"Yes, I was one of those who doubted the benefits of a chiropractor. I put them in the same category with massage therapists. That was until I developed Bells Palsy. My primary medical doctor just hoped it would go away. When it didn’t, he referred me for speech therapy exercises. When that didn’t work, we tried electrical stimulation with a physical therapist. Then a friend told me about a Chinese woman who did acupressure. She helped my face some, but told me what I really needed was acupuncture. Then I tried Dr. Thompson. Since I’ve been going to him, I’ve almost got my smile and my eye back. Through a series of acupuncture sessions, combined with chiropractic adjustments, my face is slowly returning to normal. It’s been a year, and oh how I wish I had known what Dr. Thompson could do and just started with him from the start."

I am nine years old, and I have a condition known as pectus excavatum, also known as funnel chest. This is a deep depression of my sternum and my ribs flare out to make it even more noticeable. This causes stress on my lungs and heart.
My brother, Jon, who is sixteen, had this condition and is now recovering from pectus repair surgery. In 8th grade he began to feel a strain on his stamina and endurance when he competed in basketball. The surgery will allow him to function normally but it is a very painful and costly surgery. He still has to do 300 crunches a day to get his muscles to pull his ribs back in.
I’m thankful Jon could have the surgery, but I’m praying God will heal me with the help of Dr. Thompson. I have had twelve adjustments, and now I’m going once a week. My back was so tight and my shoulders were already rounding. Dr. Thompson is working on me to get every part of me in line so I can grow straight and prevent the depression from getting deeper. He also gave me exercises to do twice a day. I can even do 100 crunches at one time!
Already my mom can see a difference in my posture. Dr. Thompson says the body can heal itself. That’s what I’m praying for because I don’t want to have surgery. I’m thankful for Dr. Thompson!!

Last Sepember I developed intense knee pain and within a week couldn't walk. I have been a patient of Dr. Thompson's for 30 years and so I knew he could help me. Dr. Thompson started acupuncture treatment on my knees. I started coming to Dr. Thompson three times per week at first, then twice, and now I go once a week for acupuncture in addition to my monthly maintenance adjustments and therapies.
I noticed an improvement in my knees after the first treatment of acupuncture. Within two weeks I noticed an even more drastic difference. I have had no more pain during the day and can walk fine. I highly recommend Dr. Thompson and acupuncture treatment. I will continue chiropractic care as long as I live.
