Drs. David and Jennifer Cretsinger
Amherst, New Hampshire
While I've often joked of ordering a new set of vertebrae from
a mail order catalog, I never actually believed that I'd receive one.
And if that were all that Chiropractic care has done for me, it would
be plenty. But it's only the beginning. I am awed by the way my state
of health is being restored. Logically I know that chiropractic principles
are based in science, but I feel as if nothing short of a miracle could
have done this.
At twenty, an industrial accident jarred and twisted
my back. I'd had subluxations prior, but that was the point
where I could no longer run and jump, at least not without a disproportionate
share of pain. Shortly behind that followed chronic digestive
troubles. Soon after, an arthritic spine that halted much of the physical
activity that I enjoyed in life: hiking, camping, all kinds of sports.
Throughout my adult life the stiffness and pain were immobilizing. Playing
with my children was often agonizing. Moreover, the anti-depressant
Prozac was now in my life. At nearly forty, I was a mess.
Only three
months ago, while seeking relief from chronic bronchitis that had persisted
for months, I heard a rare radio spot for Spinal Corrective Center.
Physicians had openly admitted that there was nothing they could do,
except to prescribe medicines that "could perhaps ease the symptoms".
The chiropractors at Spinal Corrective Center, after evaluating
my condition, spoke with me about what was needed to return
my body to a state of health. Their initial adjustments were aimed at
relieving my immediate problem, and they did. For the longer term, though,
they had clearly illustrated to my why, because of the condition of
my spine, I was in such poor health.
After only a few weeks of care I
began to notice the stiffness disappear. The pain was frequently absent.
I was comfortable. I began gardening, doing heavy yard work, and even
though I shouldn't, chasing my daughters around the yard - with no harsh
repercussions. I've even bought a new pair of hiking shoes.
Six weeks ago I stopped taking the anti-depressants. The years are falling
away, and every now and then an involuntary smile just seems to appear,
for no other reason.
My family and I are delighted to have met Dr. Jennifer
and Dr. David. They are noble people, practicing a noble profession.
