Testimonials - Asthma

August 10, 2005

Dear Dr. Kowalik and Mahtty,

I am writing this letter only two months into my program because I want to tell you guys about the improvement I am already feeling. I was actually amazed since the first adjustment and am excited to see our overall success. I say "our" because I know for a fact that I would not be feeling this much better without the adjustments, exercises, and overall optimism and enthusiasm I receive every day I am there. Three days a week I come to your office, my day usually starts off with Mahtty's welcoming smile and warm personality. It's always a pleasure to receive that because 9:30 is early! Following is my adjustment that I always look forward to and the exercises that I could actually live without, but know is also just as essential. Dr. Kowalik, no matter how run-down I may feel, your adjustments always make me feel more energetic.

I have scoliosis and subluxation, which push pressure to my nerves and are the cause for my neck and back pains. What I didn't know is that they are also the cause of my asthma. I was diagnosed with exercise and stress induced asthma in the Air Force last year, a few months after completing boot camp. It was after boot camp that I started feeling severe neck and back pains.

Before I left for boot camp, I knew that the military instructors' purpose was to break you down and bring you back up again. I was so determined that they would never be able to break me down mentally that my inane stubbornness made me ignore what my body was telling me. I pushed and pushed until my body gave up on me. During the training, we had to sleep on old spring mattresses, do the sit-ups on the ground, and endure all the ground punishments, such as rolling over back and forth from my back to my stomach while doing leg raises until they tell you to stop. In addition, carrying over 50 pounds on my back and marching everyday with heavy boots. It wasn't a surprise that I had an asthma attack, which was the worst feeling. Looking back, I don't know what I was thinking. I guess it was always "mind over body" for me but that wasn't the smartest way to think because I have learned from you the "fire alarm" analogy.

I will never forget the day I met you guys at the mall two months ago. I rarely go to the mall and I believe that day, my prayer was answered to no longer feel the severe pain I was feeling on my neck, shoulders, and back. Your guys' generous offer to do a full exam, including x-rays, for only $20.00 was hard to refuse. If it were in the hundreds, like other chiropractors I have seen in the mall, I probably would've walked away and think it was just another business scheme. However, after talking with you guys, I felt your sincerity about the importance of helping people. That's what makes you guys different from other practices. People tell me about their chiropractic experiences and about how it was a waste of money for them. I actually felt bad for them that they weren't fortunate enough to meet someone genuine as you guys. The world doesn't revolve around me; there are a lot of people you guys help everyday with the same or even worst conditions. I cannot thank you guys enough!
