I was approximately 40 foot from a torpedo when it struck a ship I was on, almost fifty two years ago.  I survived, but with devastating aftermath.  I was also the man in charge of body recovery in the after math, and what this did to my body mentally, and physically is almost beyond description.  Suffice it to say that back in those days, there were no CT Scans, no MRI’s and such, to diagnose what was wrong with me.  I only had one low back surgery, and that one was to repair a disk that was bulging out of my lower spine.  I lived in constant pain from the tremendous pressure change that happened to my body, when the torpedo struck.   Cleaning up the aftermath of all this, added more stress and injury to my back.  Over fifty one years of fighting back, with medication, therapy of all kinds, chiropractors, you name it.   I never got the Physical Therapy I needed until I came to CORE for help.  Within a month, I was feeling better, much better, and all this even though I am close to eighty years old.  It is almost beyond belief.  What they gave me was instruction on stretching, laser therapy, moist heat, and from Nicole a lot of positive input.  Just today that same input from Molly.  So, indeed I have received the help I needed, and am looking at life in a completely different way, then I have in the past.  On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, they would deserve the 10.  Most people at my age, are looking at the down side of things, and I for one certainly don’t feel that way at all.
