Low Back PainTestimonials
I have owned my landscaping business for the last 30 years. It has always been very rewarding but hard work. Over the last several years, I have been suffering from constant serious back pain. As you know, I have been diagnosed with three herniated and degenerating disks. Your regular chiropractic care has indeed helped; however, if I moved even a little out of the ordinary, the intense pain returned day and night and never really disappeared. In my mind the next step was back surgery which meant a lot of down time from my business.
Because of my particular situation, you suggested that I have a procedure done known as MUA (Manipulation Under Anesthesia). I met with you and Dr. Mark Schwartz and you both explained the procedure in great depth and the possible results. Hearing that I may not have constant pain was enough for me to have the procedure done. During the three sessions you and Dr. Schwartz, and the entire staff, especially the nurses, were absolutely wonderful to me. Everyone was so professional and deeply caring.
Now, for the results. This is an absolutely wonderful procedure. Within 2 days after my last session, I had no pain at all. I couldn't believe it. I was a little sore from having the procedure done but the fact that the pain was gone was a true blessing. Here it is two weeks later and I still have no pain. I am going to physical therapy several times a week and a chiropractic care session with Dr. Tony once a week as both will help strengthen my back so I can live a normal life again. I highly recommend the MUA procedure to anyone who has similar conditions to mine. Thank you for all your care and professionalism.

Before coming to Garrow Family Chiropractic, I was experiencing severe pain in my lower back area. At first, I would only notice the pain when I was lifting something heavy or when I was doing a hard work out. The pain became more frequent and more intense and my back began to act up for no reason at all. I could no longer sit, stand, or sleep without experiencing major discomfort.
When I decided that I couldn't ignore my condition any further, I came and met with Dr. Garrow. He immediately targeted the cause of my pain as an abnormal curvature of my spine, and begun adjusting me. After the first 2 adjustments, I felt tremendously better. I was able to resume my running, and I even felt well enough to compete in a 5K road race only a week after my first visit!

On August 20, 2001 I had a biopsy on my prostate gland. The result was OK but my lower back was injured in the process. I suffered intense pain in my right buttock and hip area. I could only sleep 1-2 hours a night and I lost 20 pounds in 20 days. The spasms were very, very painful. I was on my back most of the time. On Sunday, Sept 16th I saw a flyer in the Sunday press about Dr. Garrow and his practice. This was truly a blessing to me. I called on the 20th and my first visit was the next day.
I could hardly walk and getting in and out of the car was almost impossible. I could in no way tie my shoes. I visited Dr. Garrow on the average of 3 times a week. By mid-October, my spasms were not as frequent and I started doing a few things around the house and even attended a few football games. By the middle of November, I was able to rake leaves for about an hour a day. I still had some pain, but it was definitely improving. To make a long story short, by December I started to walk a couple of miles a day and having very little, if any, pain in my low back. I credit Dr. Garrow's expertise for making me whole again. Feeling good again...
