For years, the Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic has been providing relief to distressed patients of the Villages. At the facility, we strive to provide comfort to the patients by adopting all the means possible. Over the years, we have seen various types of patients. However, the greatest satisfaction is achieved when skeptic patients are satisfied with the treatment outcomes. One such patient who not only accepts our treatment type but also recommends it to others is Kathryn. Her experience at the Legacy clinic is a testimony to the high-quality services and the bravura of Dr.John Theeck!
Kathryn: A Dragon Boater with Shoulder and Back Pain
Dragon boating is a water sport that requires a team of participants to propel the boat using single-blade paddles. The nature of the sport requires players to train their upper bodies, especially the arms. Thus, overuse injuries are common in dragon boat players.
Kathryn is an enthusiastic dragon boater who started feeling discomfort in her left shoulder. Later, she started noticing that she was unable to sleep on the left side due to excruciating pain. However, she passed it off thinking it was an overuse injury (that had caused a rotator cuff injury), and waited for the symptoms to go away with time (and rest). But, things didn’t go as she expected and soon Kathryn was losing flexibility. She was unable to touch her toes on the left side (which alarmed her!). Moreover, the pain now also popped up on the right side of the body too. A significant ache in the rib cage and the right hip bone interfered with her daily activities.
Plagued with pain, Kathryn went for conventional medicinal therapy for some time. She was hesitant to try out chiropractic therapy as she was skeptical of the treatment’s safety and prognosis. On her visit to a licensed massage therapist, it was pointed out to her that her body was out of alignment.
So, though skeptical, she made an appointment with Dr.John Theeck at the suggestion of a friend. Here is how she felt during her treatment.
Appointment With Dr.John Theeck
According to Kathryn the staff at the facility was very friendly and welcoming. The nurse took a thorough history of her pain and disability.
Then Dr.John Theeck came into the room. The specialist looked professional and listened to every detail she provided. “I was impressed by the amount of time he gave to me and how calmly he listened to my problems”, she added. Dr.John accurately understood her symptoms.
What impressed Kathryn the most was that Dr.John immediately noticed her nervousness and anxiousness about the chiropractic adjustments. Therefore, the good doctor made her comfortable by dealing with her with utmost compassion and care. This ultimately led her to feel more confident and relaxed about the treatment.
Very professionally, Dr.John started chiropractic adjustments of Kathryn”s of the back. And straight away she could feel the body fixing. Then, as Dr.John fixed her neck, a loud noise cracking sound startled her. But, as soon as she rose from the table there was no discomfort in her back or in her shoulder!
Due to Dr.John’s compassionate treatment and guidance, the chiropractic session was relaxing and comforting.
After The Adjustments
The treatment changed her life! She can now sleep on her side pain-free and she has successfully regained her lost flexibility.
She returned to the clinic after a week for a follow-up checkup.
Unlike common money-making chiropractors, Dr.John didn’t force her into another session because her body maintained alignment well. This honest approach of Dr.John further impressed her. Now, she advises all people with pain/discomfort to visit Dr.John.
Kathryn’s Advice To Others
Kathryn exclaimed and we quote:
“Dr.John Theeck was awesome! I highly recommend him for his excellent communication skills. He is patient, kind, respectful, and inspired me with confidence, demonstrating understanding and compassion”.
So, if you have a pain that is keeping you from doing your favorite activities, please visit the Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic ASAP!
