I’m the kind of guy who won’t go near a hospital or doctor’s office very easily. In fact on many occasions I’ve attempted to cure various ailments or wounds myself with little or no success just to avoid seeing a doctor. After leaving the military years ago I was a bit apprehensive to start using my company’s insurance for minor health issues but when I finally did a whole new world opened up to me. The military had got me accustomed to a lackluster style of customer service; «Here take this Motrin and get out of my face.» was what I would get from my squadron’s flight surgeon regularly. When I eventually needed a physical for work, I told my PA that I was having some work related lower back problems. She asked if I had ever considered seeing a Chiropractor. I told her that lying on a table and getting bended into a pretzel probably wasn’t going to fix my back as I prodded her for some decent pain meds. She insisted that I try and referred me to John Arishin. My hippie girlfriend also suggested that I try him, «You make good money, go see him or you can always come to yoga class with me.» The thought of being in a hot sweaty room doing«down dog» and«warrior» poses with a bunch of soft spoken hipsters prompted me to go see John Arishin. The office was nice and clean and the staff was very friendly. I told John that I didn’t think he could achieve what a hot bath, a 6 pack of beer, and a few vicodin could do but he assured me that he could make my back feel better. After my first adjustment I left his office feeling slightly sore and a bit confused but the next day I noticed my back was actually doing better. When my girlfriend asked about my visit I said something that I had never said before in my life, «Well I think that I’m going to schedule another appointment.» HELLJUSTFROZEOVER!!! Here I am excited to go back to a doctor’s office. John has given me several adjustments and treatments over the years and I can’t say enough about his abilities or skill and would refer him to anyone looking for pain relief. «I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.» Hippocratic Oath
