Starting in early September of the 1999-2000 school year, and continuing throughout the year, I had many colds, allergies, and sinus infections. Somewhere around April, I remember thinking, will this ever end, and will I ever feel better! And just when I thought I couldn’t feel worse, I woke up one morning and couldn’t move! I don’t know how I made it to the doctor’s office or pharmacy. The pain in my lower back was unbelievable, just taking x-rays brought tears to my eyes. The doctor prescribed pain pills, and muscle relaxes. I was popping several pills a day just to get through the day, one of my students noticed that I couldn’t walk well or stand upright, and that I couldn’t sit. I’m embarrassed to say, she also saw me taking medication. She told her mom that something was wrong with her teacher’s back. The mom sent me Dr. Mark’s card with a little note. Dr Mark had helped her!

I didn’t call Dr. Mark right away. I thought that when school was out, I would have time to rest and would feel better. That didn’t happen! I was having a hard time sleeping and my sciatica was acting up. To make matters worse, I fell. I pulled a shoulder and neck muscle. Finally, I decided to call Dr. Mark.

Immediately, after my first adjustment there was less shoulder pain and no sciatica pain! My lower back felt fine! Within a few adjustments my neck felt better. I still have allergies, nut no longer take medication fro them. They’re not bad at all! I caught a cold; within a few days it was gone! I sleep well every night. From the time I started with Dr. Mark, I no longer use any pain pills, muscle relaxes, or allergy medication. I took 2 aspirins this summer, and 2 aspirins this fall. Pretty good for someone who was always taking aspirins. I don’t remember the last time I had a headache or sciatica pain.

Plus, I’ve learned so much about my spinal column, posture and attitude. The staff at Faunce Corner Chiropractic really care! They’re very knowledgeable, always taking courses and sharing latest proven information with us, their patients. I look forward to reading the weekly articles that they provide. I’ve enjoyed attending several evening seminars. I feel that I’m part of their large and loving family. Healing my body the way God intended.
