Drs. Bruce Wong and Dr. Katherine Higgins-Katoa, Honolulu, Hawaii
Aloha. My name is Tres Chere. I first came to Chiropractic USA
in November of 2002. At the time I was 27 years old and suffering
from constant upper, lower back pain and sciatica. My pain and immobility
was regularly preventing me from going to work and the simplest
of daily tasks were difficult if not impossible. I was regularly taking
strong pain killers just to be able to get out of bed.
I had been to a
neurologist who said that surgery was my only hope of relief.
Thankfully, I had enough sense to refuse surgery. I began to pray for
healing and that God would somehow give me a way to get healthy and mobile
again. After a prayer session for healing at my church a pastor friend
referred me to Dr. Bruce Wong. I agreed to go in for a check up with
some skepticism because I had been to other Chiropractors previously
without significant results.
My initial consultation, exam and x-rays
revealed numerous spinal subluxations which were restricting
circulation, proper nerve flow and my body's natural ability to heal.
These subluxations were the result of a lifetime of untreated injuries
due to several car accidents, sports activities and mundane daily activities.
After
seeing my x-rays I had no doubt that I needed to commit to a
lifetime of chiropractic care and starting immediately! I had to sacrifice
a lot financially to be able to afford chiropractic care but
in reality the cost I had already paid by not receiving chiropractic
care was much higher. At the time, I was working only part-time for my
church and receiving only a $500 stipend each month! I committed to treatment,
and with much prayer somehow God always provided the finances.
Soon
after my first adjustment I realized improvements in my mobility
and reduction in my pain. As Dr. Wong's staff taught me how to sit, stand,
lift and even sleep properly my pain decreased even more.
Within a few days I was able to go to work and resume activities
such as swimming, walking and even started resistance training for the
first time in my life. My six month checkup and x-ray's revealed that
my subluxations had been significantly improved. I was on my way to a
lifetime of optimal health.
It is now four years later and I no longer
have sciatica, numbness in my limbs nor do I have constant pain.
I am free to do most any activity I wish. I exercise regularly, regularly,
including cardio and resistance training. I no longer need to
take pain killers or other drugs to get out of bed and I have been able
to work regularly. For the first time since I was a teenager, I have
hope for a future free of debilitating pain and immobility. My God given
potential for life and health has been restored.
I thank God for answering
my prayers and leading me to Dr. Wong's care. Committing to
a lifetime of chiropractic care was one of the best decisions I have
ever made.
