Chiropractic Testimonials

Headaches

“Katie has always been very active in sports. She just finished up a cheerleading season and had started to run track. I noticed she no longer had breakfast, her lunch money was being returned and supper was optional. She had no appetite. Her weight soon dropped; she had no energy and mood swings were occurring. Needless to say, we were very worried.

“I thought a nutritionist might be able to help, but finding one who would not require a blood test would be a challenge. I called Dr. Dan and told him about Katie’s problem. He suggested we come in and talk to him about how chiropractic could help.

“With chiropractic adjustments reducing nerve interference, Katie’s appetite is back. She has also gained other benefits that we had not even originally addressed. Her monthly periods were very irregular and painful. Today they are much more predictable and regular and not nearly as painful. She has also not had a headache! Before she began getting chiropractic adjustments with Dr. Dan, she would have a bad headache at least every other week.”

Stomach Problems

“I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the wonderful turn around I have had with my health issues. I was so tired of all the pills and still feeling pain, fatigue and weakness in my limbs. Also, the medicines were not helping with the IBS on stomach problems.

“My body seems to be correcting itself with help from your program and treatments which seem to hold much longer than they ever had before!

“My leg pain has improved to the point that I am back to my exercise level I had last year, which had been cut in half this year. The doctors prescribed Paxol for some relief and that did not work at all. I had gotten really depressed about the leg pain because I love to walk and I was unable to do so. Today I can go a pretty good distance for me and not suffer for it.

“Correcting my body has helped to correct my mind. I’m not where I used to be before I became ill but I am so much better. Naturally, with improved health comes an improved mind. With the help of your supplements and the monitoring of these, maintenance adjustments along with some wonderful deep tissue massages from a massage therapist I am able to live a fuller life. I have bad days but I know I can pop back now.”

Chronic Ear Infections

“Ever since my son, Tyler, was 4 months old, he has suffered from ear infections in his left ear, sinus infections and a ruptured ear drum. It got to the point that if he told me that his ear hurt, I knew I had to take him to the pediatrician, and every time it was an ear infection.

“The doctors wanted to do surgery right away, but it was much too frightening to both of us. I wanted to explore all our options first. I was told by a friend to take him to a chiropractor, so I started looking for someone both my son and I were comfortable with.

“We decided on Aiken Chiropractic, since they made us feel very relaxed from the start. My son was even excited to be there! Tyler was adjusted just twice, and there have been no sinus infections and no ear infections. It has been 8 months now and Tyler has been adjusted just two more times and still no infections.”

Fewer Seizures

“Courtney has been diagnosed with Lennox Gestault Syndrome (a rare, almost incurable form of epilepsy). She’s been on every medication with no luck. Some medications are as bad as taking Demerol.

“We got sick and tired of the medication roller coaster. I heard about chiropractic care for seizures and decided to give it a try. Her seizures decreased by 80% the first two weeks and instead of 10-20 a day, she is now only having a couple seizures a month. Chiropractic has been a blessing from God and the only hope Courtney’s had in 12 years.”

ADHD

“Michael was identified with a learning disability, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder during the autumn of third grade. It was very difficult for him to pay attention throughout the school days’ activities. His behavior also suffered at this time.

“With much hesitation, I took him to the pediatrician and began treating the ADHD with Ritalin. Because this medicine made him sleepy and out of it,” we switched to Strattera, we found that even though his behavior had improved, Michael was not the same active child that he once was. It was at this time (Summer 2004), a friend introduced me to the idea of treating ADHD with chiropractic. I took him in for an initial evaluation and left feeling hopeful. At that point, we discontinued the medication and Michael began to see the chiropractor three times a week and take vitamins.

“Four months later, my son brought home his first ever perfect spelling test! Even his teachers and tutor notice that Michael’s ability to focus and concentrate has improved. We are very happy to see improvement in a safe and natural way.”

Car Accident

“Twenty plus years ago I was riding in a car that was rear-ended and received a whiplash injury. At the time I went to physical therapy for several weeks, but still had constant pain in my neck and left shoulder daily for twenty some years.

“After the second or third visit with Dr. Dan there was no pain and I haven’t felt any pain since.”

Work Injury

“I am writing to thank you for giving back the life that I lost on September 24, 2003 after falling on a wet floor at work.

“I was seen for several months by a doctor for workers comp, had several months of therapy, received two injections in my lower back, was referred to a surgeon, was given two different pain medications, two different sleeping medications and was seen twice in the emergency room. My husband and I began getting information about stair glides because I was afraid I was not going to be able to get up and down my basement steps.

“I was referred by a co-worker but being very doubtful, I delayed contacting you for several weeks when finally at the end of my rope and still very doubtful I contacted you. I am so grateful that I finally took the chance. There is no way that “thank you” is enough for what you have done and are still doing. I have been able to resume my daily life activities which include working, gardening and helping my elderly mother.

“Again, I want to thank you; not only for giving me hope but also for your kindness and true concern for my well being. My only regret is that I did not come to see you sooner and I could have had less pain and less pain medication and sleeping medication. Thanks to you I no longer need any medication.”

Stress Relief

“I initially sought chiropractic care for stress related pain. After only three appointments, my pain had begun to subside and I knew that there was so much more that I could learn and accomplish with Dr Dan.

Within one month of seeing my progress my husband began his care and I began bringing my 12-year-old daughter for treatment to maintain her well-being. I now consult with Dr. Dan on all aspects of my family’s physical and mental health.”

Improved Digestion

“Chronic problems affecting my digestive system, my chest area and my right shoulder caused me to feel discomfort almost 100% of the time. At the suggestion of a friend and a relative, I began seeing Dr. Dan along with my wife who also had several problems.

“To my astonishment, after only three adjustments, my digestive problem was gone, my breathing was back to almost normal, and I was completely free of pain. By the time I had my first progress report, I was not having any pain at all and I felt better than I had felt in over two years.

“By the time my progress report was given to me by Dr Dan, I felt better in so many ways that I am amazed. I rest better, sleep sounder and feel relaxed when I awake in the morning. We have told several of our friends about Dr Dan, and they too are finding out he is able to help them have a better daily life.”

Weight Gain

“I first met Dr. Dan when I went to a health fair at Odell Weeks. At the time, I wasn’t necessarily in any physical pain, but I was gaining weight, wasn’t sleeping well and felt fatigued all the time. I had been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome a few years ago, but was never really given any concrete ways to try to combat the symptoms.

“I had never considered chiropractic care as an option to help my situation, but after listening to Dr. Dan speak, I felt like it was the answer I was looking for. I went in for my initial evaluation and was extremely impressed with everything about his practice.

“His office assistant is always willing to go above and beyond to make visits convenient and to help with any payment questions. Dr. Dan is very knowledgeable in his field and does a great job of explaining why we are treating certain things in certain ways. Since I have started treatment with Dr. Dan, I am sleeping better, feel less fatigued and seem to handle stressful situations better. I leave every visit with a renewed sense of hope that someone cares about my situation.”

Headaches

“I resisted chiropractic care for almost 70 years. Not that I thought it was something to be avoided at all costs, but as something I didn’t really need.

“Then several years ago I began having some headaches. These headaches were very predictable, they would start in the bones in my neck, spread to my shoulder muscles and then to my head. As time went on they became more frequent and more severe.

“Well, as time went by, my headaches got worse – to the point that I would have a headache every day, and many days, I wouldn’t be able to knock it out with pain relievers and would have to take off work to put my headache to bed with a heating pad and strong pain pills.

“Finally, a couple of months ago, my wife convinced me to try chiropractic. So, I started my series of treatments about 6 weeks ago and the results have been amazing.

“I’ve only had 2 or 3 headaches since and the severity has been manageable. With results like that, I’ll continue giving chiropractic a chance, and maybe at some time in the future even recommend it to my friends!

Live and Work Without Pain

“I am a dental hygienist and my job is very stressful to my neck and upper back. When I first came to Dr. Dan, I was in a lot of pain and found it hard to get through a day of work without pain. He got me out of pain and on a program to keep me that way.

When I am in alignment my general health is better and I am comfortable working and am able to keep up with my two boys. I have been very satisfied with Dr. Dan’s care and recommend him frequently to friends and patients.”

Neck Pain

“Chiropractic care has changed my life. When I began chiropractic care, my neck pain had gotten so bad that it interfered with everything I did. I started having neck pain when I was pregnant with my first child, over 7 years ago. I didn’t have it very often, maybe every 6 months or so. Over the years, it got a lot worse. It finally got to the point where I knew that it was something that Tylenol and a heating pad (now I know heat wasn’t good!) wouldn’t fix.

“I was scheduled to have an MRI done, but couldn’t because of a prior ear surgery. Not knowing what in the world to do, my sister-in-law recommended Dr. Dan. I considered not going because the thought of getting anything adjusted made me very nervous… When Dr. Dan examined me and said that he could help, I knew that I had made the right decision.

“It has been over a year and I don’t miss any of my appointments unless I have to. I don’t just get adjustments from Dr. Dan, I also get advice on how to keep myself healthy and I’ve learned to avoid things that could trigger my neck pain.

“I can’t even put into words how much better I feel. Chiropractic care has changed my life. I can’t imagine taking caring of my two small children with the neck pain I was having before going to Dr. Dan. He has truly been a blessing.
