My name is Barbie Potter. My husband Tom and I live in Manhattan, MT—the little apple, as we locals like to refer to it. We have been married for almost 40 years and have three children and eight grandkids. My husband and I are outdoor enthusiasts. I love horseback riding and running. And we both enjoy hiking, hunting, skiing, canoeing, and travel.
Unfortunately, the many years of physical activity did significant damage to my joints. I was diagnosed with degenerative osteoarthritis, where my left knee was literally bone-on-bone. I tried topical pain-relief creams and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). I even tried the TENS unit (Trans-cutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), a small battery-powered device that uses electrical currents to relieve pain. None of these methods helped.
I lived with the pain for ten years. In my younger years, I ran a marathon. I went from being a fit runner to not even being able to climb a flight of stairs without resting my knee half-way up. It was depressing to have to sit out hikes while my husband took the grandkids.
I discovered the Life Enhancement Clinics of Montana in 2020, while I was receiving chiropractic adjustments from Dr. Spence at the We Care Chiropractic Clinic in Bozeman. He told me about the incredible results people were having with the Human Umbilical Cord Tissue (HUCT) allograph injections. The patients’ testimonials were awe-inspiring. I attended his informational presentation and decided to try the procedure.
When I walked into the Bozeman clinic to receive my injection, I felt an aura of joy as everyone was excited for me. They gave me hope and the emotional support that I needed. I received only one injection in my knee. I continued with my chiropractic care and was given a nutritional and exercise program to facilitate my recovery.
After eight months, I noticed relief and even more so in the ninth and tenth month. At twelve months, I had no pain whatsoever. I felt great and was able to resume all my outdoor activities. The Life Enhancement treatment is not a band-aid or a temporary fix. It has been four years since I received my injection, and I am still doing well. Of course, I continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
I am 61 years old, and I have no intention of slowing down. My husband and I enjoy traveling, and one of our goals is to visit all the national parks in the system. This past summer, I went backpacking into the back country of Glacier National Park. That is something I would not have been able to do without the HUCT injection in my knee. In a couple of years, my daughters and I are planning to backpack 50 miles across Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park.
I am profoundly grateful to Dr. Spence Jahner and the exceptional staff at the Life Enhancement Clinics of Montana. They have given me a new lease on life. If you are experiencing joint pain and a lack of mobility, contact them. These folks genuinely care about people. You won’t be disappointed.
