Ann's Spine Story
Ann shares, "I was having trouble walking more than 10 minutes at a time and I couldn't pick up any of our grandbabies due to the pain. Dr. Schwender said, "I can help you and it’s not your fault, you didn't do anything to cause this in your spine." That meant so much to me! This team of professionals really does care and I feel blessed by God to have been led to this doctor and his team. It's fantastic to LIVE again!"
