Dr. Mattingly brings hope and relief

I began treatment with Dr. Mattingly because of extreme pain in my shoulder area. I first sought help from my family doctor, but to no avail. Because of the pain, it was very difficult for me to perform my usual activities.

Dr. Mattingly examined me and did x-rays. He found that I had a pinched nerve and a twisted vertebra from an old injury. He began giving me ultra-sound and heat treatments, as well as adjustments. It took several treatments before I noticed that the pain had diminished and that I could begin doing things I did before. Of course, I would like to have had a quick fix, but I realize it can take a while to get improvement in the spinal structure, especially when it has been incorrectly aligned for years.

The alternative to chiropractic care is lots of pain, lots of pain-killers, possible surgery and loss of normal activities. I was able to avoid all of these because of the treatment given to me by Dr. Mattingly. He is a very capable chiropractor as well as a kind and gentle man who gives relief and hope where often there may seem to be very little.
