 I bent over to pick something up off the floor and felt something “go out”

 Dear Doc Barton,

  Last Wed. I really knew I was in big trouble when I bent over to pick something up off the floor and felt something “go out” in my lower back. Immediately I felt horrible shooting pains in my lower back and legs. I could hardly move. I was so scared. I have heard of people  doing the same thing to their lower back and heard of the pain and the agony they went through for months, even years. This is the busiest time of the year at my work and I am essentially irreplaceable. Taking time off now would have made my boss very unhappy with me. Not to mention a real financial hardship. 

 As always, you were just a phone call away from my disaster. Thank you a million times from letting me come right back for my second visit in less than an hour. You started the process of healing me right away, before more damage could be done. You took away some of the pain, right away, and as always you were your usual comforting self.   

 Then later that day you let me come in AGAIN and really put whatever was “out” totally back “in.” I couldn’t believe the relief I got. It was like whatever injury I had gotten earlier that day was weeks old and well on its way to being completely healed.

  The next couple of days you continued to work your magic and the pain was all, but completely gone. Now it is Tues. (not even a week later) and my back feels great- no pain- not even a little bit. AND I never had to even miss a day at work.  

 My only wish is that I had known you when my other back and neck problems started, so you could have prevented a lot, or all, of the suffering I had to live with all these years. I know that you with your swift intervention, have saved me years of pain and misery.

  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. My life is once again mine- thanks to you and your skill. You are the greatest.

 Sincerely,

            Melisande Thornton.
