How Chiropractic Care Transformed Patrice’s Life | Chiropractor in Manahawkin, NJ
Hey everybody, its Dr. Nicole Bonner with Healing Hands of Manahawkin. And I have a very special lady with me today. This is Patrice.
Dr. Bonner: Hi, Patrice.
Patrice: Hi, Dr. Nicole. Wonderful to be here.
Dr. Bonner: I’m so thankful and grateful that you’re here because you have an amazing story to share. And one of the reasons why we share stories in our office is because, you know, chiropractic care is so much more than just treating neck and back pain. And I love Dr. Laura has a great analogy for this. She says, if people go to a chiropractor just for the treatment of like neck and back pain, it’s like going to Starbucks and just ordering a water. Right, you’re like you’re not getting as much out of it as you could. And so, I like to share these amazing experiences. We don’t get to do this as often as I would like to do it because we have a really busy practice. But I want you to you guys to hear the amazing experience that Patrice has had. So Patrice, tell the people that watch us or follow us a little bit about what your life and your health was like prior to chiropractic care.
Patrice: It wasn’t good Dr. Nicole. I couldn’t stand to fold my laundry. I was taking a nap in the afternoon because I was just so fatigued. And I wasn’t getting anything done at home.
Dr. Bonner: You weren’t getting your daily, like your daily tasks.
Patrice: No.
Dr. Bonner: Yeah. And I and I think too, you weren’t feeling like Patrice.
Patrice: No, I was not. who you are. Right. You were like a mover and shaker. You got a lot. It used to get a lot of stuff done. Yes. And then you just weren’t getting it done. You weren’t getting done.
Patrice: I couldn’t even do ordinary stuff. Never mind, anything beyond that.
Dr. Bonner: Got it.
Dr. Bonner: Yeah. So then how did you find us? How did you hear about us?
Patrice: Well, what a story that is.
Dr. Bonner: Really? I don’t even know. How did you hear about us?
Patrice: I actually attended some of your dinner meetings more than 30 years ago, when I was working in wall Township, so it wasn’t practical, right. So when I thought I wanted a chiropractor again, I said, I’m going to track her down.
Dr. Bonner: That’s right. I totally forgot about that story. But now you refresh my memory. Yep. And so, tell our audience a little bit about what it’s like to receive chiropractic care, because there’s probably I know, for a fact, there are a lot of people, some people that are probably watching this right now, who has heard all kinds of crazy stories about chiropractic and, and and it being dangerous, or they’re afraid or they don’t like their neck to be adjusted, or whatever it is, can you share a little bit about your experience and what it’s like to receive chiropractic?
Patrice: Oh, my gosh, this was the best thing I could have done for myself. Because as you probably remember, I couldn’t get up off the tables by myself, I needed help. And it wasn’t too long after I started treatment that I was able to get up by myself. So I was pretty excited about that. And it’s just been amazing. Coming here, I just feel so much better. I have so much more energy. I’m not taking the afternoon naps anymore. A lot more. A lot more done at home. Awesome. And so always glad to be coming in on Mondays because I sometimes overdo it a little bit. So I come in Monday and you get me back in shape and get my power back on. I’m good to go.
Dr. Bonner: That’s awesome. And Patrice, if you did not find chiropractic and hunt me down. What do you think your life would be like? What would you do? What would your life be like if you didn’t get your condition corrected?
Patrice: Yeah. I can’t even think about that. It’s just so upsetting to think that I would be suffering. Like I told you my Vertigo is gone.
Dr. Bonner: Oh, I forgot about that.
Patrice: I no longer suffer with the vertigo. White Noise is gone. I’m feeling better. Getting so much more done a couple of days ago, I took the old caulking out of the tub.
Dr. Bonner: You did?
Patrice: I did. And I was able to re-caulk it. Oh my. So that’s something I never would have done if I hadn’t started treatment here. Right.
Dr. Bonner: And you live alone?
Patrice: Yes.
Dr. Bonner: And you have to make sure your independence.
Patrice: Yes.
Dr. Bonner: Like that was a top priority. I remember two of your top priorities when you first started care was, of course independence because you live alone. So you have to get this stuff done. You don’t really have a choice. And number two was it was was improvement in relationships too. Right? Like having the energy to like do do socialize?
Patrice: Yes, yeah. And that’s come a long way. And that’s come a long way too. Yeah.
Dr. Bonner: All right. Well, Patrice, thank you so much for sharing your story with us and taking time out of what’s now your busy schedule. Where did you say you’re headed Lowe’s?
Patrice: Headed to Lowe’s. And then next week on pet setting for friends.
Dr. Bonner: Got it. Yeah, and that’s something you You would have never done by never
would have done that. Gotcha.
Patrice: So don’t be afraid of chiropractic. Come in and see Dr. Nicole. They’re great here.
Dr. Bonner: Oh, thanks Patrice. Yeah, well, I didn’t even pay her to say that.
