"After living in constant pain for 6 years, this is the first time I am pain free..”
- P.A. Jenkintown

"Most people fear dying young, yet they do not realize that there is a much more frightening existence. That is to live a long life and be constantly ill; the type of illness that keeps you from taking a walk on a sunny day or going to a party with your family. That was my life since I was 35 years old. Due to serious health issues I had a hysterectomy, colostomy and had my thyroid removed by the time I was fifty. 
Many times I had to cancel social plans or not go to work due to overwhelming chronic pain and exhaustion. After so many years I started to accept that this would be the life I would lead and I was lucky to be alive. However life has changed tremendously for me today.
All of my dear friends and family are startled when they see what I can do today. I really have to thank my son, who has been my chiropractor for the past five years. It is important for the reader to know that I never thought of going to a chiropractor because I never had back problems. Having little exposure to the field, before my son became a chiropractor, I did not realize that this field of medicine was the one that could help me the most.
For the first time, I had a doctor look at my whole lifestyle and insist on certain changes. Before this time, I was just given more medications to keep going. First, he started bi-monthly adjustments with me. As a follow-up he gave me a regimen of simple exercises that I could do to keep my body pain free until his next treatment.  I was not sure how this would help but knew I couldn’t be in much worse shape. This was the beginning of my road to recovery. As a chiropractor he looked at my total lifestyle. Treatments and exercises were part of the picture. He also recommended that since I was missing all of my large intestine and part of my small intestine I begin juicing one meal a day. Also, I added certain supplements that he recommended.
The road to improvement did not happen overnight. I had to keep up my routine of nutrition, adjustments, and exercises. Over time my life has changed. The best example that I can give was the experience I had yesterday. For ten years I took the fifth graders on a day long trip to the Renaissance Faire. In the past, either I was too sick to attend or rode the bus and then went to the nurses office at the Faire to lie down.  Yesterday I was on the same trip that I took so many times before. On this occasion it was a pleasure. While some of the younger parents slept on the bus ride going to the Faire and coming home, I was wide awake and feeling great. During the day I was able to attend all of the events with my students and was pain free.  People who knew me for the past twenty years were shocked.
The answer to some of my health problems was so simple yet I never thought of it. Today I know that as a result of the treatments and life style changes recommended by Dr. Mike I am able to do things that I thought would never be possible.  Now I understand that chiropractic medicine is not just for back pain. Chiropractic gave me this food for thought, I may have lived a long life but the quality of that life has totally changed. Today I can enjoy activities that I thought I would never be able to do again."
