    -Abl Brown

  • "My husband was referred to Derrick after his lower back seized up and he was in a great deal of pain. Derrick was quick to make a house visit on short notice when he heard my husband’s situation. Derrick explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. After about 30-45 minutes his pain was drastically reduced, range of motion was greatly improved, and his spirits were lifted. We are so very thankful for Derrick!!"
