Stories Of Recovery

“the work he did opened my airway for the first time in many years
The condition that brought me to Dr. Lockwood’s office first was tension that interfered with my heart and lungs. The work he did opened my airway for the first time in many years. It was a great treat to breathe freely again. Thank you for that alone.
I have been an advocate for natural health techniques and I appreciate Dr. Lockwood’s holistic approach. I like the gentler approach and taking time to work on the muscles involved.

When I had my rear-ender car accident, I felt so grateful for Dr. Lockwood’s attention to details and he set my body right over a couple of months. I have enjoyed the thoroughness and the gentleness of his physical examinations for the problem areas in my body.

It is wonderful to feel good again.”

“if i had not met Dr. Lockwood, my running days would have been over
I met Dr. Lockwood after I did a 5K where he was working to help racers. I had completed my first half-marathon and struggled with IT (Itibial band) issues. He worked on my legs and I was impressed with the results.
I was beginning to think my walking / running days were over before I had really started, but I wanted to stay active. Dr. Lockwood gave me exercises and laser treatments. If I had not met Dr. Lockwood, my running days would have been over, but now I am completing my 5th half-marathon this year. Thank you Dr. Lockwood!”

“i participated in the fairhaven 15k and completed the run with no hip pain! I really appreciate Dr. Lockwood’s approach to chiropractic care.
I started treatment at Align Chiropractic for routine care and maintenance. My brother is a chiropractor and (with his) moving away, I needed to establish myself with a new doctor. I chose Dr. Lockwood because of his philosophy.

During my first visit I mentioned that I had been experiencing hip pain while running. Pain had been part of my daily training. I love running…. Was I too old to run?

On my second visit Dr. Lockwood explained how the body is designed to run. He did some testing to see where my weakness was in my hips. Then he showed me some exercises.

I noticed improvement almost immediately. I would do the exercises as directed … the payoff happened so quickly! About 2 weeks after starting the exercises, I participated in the Fairhaven 15k and completed the run with no hip pain.

I continue to do the exercises, am able to run long distances without any pain. It has been a huge boost for me. I can go faster and chase my kids around the house the next day…. I run because I love it!”

“I frequently visit my family in Bellingham. On a recent visit, I was experiencing lower back pain related to traveling and a chronic condition I have. My daughter suggested that I see Dr. Chris Lockwood.
Dr. Lockwood spent ample time diagnosing me. After this visit my pain decreased significantly. It totally subsided after a few days.

I would not hesitate to return to see Dr. Lockwood whenever I am in the area. If I lived locally in Bellingham, I would see him on a regular basis.”

“I originally came to see Dr. Lockwood for what I thought was a sore muscle and hip issue, but as my pain progressed, he quickly recognized that my spine was involved and guided me through every step of care. With his treatment, explanations, and encouragement, I learned how to manage my condition and return to living life as usual, including getting back to ice skating for the first time in two years.”

“it’s hard to determine who is happier over my progress – Dr. Lockwood or me! A very painful shoulder prompted me to try chiropractic adjustments. Happily they did work and now I’m able to fix my hair, mop the floor and vacuum without pain!”

“I could barely lay on the floor, walk, sit, stand, or hold my son. Now I work out 7 days a week, play with my son, and can lay on the floor. I’m so glad I went to Align Chiropractic!”

“We knocked out the back pain quickly and permanently. Early last fall I visited Dr. Lockwood with tightness in my upper back and an unexplainable drastic loss in energy.
In fact I was going from a pro-level mountain bike racer to not being able to ride my bicycle at all and sleeping 12 hours a day.
Dr. Lockwood’s immediate concern was the adrenals and it was his muscle activation treatments that started it’s reversal. We knocked out the back pain quickly and permanently via’ specialty exercises, and set up treatment programs to level out what we confirmed was Adrenal Fatigue. Thanks to Dr. Lockwood, a proper diet, and several other area specialists, I’m back out in the Pacific Northwest woods again doing what I do, and what I love… riding my bike.”

“I came to see Dr. Lockwood… for my right knee. I had taken a nasty fall…. and was in a major amount of pain.
Dr. Lockwood adjusted me …and added some gentle exercises. He did a great job. Dr. Lockwood is an excellent listener and record keeper. He doesn’t push treatment if you are uncomfortable nor does he drag treatment on longer than is necessary.
He has a great disposition. His staff is efficient and pleasant to work with. Nothing but kudos for Dr. Lockwood.”

“Dr. Lockwood is the first chiropractor I’ve seen who looked at the patterns underlying my pain and provided me with tools to make improvements outside of the office. He always makes sure I’m comfortable with any adjustment and is so caring and genuine.”

“Lauren is The Best in town! I have been working with her for over a year now, she has added years to my life! Thank you so much to Lauren and the staff. Cannot describe how great I feel every time.”

“Dr. Jeffers is very knowledgeable and takes the time to make me feel comfortable and at ease during my visits. I highly recommend her! The front desk staff are welcoming and personable!”

“Chris and the whole team at Align are awesome. They truly have your best interest in mind. If they aren’t confident they can help you they will help you find the right care. With that said, Chris is extremely knowledgeable and effective in his work. He is caring, honest and of the highest integrity.”

“I credit this place for getting me back in working order after my back went out for about 6 weeks. Dr. Jeffers was really great about explaining my injury to me in a way that was easy to comprehend and showed real care in treating me. All of the front staff were really friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place.”

“I have been going to Dr. Lockwood for a few years now to get help with old injuries and unfortunately, do deal with new ones. He is a caring and skilled chiropractor and I ALWAYS leave feeling better than when I came in. I highly recommend him.”
