My name is Rachel Gerlach and let me start this by saying that the people at Dr. Quinn's office are the best family and support system you will find. I believe it is their support that is part of why I am a success story. Anyway, here is my story.
I am a very active person, between school and lifeguarding, pageants, dance and cheerleading. So not being able to move because of severe pain was a problem. But due to a dance accident, I was in unbearable pain that had me immobile for two and a half years. I had given up and so had my doctors. They told me I would never be out of pain and that I would never dance again. But that was when I met Dr. Quinn. Dr. Quinn and the people there changed my life.
I started DRX treatment and stopped working as a lifeguard for one summer. After a summer of treatment I was out of pain. The relief of pain, however, started much sooner than that. After just a few treatments I was able to stand up straighter and walk a little easier. It's been a year out of pain now and what a year. I was able to participate in Miss Washington USA, go to California for a dance camp, and am on a college dance team. My life is back to normal, I'm me again.
If you are reading this, you made the right choice coming here. Pain affects not only you, but everyone around you. Dr. Quinn gives you the hope you need and he can help you. If you are here, you are on your way to recovery. Trust me, it really works.
