KINGSTON: Good morning everybody, this is Travis Howze. Travis, please tell us what
conditions you came in to see us for, here at Chiropractic Solutions.
TRAVIS: I came in here August, 2011. Quite frankly, I couldn't even touch my toes. My
back was so bad in the lower region, so I came in. I was actually a little scared of
chiropractic care, to be honest with you. I came in and sat down with Dr. Kingston,
and told him what problems I was having and what fears I had.
KINGSTON: Cool! And how have you progressed, since August of last year?
TRAVIS: Quite drastically, actually. My low back is great, I can get up in the morning
and touch my toes. I've gotten into a pretty good workout regime at Fitness Plus, as a
referral from Chiropractic Solutions. So it's helped overall fitness, too. We're 90% of
the way there, and we've been working together for 6 or 7 months. We're going to keep on
working twice a week until we get to the point of where I want to be.
KINGSTON: That's awesome. You mentioned the pain is obviously a lot better - tell us a
bit about some of the blood work issues you've had, and what the results are with that?
TRAVIS: I have a hereditary condition called Hematomacrosis, so naturally, my body does
not get rid of iron. So what I have to do is, go through phlebotomies every three or
four weeks. When we started this, I actually switched insurance, so I didn't do my phlebotomies
for a while. I wanted to see how a natural care would partake, compared to doing phlebotomies.
Just a month ago I went in and got my ferritin test, which tests your iron levels in your
body. My ferritin levels actually held stable all the way back to July. So by working with
Chiropractic care, a better diet and etc cetera, I was able to hold my iron levels without
even doing phlebotomies. KINGSTON: Good! Does that excite you?
TRAVIS: Absolutely, because I hate needles! KINGSTON: Yeah, don't we all! What do you
like most about our office, Travis? TRAVIS: The staff is great, it's clean, and
the staff is very educational. Like I said, I was scared coming into Chiropractic care.
I didn't know anything about it, but the education level from that standpoint made me a believer,
and obviously the results have too. KINGSTON: Thank you, Travis. You are our March
patient of the month. Thank you! TRAVIS: I love it! Thank you.
