Dr. Angela O'Brien, Dr. Liisa Hall, Dr. Andrew Hall Danvers,
MA.
I first saw Dr. O'Brien in November, 1994 because I have had problems
with my back for at least 12 years. Every time I would see
my orthopedic doctor, he would tell me to rest, give me a prescription
for painkillers and muscle relaxants and tell me to come back in 1 or
2 weeks to check me. This sometimes went on for months if my back was
particularly bad. I would spend my days at home on the couch falling
asleep from the medication.
I finally got tired of living like this.
When my back started hurting again in October, 1994, I called
the Dr. O'Brien and made an appointment. I was seen by Dr. Angela who
explained to me what was happening in my back and how it was affecting
the rest of my body.
They took x-rays and determined a course of care
for me. For whatever reason, I did not stick with the corrective
care plan and in March of 1995, I was back at the office in serious
pain. This time, I could barely walk. Dr. Angela was wonderful, never
saying a word about my neglecting her recommendations. She saw me 5
days a week, sometimes twice in one day if the pain was bad enough.
Needless
to say, I stuck to the plan this time, never missing an appointment
and always doing my exercises. This time, I got through my
episode WITHOUT any drugs and I now feel great! I always do my exercises
and stretches and I feel like I have control over my body.
I feel healthier, stronger and more flexible than I have in years.
Thank
you, you made an incredible difference in my life.
Sincerely,
Jeanne W.
