Chiropractic Patient Testimonials

The Patients Say it Best!

I have had migrane headaches for the past 10-15 years. It's been consistent head pain and back twitches and pain shooting down my leg. I use a computer at work and the pain would get so bad I would often have to leave early, not to mention all the other normal activities I couldn't do because of my bad headaches.

In the past I've tried over-the-counter drugs and migrane medicine and they provided no help. I also tried going to another chiropractor, but he just made things worse.

When I first decided to make an appointment with Dr. Carrie I was scared, but she has a very gentle approach and explained everything she was doing. I love the care I get from Dr. Carrie! Now I have fewer headaches and more energy because I'm in a lot less pain. I definitely recommend Dr. Carrie to all my friends and family!

My name is Pam Kaiser and I'm a nurse who works full time on the night shift as a supervisor at a large psychiatric hospital. Needless to say, I'm on my feet a lot, and at the end of my shift my right hip was so sore I could barely walk. Four years ago, while teaching my son to skate at a roller rink, I was plowed into from behind by a teenaged speed demon. I fell on my back and my left leg was thrown above my head and bounced off the floor. My left leg was stretched - tearing blood vessels and muscles - I was on crutches for a month. A trip to the ER ruled out dislocation or breaks in my bones. I was told that in time the muscles and blood vessels would heal.

Well, three years later my right hip is STILL killing me at the end of my shift. Multiple visits to Medical Doctors and orthopedic specialists along with CAT scans and MRI's left me frustrated and defeated. I had always been very active, but not any more.

I had never been to a chiropractor simply because it had never occurred to me. On my first visit, Dr. Carrie told me that my left leg had remained somewhat stretched and my right leg was more than an inch shorter than my left leg - which explained why I had so much pain in my right hip.

After a few adjustments, I was pain free for the first time in four years. Now, with intermittent adjustments, I am able to do all the things I used to do!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Carrie! You worked a miracle in my life!

This has been my first experience with a chiropractor and, lucky for me, it's been a good experience! The beginning of the "Golden Years" has left me with more aches and pains than I can deal with. Going to a chiropractor on a regular basis has helped me "cope." I've had every test possible and everything checked and checked again. But my chiropractor experience seems to be helping the most. I like the "personal" touch here and I feel they REALLY DO CARE and REALLY DO want me to feel good again.

Thanks Dr. Carrie! You have been a BIG help!

Twice I requested treatment, one for my neck and the other for a muscle in my right hip. The next problem caused my very limited head movement to either side. After several weeks of adjustments and doing the exercises Dr. Carrie had given me to do along with the treatments, the condition was totally resolved with no use of any drugs.

The right hip problem had gotten to the point that using steps or putting on shoes was next to impossible. I had to get creative with putting on shoes. Again, after several weeks of chiropractic adjustments and exercises, the pain was gone and has not returned. No drugs were used this time either.

I sought chiropractic treatment because if I went to a regular physician, I would be given muscle relaxers which would "mask" the real problem. I wanted to be healed of the pain and limitations in a safe way. Dr. Carrie helped make my recovery happen!

I was in a terrible car accident about 2 years ago in which my car flipped and slid down the highway. Ever since, I've had awful burning and tightness in my shoulders and back. Since I've been seeing Dr. Carrie, I've had great relief from the pain. She is absolutely wonderful and her treatment has been very effective. I highly recommend her!

I came to see Dr. Carrie for severe low back pain. The back pain was bad enough, but I was also getting pain and numbness in both of my legs. I could barely move; walking, sitting and standing all hurt! I was forced to take time off from work. After about a week of suffering, I finally went to see Dr. Carrie. Following only a few treatments, I got much needed relief from my back and leg pain. It wasn't long before I was able to return to normal activity.

At first I didn't believe in chiropractic. But after going, I wish I had done it sooner. I now recommend Dr. Carrie to anyone who is suffering. My family and I are patients for life!
