 By
1996 I had made great strides in my life. A great life partner
and a new geographical location were among the improvements, but my
health was dragging behind and I didn't even realize it. My back went
out. It appeared sudden but it was a culmination of many years of
neglect. It was necessary I seek the help of a professional
immediately. I had not trusted the medical community through very harsh
experiences.
Fortunately,
I was able to obtain an appointment with Dr. Tim Rhoads the day I
called. I could hardly walk as I entered his office in
Springfield, MO. On the first visit Dr. Rhoads was able to give me some
necessary relief. He put me on a schedule of appointments and I
continued to improve. Because of my body's sensitive nature changes
came slow. I responded negatively to traditional
chiropractic. Dr. Rhoads listened to me and honored that I knew
my body. He changed the program he used on me. He used
supplements and continued to monitor my progress. He introduced
orthonics to me. I put myself in the able hands of the Clarks.
Again my health improved.
I
had little previous experience with a chiropractor. I did not
know what to expect. I thought he would treat my back and I would
return to a medical doctor for other medical problems. To my surprise
and delight, he was able to treat any and all ailments as they came
up. I was suffering from years of stress and exhaustion, and my
body was generally run down. I was amazed at how much information he
could glean from the numerous noninvasive tests he used.
In
1999, Dr. Rhoads marital and geographic life was changing.
Thrilled for the dynamic changes for him but uncertain about our
medical future, we made a decision. My husband and I would
continue to drive from Springfield to Rolla as often as
possible.
Dr.
Rhoads constantly explores the options available to expand his
knowledge. He introduced CRA and another line of supplements
earlier this year. The new supplements worked better for me and
my health again jumped forward. CRA allows him to tell me rather
than me tell him what is going on in my body.
I
know I stand taller, have more energy and feel better than I did in my
30's and 40's. Yes, there are plateaus. But by hanging in
there, I get the continued benefit of regular treatments. I
continue to thrive. I believe my progress will continue and I
will not judge my body by the years on the calendar but by the
increased vitality I have enjoyed by being one of his
patients.
