Drs. David and Jennifer Cretsinger
Amherst, New Hampshire
My wife Jeanne and I heard of Dr. Jennifer
and Dr. Dave in the Autumn of 2000 through an insert in a local newspaper.
At the time we, like so many people, thought of chiropractic as a type
of physical therapy for back pain. Although we didn't have back pain
per se, we had heard through acquaintances that sometimes other ailments
seemed to "magically" disappear
through chiropractic. We decided to give it a try and commenced
visits to Spinal Corrective Center in November, 2000.
Of course,
right away we learned of the fallacies of our old thinking.
And we continue with each visit to not only adjust our bones
but to adjust our minds. As a practical matter, we have noted physical
improvements which we assume are the results of a regimen of chiropractic
visits. Jeanne had experienced muscle and joint pain in her left arm, shoulders
and hips. All have decreased significantly from near constant
annoyance to now the occasional flare-up.
For me personally I also have
noticed a decrease in aches and pains throughout my body. Specifically,
I was beginning to think I would carry on my family's "tradition" of having
arthritis, as my knees and other joints would be painful on
some mornings. Since starting chiropractic I've noticed much less joint
pain; and furthermore, I enjoyed a greater resistance to colds
this past winter.
We consider one of the improvements we've received through
the chiropractic care of Dr. Jennifer and Dr. Dave is the education - the awakening of
our minds to the roles of the brain and nervous system and to "innate" intelligence
within each of us. The reading materials freely distributed at each visit
are informative and thought provoking - educating us to the poisons in
our diets, medicines, and environments that we freely consume - educating
us on how to think about our bodies and health - and educating us as
to the difference between treating symptoms and the leveraging of pre-existing
healing powers within.
We've progressed from our initial mindsets of
equating chiropractic with "back care" to realizations that chiropractic
is a "wellness" approach that strives to remove mental and physical blocks
to self healing. In the spring of 2001 we adopted a beautiful
baby girl, and we bring her for regular checks and adjustments.
We are confident that one of the ways we can maximize our daughter's
health is aggressively thwarting subluxations - allowing her own body
to operate at peak efficiency, as God intended.
