Drs. Steven and Camilla Franson
Beverly, Massachusetts
I am the mother of four - a ten-year-old daughter and four triplet
boys. I was looking for medical alternatives to control the
asthma that two of my sons have. They have been on Albuterol
nebulizers and Prednisone since they were two years old and
having to use the medication with increased frequency. I personally
have had problems with my back, degenerative arthritis and disc for the
past ten years. I had seen orthopedic specialists, had physical therapy
and saw a previous chiropractor, but was told if I lost weight and walked
it would be better. It wasn't.
I originally made an appointment for myself
and figured I would see how it went for me and then make a
determination on whether I would send my children. I have found
Dr. Franson to be a caring, kind compassionate and skilled
practitioner. In my three months progress has been incredible. I have been
able to participate in activities with my children instead of watching
them from the sidelines. As examples, I squatted through five polar caves
in July, went on roller coasters and other rides at Canobie Lake Park and
Storyland; down Watertubes dozens of times inlluding climbing the stairs
several times in August. I also went dancing two nights in a row for three
hours each.
Before I began getting adjusted I would never have been able
to participate. I would have just cheered my children on from
the sidelines knowing that if and when I did participate I
would be in extra pain for days later. I had pain daily that
I resigned myself to live with. No more! I have had some pain free days,
which I didn't think would have ever been possible. My children and my
husband began getting their spines corrected as well. They too are progressing
well. I was surprised to learn that they had subluxations and issues with
curvatures of the spine at their young ages. I am hoping that with continued
adjustments and maintenance they won't have the problems that I have had.
I feel as a family we are on the road to happy healthy lives through healthy
spines with less of a reliance on medications.
I am also grateful to the
child-friendly staff that is able to deal with my three rambunctious
bays. If the boys couldn't feel safe and comfortable here,
than neither could I. God bless the patience of Dr. Franson and his staff
for keeping us on the road to recovery. I hope that someday the medical
profession wil be more accepting of chiropractic adjustments so that parents
can make informed decisions on their children's healthcare.
