Gratitude for Chiropractic

Dr. Lisa:

Hey everyone, Dr. Lisa here from Essentials of Life Chiropractic, and welcome to our insights and inspiration about gratefulness and having gratitude for others. This is Kurt, one of my patients who've been with me for a while, and we're very thankful for patients like Kurt. And then also, if you guys didn't know, he's also an Andover firefighter, so you should all be thanking him for his service. Thank you-

Kurt:

You're welcome.

Dr. Lisa:

... for all that you do. And all of you should be thankful, because he is the one who likes to bring the fire truck every year for our Trunk or Treat.

Kurt:

Yeah.

Dr. Lisa:

Yeah. It's fun, all the kids love it. So something that Kurt... Well, tell us, Kurt, why did you start coming in? Tell us a little bit about yourself, why you started coming in and why you continue to keep coming.

Kurt:

Great. Well, about five years ago or so, I was lifting weights, doing things that I thought were right, and I was not. I did some poor form on a lot of different things, ended up with two bulging discs in my back. It was bad. Went to the doctor, did all the normal things that people do, got the pain pills, got the muscle relaxers, did the therapy. Nothing was helping. So I had a friend suggest Dr. Lisa, say, "Come on in here, check it out." Walked in the door and you took care of me.

Dr. Lisa:

I did.

Kurt:

So without her, I wouldn't have been able to, I guess, continue being a firefighter. They were talking about fusing discs in my back, which I think would've probably ended that.

Dr. Lisa:

You're right.

Kurt:

Yeah. So ever since, we've been hanging out at least once a week, we were on a plan to keep me healthy.

Dr. Lisa:

We're on a plan, yeah.

Kurt:

And I keep bringing everybody else in here that I can.

Dr. Lisa:

All right. Well, thank you, Kurt for coming in- sharing your story. And stay tuned for more insights and inspirations.

Be Well

Dr. Lisa
