As a patient beginning chiropractic for the first time, to say I was skeptical would be an understatement. After speaking with Dr. Leber for a brief period, I thought I would give it a try. My choices were chiropractic or a second round of steroid injections in my lower back. For the past two years I have suffered from chronic lower back pain. The pain was so bad, that at times it caused me to leave parties early. I was unable to walk for long periods of time without resting. I was also unable to stand in one spot for even short periods of time. Many times, the pain would be so bad that I would have to sit in a reclining chair after getting out of bed in the morning. It took about one month of treatment before my lower back began to feel better. After about two months, I can honestly say I made the correct choice to begin chiropractic care. Thanks to Dr. Leber, I now understand that the steroid injections were only masking the problem. With the use of a model spine, Dr. Leber was able to demonstrate how the bones in my spine were rubbing on each to create the pain. With continued treatment and exercises to strengthen my lower back muscles, I am looking forward to years of a pain-free lower back, without steroid injections.   -Robert, Ambler
