Testimonials

In September of 2002, I was diagnosed with a ruptured disc and two herniated discs in my neck. After having surgery to repair the ruptured disc, I was still having severe pain and difficulty moving. More surgery was recommended, but I chose not to have the surgery, and to get a second opinion.

A fiend recommended Dr Ken Horup at Specific Chiropractic. Having had no success with chiropractors in the past, I had little confidence and a lot of fear. I began treatment at Dr Ken's. His method of treatment proved me wrong! His non-evasive adjustments not only have helped my range of motion, but have also eliminated my pain.

Thank you Dr. Ken for all you have done for me.

A Dancer's Thoughts

I am Kelly, I am thirteen, and I love to DANCE. In August of 1999 I found out I had scoliosis. This is a condition also known as curvature of the spine. After seeing an orthopedic surgeon, I was fitted for a back brace. I wore the brace for a year and a half. It was very confining and I felt very uncomfortable. I was unable to dance as before. Stretching was very restricted and sometimes impossible when I had the brace on. I had to wear it twenty-three hours a day, even when I danced.

At one of my appointments I was told of the probability of facing back surgery. I didn't like that idea. The brace hindered my ability to dance and surgery would have prevented me from doing what I love most. My brother had been going to a Chiropractor for a car accident he was in. He wanted me to talk to Dr. Ken Horup.

After meeting Ms. Shelly with her great smile, I was introduced to Dr. Ken and Dr. Amy. Within just a short time we began to see improvement. I was adjusted twice a week and had exercises to do at home. When another medical problem occurred from the brace, my parents and I decided it was time to stop wearing it altogether.

Dr. Ken helped me so I could keep dancing. Although the exercises take a long time to do, it's better than wearing a brace and much better than having an operation. The exercises have helped my back get stronger and straighter. I can now stretch and bend much better. To dance well, I must be flexible. I am doing better every day.

At The Savannah Dance Center's Spring Concert I received a reward for my efforts and for Dr. Ken's and Dr. Amy's. I was presented with a beautiful medal never given before. The award was for The Most Spirited and The Most Improved Dancer. Thanks Dr. Ken, Dr. Amy, Shelly, and all the staff at Discover Specific Chiropractics. - Kelly W.

When I first came in to see Dr. Ken, I had bad leg aches at night and lower
Almost every night I had to prop my legs up on pillows to stop the aching so I could go to sleep. Also I had just joined the swim team and my neck was hurting and I wasn't swimming as fast.

Then after a few adjustments my legs stopped hurting. I started to swim faster and without pain. A couple of months later, I qualified to swim at the December State Swim Meet in more than ten events. At that point I had only been swimming for six months. I won two First Place State Champion medals in the 9 and 10-year-old 200 Freestyle Relay and 200 Medley Relay. In March, I qualified to go to the Regional Championships where I swam the 50 Freestyle and the 50 Butterfly.

Now, I don't have leg aches at night and my back barely ever hurts. I am improving my times in swimming and am looking forward to the December State Meet. I'm glad I came to see Dr. Ken!

Sincerely,
