I initially sought treatment with Dr. Bob Schumacher due to poor posture after 2 hip replacement surgeries. When I say “poor posture,” I don’t mean I was slouching; my posture was very twisted. I felt like I had a pad pressing down on the tops of my shoulders. I was constantly stiff, and one of my legs felt shorter than the other. The most debilitating aspect of my condition was the loss of my athletic ability. I know a thing or two about the strength, flexibility, and vigor that accompanies athletic skill. In addition to coaching a championship girls’ volleyball team, I myself was a Division 1 NCAA volleyball champion. My condition affected my life and career on a daily basis. My muscles stayed tight and hard whether I was teaching in the classroom or coaching. I literally felt like my muscles could not relax. My shoulders and back felt frozen into a ‘defensive’ posture. Plus, I would reinforce my posture problems standing day after day without relief at the chalkboard or in the gym. The result of merely surviving this condition was emotionally devastating. I felt like a freak - like I was unworthy of being around others. I had no hope. I thought, “If this is as good as my health will ever be after these surgeries, how am I ever going to survive the rest of my life?” Anxiety over these new limitations had robbed me of my natural outgoingness. Suddenly I was very shy and found it difficult to speak to others. I dragged myself through the day, and by the time I got home from school, I was exhausted. Before I began treatment with Dr. Bob, I tried lots of different things to help relieve my pain and correct my posture issues: physical therapy, orthopedists, even other chiropractors. It was only with Dr. Bob, however, that I’ve experienced relief. Although I have improved structurally with Dr. Bob’s treatment, he has also helped me experience a physical, spiritual, and emotional journey. He intuitively perceives a person’s whole being but also dissects her or his individual qualities and composition in order to precisely customize treatment. He sees your potential and offers you solutions for your condition step by step by step. It’s not always easy, but it’s worth the effort in order to improve, maintain, and sustain your well being. He’s also taught me that ‘relaxing’ into healing and not forcing expectations of how you ‘should’ be healing is the better way to health. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Bob. Since treatment, my pain, stiffness, and posture have greatly improved. I have such ease of movement. I stand taller and I have more energy. Equally importantly, I have also gained freedom of personality and of self. I don’t push through my life anymore! Once again, I feel as though my life has endless possibilities. ~ Karine Ferdinandsen, educator and coach

Work became a challenge as the pain made both concentration and nightly rest difficult. It also caused me to overeat due to stress. I tried lots of things to help myself – staying immobile for long periods of time, heat, ice, acetaminophen, and trying to ‘stretch out’ my back. I was very stubborn; you might say I had a ‘typical male reaction’ in waiting so long to seek outside help. My treatment with Dr. Bob has been outstanding. Since the start of my care, my back and legs are more relaxed. My pain is greatly reduced and overall, I feel more stable. Dr. Bob has taught me how to sit properly at my job site as well as when not to sit. I’ve also learned how to relax and accommodate my body in order to facilitate healing. Dr. Bob has not only relieved my pain but also taught me how to prevent the pain in the first place. He discusses and demonstrates ways that I can alleviate and circumvent many of the issues that worsened or even caused my back problems. He speaks to me in terms exclusive to my circumstances and condition, something that I have scarcely encountered within the healthcare community. He even prompted me to start losing weight. Now that I’m better, I’m able to exercise again. Dr. Bob has just helped my life in general. ~ Michael Nugent, Owner, Nugent Associates, Inc.

Dr. Bob is the Greatest! I suffered a back problem from moving furniture and playing too much Golf. Today I am kicking up my heels and swinging the club with no pain, but I still cant putt.
