“As a nurse who has been trained in the medical model, I have always been skeptical of chiropractors. Three months ago when I bent down to pick up my sixteen-month-old son I felt excruciating pain. I ran to my doctor. After six weeks of drugs, tests, and not being able to care for my son, I was begging for surgery to relieve the pain. My surgery was scheduled for a few weeks away. My husband had just been in to see Dr. O’Connor, who was recommended by a friend, for his chronic lower back pain and he was singing her praises. Being desperate for relief, I decided to try her. After my very first visit the pain was immediately relieved. It took another few weeks for me to become pain free, and by then I was convinced. I canceled my surgery, and I’m now running and jumping with my son again!”
