Debilitating back pain controlled how Ross Hosseinpour lived for most of his life.

I personally considered myself to be handicapped for a majority of my life.

An active lifestyle, contact sports and a major car accident when he was a teenager, contributed to much of the pain.

When I got hit by the car, I'm pretty sure that's when my back went, because I also twisted when I fell on the hood.

The damage meant something as simple as bending down to tie his shoes before a flag football game caused him to throw out his back.

The pain, limited mobility and recovery time had him living in fear.

Afraid to do simple movements.

It put me down, when my back would go out, I'd say 5 to 7 days.

I don't work, no getting out of the couch.

Need assistance going to the bathroom, eating, laying down.

Yeah.

And if I did stand and have to get up a it was about 45 minutes round trip to the bathroom and back.

His back controlled his every decision and even stole the time he enjoyed with those who matter most his kids.

There were a lot of times when they'd go do stuff on the weekends, like go up to Green Bluff and, you know, go through the maze.

And I couldn't do any of that.

I'd have to be at home because if my back goes out when I'm there, there's an ambulance coming to get me.

And the intense regime of medication he was on to treat the chronic pain made it difficult to be present.

Even when he was able to join.

Attitude changes.

Little mood swings here and there.

Falling asleep a lot.

And being awake at night.

If kids are awake during the day to want to do something.

I don't have the energy.

If even, you know, if my back allowed me to go out and do something with the kids, a lot of the times the meds said otherwise.

As Ross accepted the idea that surgery on several parts of his body was the only option.

A friend suggested he try going to the AdjustMeant Chiropractic.

With nothing to lose, Ross hobbled into his first appointment on crutches.

When I came in, I talked about my back, of course, and then the conversation kind of went past that, and I talked about my knees and my shoulders, which I didn't come here for that.

Following an in-depth analysis, doctors Lincoln and Amanda were confident they could help.

But I said, I think we could fix you here.

And I was blown away.

I didn't think that would be possible.

And I'd say, for the for the first to 6 to 8 weeks, I came twice a week.

And each time improvement, improvement, improvement.

And then it got better.

He started spacing out appointments from once a week to once a month, then once every couple of months with the ability to be active and move more freely.

Ross lost weight and built strength.

Before I started coming here for years, I couldn't walk down stairs without using the handrail.

I had to take the weight off my knees.

After a couple of months coming here, I was walking up and down those stairs and I was like, I haven't done that in probably ten plus years.

Now, two years later, Ross is down 50 pounds and went from walking in on crutches to walking ten miles a day and most importantly, spending time with his kids.

The fear of throwing out his back and being bedridden for days gone.

I kind of got this know fear thing going now.

And so if you're going to try it, give it a chance and just do your research, make sure you're going to go to the right person.

It is.

I am living proof.
