Dear Dr. Peruch
It has been (6 months) since my last office visit.
We have been very busy with my 91 year old parents and our new
business, but I have continued regularly with the neck traction and
low back exercise with the stretch band, as you instructed me.
Since your course of treatment I have had no back pain, and I am
very sure that X-rays would show a nicely shaped, regular neck
(except for the little spurs that had begun to form). And the
Physical labor I have Subjected myself to since buying the boat
storage business has been very intense, including trash cleanup,
lifting, and installing heavy gates, digging many holes with a pick and
shovel, carpentry, painting, plumbing, electrical work, and at home,
my old nemesis-vacuuming.
It took time. I believe your course of
treatment took about six months. But I would not trade a single
office visit for anything. Not only did your treatment assist my
body to properly align itself, you taught me good habits regarding
the use of my back, and the proper exercises. And now, although I
use my back a lot, I don't misuse it. So the proper use of my back,
along with the strength of the back muscles I now have, doubly
protects me from new injury.
So I want to thank you for your role
in restoring my good strong back and neck. I feel that if I
continued as above, that I will have a life of no back or neck pain.
I hope that your new patients realize that they are not going to
walk in and the first adjustment will pop everything permanently back
into place. They must devote time for regular visits and form new
habits for a lasting healthy back. Yes, in the past I have been
adjusted for back pain and got some relief. But it never lasted,
because it was just treating the symptom.
Again thank you very
much, Doctor.
Sincerely,
R & J Johnston
