Philip, Full Story
I got a herniated disc repaired last summer (2002). My girlfriend and I recently started dating and she's
been going to him for awhile. I told her what my post-op therapy was with my surgeon and she said,
"You've got to go see this guy." So I made an appointment. I've been going to chiropractors for 25 years.
He had me doing things in a week that these other doctors said "Don't ever try to do them."
Hyperextensions. It was really wild. I was doing them, in a couple of weeks. I had to concentrate on how
to walk again after disc surgery. It wasn't coming naturally to my left leg. I'm hiking in the woods and I have
to concentrate on every step. Heel, Ball, Kick. I had to mentally train myself to get my left calf to work
again. I was really freaking out about it. He did these two pressure moves on my hips and put them back
where they belong. The second time he did it, he said. "How do you feel? Because this is going to be a
whole new life for you." I said, "I don't know. I don't feel anything. Can I go out for a hike?" I went out for a
hike at Ravenswood Park 10 minutes after I left his office, I had all the strength in my left leg that I hadn't
had for years. It was phenomenal. I was with a friend and I was telling him, "Can you believe this? Look at
me!" I was hopping off the rocks, kicking off—the walk came back naturally: the heel-toe, ball, kick. There
was no effort involved. I couldn't believe how good it was.
I meet all these people who also have gone to chiropractors for years like I have and it's all been
temporary. They say, "Oh, my back hurts, my arm hurts, my head hurts, this hurts, that hurts." I say to them,
"You know, you go see Rosenthal. It's great. It's not temporary." If you want to get fixed, go see this David
Rosenthal. Everybody says to me, "you gotta see my chiropractor". He's a healer. He's not just a
chiropractor. If you want to get fixed, go see this guy and he'll fix you.
I hurt myself playing hockey. I thought I tore a tendon and I went to see an orthopedic surgeon. I couldn't
even hold a cup of coffee on some days it was so bad. He did an MRI and I came back to him and he
said "It's a really slight tear, Phil; it's too small to operate on. I can't give you a cortisone shot because it's
too deep and I might miss it. His recommendation was, "Don't do anything for a year. See if it will heal." I
said, "Well, I play hockey and my kids are into baseball. I'm a coach in football. I couldn't play baseball
with these kids for a whole year. I couldn't play football. I couldn't skate because I couldn't hold the stick
handle. I said, "You're kidding me!" I was about 6 months into this therapy they gave me, that did
absolutely nothing. After just two sessions with David, the pain was gone. I said, "I don't believe it. Where
the hell have you been?"
After my disc operation, I went to my second-month follow-up. This was after seeing David for awhile. I felt
ready to go back to work but I didn't want to go back until I was feeling at 200 percent. I run heavy
equipment so it's like getting a beating every day. The day after I was operated on, the guy next to me in
the recovery room was an employee for the Town of Swampscott. I got hurt running a front-loader. He got
injured running a front-loader. Same disc. Same operation. Same doctor. We had appointments 15
minutes apart for the second monthly follow-up. At this point, I'm hiking heavy. I'm doing hyperextensions.
I'm able to go fishing and do whatever I want. There's no limit. I'm having a great time. He comes in; he's
been following the surgeon's recommendations. He's got a limp; he's hunched over. I say to myself,
"Wow!" He says, "Yes, I've still got a little pain going up here. How are you doing?" I didn't want to tell him
how great I was doing, you know?. I just said, "I'm doing all right." He left before I went in and I watched
him. "Oh, my God." I went from a devastating injury. If I hadn't met my girlfriend, I wouldn't have been
referred to Dr. Rosenthal. I probably would have been totally disabled. I couldn't have gone back to work
and taken that beating every day, running equipment. I would have to have been educated for a whole
new career. I went from a totally desperate situation, being in dire straits to getting near optimal
condition. To being a new man.
