                                          Condition: KNEE INJURY to World Class Athlete










    As a competitive runner I jog anywhere from 30-70 miles a week. Running has been a big part of my life for the
    past 10 years. I had it stripped away from me when I suffered a knee injury. It immediately limited my running to a
    slight jog for no more than a mile or two. I tried everything to make it better but the doctors offered no solutions. I
    assumed chiropractic care was only for the spine and back pain. Now that I have spent time with Dr. Hobbs, I am
    amazed at the extent of their knowledge of the human body and how many different angles are related to the
    spine and nervous system. My knee is great, and Dr. Hobbs has educated me on many areas in my overall
    health. In 3 weeks training I ran a 5k for fun and I was 30 seconds off of my lifetime best. Special Notice: Jordan
    got back from Switzerland where he was one of a few Americans chosen to compete in the World Championship
    Competition Duathlon which is swimming and running.

    Symptoms: LOWER BACK PAIN Condition: SPORT INJURY PAIN FOR 10 YEARS

    This is a story of a person who couldn’t tie his own shoe laces with out having pain in his lower back. Do you know
    anyone who hurts while tying their shoe laces? If you do, we would be honored to help them. While in high school
    and college, I played a lot of sports. I played football and also did some weight lifting. The combination of these
    activities caused me to have pain throughout my body. For ten years, I have had soreness in my right shoulder
    and lower back. I also injured my right hip a while back while snow sledding. My wife and kids have been coming to
    Dr. Hobbs since 2003 but had been unsuccessful in getting me to come in. When I was asked about my general
    impression of chiropractic care before coming here, my reaction as “HA HA HA Chiropractors are quacks”. I was
    sure there was nothing he could do for me. Dr. Hobbs has helped me tremendously; he is very open and not only
    asks questions but he really listens to me and gives me suggestions on how he can better help me and how I can
    better help myself. My shoulder is more flexible, my lower back pain is gone and I have more energy thanks to the
    vitamins he suggested I take. Not only can I now put on my own socks but I can also tie my own shoe laces as well.
    I now have a brighter outlook on life. I also have a better understanding on what Chiropractic Care is all about.
    Most important, Dr. Hobbs has saved me from surgery!

    Condition: STOMACH PAINS FOR YEARS

    I decided to take my two young daughters in to see Dr. Hobbs. One is six and the other is four. The 6-year-old
    had complained about her knees hurting for two years. She also had to frequently urinate. She wouldn’t eat much
    and would get full quickly and for her entire life had been producing white round stools every other day. She was
    also always very fatigued and would frequently sleep in. Just after two months of treatment, her bowel movements
    and knee pain had improved. She is more active and doesn’t need to sleep in. She’s only urinating a few times a
    day now compared to six or more and has had an 80% improvement. My 4-year-old also had a lot of stomach pain
    and gas. In two months her constipation improved and is able to pass gas with no pain. Her tummy has even
    gotten smaller and she has more energy. Dr. Hobbs put them both on different supplements and I learned to feed
    them healthier. This along with our adjustments, has made life a lot better for our whole family. Thanks to Dr.
    Hobbs

    Condition: DIZZINESS & SEVERE PAIN

    Before I began seeing Dr. Hobbs I thought I would have to live with carpal tunnel syndrome, dizziness 5 to 6 times
    a week and walking carefully so that I didn’t hurt my lower back and experience shooting pain down my leg. My
    finger tips would start to tingle if I was working on the computer for more than 15 minutes. At night, my hand would
    go numb or would throb with pain. I used magnetic therapy to reduce the pain, however, that just gave me
    temporary relief. Now I can enjoy working on the computer and making craft items. At the age of 15, I was
    diagnosed with Syncopal Episodes. For the last several years, I had been dealing with dizzy spells, which I
    contributed to this illness. I didn’t think there was a whole lot I could do to correct the dizziness. It is nice not to feel
    the room spin. My lower back was so out of adjustment that I had to be careful when I would walk or turn. One
    missed step and a shooting pain would run down my leg, get me off balance or just make me freeze with pain. I
    now enjoy playing with my granddaughter & numerous pets. I am very pleased that my husband began seeing Dr.
    Hobbs and recommended that I do the same. Thank you Dr. Hobbs, Anali and Maryjane, for making all our visits
    very pleasant. It’s been such a long time since I felt this good.
