MY PATIENT'S TESTIMONIAL-- ROSS WEAVER, DALLAS COWBOYS

"Since I have been going to the chiropractic care sessions, my body has experienced remarkable positive change, from small things such as waking up comfortably and sleeping much better, to larger examples such as my muscle recovery after working out.  This is very helpful for my job as a professional football player for the Dallas Cowboys.  Chiropractic care will help enhance my performance."  --Ross Weaver, 2/10/11


I first met Ross at a health screening I did for O'Dell Family Chiropractic at LA FITNESS in Southfield, MI. 

He passed by the booth and looked at our television screen playing chiropractic and sports messages, a computer monitor with examples of previous surface EMG'S, and all our pamphlets about chiropractic care.  We were offering free surface EMG's (electromyograph) and free standing spinal exams to everyone at the gym. 

After doing the screening, I talked to Ross about his condition and his high-impact sports lifestyle, and how chiropractic was ESSENTIAL to not just becoming pain-free and having full function NOW, but to having great longevity in the sport, and PREVENTING chronic illness and disability like degenerative arthritis in the future.

Later, I discussed with him how each time he played on the field (whether tackling someone or getting tackled) was the equivalent to having a minor car accident, which causes whiplash, scar tissue, and misalignments of the spinal vertebrae.  These changes then create improper biomechanical stress on the entire spine, creating disc bulges, degenerative disc changes and osteoarthritis over time.

I also discussed with Ross about how important regular chiropractic care was for enhancing flexibility, decreasing muscle spasms, increasing ranges of motion, and allowing 100% nerve impulse to be sent to every single cell, tissue, organ, and function in the body.

Since beginning regular chiropractic care, his body has gone through incredible changes in the levels of muscle spasms present on a daily basis, his ability to sleep deeply and comfortably, and his ability to weight train and run without as much soreness or tightness afterward. 

When he returns to training in Dallas in the spring/summer, Ross assures me that he will continue with regular chiropractic care.

I hope that he stays healthy all throughout his football career, and beyond.  Moreover, like Jerry Rice, I hope he may be able to greatly lengthen his career with corrective and preventative chiropractic care.

Have you had your chiropractic evaluation today?  Even if you are not a football player, your lifestyle can be causing repetitive stresses on your spine, causing vertebral subluxations (misalignments which impinge on nerves).

Chiropractic care is not only about pain.  It's about maximizing performance and optimizing health.  Would you like to function at a higher rate than you are now?

MY OFFICE WAS FEATURED ON CABLE CHANNEL15 SOUTHFIELD, MI

This cable tv spot was aired in the late fall of 2010 in the Channel 15's segment called Business Matters.  It  is a local city channel for Southfield, Michigan.

I have worked at O'Dell Family Chiropractic in Lathrup Village, Michigan since August, 2010.  Dr. Kevin O'Dell has been a colleague and friend of mine since we attended Life University, School of Chiropractic, together in the 1990's.  He graduated in 1994 and I, in 1995.  Prior to working at this office, I worked at Cousineau Chiropractic Life Center in Riverview, MI for 13 years.  I helped to create and run one of the largest chiropractic offices in the country.

We have 3 chiropractors on staff.  Besides Dr. O'Dell and myself, we have Dr. Heather Schueler, who has been with the practice for over 5 years.

Although I have a small part in the video, the other 2 doctors do a great job of representing and educating the public about the history and benefits of chiropractic care, especially for children.

Give chiropractic care a chance to change your life and health, naturally, safely, and effectively! 

Give yourself and your children the gift of true preventative health care.  Schedule a spinal check-up with a caring and experienced chiropractor,  regardless of whether you have symptoms or not!

CHIROPRACTIC PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Tracee Bowie is a wonderful patient of mine.  I first met her at a Southfield, Michigan summer festival in 2010 where my office was an exhibitor doing health screenings and she was a volunteer for the city.  She is a public school physical education teacher and volleyball coach. 

This is her testimonial:


REASON YOU STARTED CHIROPRACTIC CARE:  

Neck and lower back--bulging disc and extreme pain

WHAT ARE YOUR RESULTS/BENEFITS FROM CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

I am able to make it through my teaching day without all of the burning in my neck and the extreme pain in my back.  I am playing better volleyball--can make it through five games.  Dr. Kim talked to me at an event and shared some personal info about her life that convinced me, someone who was very hesitant, to give it a try.  If I had not come in my only other option were shots or eventually surgery.  This was a much better decision by far.

Testimonials like these have poured into chiropractic offices throughout the world since 1895 when chiropractic was first discovered by D.D. Palmer.  Chiropractic is a safe, gentle, effective, and natural profession which stresses corrective and preventative health, and treating the entire person as a whole.  We chiropractors concentrate on optimizing the patient's health and function by removing the nerve interferences which prevent the body's innate ability to heal itself.  We are not focused on medicating and covering up the symptoms in the body, but rather, in removing the causes of dysfunction and dis-ease.

Chiropractic adjustments do not CURE any disease, illness, or pain.  When vertebrae out of their proper alignment, this condition can cause nerve interferences (vertebral subluxations) which can often lead to symptoms. Once these interferences are removed, usually the result is the absence of these symptoms.

Therefore, chiropractic care has been known to be effective in relieving symptoms of headaches, asthma, sinus/allergy problems, stomach problems, colic, ear infections, neck/back pain, extremity pain and numbness, as well as fatigue and sleeping problems, to name a few.

Regular chiropractic care, in conjunction with healthy eating, good sleeping habits, proper exercise, and a positive mental attitude, have all shown to be effective health and wellness tools. 

Don't forget to check your spine for proper alignment and nerve function.  Find a caring, experienced chiropractor today!
