I am a runner. Running is my passion. About a year and a half ago I managed to qualify for the Boston Marathon…a dream I’d had since I was kid. Six months later I ran into a series of training impediments. I developed a nagging hamstring and glute pain that hurt just enough to prevent me from doing any serious training. My calves also began to hurt during my runs. My hopes of doing well at Boston were fading. I managed to get through Boston but then got involved with a charity to run the Air Force Marathon. As time grew close, the aches and pains worsened. I was beginning to think I just needed to give up running and then decided to seek chiropractic treatment with Dr. Holt. My only regret is that it took me so long to come to that decision. I began treatment just four weeks before the Air Force Marathon. I began to feel better within just a few treatments. I even managed to finish the marathon a minute faster than the Boston! Just two months later I feel stronger than ever. I can’t believe I even thought of putting away the shoes. I’m not really sure how Dr. Holt does it. I never would have thought that my spinal health could cause such varied aches and pains. Dr. Holt knew just what to do to relieve my pain.

I’m 43 years old and was beginning to think running was becoming something I’d tell people I did in the past. After seeing Dr. Holt; I think I see another Boston in my future!
Don’t put it off…go see him today!
Thanks Dr. Holt!

When I decided to run the Marine Corps Marathon for the third time I knew that the herniated disc in my back could be a problem. A coworker who was also training for a marathon was seeing Dr. Holt and recommended that I give chiropractic adjustments a try. I started having adjustments twice a week and they immediately took the pressure off and loosened my lower back.

Unfortunately, as my training runs became longer and longer I started experiencing pain in my left knee. Any distance over 15 miles caused extreme pain. During one of my adjustments I mentioned the knee pain to Dr. Hold and he recommended taping my knee before long runs. Over the course of a few weeks we tried different styles/techniques of tape and eventually found a style that worked perfectly.

When race day approached Dr. Holt offered to give me an extra adjustment and took extra care to tape my knee “just right.” Dr. Holt’s adjustments alleviated the pain back pain I had lived with your years and he was quick to offer a solution when my knee started bothering me. During the race my knee didn’t hurt at all, and my back caused me no problems. I was able to cut 52 minutes off my Personal Record and I couldn’t have done it without Dr. Holt’s help.

Here’s my testimonial.

Last spring, I began to play baseball again after 40 years. My career as a software engineer keeps me seated most work days. My introduction to chiropractic care began at a company sponsored health fare in the fall. Several minutes of “hands on” diagnostics and back massage convinced me to take the next step. Office visits began a few days later. My first visit started with a “one on one” meeting to discuss treatment and goals. My body’s response to its first chiropractic adjustment was remarkable. The range of motion for my shoulders, neck, and hips improved immediately. My energy level rose, my movements became almost effortless, and there was lightness in my feet. Successive visits sustain and reinforce the positive results of my first visit. Spring is almost here and baseball season begins in a few weeks. I look forward to playing baseball this year with a revitalized body. Thank you Doctor Holt.

Regards, Jim

Dr. Holt,

I wanted to pass on a short note to say thanks for all you have done for me during our visits so far.

When I started visiting you I was a bit skeptical. I had seen a chiropractor before and it really didn't work for me. I wasn't sure what seeing you would really do for me, but I needed to take the chance and give it a shot...and I'm really glad I did.

I've been thoroughly impressed with your gentle demeanor and your willingness to explain all of the procedures you are performing. The care itself has been outstanding. Immediately after the first visit I was feeling better and now that we're a few months into the care, I'm feeling wonderful. My back feel significantly better and my whole body has adapted to this care and is feeling better. Daily activities are much easier and more comfortable to perform. One last thing - I haven't slept this well in a couple of years and for that alone, I'm truly grateful.

Your care and attention has been a true benefit to me and I'm looking forward to continuing our visits.

Thanks,

After being in pain for over a year and with five different doctors not being able to pin point the cause of the pain, my primary care giver recommended I see another rheumatologist who ordered an x-ray that reveled the cause of my pain. About this time one of the trainers at Sports and Health, aware of my problems, recommended I see Dr Holt. I knew I was in good hands when after seeing my x-ray Dr Holt gave the same diagnosis as the rheumatologist. I started my treatment with Dr Holt, with the blessing of the rheumatologist, 15 July 2008 and in about four months I was practically pain free. For the first time in almost eighteen months I could lay down without pain, I could get up or turn over with very little pain, I could walk more than 30 feet without having to stop and sit down. I finally got a good night sleep; I started to have a normal life again.

It wasn’t easy going, many times I wanted to quit because the pain didn’t seem to be going away and I really did not think that Dr Holt’s procedures were doing me any good. However, what made me stick it out with Dr Holt was his genuine concern for me. It became very obvious that he wanted me out of pain and he showed this with patience, determination and compassion that made me realize he wasn’t going to give up on me, so I decided, neither was I. He was quick to advise that I get a second opinion if I was not comfortable with my treatments, which I did, all roads lead me back to Dr Holt.

I’m realistic and know that because of my condition I will never be totally rid of the problem that brought me to Dr Holt in the first place, but I also know I do not have to live in excruciating pain and can lead an active life. I continue to receive therapy, but now I can go once a week instead of three times a week, that’s a tremendous improvement. Thanks to Dr Davis Holt, I am able to work out five days a week again, walk, dance, work in my yard, travel, and enjoy the normal everyday things that I had to give up because of my condition.

Doc. because of you I have my life back, thanks and God Bless!!!
