As kids, we run and jump and climb. We also stumble, trip, and fall. In Scott’s case, it was a rather serious fall: from a tree onto a gravestone! Luckily, at the nimble age of 12, he was able to shrug it off. Sure, it hurt, but not bad enough to keep him down.
Unfortunately, as time went on, this injury started to catch up with Scott.
“With time, arthritis set in,” explains Scott. “I can’t play golf, and it was getting quite painful when I helped my kids work on their house. I had even gotten to the point of being in so much pain that I had to take prednisone just to be able to sleep.”
Refusing to Live Life on the Sidelines
Being the self-proclaimed handy man that he is, Scott didn’t want to have to sit out on doing what he loved or take medication just to get good rest. He started searching for relief.
“I had gone to a dozen chiropractors. There was a chiropractor that was certain he’d be able to help me – but a good chunk of time and lots of money later, that chiropractor decided I should get an MRI because his work wasn’t helping. So, I did that too. I went to a spine specialist, got a cortisone shot, and tried physical therapy (which had been recommended to me by the spine specialist),” notes Scott. But he kept striking out. “Nothing was really helping.”
However, things were about to take a serendipitous turn. The spine specialist had also recommended seeing an acupuncturist… who, after eight unsuccessful treatments, ended up referring Scott to Valeo to see Michelle.
“Now, it’s hard to explain what Michelle does,” says Scott, pausing to consider how to put words to her work. “The best I can describe is that she’s intuitive. You tell her what ails you, and she starts working. Michelle loosened my back. It took around a month or a month and a half and it was an investment financially… but in the grand scheme of things, it was money well spent! I was finally feeling good. She helped me immensely.”
A Team Effort
Although Scott found incredible improvement in his pain while seeing Michelle, there was still a spot in his lower back that just wouldn’t go away. Michelle, being the intuitive person that she is, recommended Scott to Dr. Rob.
“I didn’t know what Dr. Rob did,” shares Scott. “I’m a born cynic but when you’re in pain you’ll try everything. He did his ‘bioresonance testing’ and found mercury and arsenic in me. After two days of the mercury drops he made for me, it was almost gone! The fact that the pain started going away that quick… I was in euphoric disbelief. The pain had been so bad it was all I could think about, and there had been so many failed attempts at easing it…” emphasizes Scott, reiterating his amazement at how quickly the drops made such a significant difference.
“Dr. Rob has been marvelous. He also checked my vitamin and mineral status, and found I was low on Vitamin B, and was able to recommend what to take for that,” Scott says.
Taking Home the “W” (Wellness!)
Speaking with Scott, he was still amazed at the difference that the practitioners at Valeo have made in his life.
“Before, I was in so much pain that it prevented me from having a basic quality of life. I had gone to a dozen different chiropractors and other professionals, and nothing has come close to what I’ve experienced at Valeo,” declares Scott. “Valeo gave me my life back!”
“People may look at the price and wonder if they should do it… but I can tell you it’s the best thing that ever happened to me. How do you put a price on feeling good? Michelle and Rob are so good… they deserve what they charge! I’m truly amazed at the results I’ve experienced.”
