I’d been limping every day for three months prior to my appointment with Dr. Jennifer Simons, and my back hurt, too. My right knee is compromised due to previous injuries, severely arthritic, and needs to be replaced, but I postponed having knee surgery due to an unexpected opportunity to relocate to Oregon.
The 26-hour drive to Oregon from New Mexico further exacerbated my back and knee pain and I could no longer walk normally. My newfound reality was one of constant knee pain, unabated by daily pain killers, and severe limitation in performing basic activities. Buying groceries, doing laundry, cooking, or any activity requiring standing or walking had become difficult and painful. Activities I once enjoyed, like hiking, were out of the question.
After my first appointment with Dr. Simons, my limp was gone! Yes, gone. Using the activator method, Dr. Simons adjusted my knee along with my spine and shoulders, and I’ve been able to walk normally ever since. I still have intermittent knee pain, but it’s now bearable, and I no longer need to take daily pain killers.
After two months of chiropractic care with Dr. Simons, I continue to walk normally, can easily perform basic activities like laundry and shopping and, once again, enjoy activities like long walks, bike riding, and even gentle hiking. Plus, my back feels great. I still plan on having my right knee replaced, but now I’m better prepared for a successful outcome because I can move again with ease, and actually do the exercises that strengthen the muscles supporting my knee. At a recent appointment I exclaimed, “Dr. Simons, you’re a miracle worker!” and I meant it.
The staff at Walker Road Chiropractic is courteous, professional and dedicated to wellness. In addition to performing spinal adjustments, Dr. Simons is among just a handful of doctors in the United States trained and certified to use the activator method on extremities, such as knees, hands, feet, and ankles.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend the services of Dr. Jennifer Simons at Walker Road Chiropractic. The care she provides is exceptional, and I feel like I have my life back. Thank you, Dr. Simons!!!
