Most of you know that chiropract­ic is good for back pain, neck pain and sciatica. But did you know that it also can help more serious conditions? You are about to read an account of a real person who lives right here in your town…..

Cindy was suffering from a chronic knee problem. It was affecting her work and family life by limiting her ability to drive, walk and show properties in real estate. She had been addressing long term pain with physical therapy and visits to the specialist­s here locally. The doctors and rehab only provided temporary relief from the discomfort and after a short time, the pain returned. Also, it was gradually worsening, and the therapy sessions triggered additional problems. The doctors ceased the rehab visits to avoid injury. At a young age, she was facing the possibilit­y of surgery since nothing seemed to help. After meeting with doctors in town and being evaluated, it was concluded that she needed more that just a routine knee surgery, she needed a total replacemen­t.The doctors concluded that there was no further options and no future for Cindy outside of a total knee replacemen­t. So, she scheduled the surgery for November in 2018.

But three months before the date, she was talking with a colleague and mentioned the upcoming surgery. The friend listened and told Cindy that she had undergone a Natural Knee Care Program with Dr. Delaino. The results provided a permanent solution. This friend suggested calling yet another friend whose husband had faced the prospect of a similar surgery.

So, Cindy called the third lady and found out that Dr. Delaino had helped her husband to avoid knee surgery by undergoing the Natural Knee Care Plan and now five years later, the problem had never returned.

As a result, Cindy found herself with a possible option. Since two close friends had a similar experience it gave her a significan­t reason to set up a visit with Dr. Delaino. So, she made the call and underwent an evaluation. It was concluded that she still had a sufficient amount of cartilage in her knee and the basic functions were all intact. As a result, a test treatment was done, and the results were instantane­ous. Right there in the office, she stood up and walked with more strength and mobility in her knee.

Over the following three weeks, she had diminished knee pain and was experienci­ng natural movement in her knee joint. After two months, she was pain free and working without any hindrance at all. She could drive for long periods, engage with her grandkids and work as much as needed without any problem at all! She began to realize that she had a real future with her knee and that perhaps surgery was not required. The knee replacemen­t was cancelled, and she has continued to maintain her progress every week. For overcoming such a daunting ordeal, Cindy Fricks is our patient of the year! For her ability to continue to work in spite of chronic knee pain and her optimistic outlook when suffering, she stands out. Thanks Cindy-you are a winner! Cindy Fricks- Rome, Ga.
