I met the Live Well team at a festival in Piedmont Park Spring 2000; I was curious to find out what chiropractic care was all about and agreed to get an evaluation. The first thing that was done to me while still at the park was to examine my posture. I was in disbelief how slanted my posture was - this just could not be true. I even went back to see Dr. Shoshana again later that day asking that she re-do the evaluation and she immediately told me what the earlier examination indicated with one glance.

I knew nothing about chiropractic medicine, although I knew that I had several long standing medical signals that I was tired of taking medicine for: stress, depression, and digestive complaints have been the norm for me for many years of my adult life. Problems sleeping and being tired all the time was common as well. While most physicians considered me 'healthy', I felt that this was not good enough. After speaking with Dr. Shoshana I decided that I would give this approach a dedicated effort to see if I could improve my health.

Within three months, I no longer needed antidepressants or stress medication. I no longer take allergy medication for hay fever or congestion -- I take no medications AT ALL now. My digestive problems have improved, but I realize that at 42 years old it will take time to heal my body. I am optimistic and patient, and know that I am in the right hands.

As an officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention I have been involved in the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center and the recent Anthrax events. Despite the large stresses these events have had on my body, my health has remained excellent. I am thankful that I met Drs. Shoshana and Kristie when I did to prepare me for the challenges I have had these past three months. Thank you Live Well Chiropractic for providing me the right path to wellness.
