We’re honored to care for many patients with incredible stories – but Tanner’s health journey is truly extraordinary.
From a young age, Tanner began suffering from frequent and violent seizures. At their worst, he was having multiple seizures a day. These episodes were not only frequent – they were severe. Each seizure would leave him bedridden and barely responsive for the rest of the day. One seizure caused him to fall and break his elbow. Later, another was so intense it bent the surgical screw in that same elbow. Tanner is holding that very screw in the photo- a powerful reminder of what he’s overcome.
Looking for answers, Tanner and his mother began chiropractic care at our office in 2007, right in the midst of his health crisis. Scientific research shows that chiropractic adjustments can have a calming effect on the nervous system. With that hope, we began regular adjustments.
Within a few months, we started to see changes. His seizures became less frequent, and remarkably, his hand tremors would often stop right after an adjustment. Week by week, his body began responding. Since that time, Tanner has received over 750 adjustments – coming in consistently every single week for more than 15 years. He and his mother have made it a priority, because the difference in his quality of life has been profound.
While everyone’s journey is different, Tanner’s story is a powerful reminder of the body’s incredible potential to heal when supported properly. Even if you don’t experience changes as dramatic as Tanner’s, every adjustment you receive helps your body function better, heal better, and ultimately feel better – whether you feel it right away or not.
Yours in Health,
Dr. Rob
