Betty finds the best solution for her husband’s back pain
Did you know that chronic low back pain is negatively affecting 8 out of every 10 Americans? However, not everyone knows the secret to success for making this common problem an uncommon occurrence! At Peachtree City Acupuncture we have a proven solution to get you back on your feet doing what you love.
Captain Craig Johnson of Peachtree City, GA was one such patient. He had been suffering with chronic low back pain since he had retired after 30 years of flying for Delta.
"When he was younger" his wife Betty recalls "his back did bother him some after especially long routes, but he was always able to recover before his next flights. And help me around the house!"
But since he retired the occasional pain turned into a daily grind. Pain would hit the moment he got up in the morning and he would have to warm up and stretch before going downstairs to get his coffee. He found himself not able to enjoy gardening as the bending and weeding was getting to be too much for his back.
"When he didn’t want to take the golf cart out on a beautiful spring day, due to the pain in his back, that's when I knew he needed to get help." Betty says.
Craig and Betty didn't know where to turn, so they brought up his chronic pain with his family doctor.
"I asked him if he thought I should see an orthopedist, and I'll never forget, he looked me square in the face and said, 'you need to go see Dr. Frank at Peachtree City Acupuncture'” Craig remembers.
Craig and Betty are like countless folks who did not know there are options when it comes to relief from chronic back pain.
Chronic low back pain can wear you down, like "a death by 1000 cuts." Low back pain can leave you feeling depressed, slow on your feet, and avoiding activities that you used to love. Even getting out of a chair can cause you to reach for the bottle of Aleve.
Our staff understands that chronic pain is often a family affair and encourages loved ones to accompany patients to their consultations, even treatments. The kind of pain our patients suffer from is rarely felt alone. It causes disappointment when they have to cancel plans with their family. It causes resentment when they don’t feel well enough to do the things their spouse wants to do. So when our patients have a support system on their healing journey, it greatly increases their chances of success, in getting back to living their life.
Such was the case with Craig and Betty. After completing his plan of care with Dr. Frank, Craig and Betty were over the moon with his results.
“He is like his old self again” Betty cheers “We are out walking every morning, golf carting to dinner with friends, and he has even started gardening again.”
