A Doctor's Confession to Brigham City — and why, despite all, I still do what I do.
Dear Friend,
Confessions are tough. Real tough. But, sometimes a confession can set the record straight, and I want to give credit where credit is due. Before I talk about my confession, though, let me say a few other things first.
Let me start by explaining the photo in this letter. When I meet people in town they usually say, "Oh, yeah, I know you, you're Dr. Hoopes. I've seen your ad with that picture of you and the two cute little boys." Well, I'm the guy in the middle.
Years ago something happened to me that changed my life forever. Let me tell you my story.
On October 31st 1989 my life changed forever. I was in a car accident right here in Brigham City. The insurance company told my parents that the accident was a low impact collision and that I would be just fine in a few weeks. Well a few weeks after the accident I wasn't just fine. I started to develop headaches, neck pain, and difficulty paying attention in class. As time went on my pain and symptoms became worse — so bad that I couldn't focus in class. My grades dropped from honor roll to even being kicked out of class for behavioral problems.
My parents took me to a great chiropractor in Ogden. He took some x-rays and made some gentle adjustments to my back and neck. The adjustment didn't hurt — it actually felt good. My headaches and neck pain went away, and I was back on the honor roll within 3 weeks. It worked so well for me, and I was impressed with the other miracles I saw in his office, that I eventually went to chiropractic school myself.
Now people come to see me with their headaches and neck pain. They also come to me with low back pains, migraines, chronic pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, fibromyalgia, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, and athletic injuries — to name a few.
Here's what some of my patients had to say:
"Wrestling on an elite level I have put my body through a lot. Dr. Hoopes keeps me in tip top shape."
"After two failed back surgeries I still had intense pain. It wasn't until Dr. Hoopes treated me with decompression and chiropractic that my pain finally went away!"
"My knees used to hurt so bad I almost had to give up basketball — not anymore, thanks Dr. Hoopes!"
Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can't really take the credit.
My confession is that I've never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. We get tremendous results. It's as simple as that!
In our office we not only provide gentle, effective chiropractic care, we also provide decompression therapy. Decompression therapy gets tremendous results with disc herniations, arthritis, facet problems, and chronic back pain. Most insurance plans cover 100% of treatment costs, and we keep our prices low to help everyone who needs our help.
I am absolutely certain that I can help you improve your health and provide lasting, pain-free results.
Our office is friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. Advantage Medical Center is at 770 S. 200 E. (inside Physiques Health Club). Call 435-723-0517 today for an appointment.
