It was a warm August day at the beach that found my husband and I jumping waves in the ocean. Well, a huge wave hit me, and I was swept under and thrust to the ocean floor, shoulder first. Knowing I don’t swim well, my husband valiantly clung to my arm as I went under. Since the wave twisted me as I went, you can guess the rest…. the ocean won. Since denial comes naturally to me, it was about a month before I could be talked into a visit to the doctor. By then my range of motion was not so great, to say the least. Dr. Glass was great. He explained what he believed to be the extent of my injuries (a “good strain”), but wanted to confirm the diagnosis. So, x-rays were taken and nothing was broken, including my spirit of denial, and subsequently I managed to dodge another trip to the doctor for about three weeks. When it finally hurt too much to move my arm, and it was getting worse instead of “healing itself”, I returned to Dr. Glass. Again, with the patience of a saint he reviewed my x-ray results, checked my range of motion and carefully gave me the news that if I did not begin to address this injury, my range of motion could be impacted for the rest of my life. This was not good news, especially considering I could not put my arm behind my back or take my shirt off without assistance. Dr. Glass recommended an MRI to confirm a final diagnosis and assess the damage. The results came in proving Dr. Glass right on target; I had a really good strain, with tendonitis and bursitis as special added delights! Dr. Glass cut straight to the point, detailed what I needed to do to rehabilitate and return my range of motion, doing so in such a way that I did not feel I was being threatened or pressured. Rather, I had been enlightened about my injury. The urgency of treatment had been expressed and understood. An immediate course of intense treatment began, which included daily exercises, icing twice daily, and ultrasound therapy and adjustment three times a week, because of my crazy work hours, I would see Dr. Morrison or Dr. Glass; both doctors were appraised of my condition and either would see me to accommodate my schedule. I began to see improvement within a week, and by Christmas I was released to maintenance treatment. My range of motion is nearly normal again! If Dr. Glass had not been so patient, yet firm and clear in explaining my condition and the possible consequences, I am sure I would have unknowingly suffered unnecessary and possibly irreparable damage. I am truly grateful for Dr. Glass’ and Dr. Morrison’s expertise and commitment to their patients.

When I first came in I had almost constant pain. It was so bad that I was taking a time released pain killer around the clock. After only 3 visits with Dr. Glass there was a noted difference, enough that I stopped the pain killer, then after a total of 5 visits, the pain is gone.

Very satisfied with progress so far. After four weeks, I could raise my shoulders over my head.

Any doubts you may have about chiropractic treatment here at Morrison Chiropractic will be laid to rest permanently very soon. I have been treated here for shoulder pain and lower back pain that was severe to the point of walking and normal movement was impossible. Now, in only 45 days my pain is gone and I can function normally. Regular adjustments and physical therapy have had wonderful results for me. I don’t need any painkillers because there is no pain anymore, what a relief!

They were waking me up in the middle of the night and keeping me up for 2 to 3 hours. It also made it hard to function properly during the day. They were so bad that I went to the emergency room at Howard County. A friend from work suggested trying chiropractic. I came in for an evaluation and began treatment. The pains began to dissipate immediately in severity and frequency. My concern was whether drug treatment would solve the problem or merely mask it. Chiropractic accomplished the goal that I wanted to attain.
There were also some pleasant side affects I hadn’t expected. I didn’t realize how tight my neck was. I now have greater movement and the ringing in my ears has lessened some. I also have a general feeling of well being that I haven’t had in many years.

On February 4, 2002 I cam to see Dr. Glass, I was in a bad way, lots of pain and couldn’t turn my head left or right or move my right arm. I was in so much pain I was holding my shoulders up and wasn’t able to do much of anything because of so much pain. I had been this way for a year and I had made up my mind that nothing could be done, because it had been a year since I had surgery. I had spine surgery January 23, 2001 and nine months later that same year I had rotator cuff surgery. As of today nine months later, which is September 18, 2002 I have gone from no hope to feeling so much better. I can do so much now there is no way I can thank him enough. And to top it off when I first saw Dr. Glass I could not drive. Because of my right arm, but as of today September 18the and with help of Dr. Glass I’m driving now! He has helped me so much and he will be truly missed. And if you are reading this you are getting the best! I’m not only speaking just for myself but I’m sure for others as well.
