Thanks for helping me make it to the cage! -Brad Blackburn (UFC Fighter)
About a year ago my wife and I took a trip out to Washington to visit her brother, Dr. Sean Flaherty. While we where there Dr. Sean learned that I was getting repeat headaches and asked if I'd be interested in letting him give me a couple treatments using some new equipment he had at the office. I agreed and was interested immediately. The following day we began. The treatments were painless and unlike any adjustment I'd ever had or for that matter unlike any other treatment I'd ever received from a chiropractor. The entire procedure was done with me seated on a chair while Dr. Sean ran a series of tests with his hands at the base of my skull. At the end of each test he used a machine that resembled a hand drill with a pulsating bit to stimulate the muscles around the base of my skull and top of my neck. The procedure lacked the instant gratification that comes with most adjustments and had no noticeable effect that first day. He continued to treat me for three or four days after that, using the same series of tests with his hands and pulsating machine. By the fourth day I woke up with no headache but wasn't 100% sure if it was just a lucky break or the treatments that had taken care of the headaches. Unfortunately our trip quickly came to an end and it was back to work for me. At the time that meant 12 hour days, six days a week. After being home for a few weeks and thoroughly stressed at work my wife asked me how my headaches were and commented that she had noticed I wasn't waking up in pain anymore. The change had come gradually and probably over the course of a couple weeks, but she was right, I hadn't woken up with a headache in quite some time and in fact I wasn't getting them at all, which for me was odd. I assume the combination of work stress and feeling so good in the morning had kept me from noticing the gradual change I had experienced but the simple truth is I had stopped reaching for the Advil every morning and began going about my days pain free. I used to wake up on a regular basis with a dull headache and was quite used to taking a couple Advil to solve the problem. What Dr. Sean was able to do in just a few days has changed my life. I'd bet I took two or three Advil every day for the better part of five years. Since last year when I saw Dr. Sean I've had the same half full bottle of Advil and do not see any need in the near future to replace it. The change in my health did not come fast, and it wasn't an over night cure all type treatment that's too good to be true. Rather that little pulsating machine told my muscles what they needed to do in order for my body to heal itself, which it did... and it's lasted. I'm sold. Thank you Dr. Sean Flaherty I owe you one -Joe Littel
I am a pro MMA athlete and I started off coming to Dr. Sean in Feb. 2008 and is now the only chiropractor I will let work on me. When I first came to Dr. Sean I had constant shoulder pain to the point that I couldn't even use my arms. With all the doctors telling me I needed surgery, Dr. Sean showed me that he could help me in only a couple visits, with ChiroFit Healing. Dr. Sean is the only thing keeping my body running well enough to allow me to continue down the MMA path I have chosen. Thank you Dr. Sean for all your hard work! -Corey Devela
I have had chiropractic tratments for many years for a back injury I suffered which damaged the muscles tht hold your spine in place. Due to the muscle damage, I need ongoing treatments to keep my spine in good shape. I have lived in several states during this time and had to find a new doctor wherever I went so am very familiar with different types of chiropractic practices. When I found Sean I was so happy and relieved knowing I would get excellent help. In the past 3 years, Sean has diagnosed exactly where my problems were each time I was seen and implemented the correct technique to get me in alignment again. I whould consult Sean first with any medical problem I had knowing I would get the best advice on how to proceed. He gets my highest recommendation. Thanks Sean for always being there. -Carolyn Risdon
Dr. Sean, Thank you for your services and helping my lower back issues. I came to you with concerns of how chiropractic methods would be on my back. After having 2 major back surgeries I thought this might be a shot in the dark. After discussing with you, your technique and approach to my back issues, I felt pretty comfortable that you would be able to help. I do have to say that spending a few weeks under your care, I am now able to do the activities I was doing before my injuries. It was two months of struggling pain and in a few weeks I feel like a new person. Thanks again, In 2006 while working in my home on a Saturday morning I injured my back and was unable to move. My wife Jo Anne called Harris Training, where we work out, and talked with the owner Tyron. Tyron gave us the cell phone number of Dr. Sean M. Flaherty, B.S, D.C.. Dr. Flaherty answered our call and was able to be at my home within ten minutes of our conversation. Before Dr. Flaherty left our home I was able to get up off the floor and walk pain free! Dr. Sean is the best! I love the art jiu jitsu, but nerve problems stemming from slightly out of place disks in my back always made keeping a regular training schedule difficult. In august I took a pretty severe throw directly onto my neck, and injured myself pretty severely. I could barely turn my head because the pain in my neck was too much. After a month, the pain was still preventing me from enjoying life both on and off the mat. I began to think I might need to get surgery on my neck, if I ever wanted to truly be rid of the pain. I saw Sean, and was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a try. I was relieved after a couple of sessions, the pain was noticeably gone. Since then I have taken first in a local tournament and been able to maintain a training schedule that isn’t interrupted by the disks in my back. I feel like the adjustments and positive energy Sean provides has helped me develop a pain free active lifestyle. This stuff really works! My husband's parents recommended Dr. Flaherty because they knew that I had been suffering from frequent migraines for years. I was able to get in to meet with him on the same day that I called to make the appointment. I noticed a decrease in the severity, the frequency and the longevity of my headaches right away. As a result of visiting Dr. Flaherty the quality of my life has improved; and since I am not spending time "trying to get rid of my headache" anymore I now spend more quality time with my family and taking care of my responsibilities. -E.J. I've been seeing Dr. Sean since the beginning of January 2009. My lower back had been killing me for two weeks before I decided to pay him a visit. I had also been dealing with right shoulder blade pain for about 2 years. After my first visit I felt instant relief, especially in the shoulder blade and haven't had a problem with it since. The back only got better with every visit and it wasn't but 2 weeks before I was back training in BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu). Along with the pain relief that was received, I'm feeling healthier and more energized then ever. Dr. Sean is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone. Jeremy Walker
