Impossible to sit, stand, walk... It was all I could do to get in my car to get to the doctor’s ofďŹ ce. During my ďŹ rst exam, my range of motion was VERY limited! It was almost impossible to sit, stand, walk or even breathe! After examining my x-rays, we started treatment. After a mild adjustment on my neck, by that afternoon, I could see improvement. The next few days, my pain decreased drastically! As each visit passed, my pain was less and less. I truly believe in chiropractic care and would recommend it to anyone suffering from back pain as I did. Thanks Dr. Ammons & Dr. Silvester! April Rosser
BUBBA’S STORY
After 24 years in the restaurant business I opened Bubba’s Subs & Pizza in the Fall of 2009. Bubba’s is named after my son, Jacob, who weighing almost 10 lbs. at birth, was given his nickname by the nurses at Central Carolina Hospital.
Although we cannot guarantee results or predict how fast a patient will respond, Atlas Orthogonal care is profoundly effective in treating these conditions. Why suffer when help may be just a phone call away? Call not for an examination to see if speciďŹ c upper cervical care might beneďŹ t you.
At Bubba’s we pledge to serve only the freshest subs and pizza to you, our loyal customers, at a reasonable price in a clean, family friendly environment. We sincerely hope you enjoy your visit to Bubba’s and when you do please tell a friend.
Thank you‌ Jeff Hartman 919-774-4438 1932 S. Horner Blvd Sanford
