right arm which generated to my thumb and index finger, and lots of pain in my lower back and neck. I was not ready for surgery and that is when I started my care with you.

My first year was a full corrective program and since then, I have been on a maintenance schedule of care. Well, even with maintenance, sometimes we don't always do the right things. I had started running, without doing the proper stretches, was sitting through long car rides, and was also under a lot of stress.

I sneezed on Sunday which made my lower back feel tight, and by Monday morning, I couldn't even roll over in bed. That day was very frightening, I couldn't walk on my own and any position was extremely painful. My first thought in panic was to call 911. However, sanity hit for a moment, and I knew I needed to call you. After 2 adjustments on Monday, I could roll over and I could walk with some assistance. Tuesday, I walked very slowly on my own. Wednesday, I walked down my spiral staircase on my own. And Thursday, I drove to work and worked for 4 hours.

If I had not understood the importance of your care, I could have possibly ended up on lots of medication, maybe with a hospital stay, and then maybe even surgery. I am so grateful to you, your care and what you have taught me over the years.

Fondly,

Nancy
