I was so reluctant to go to a chiropractor! I have two types of scoliosis and was having real trouble with the rotational scoliosis effect on my upper back - couldn't lift anything, couldn't stand up for a short time - my muscles were completely stretched out. I tried PT but the exercises were too aggressive for how weak I was. So my friend recmnd Ruch - and at first I was going every week, then it was once a month and now I get a "tune up" every couple of months. Because my problem is structural - my spine will always try to go back to the curve it wants - I need to keep on top of it. I have taken my kids - all three teenagers - and he helps them with sports related problems as well. Dr. Ruch is not like many Chiro's that advocate how their services can cure anything - he is a quiet, modest person who is very gentle. I have to ask him "when should I come back?" He is top of my list!
