I had experienced neck pain at different times in my life. It would suddenly appear (due to, I assumed, “sleeping funny”), and would go away on its own after a week or so. The last time I had the pain, it was so bad that I couldn’t move my head or neck. My mother urged me to see Dr. Charschan. I was quite hesitant at first, thinking that once I began going to a chiropractor, I would need to continue going for the rest of my life. Well, needless to say, my first visit with Dr. Charschan proved me wrong. Dr. Charschan met me at his office at approximately 10:30 on a Friday night. I thought that was incredibly kind of him, as well as incredibly surprising. I don’t know of any doctor that would do such a thing. Anyway, he took some x-rays and adjusted me, and then told me exactly what was wrong with me, exactly what he would do to remedy it, and exactly how long it would take. I was stunned! I always assumed chiropractic care meant repeated visits spanning the rest of the patient’s life, but it doesn’t. Realizing that has been quite an advantage for me, because now I don’t have the pain in my neck anymore, I can move my head more than when I first began, and I don’t have to worry about in much more dire circumstances later on in life. That, along with all of the education Dr. Charschan passes on to his patients, has made my life free from pain.
