Dr. John J. Hanna - Dr. Mechelle F. Hanna Matthews Family Chiropractic Clinic
9808 Northeast Parkway, Matthews, NC 28105

I had always wanted to have a natural childbirth, but was never able to because my spine was out of line. Dr. John found the damage in my spine and fixed it. When my fifth one came around, my body was ready! My labor and delivery was so text book - my midwife said she should have videotaped it. I am not physically where I want to be. I know that with all the information I have learned here not just chiropractic but through Dr. John's classes, I see how he makes them all intertwine not just for me but for my entire family.

Sam has been adjusted since birth and has not been vaccinated. He has been so healthy!

Maddie really has never been sick also, which is a testament to how well chiropractic works for us. She is actually terrified of her pediatrician because we only go once a year. Here's one story I like to tell everyone. We all were in Target one day. Now, Maddie is a Houdini in the shopping cart. She could get out of one because she was so small. Well, Maddie fell out of the cart onto her head. I immediately scooped her up, grabbed the kids, and ran out of the door. I called you guys and Heather was like, "Bring her right over!" You all weren't even open at that time - you were there, but the doors were locked. Dr. John checked her and did some tests. He said she was going to be fine, but that he wanted to check her first thing in the morning. I've told that story to so many people and they always say, "Most people go to the emergency room or to the pediatrician first. You always call your chiropractor." That's true - I call him about everything because it's all related. Maddie also was not vaccinated because I was educated about that here, too.

Max was two when he first came here. He had been on antibiotics five months with multiple ear infections and our pediatrician said it was "tube time". After his first adjustment, his ears drained right there on the table. Max has never had another ear infection. Jackson has been the healthiest of them all. He is a stronger child because of chiropractic care.

When Callan was five, she fell off of her bike. I thought she was fine, but, two days later, she began to wet the bed. I remembered in Dr. John's health class that wetting the bed was an example of the interruption of service between the nervous system and the bladder. I brought her in to be checked and sure enough that's where she was subluxated!

The fact that my kids get right up on the table to get adjusted is just such a wonderful thing. My older two will talk about going to the chiropractor. That's their solution! They understand that it can be fixed without medications. To me what better way to go through life than knowing "I can take care of myself as long as my spine is in line."

I talk to everyone about chiropractic whenever anyone tells me anything health-related.
