"I was on my way to an orthopedic surgeon when I got a call from my chiropractor, Dr. Cobb, about my elbow. Dr. Cobb remembered that I had injured my shoulder and that my elbow began to hurt and that I was at the end of my rope. I had tried everything from massage to chiropractic to acupuncture to heat and ice packs and finally put my arm in a sling after doing physical therapy. I figured I would have a shot of cortisone and then maybe surgery. Dr. Cobb suggested I check out this Graston technique that he was trained in and thought it might help me. I looked at a website he gave me and thought he must be kidding. This could not possibly be of any help for me. He was trying to tell me I had scar tissue in my elbow. Dr. Cobb said to just give it a try. I figured what could one treatment hurt at this point since I had tried everything else. I went in and he explained that it would feel grainy if there was scar tissue and that my arm would turn really red. I still did not believe that I had scar tissue but I said sure, go ahead, I'm ready. Boy, was I surprised. My arm lit up like a Christmas tree and it felt like gravel when he ran that tool over my arm. I could not believe it. Two months ago, I could barely move my arm and after my sixth treatment, I am not only lifting light weight and using my arm again, but I have no intention of going to that orthopedic surgeon. I have very little discomfort in my elbow and am really excited about getting started on breaking up the scar tissue we have discovered in my neck and shoulder. I feel like the bionic woman. Dr. Cobb is making me feel like my old self. At 49 years old, I am feeling better than I have felt in a very long time. Thanks Dr. Cobb." Donna S. Tampa
"I went to the medical dr. because my arms kept falling asleep at night and would ache, waking me up every 2-3 hrs and not allowing me to get a good night's sleep. I was diagnosed with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome. I was prescribed meds and a splint which interfered with my job as a sheet metal worker. I visited Dr. Cobb. He told me that the pain and numbness were from osteoarthritis in my neck and scar tissue in my arms from overuse. He recommended treatment using chiropractic for my neck and Graston for my worst arm. After 1 treatment, my right arm had no pain for 5 days. But my left arm continued to ache and wake me up at night. Dr. Cobb has made a believer out of me. " Craig G. Tampa "I injured my shoulder playing semi-pro volleyball. Just one overhead serve caused sharp pain shooting down my shoulder blade. As a result, I suffered from shoulder pain for years. Although chiropractic eased the pain tremendously, it wasn't until Dr. Cobb treated me using Graston Technique that my shoulder pain has completely resolved. It's amazing! I still get chiropractic care to help with my active lifestyle but Graston Technique has done wonders for my shoulder injury!." Kacee P. USF "I endured severe pain in my neck from an accident 25 years ago. The chiropractor that treated me was rough. Patients had to wait a long time to see the Dr. even with an appointment. They were treated like cattle on an assembly line. I hated going and eventually stopped going for treatment.I recently visited Dr. Cobb for an adjustment. I didn't have to wait, he explained everything he was going to do in layman's terms. There were no surprises. My chronic neck pain has subsided in just three visits. I can swing a golf club more freely and my range of motion has increased considerably. Visiting Dr. Cobbs' office is like going to a spa. Now I look forward to my bimonthly visits to the chiropractor." Ken W., former P.E. coach, Tampa
"After learning that I have a herniated disc, Dr. Cobb treated me immediately and worked out a long term plan with me. Within 2 treatments, to my amazement, my pain had ceased without the use of medication! He is a very dedicated and caring doctor and would recommend him to anyone!" Raquel R., dancer, Valrico "Thank you Dr. Cobb for relieving me of the neck and shoulder pain I've been experiencing for years. I am truly amazed that I can play sports just as well before I hurt myself. Once a skeptic, you've now turned me into a believer of chiropractic. Thank you." Isabel, student, Tampa "Dr. Greg has done wonders for my hurt back. As a farrier, trimming horses' hooves, I'm constantly bending my back. I didn't know that chiropractic can relieve me from the daily pain. Amazing!" Steve, Eustis FL |

PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE'S TESTIMONIALS ON CHIROPRACTIC
Dan O'Brien-US Olympic Team Medalist-Decathalon In the August 1996 issue of USA Today, "you obviously can't compete at your fullest if you're not in alignment. It was the holistic idea that I liked about Chiropractic. I really think Chiropractic is essential in running. If I could put a percentage on it, I think I compete eight to ten percent better from regular Chiropractic use, if not more. It is essential for me and my training routine," declared O'Brien. On a separate occasion he also stated, "You obviously can't compete at your fullest if you're not in alignment. And your body can't heal if your back is not in alignment. It was the holistic idea that I liked about chiropractic and that is what track and field is about. Every track and field athlete that I have ever met has seen a chiropractor at one time or another. In track and field, it is absolutely essential. Chiropractic care is one of the things I think that no one has denied or refuted." Dan even went as far as to say, "If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal."
Lance Armstrong-7 time Tour de France winner One of the methods he uses to keep in peak performance is chiropractic care. According to Dr. Spencer, "My job with Lance and the team is to optimize the neuromusculoskeletal component of their training and, in the event of a crash minimize down time and get them back in the race as quickly as possible. I adjust them as needed and guide them in choices of diet and supplements, which helps reduce the likelihood of injury." Tiger Woods-Professional Golfer Tiger Woods states, "lifting weights and seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis has made me a better golfer. I've been going to Chiropractors for as long as I can remember. It's as important to my training in practicing my swing." "Being a chiropractic patient has really helped me a lot," Tiger asserted . "When I was in a growth spurt, my back became very sore and I was weak. My chiropractor really helped me. Not only did he adjust my spine, he also gave me strengthening exercises to do. If you are gangly, like I am, or play sports, I would recommend chiropractic." Joe Montana-NFL QuarterbackAgreed to become the spoke person for Chiropractic in the State of California. "Chiropractic care works for me." states Joe, "I've been seeing a chiropractor and he's really been helping me out a lot. Chiropractic's been a big part of my game."
Evander Holyfield-Profesional Boxer"I do believe in Chiropractic. I found that going to a Chiropractor three times a week helps my performance. Once I drove 20 miles to see a Chiropractor before a fight. I have to have my adjustment before I get in the ring. The majority of boxers go to get that edge."
Emmitt Smith-Pro Football Player"I go see the chiropractor when I get bent out of shape on Sundays. Playing in a football game is like being in 30-40 car accidents." When Emmitt was asked if he ever gets used to the pain and abuse his body takes each season and how he gets past that each year, he replied, "I think I take enough. I spend enough time trying to take care of my body and trying to remove some of the stress that the game itself puts on the body. I do that through massages, through chiropractic -- a particular chiropractor that I see in Dallas and I try to eat properly and rest." |
