Dr. Ronny Bergman

My wife began being treated by Dr. Ronny in November '07 based on a recommendation from a friend, and in turn she recommended that I see him and see where it goes.  Having no prior experience with chiropractic, this was new to me entirely.  I am 36 years old, run 15-20 miles a week, and lift free weights regularly.  I was not injured and didn’t think of myself as someone who needed to be under doctor care for anything.  Dr. Ronny did his initial eventuation where he takes postural pictures.  I stood up straight as a Marine … or so I thought.  Seeing the pictures, I didn’t need the computer to tell me that I was bent out of shape.  I told Dr. Ronny that I’d give it a try to see if he could turn me into a believer by the end of the year.

The year isn’t yet over and I’m not just a believer, I’m a full convert and proselytizer.  If you are reading this, you probably know the commonly cited benefits of chiropractic (better sleep, more energy, etc.).  I’ve experienced these, but have noticed some personal improvements that I'd like to share:

1. Weight Lifting: I notice a clear difference in my balance.  As in, I have it.  Somehow now it seems obvious now that I didn’t have solid footing before being adjusted.  At the time, I thought I was struggling to maintain proper technique at my upper weight limit.  Not so … keeping proper technique is no problem now that my hips and lower back are aligned, even when I’m lifting a s much as I can.

2. Driving:  I have always struggled to find a comfortable seat position.  Where my arms would be comfortable holding the wheel, my legs would feel too close to the front for a long drive.  Nothing serious, but enough to be annoying.  A couple of weeks and several adjustments from Dr. Ronny and … voila!  One day I get in my car and start moving the seat around.  Suddenly I realize that it’s landed in some sweet spot.  My hands are resting nicely and my legs are not twisted.   It is so nice to feel like I actually fit in my car.

3. Sitting on the floor: This is something that I haven’t felt much like doing since high school.  Cross-legged, leaning back, whichever which way, for the past 15 years or so I have found sitting on the ground to be uncomfortable to the point that I’ve wondered why anyone over 20 would want to try.  One day recently I was playing with my sons on the floor.  I realize:  Hey, I’m sitting cross-legged ... but it isn’t awkward or tiring.  I’m not ready to give up chairs, but being able to play on the floor comfortably with my boys is priceless.

So, I offered to write this testimonial to share some of the positive things that have come out of my treatment from Dr. Ronny.  These things may seem deceptively small … but each has had a notable impact on my quality of life.  My new goal is the bike.  I’m an avid cyclist, but for the past couple of seasons have felt that I just can’t find an ideal combination of seat-and-handlebar positions.  Three months until spring … Dr. Ronny?
