My association with the chiropractic profession goes back to 1956, when my mother was injured in an automobile accident. On advice of her close friend and medical doctor, she started going to Dr. Jordan D. Young in Florence, South Carolina. It took time, but she slowly returned to enjoying her life.
In the mid 1970's I injured my back and was admitted to then Baptist Hospital in Columbia, South Carolina, on my doctor's orders for surgery and traction. After a few days of suffering, I had my wife check me out of the hospital and drive to Florence to get Dr. Young to work on me. The surgery was never done.
Since that time, my age and excess weight have caused me to be in constant pain. Dr. Young had moved to Pickens, SC and later passed way. I tried everything with no constant success. I became very discouraged. I was beginning to believe that there was no possible practical and affordable answer.
A few weeks I started going to Dr. Matin and he has produced marvelous results. I am now able to walk hours without collapsing where before I was in such constant pain, a 200-foot walk was unbearable for me to handle. He was able to first correct my constant headaches, then started working on getting my spine back in correct order, and most recently adjusting the area that produced the excruciating pain in the hips-lower spine area. I am elated with the new life. I applaud Dr. Matin's dedication to making his patients enjoy life as it should be.
I apologize for being so wordy, but this was the only way I felt that I could convey what I went through and the way I feel now. I know this is only the beginning of a long and enjoyable second stage of my life at age 70!
