I came to Dr. Stark’s office because I had pain in my lower back that was so intense I couldn’t get out of my car in the morning. It hurt to straighten up, and I had to hold onto walls or desks at work to move around the office. By the end of my work day I was exhausted from dealing with the pain. I got very little done at home in the evenings because it was only comfortable if I lay down.

My lower back pain prevented me from working in my flower garden and putting in a patio around my back deck. I also couldn’t lift my granddaughters, which is very difficult for me. I’m very close to all three of them, and spend a lot of time with them. They didn’t understand why Grandma couldn’t scoop them up!

Before seeing Dr Stark I was taking 600-800mg ibuprofen every 6-8 hours. I’d been to MD’S before for back problems, and that was their answer-muscle relaxers, mask the pain but don’t look for the cause.

After starting my chiropractic care I was feeling better after each adjustment. At one point the pain was no longer in my lower back but in my left hip and actually a more excruciating pain than I had before. Dr. Stark tried a different adjustment and within 2 treatments I felt fine. It was as if nothing had ever been wrong. It has now been a week of pain free moving, and I’m keeping my granddaughters for the weekend!
