My Back and Leg Pain Was So Bad I Was Ready to Try Anything

When did you first come to this office?
I came to the office about two weeks ago today. This was my first visit to a Chiropractor and I didn’t quite know what to expect; but I was feeling so bad I was ready to try anything.        

What was your particular condition?
Prior to coming to Dr. Grunert’s Office, I had just completed 12 weeks of physical therapy. After which I was still taking six to eight Vicoden 500/5mg tablets per day for pain, Neuroten to diminish the pain in my left leg and Vioxx for the back and joint pain. This recent bout of this reoccurring condition started on Oct 4, 2003, but this has happened about four times over the past 3 years.                                    

Were you ever treated by any physicians?
I have been treated traditionally by my physician at the University of Chicago. I was offered medication and surgical option along with the physical therapy.                        

What were your results?
Well, I was still in pain everyday. Everyday the left leg and lower back. I couldn’t walk, or lie down for very long. I was miserable.    

Who referred you or how did you find out about this office?
My co-worker Linda told me to try Chiropractic therapy and told me about Dr. Grunert. She gave me a coupon for a free exam, so I thought why not?                            

What results have you had?
It was really hard for me to believe it, however after only two weeks, I have not taken any pain medication for three days after needing them everyday for over four months I have more mobility and the pain in my left leg is relieved.

I must say something, about the office staff. From the very first phone call, I was expressed by the cordial reception. The office assistants, therapists and doctors made me feel very comfortable and welcome from the first visit.
