My son and I were Geocaching (treasure hunting and hiking) and I went to bend down to see if the "prize" was under a rock I felt a slight pain in my back. The pain didn't seem to be too bad, so we kept on treasure hunt. About an hour later I had to sit down and rest. I felt good until I stood up. The pain in my lower back was so intense that I had to sit down again. After some time I was able to walk very slowly back to my car. A neighbor of mine was outside and saw that I wasn't doing so well when I got out of my car. He recommended Dr. Ekberg before, but I always thought chiropractors were quacks. Of course it was a Saturday, but luckily Dr. Ekberg's office was open and they were able to see me right away. Dr Ekberg changed my mind about chiropractors. What he explained made perfect sense. I am a programmer, so I sit at a desk for hours a day. The chiropractor, Dr. Ekberg, explained that your body is smart and it uses the "use it or lose it" mentality. By sitting at the desk all day, and not working out much, my body didn't have to use the muscle to bend over. Over time not only did I lose the strength of the muscle in that area, my brain connection for that body part got also weaker. He explained something about learning to play piano also strengthens the synapses in the brain, so that is why after a while playing piano is very easy to do. When I walked out of his office I was pain free. I felt a little sore, but I could walk normal. Monday I saw him again and I felt great. I see Dr Ekberg on a regular basis now and trust him. Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg
