Billy’s Story: Staying Active and Healthy with Help from Adjust NRV

A Longstanding Connection with Dr. Brooke

Like many patients at Adjust NRV, Billy and Dr. Brooke go way back. Billy first started seeing him when he was practicing at a different office many years ago. Unfortunately, during COVID and the transition to the new office, Billy wasn’t able to find another chiropractor that met his needs. He was thankful to reconnect with Dr. Brooke at his new practice in Blacksburg.

Life After the Army: Living with a Back Injury

Billy served in the U.S. Army from 1997–2003. During his service, he suffered a significant back injury and has relied on chiropractic care ever since to stay mobile and pain-free. Now married to his wife Valerie, the two are raising their son Owen while staying active with hunting, fishing, hiking, dog walks, and sports.

Weekly Chiropractic Care Makes a Big Difference

Chiropractic care plays a crucial role in Billy’s ability to stay active for his family. Today, his wife Valerie and their son Owen are also regular patients at Adjust NRV. Valerie receives routine maintenance care, and Owen benefits from specialized support to stay competitive with his baseball team.

Dr. Brooke has taught Owen proper stretching techniques, how to care for his body during the season, and how to avoid injury—setting a strong foundation for lifelong wellness.

Building Healthy Habits for the Whole Family

Reflecting on his own childhood, Billy remembers how little guidance he had on healthy eating and exercise—things that were only considered after problems occurred. Now, he’s focused on being proactive with his family’s health, emphasizing balance, proper nutrition, regular activity, and rest days when needed.

Billy shared that he’s incredibly grateful for Dr. Brooke and the entire Adjust NRV team for their care, consistency, and commitment to his family’s well-being.
