There are all kinds of doctors in the world. For the most part, they all have the same goal; to
make their patients (us) feel better, or to make us feel whole. They are well trained and can
usually diagnose and repair as needed, then send us on our way with a nice pat on the back.
When you find a doctor who can do all this with compassion, true commitment to wellness
and an ability to exceed all expectations, you’ve found Dr. Michael Trayford.
I was the victim of a car accident in June of 2005. I had severe whiplash injuries and suffered
with horrible neck pain and blinding headaches. I went through several months of physical
therapy with minimal results. My neck pain subsided during treatments but was just as bad
or worse the next day and I felt no relief from the headaches. This lasted several months
before a friend told me about Dr. Trayford and what services he could offer. I needed help
badly, so despite money hardships and a lack of insurance, I called and set up an
appointment.
It was apparent from the moment I met Dr. Trayford that he was more than qualified to help
me get better. We discussed his impressive credentials and I learned about the elite field of
Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologists. He listened to me and heard my complaints about
what my life had been like for the past six months. He watched the way I carried my head and
my body. Then, he fixed it! Within just the first few visits, my headaches went away
completely. I went from not remembering the last time I didn’t have a headache to NO
headaches at all. My neck pain improved dramatically. I was able to sit without having to
physically hold my own head up with my hands. He even worked with me to set up a payment
plan that worked with my budget. To me, Dr. Trayford was a miracle. To Dr. Trayford, this was
just what he KNEW he could do for anyone.
As an amazing “side effect” from seeing Dr. Trayford, I have lost 40 pounds and nearly 10% of
my body fat in the past six months. While working on my neck, we discussed my need to lose
some weight. I’ve been struggling with my weight for over 14 years and honestly didn’t think
he’d be able to help me. I have been on “doctor diets” before and like everything else, I didn’t
think it would help. 40 pounds later however, I have been pleasantly surprised. Dr. Trayford’s
common sense and scientific approach to weight loss was not only easy to understand, but
easy to adapt as a lifestyle!
I continue now to see Dr. Trayford to work on strengthening my neck and shoulders to help
with the potential for new injury. He also gives me motivation and keeps me educated about
my healthy lifestyle choices. I can say that Dr. Trayford is unequivocally the most wonderful
doctor I’ve ever had. He has a true desire to help people. In many ways, I feel his results
oriented practices have saved my life!
