Dr. Lee Funk: I'm here with my long-time friend Buddy Tipton, who is also a patient of mine. Buddy, how has acupuncture and chiropractic helped you?
Pastor Buddy Tipton: Well, first of all, what I would like to say is that I did not ever think anyone would be putting needles in me! I had always thought of Acupuncture as [exclusively] socio-Eastern Religion. And I just want to say something about that to put people at ease.
One of the things that I appreciate about your medicine and the way that you treat people is that you've got alternatives. If someone is not comfortable with one way of treatment, then you'll treat us with something else. And you involve us in the decision making.
I've been in this community for over thirty three years now. I'm sixty five years old, just recently. And I've noticed a few aches and pains! I've played racket-ball for much of my life and I've pretty much [wore out] my left knee. I've had to have orthoscopic surgery on it twice. And I pretty much gave up racket ball because I thought I could not play anymore because the next thing to come would be a knee replacement.
And I was telling you [Dr. Lee Funk] about that, and you told me that you could help me with that. I thought to myself, "Well, people normally tell you that at your age, you're going to have to live with aches and pains!" And [before Dr. Lee Funk] I decided that that was pretty much what I was going to have to do!
But you started treating me and now I'm playing Racket Ball about three or four times a week. And I'm pain free. And that's the thing: here, a lot of doctors talk about pain management. But I say the best way to manage pain is to get rid of it!
