A Patient Testimonial from a Gentleman Who Believed Chiropractors and Spinal Specialists to be "Quacks"

"After many years seeing all the specialists known to mankind, my son finally convinced me to see Dr. Farthing at the Ideal Spine Centre. The orthopedic attitude was basically, "We should wait until it becomes intolerable and then do surgery."

So that is where I left it, suffering day-in and day-out with lower back pain, and progressively worse hip and shoulder pain. After a few weeks with Dr. Farthing, I began to notice marked improvement with my neck, back and most notably my hips and shoulders. I was once told that I had rheumatism and that I would need to take steroids for the rest of my life. So, I was amazed when just after a few weeks, I could already move more easily.

My shoulder over the years progressed to almost no mobility at all. I was also diagnosed with ‘frozen shoulder’. I would experience severe pain if I did move the wrong way. It probably took the longest to improve but after about two months I had regained 90% mobility and also 90% less pain.
"I continue to see Dr. Farthing at the Ideal Spine Centre and have complete trust in his care and judgment even with an 21-year-old back injury. That is a fairly weighty statement from someone who believed chiropractors and spinal specialists to be "Quacks"."
