I have been living with chronic hip pain for nine years since I had my younger daughter. And I had seen orthopedic surgeons. I had seen neurological surgeons. I’ve seen them all. And because I have scoliosis and because I have two rods in my spine, I was told never to see a chiropractor. Well, I work with somebody who also has these rods and sees Dr. Ryan. And he said, “Hey, you should go to my chiropractor because he sees me. So, he could see you.” And I was like, “Okay.” So, I gave it a try. And November 17th of 2011, I started seeing Dr. Ryan. And within four months, my hip pain went away. No more hip pain at all. Could walk, could sit cross-legged, could do the things that I liked to do in just general everyday activities without this chronic hip pain. In the process, it also eliminated my migraines, my sinus infections, and I haven’t had any of those since that timeframe in November. So, that’s pretty much how I came out to find out that I could even see a chiropractor was because someone else with my same situation was seeing this chiropractor.
And because of Ryan’s studies in Wisconsin with the Scoliosis Institute, he has a very good understanding of what happens and how to work with the rods in my spine and to make me feel comfortable. It was a big trust issue for me because of what I’ve always been told. And he’s very comforting, and he takes time to listen to you. He takes the time to hear what you’re saying and try to figure out what it is that you’re doing that creates that issue for you, and then, we solve it together. And he’s not, like, going to a doctor because doctors want you in and out. They want to see as many patients as possible. Ryan sees a lot of people here, but he takes the time to listen to you at the moment you walk in. When he says, “Hi,” I say, “I need this, this, this, this, and this.” And he’s like, “Okay. We got the shopping list today. Let’s do it.”
And so, we get right on it. And it works great for me because I am this, kinda, different chiropractic patient. I’m not someone who is just gonna be able to come in, be adjusted over a period of three months, and be fine. Mine is a chronic care because I have a constant curvature in my spine that you can see on the X-rays. He listens to you, he takes the time to hear what you have to say, and it’s not just about your back. Everyone who gets sick, “Go see a chiropractor. Go see the chiropractor. Go see the chiropractor.”
For me, it’s been the difference that has made my life worth having fun and living again. I couldn’t walk. Now, I can. And nine years of doctors telling me, “There’s nothing you can do,” and four months of a chiropractic care telling me, “Oh, yes we can.” I’m sorry, I don’t have much faith in doctors like I have in a chiropractor anymore. And I wouldn’t go to just anybody. I only like to see Ryan, and I only recommend Ryan. I could tell people… They’ll go to their chiropractors and say, “Oh, well, you hurt me. You did this.” Well, then, you need to see Dr. Ryan. Don’t go see them.” It’s a matter of I think a lot of people have to feel comfortable. And this is a very inviting environment. His clinic is clean. It’s friendly. It’s family-oriented. You never have to worry about if your kids run amuck. They just, kinda, shake their heads and, you know, try to keep them in line. Mine’s notorious for it. But they have the areas. And it’s nice because you don’t feel like you have to have the perfect family to come in here. They’re gonna help you be a better family by taking care of you.
