I was off to a rocky start in 2009—mid-month I tripped over my 100-pound German shepherd and fractured my wrist. A quick trip to Seventh-Day Adventist, and I was casted and on my way.

I have always been resistant to doctors. I can’t abide the endless waiting in the reception area and then often longer time in the waiting room. A fifteen-minute visit typically results in over an hour (plus drive time).

Realtors are self-employed—we earn a commission, not a salary. I don’t have paid sick days or paid vacation days. As I am right-handed, my right-hand fracture was a major obstacle: I couldn’t drive with only my left hand, and my handwriting and left-handed typing were a struggle. I am not a fan of therapy, but fortunately consulted Dr. Gary Weckbacher, a chiropractic orthopedist with Crescenta Family Medical. Thank goodness I did. While I was “resting” my fracture, it was atrophying—it was the worst course I could take.

In addition, my right arm and shoulder “was out of whack” from babying my hand. Now with twice-weekly therapy, I am typing, writing, and, more importantly, driving—I can show property!

Years ago, after an auto accident, I tried therapy; it never helped. Only later visits to a chiropractor for adjustments finally improved the injury. I was very leery of attempting therapy again as I was convinced it would again be a time-waster, but I was wrong. If you are in the need for therapy, I highly recommend Dr. Gary. He is a great guy, he is courteous with your “waiting” time, and he has healed my hand.
