Personal Chiropractic History

I was first introduced to chiropractic care after having severe low back problems for several years. My back "went out" often and I was typically "down" for several days each time. There were times that I had to ask my NUCCA doctor to come to my house to adjust me because I could not get up. Before finding NUCCA, I had been told by an orthopedic specialist to consider surgery. My mother had had two back surgeries but still lived in constant pain. I knew that surgery would not be an option for me. A friend kept insisting that I go to her chiropractor, who was a NUCCA specialist. Reluctantly, I decided to give chiropractic a try. On my first visit with my NUCCA doctor (my first experience with any type of chiropractor) I was totally under-whelmed by the adjustment he made right below my ear. His touch was so slight and my pain was located so low in my spine, I just knew that I had been "taken" by this guy. But, then, as I got up off the adjusting table, ready to let him have it, I noticed that about 50% of my pain was gone. That got my attention! I started paying close attention to what my doctor was telling me and to what he was doing to me on each subsequent visit. Because my condition was acute when I started care, it did take many visits to get my spine to stabilize so I could "hold" my correction. My doctor explained to me that real healing occurred only when my spine stayed in alignment. That made sense to me.

I have been a chiropractic patient since 1981. At one point, I had held my correction for a period of six years. Now that I'm making spinal corrections myself, I will typically need to get corrected once a month or so. The change that NUCCA chiropractic made in my life is what prompted me to make a career change from a machinist to a NUCCA chiropractor. It's the best move I could have made. The gratification of helping others who are hurting, like I was, makes going to the office a joy. I feel I can truly make a difference in people's lives!

 

Office Staff

Debbie T., Office Manager

Dr. Trapp and I have been married for 17 years. I have been his Office Manager for the last 12 years and a NUCCA patient for 16 years. My problem was a huge herniated disc between L4/L5 with a blazing sciatic nerve. At age 32 I was told to have surgery, but Dr. Trapp didn't want me to. I'm so glad he was there to be the voice of reason. I never had surgery, and I have no more pain.

I am a graduate of Broken Arrow High School (you guess the year) after which I received an Associate Degree in Computer Programming from Tulsa Junior College. I then completed my Bachelor Degree in Business Management from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. Yes, Dr. Trapp is a BIG Sooner fan but I say "Go Pokes!"

I can help you with questions you may have about our office or insurance. I can also help with questions you may have about NUCCA care from a patient's perspective. If you are hurting or having nagging health problems that just won't go away, I encourage you to come in and find out how we may be able to help you.
