I was involved in a car collision in January 2004, which resulted in several minor injuries, including slamming my shoulder against the door of my car. A physical exam and x-rays performed at the emergency room revealed multiple contusions and a concussion, but no broken or dislocated bones. As time passed my shoulder became more painful, even as the other injuries healed. After four months the shoulder pain had spread to my chest wall and the entire arm, which I could no longer fully raise or rotate; all this despite daily icing and heat, pain medications and physical therapy.

In April I used the opportunity of a business meeting with Dr. Becky Laird to tell her about my shoulder. At my appointment she took a complete history and exam and found my left clavicle, as well as my left elbow, sacrum and ankles to be out of alignment. I felt some immediate relief after her adjustments.

Two days later I was not only pain-free but also shaved ten minutes off my usual power walk.

Thank you Dr. Becky!
