For a living, I work as a property manager for a gentleman in Boulder. My interests are shamanic practices and techniques from worldwide perspectives. This continuation of interest has brought me wonderful understanding of the nature of reality.
In the middle of 2007, all of this dropped out of the picture, because I sustained a severe closed head injury.
My life right before the accident that time was good, I was working full time, and I had just come back from a two week vacation from the northwest. I was helping a friend that day, and I had just got done unloading materials we had purchased into a vehicle. I stepped away, turned around, and I saw a blue white flash of light, and all of a sudden I thought I was back in the kickboxing ring, having just been knocked down (Chante was a kickboxer in the past).
I was told what happened later after I came back to consciousness....three sheets of 4'x8' corrugated roofing metal had blown off a cart and struck me on the neck and head, knocking me unconscious. I was severely injured.
Everything changed from that day, I couldn't work, felt sick most of the time, and was living with severe headaches and a lot of pain in my head, neck and back. It really stopped me in my tracks. Immediately I became very depressed, and I could not make sense of my life. I needed to sleep 10-19 hours per day. My balance was so disoriented that I couldn't even close my eyes in the shower without holding onto something. I knew I needed help immediately.
Dr. Groover's name was given to me by several friends in Boulder. I called him, and Tom immediately responded and started with the testing and treatment, as he understood the severity of my condition.
When treatment started I started feeling relief immediately! Many symptoms of my injury disappeared on the first session, and the rest melted away in later sessions.
How do I feel now? Excellent! I feel as strong as I felt days prior to my accident. From the physical aspect, I have much more movement. I feel like I'm able to engage in more activities as the months go by. I'm able to work a more. With the traumatic physical stress out of the way, I'm now able to focus on healing my brain. Now I'm sleeping better, feeling rested, and waking up without pain and severe headaches.
I think it has been fascinating working with Dr Groover....... Most importantly, I feel as if I've made a friend who I can trust with my bodily mechanics, which is really important to me, because I had become skeptical of chiropractors from past injuries received from them. I was greatly relieved to find someone with this kind of expertise in this field. I would like to add that Tom is intelligent, delightful, and funny, and REAL.
I feel enthusiastic about my continuing recovery, and I'm excited to continue to down the road of true physical and mental strength. I feel that I'm fully able to take on this challenge now that I have gone through this care.
For anyone that has had an injury, it is really worth trusting Tom's chiropractic skills and intuitive nature on healing. I really encourage anyone that has any challenges to try it and follow through. From day one, I've recommended Dr. Groover, and will continue to do so.
