In
December 2005, I was in a serious auto accident while driving to
Chattanooga from Atlanta. At a speed of @ 75 mph, my Land Rover
hit a patch of oil on a rainy evening and I lost control of the
vehicle. The truck flipped six times, hit a tree and landed
upside down in the median.
Miraculously, I walked away from this horrific accident with
only bruises from the seat belt—or so I thought. The Ambulance
EMT and doctors at Kennestone WellStar Hospital both told me I
was fine, and I went home a thankful person.
After the bruises healed, I did notice back and neck pain, but
as I sit at a desk all the time, I thought this was the cause.
Over the next year, the pain became increasingly worse. It
seemed nothing I did helped. I spoke with my regular care
physician and was told to get more exercise. While this was
certainly a good idea, it did not help the pain. In January
2007, I started looking for a chiropractor. I visited several,
who shall remain nameless, until in March of 2007 I finally
found Dr. McIntyre.
Six
months later, it is a different world. No more pain. Dr.
McIntyre found that my ribs were dislocated from the
breastbone—no doubt caused by the seatbelt impact at 75 mph. 15
months of no treatment meant other problems had occurred as a
result of this injury, and it has taken a while to track it all
down.
Nevertheless, Dr. McIntyre has done it. He diagnosed the
problem almost immediately, and has been systematically and
effectively treating it ever since. He must undo the months of
maladjustment caused by the accident, and this takes time. Had
I come to him within a few weeks of the accident, I’m sure I
would have been saved months of constant pain.
I
have to be consistent about my treatment, and make certain I
come in for chiropractic care whenever I notice any pain.
Already I can tell this will be permanently healed in a few more
months. And thanks to Dr. McIntyre, I am well on the road to
years of pain free life.
Over the past 35 years, I have had occasion to visit a number of
chiropractors from time to time. I have had the privilege of
being treated by some extraordinary doctors of chiropractic,
John Thie, Walter Schmidt and Kent Goode among them. I have
never known a better practitioner of chiropractic than Sean
McIntyre.
