Success Story for SOPHIA Patients
We strive to help our patients feel the best they can at Sophia Natural Health Center.* Here are testimonials that some of our former patients have given us that show how our treatments have improved our patients’ lives:
How has SOPHIA helped me? Let me count the ways:
The SOPHIA team has helped me with colds and flu, arthritis pain that I’ve been dealing with for 10+ years, and healing from a serious surgery. Everyone knows the misery of the common cold! For the last three years, if I got a cold, I would come in to get a “jump” on it. My colds are less severe and infrequent.
My thumbs and knees hurt so much that I couldn’t open jars and I walked with a cane. After abdominal surgery, complicated with pneumonia, I thought I would never walk again. Most days my thumbs have zero pain! My knees are healed! No long walk with a cane and I am able to walk at a brisk pace. We have stopped the pneumonia in its tracks and are now working on improving my endurance. I am optimistic that despite turning 70 years old, I will be back walking and hiking for long distances in the near future.
