Dr. Patrick Coleman Grange County Sligo, Ireland

In 2000 I met Dr. Hagan McQuaid, Doctor of Chiropractic, at a business meeting, where he gave a little talk on Chiropractic Care and wellness.  I was impressed and decided that I would give "it" a try as I was having some low back pain and discomfort.  I had no idea at all what it was all about or what to expect.  As he adjusted me over the next 4 to 5 months I found myself getting better, in 3 specific ways.

1 While walking, I felt that I was actually floating, and feeling about 8 feet high.  I had that "poetry in motion feeling".  It was a fantastic feeling, and if anyone had said that I could ever feel that good while walking, I would not have believed them.

2 The other way was in the increase in stamina that I had, for work, especially when working very late (up to 0300-0400hrs. in the morning).  I felt that I could just keep going.

3 Thirdly, my back was not giving me the same kind of trouble at all.

They were 3 fantastic feelings.  Those feelings stayed with me as long as he and his team were adjusting me, up to June 2004, when he moved to another location.

My wife, on the other hand, had started to going to Dr. Pat from about June 2004, but I said that I would leave it for a "while" as I felt grand and did not need any chiropractic care.  I still thought that I was doing well, and my wife was making good progress with Dr. Pat.  In June 2005, I decided that I would take up Chiropractic wellness care again, and it was amazing what I discovered.  Without realising it I hade actually lost the "poetry in motion feeling", even thought I was not having that old back problems of 5 years ago.

Since coming to Dr. Pat, I have regained that fantastic "poetry in motion" feeling.  Late night working stamina has improved.  I enjoy the adjustments and can feel that they are continuing, and will continue, to do me good.  He has also alerted me to a few problems that I did not know I had and he is working on these to help sort them out, some will take quite a wile, others not so long.

I feel that Chiropractic Care is a very misunderstood form of medicine, and I believe strongly in it.  Most people see it as dealing with back trouble only, whereas it is really dealing with nerve flow and total wellness, hard to take in and understand until you actually feel it.  I can also see how it has benefited my daughter in another practise in Glasgow as well as my wife here in this practise.

I see it this way.  You go to a chiropractor when you are well to ensure that you keep yourself well, rather than in conventional medicine where you go to a doctor when you are actually sick.  Chiropractic care is essential for us all, people of all ages, and I know that I am benefiting from it. I would like to thank Dr. Pat, Kim and the team for their dedicated commitment to me, my wife, and daughter, when she is at home, and their large family of clients.
