I was in extreme discomfort. I had severe burning under my left shoulder
blade, and generalized pain at the base of my neck and in between my shoulder
blades. I could find no comfortable resting position. All I could do was
stand and pace.
I had tried over-the-counter heating pads that stick to the skin, as I was out of town at the time of my injury.
A family member heard Dr. Pfeiffer do a presentation about chiropractic care at an adult learning session and recommended I see him. I made an appointment with Dr. Pfeiffer as soon as I realized I needed more professional help.
First, I prefer to try everything else before seeking prescription drugs or invasive procedures. Second, the office kindly fit me in their busy schedule. Dr. Pfeiffer was very compassionate and took the time to listen (very much appreciated!). I also appreciated his honesty in communicating that if he couldn’t help me, he would refer me to someone who could. He worked with me regarding pain relief and reviewed a treatment plan, patiently answering all of my numerous questions. I found him to be very caring, thorough and determined to assist with a positive outcome recovery. I was Impressed that the x-rays and MRI results concurred with his suspected diagnosis of my condition. Additionally, when he was out of town he and his staff were very helpful with referring me to another chiropractor in Dr. Pfeiffer’s absence, to provide uninterrupted treatment. This is all greatly appreciated!
I enjoy walking, swimming, and riding horses. My condition interfered with all of them, most definitely. I’d never sustained a back injury before - it definitely interfered with my lifestyle. Today, I can comfortably do all.
The burning sensation is gone, as is the pain between my shoulder blades! My range of motion on my left side (arm/shoulder) has improved enormously. I’m much, much happier.
In all honestly, I knew of chiropractic (or thought I did) but never thought of it in terms of “my own health.” I think it truly is wonderful and should be a part of everyone’s health regime. It makes such wonderful sense and it truly is connected to maintaining health awareness.
Many thanks to Dr. Pfeiffer and staff for their genuine care and concern! It’s enormously appreciated.
