Ten days out from a big race I sat for a 2 hour work zoom- got up to go make my bed, bent the wrong way and threw my back out so badly I couldn’t get off the floor until my son got home. It was late and I googled any chiropractor who might still be open. Christina answered, asked if I could come down in 15 min and made the insurance process so easy. I couldn’t stand up at all - my son had to help me into the office. I walked in completely hunched to the ground. Dr. Spencer saw me that night and even in that condition told me his goal for me was to run my race. I thought he might be crazy. He got me into the office 7 of the next 9 days and worked pure magic. He used a laser treatment some of those days ( I’d never done or heard of it before but was backed by pretty great research)! But I still didn’t think there was a chance I’d run 4 dsys out from the race. Dr. Spencer never lost hope and I think he was somewhat transforming my mental health as he treated my physical body. I couldn’t even walk one week out from the race. He gave me a home regimen, I did everything and 2 days before the race we decided I would go for it. My 50th birthday weekend was centered around this race and not only was it a success but it was the 3rd fastest half marathon time I’ve had of the 8 I’ve run. I was pain free throughout the run and almost a week out now, I am recovering seamlessly. I owe so much to Dr. Spencer and Back to Balance- they have a new regular customer! I highly recommended Spencer - for runners and for sure, any back issues!
