Owens Family

John Owens and his remarkable family indeed represent the face of chiropractic. Fifteen years ago John met Dr. Fargo at a spinal screening at Calhoun Beach Club. John was experiencing severe leg pain which prohibited him from working out without discomfort. John said, "It’s funny; I can picture it like it was yesterday. He did his bend and twist – something I have become so used to – and he basically showed me how locked up I was." Dr. Fargo said he could help and, fortunately for John and his family, John believed him. John noticed results almost immediately. His pain was relieved and he was able to return to working out and avoid a discussed surgery. John recommends chiropractic to others every day. "It pains me to see people in need of chiropractic care that don’t get it." As a result of John’s chance meeting with Dr. Fargo, John’s entire family has experienced the benefits of chiropractic.

John’s wife Pat came to us complaining of soreness in the lower back, neck, knees, as well as, tennis elbow, high stress and general "wear and tear." Solutions from her previous doctors included high doses of Ibuprofen. After one week under Dr. Fargo’s care Pat was convinced she had taken the better path toward wellness. Oldest daughter Jessica (age 18) saw results in one week after receiving care for a neck injury suffered during a swim meet. She enthusiastically recommends chiropractic to prevent injuries and promote overall health. Jessica states, "It helps with pain and getting things back into alignment." After a car accident Jessica was introduced to, and enjoyed the benefits of, therapeutic massage therapy which aided her on her road to recovery. Daughter Abra (age 14) came to Dr. Fargo for an elbow injury suffered while playing tennis. She saw immediate results. Abra recommends chiropractic, particularly to athletes, saying, "If you don’t know what’s hurting, chiropractors can find it." John and Pat’s son Joe (age 10) experienced frequent soreness as he trained for and eventually achieved his black belt in karate. After one adjustment Joe saw results and happily recommends chiropractic for "when you’re sore or have a pain somewhere."

The Owens family is most definitely a shining example of our goal at Chiropractic Health and Wellness – to inspire families to make choices that result in a lifetime of vibrant health.
