Has pain ever stopped you from spending time with family?
My patient Jerry told me he would play touch football with his entire family on Thanksgiving morning.
With three kids, a full time job, and a wife who was always traveling - that time was invaluable.
But last year he got into a car accident driving home from work.
Thankfully, his injuries were minor. But, they did stop him from playing football on Thanksgiving.
Which he later told me left him feeling like he let his family down.
Before coming to Connect, he had tried physical therapy for his neck and shoulder. It helped a little, but he still couldn’t play with his kids or even throw a football.
And that was just the beginning.
He couldn’t drive his kids around without pain, and could barely carry his youngest child.
So this fall when football season started back up, he began to worry about the Thanksgiving tradition.
Finally, he’d had enough and decided to give us a call after one of his best friends highly recommended he come in.
While he admitted he was skeptical to see a chiropractor for his shoulder pain, he was out of options and trusted his friend.
So, Jerry took a chance on us.
We introduced a plan of care specifically for him. Then his life slowly started to piece back together.
He put in the effort, motivated to get back to being an active father, hoping to play in that Thanksgiving bowl. (Even I felt the stakes, it was like rehabbing Tom Brady)
Eventually, he got back to being active. And today, I know he’s out there playing football with his family.
He didn’t let his life change for the worse by giving up what he loved, and you shouldn’t either.
You can book a call with us to see if we can help you get pain free so you NEVER have to miss out on family time.
Talk soon,
Dr. G and Dr. Mylee
