I received this testimonial the other day! Its one of the most honest and moving testimonials I have ever received so I had to share!: Chiropractic changed my life I am an 18- year old teenager. I enjoy various activities such as kick boxing, swimming, and weight lifting. However, I did not always have the ability to do everything. Starting in my early teens, I started to hunch over like most teenagers do; I also gained a ton of weight. I was bordering 170 pounds. About the age of 15 or 16, people started to expect good posture. “Stand up straight!”, they said. I did try, but it seemed my back had a permanent hunch in it. I convinced myself that it would go away and get better with time. I didn’t think it was something I had to “work on”. In 2012; I had to get some X-Rays done for something else. The radiologist looked at the X-rays and said I had scoliosis. My doctor said that I needed to see a surgeon for possible surgery to get it fixed. At the time, my mom was going to see Dr.Morrow, a chiropractor, and she insisted that I go see him. My mom was convinced that Dr. Morrow could make a difference, because she thought he walked on water. I was extremely resistant. I had heard horror stories from some people about their own chiropractor. Some had to change clothes beforehand, some took weeks to get in, and some had to wait an hour in the waiting room before they even got to the doctor. So, it comes as no surprise that my mom had to drag me to the chiropractor. The environment is great, they are always happy to see me, and the entire appointment takes 15 minutes at most. I have never waited more then five or ten minuets for my turn. I didn’t think a chiropractor could do any good. I was sure surgery was the only option. I walked in with a bad attitude. When Doctor Morrow told me I could go on without surgery, I rolled my eyes and said “yea whatever.” I was dragged to the chiropractor twice a week for many months. I didn’t notice at first a difference, but my family did. They finally stopped telling me to stand up straight every five minuets. I started to look forward to going to the chiropractor. I didnt cringe and roll my eyes about it. Now, I have my weight under control after loosing 50 pounds, and I work out regularly. I walk with a straight back looking ahead instead of at the ground. I know when I go to UW I will come back at least twice a month to see this awesome chiropractor who has made a difference in my life. I am enjoying life. I still have a little bit of a curve in my back, but I think it will improve with time and chiropractic care. ~ G.L.
