One day in November 2000, I suddenly realized that I could not put my right arm
behind my back. I did not experience any discomfort, nor did I have an injury, so I went to my doctor who prescribed muscle relaxants. This did not help and his diagnosis was a "frozen" shoulder whereby he made arrangements for me to see a physiotherapist. After four months of regular visits to the physiotherapist (3-one hour session per week) and another eight months of exercises at home (approx. three hours daily) my shoulder seemed to be close to normal.
The physiotherapist stated that the range in my shoulder would only come back
75-80% of normal, and seeing that I had reached this level I could now discontinue my exercises. Within three months my shoulder started to freeze up again, and in fact, became worse than when first diagnosed. I had great difficulty sleeping, as I could not put any lengthy pressure on my shoulder, nor could I sleep on my left side, as gravity pulling on my arm also caused severe discomfort. I resigned to the "fact" that I would spend the rest of my life in this state.
My wife, who had been seeing a chiropractor for several years, encouraged me
to see him, I replied, "chiropractors work on backs so how could he help me?",
Well, I tell you! After my first visit the improvement in my shoulder was
overwhelming. The pain and discomfort was almost gone and I could sleep
comfortably again. Now after only four months, the mobility in my shoulder is back to the 75-80% range and still improving. Exercises at home now take only
approximately three minutes daily (as compared to 3 hours daily) and the sessions at the chiropractic office are about five to ten minutes every 2 weeks (instead of 1 hour 3x's per week at the physiotherapist!). What a difference! What a relief!
The quality of care and service that I have received at Meadowood Chiropractic
has been excellent and the proof is in the results I have attained. Although there is still some work to be done on my shoulder, things can't get anything but better.
Thank God for chiropractors!

I have to recommend Meadowood Family Chiropractic Centre. After 25 years of uncertainty and pain and doctors without answers or useful advise. I have finally begun treatment for my back troubles. I was originally being treated by a Chiropractor 25 years ago and was scared off by reactions from doctors and back surgeons who subsequently did nothing but prescribe expensive muscle relaxants and give me blank stares making me think it was all in my head. In the last year my condition was worsening and I was producing multiple effects that were really beginning to worry my family and I. Three months ago, I was in extreme pain and could not walk or practically move without suffering. I did not go back to my family doctor. Rather, with the advice of friends I went to see Dr. Derrick Frederick of Meadowood Family Chiropractic Centre. Finally after 25 years I found out what my condition was and was finally being treated for it! Within a week, 90% of my pain was gone and since then, most if not all of the additional troubles have disappeared . My blood pressure is back to normal. I feel great. I believe more people need to consider chiropractic care as it seems the regular medical doctors are becoming ineffective. Get a second opinion from Dr. Derrick Frederick.
