For more than a year, I have been suffering from neck and back pain. It started in my neck and with time affected my shoulder blades and my lower back. I work with a laptop all day, and I am so busy that I use the laptop at the kitchen table, sitting on the sofa at night, and even in bed. What started with a little discomfort that I attributed to stress, long hours on the computer became a huge problem. I started having migraines, and the pain I was afflicted with kept me awake at night. I started decreasing my physical activities I had because of the pain constantly flaring. I had deep tissue massage when time permitted, but I would only feel good for few hours and the pain would come back. I stopped jogging and walking. My neck and back could not take the impact. I quit Flamenco dance lessons because every move would make me feel miserable for days. I continued to work long hours sitting in front of the computer and of course I did not feel better. I became sedentary and put on weight.

In March, the pain was excruciating. I decided it was enough and I needed to take care of my health. I had seen Performance Sport and Spine’s office while driving in town. I had also seen articles in the newspaper.

There are no words to describe my experience. From the minute I stepped in their office I knew there would be hope. Tamra at the front desk makes you feel like home. She immediately reassured me that they will do everything they can to make me feel better. She explains everything I needed to know. From billing to appointments and insurance paperwork, she took care of everything.

At Performance Sports and Spine they took the time to really go over my health issues and medical history. I had the pleasure to work with Doctor Dickerson. His primary goal was to ease my pain. He came up with a treatment plan, we discussed every detail, and I knew at all times what the next step was going to be. For the first time in my life I did not feel like a number. Someone did care about the pain I was going through but they were also working towards fixing the problem I had… not masking it. Every appointment I could see some improvements. I went to my appointments. I was encouraged and never rushed. Doctor Dickerson always took the time to address my concerns, answer my questions and performed outstanding chiropractic care. We are now mid April and I have no pain. I sleep at night, I started walking again and I am working on strengthening all my muscles so the same problem does not occur again. I think it is one thing to relieve a patient’s pain but when you get to fix the problems it is more than extraordinary. In a short period of time I have a new healthy back and neck, but most importantly I am pain and migraine free. I am beyond thankful for exceptional care, knowledgeable staff and a stress free experience.
