His chiropractic story
Dr. Neal was a patient years before he ever considered being a chiropractor. He
suffered from headaches and lower back pain throughout childhood. His doctors could
not find anything wrong and just prescribed pain medication. The drugs dulled his
symptoms, but did not take away the pain.
When Dr. Neal was in college, the pain got so bad he could not take it. He was
desperate and was introduced to Dr. John D. Grostic. Dr. Grostic took x-rays of his neck,
analyzed them, and adjusted him.
Dr. Neal had been to other chiropractors before, but this was a new experience.
The adjustment was gentle and did not involve any twisting or cracking. The headaches
and the back pain went away. In fact, it worked so well that Dr. Neal became a Grostic
Chiropractor.
