What Our Members Say About Family Healthcare Chiropractic Center

Thank you for the donation for my sister and her family. When I tell people you came out and donated, they can’t believe a Doctor would take a patient so personal. It is refreshing and uplifting. Your practice is unusual, even for a chiropractor. Coming in to your office is one of the highlights of my day. You have done more for my pain and attitude than any other doctor-no matter how specialized. You have a very strong spirit and it is well supported by your sister and your beautiful wife. The fact that you adjust my children shows my faith and trust. When you suggested it on my first visit, I wasn’t ready. I am very picky about anyone who treats them. It only took a few visits for me to feel comfortable with bringing them in for care. The hardest part is getting them to understand they aren’t going because they are sick, but so they won’t be sick. Thank you again and may God continue to bless you.

I am a 36-year-old white female that has suffered with chronic low back pain, numerous herniated discs, and osteoarthritis in the hips and hip joints for over a decade. Since my early 20’s, due to related traumas in my teens, and 13 years in numerous weight bearing physical activities and the required USMC method of abdominal sit-ups greatly contributed to the continued erosion of my condition. These were activities performed regularly, daily, or weekly, to maintain top physical condition. I also have three children. During each of my three pregnancies, I experienced tremendous back pain during the final trimester. This was mainly due to the weight and pressure of the baby on my spine and hips where injuries already existed. After the first two deliveries recovery was quick, aided by a chiropractor. But, after the third pregnancy, recovery has been very slow. She is now four. I am also prone to allergy related sinus infections and bronchitis during the fall months. Two years ago, after training for and completing the Marine Corps Marathon, November 2000, I developed a severe case of bronchitis that resulted in pneumonia. I was treated with one antibiotic after another, but the months dragged on with no complete recovery. After about 8 months of this condition of fatigue, muscle aches, sheer exhaustion, my medical physicians diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. They stated that there was nothing I could do about it except to try to eat right, get exercise, and keep busy. But, there in lies the problem. I could not exercise due to too much pain and weakness. I couldn’t eat right. I was always so depleted of energy. I tried to compensate by feeding myself more fuel. All that I could do was sleep. Almost a year ago I decided to seek the assistance of a Chiropractor again. This time I was not only seeking help for my back pain that wouldn’t allow me to exercise, but also the other conditions. It has been nearly eight months now and nearly all signs of the Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are gone. I am exercising again and my weight has dropped 20 pounds because I do not have to feed the lack of energy bug anymore. Although I still have issues with my lower back pain, chiropractic at Family Healthcare Chiropractic has significantly increased my daily abilities merely because my energy is back. I have completed a Master’s Degree and once again have professional pursuits. This I couldn’t have done, if I was in the same unhealthy status as prior to coming to Family Healthcare Chiropractic.

For the last 15 years I've experienced chronic back pain, as well as other seemingly unrelated symptoms such as tingling, cold fingers, cold body, and dry throat (which was especially difficult as a voice teacher). I had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 3 years ago after undergoing a battery of tests for the above symptoms. After the tests my doctor told me my blood, hormones, EKG and stress test came out like those of a 27 year old (I was 40). I had been doing a lot of exercise for relief of the cold hands and feet with no results. I tried massage and muscle therapy and regular physical therapy with little change. Also, I took many muscle relaxants, but they did not help.

Since starting chiropractic care, most of my symptoms are gone. After my first chiropractic adjustment, I experienced relief from cold limbs, headaches, and dry throat. Also, I am sleeping much better and the aches and pains in my back and neck have disappeared. All this after just 2 weeks of chiropractic care. I am very pleased.

Back pain had been something I lived with off and on over the last five years, but began to impact me as I started to work around my new house this past summer (2001). This included installing an irrigation system, building a deck, etc. No matter how much I stretched beforehand or ensured movements were performed safely (bending at the knees), I would always have back pain in my entire back later that evening and into the next morning. I had trouble getting out of bed some mornings due to the pain. Headaches and colds were also a frequent problem. Headaches occurred more than twice a week, and I could expect to get at least three colds over the winter months.

I have been under care for over three months and haven't felt this good in a long time (years). I sleep through the night now and have undertaken some new projects at home. The latest one required me to be on my feet for about 12 hours a day over a weekend. The pain I experienced following this type of work was nonexistent. Not only on Sunday, but I also felt great on Monday. Additionally, my headaches have virtually disappeared, and I had one cold early in the season that went away in a matter of days.

I continue my care, and would recommend chiropractic adjustments to anyone.

"I have Restless Leg Syndrome and it was a pleasant discovery to find that chiropractic care solved that creepy crawling leg problem, among other things, and let me sleep through the night again."
