Pain Relief !

by Bill Yurgen (Mimi Vanderhaven)

    I just love doing a story about a successful business. Even Better if the business is engaged in helping people get more enjoyment out of life. And it's the absolute best-likethis time-when I get to chat with a really enthusiastic client.

    If you are suffering from chronic pain in your back, neck or head, let me tell you the story of Cyndi M. a client and fan of Dr. Nigel Brayer and the Broadview Back Clinic at Living Tree center for Healing.

   Although Cyndi revealed her age to me, let's just say that she is a very young Baby Boomer. In fact, the longer we talked, the older I felt in comparison:

 Cyndi: I have worked in sales for years and much of my work involved time with customers as well as time in the office. Occasionally I'm required to go into a customer's business to do a "store-set." That usually involves a lot of intense heavy lifting, bending, and contoring. several years ago I injured my self doing a re-set, which resulted in pain in my neck and lower back and had to see a doctor. That doctor also found that I had the beginning of arthritis in my neck. I began to suffer from chronic pain that would not go away on its own.

Bill: What was the outlook?

Cyndi: Not good. Surgery was a possible option and medication was holding the pain at bay, but neither was a remedy that I felt good about for the long-term. I began my search for another approach to my problem.

Bill: How did you happen upon Broadview Back Clinic?

Cyndi: Actually, my sister recommended it. She had also suffered from chronic pain and found relief there. When i first came in for an evaluation to see if I was a candidate for treatment. I was immediately impressed by how caring Dr. Brayer seemed to be. Three treatments later, I was feeling a great deal of relief. I know that doesn't happen for everyone.

Bill: Did you continue with treatment or go into some form of maintenance program?

Cyndi: Dr. Brayer taught me how to do some back exercises that helped prevent my pain from returning. He also taught me about the holistic aspect of my therapy. Proper nutrition and moderate exercise along with routine maintenance therapy were the keys to not only being pain free, but also to good health. I joined Weight Watchers and enjoyed a great deal of success there, got busy at work, and eventually stopped visiting Broadview Back Clinic. But that was a "big mistake on my part."

Bill: How so?

Cyndi: I got hurt at work again and the pain returned. I began treatments with Dr. Brayer again, and once again the relief was significant. I am now on permanent maintenance to prevent a re-occurrence and I'm exercising often. I feel a renewed sense of empowerment.

Bill: What do you mean?

Cyndi: A young acquaintance in her 20s noticed how much energy I have and challenged me to join her in the Rite-aid Cleveland Marathon this May. And you know what? I am going to do it. I'm in training now.
