Porterfield Family Chiropractic Testimonials: Karin’s Story

karin-porterfieldWe all know Lifer alumna Karin Woodside. She, like many of us in Northwest Indiana, has experienced an injury or two. Everyone recovers from injury differently, and Karin had some residual effects after she recovered.

A pinched nerve caused pain in Karin’s arm and she suffered from chronic migraines.

“I was always in pain, and no pills seemed to work to alleviate it,” Karin said. Karin heard about Dr. Ryan Porterfield, owner of Porterfield Family Chiropractic in Valparaiso. She met him one day outside of the office and the began to chat.

“Dr. Porterfield was very nice and professional and he walked me through the entire process,” Karin said. “He talked so passionately and he really seemed to care. And I thought that if he could care so much with me, a complete stranger, than he must really care about his patients.”

So Karin decided to give chiropractic a try. At first she was skeptical, but she kept an open mind. That was a year ago. Karin has been getting adjustments on a regular basis ever since. Not only has the pain from her pinched nerve subsided, her migraines have decreased, she has more endurance, and her range of motion increased.

“Overall I feel a lot better,” Karin said.

Karin’s transformation was so dramatic that Dr. Porterfield used her x-rays from the start of her treatment to later on in her treatment as examples to show the differences that chiropractic care can make when he treats other patients.

If you are having problems that don’t seem to improve with surgery or pills, or you haven’t tried that route yet and you want to avoid it, perhaps you should try a chiropractor. Give Porterfield Family Chiropractic a call and find out if chiropractic care is right for you.
