Back Pain & Chronic Headaches (anonymous)

I was having back pain, shoulder pain, trouble sleeping and pains while breathing. The treatments I received have drastically lessened the pain and discomfort. I am able to sleep a full night without waking up feeling stiff and have not had a headache since I have started. I do not have to take any pain medications before going to work. I wake up with energy and no headaches which I haven't been like that in about a year.

Laura Me. & Pregnancy

I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience at McMichael Chiropractic has been. I have been treated twice for severe lower back pain that I experienced during pregnancies. After just a few visits, my pain subsided substantially and continued to improve over the months that I received regular adjustments. Not only did my back pain improve dramatically, but the regular adjustments helped me feel better overall during my pregnancy. I did not experience as much discomfort as I did with my first two pregnancies when I did not have chiropractic care. I am also prone to catching multiple colds during the winter and seem to get sick much less and recover quicker when I am getting regular adjustments. I am primarily treated by Dr. Aaron, who is wonderful. Although I have been seen by all the doctors there and am confident in all of them. The entire staff is friendly and helpful and genuinely care about their patient's well-being.

Dwaine S. & Low Back Pain

My lower back pain made it hard to lift and move. My back feels fine and I can do normal activities. I'm sleeping better and have more energy. I can move like normal. I recommend McMichael Chiropractic.

Sharon G. & Ankle Pain/Tightness

Both ankles were tight. Felt like they jsut needed to crack. Could not walk without shoes and those had to be very supportive. Only a few pairs were comfortable. No I can go barefoot. No more stiffness. No more feeling like the ankles need to crack. Can go up & down stairs wihtout holding on and fear of falling.

I have always walked for exercise. Gave that up 3 years ago becasue of the pain. Now, not only do I walk daily but I do the steps at McKinley Monument. During dad's stay in hospital (2 wks) I used stairs (6th floor) instead of elevator. Would have never have crossed my mind to do this before because of pain.

It has bee 5-6 years since I felt this good. If I had tried this sooner I would have brought my mom so maybe she could have had some relief from her foot pain before her death.

Very Painful Lower Right Back Pain (anonymous)

Kyle & Low Back Pain

I started receiving treatment at McMichael Chiropractic in June 2009 after having extreme pain in my lower back. The first few weeks after getting treated, I noticed major improvements. I went from shooting pain in my back when I sat, to being able to sit for long periods of time without pain. I continued getting adjustments and the pain\back problems got even better. McMichael Chiropractic's doctors and staff don't just care about treating a condition, but they care about the full well being of the patient too. I always looked forward to going to their office because it was such an enjoyable experience. Fun atmosphere. Friendly staff. And great service. I find myself wishing I could go back. Not because I have pain in my back, but because I miss seeing the people there. If you're looking for chiropractic care, this is the place to go. It's such an awesome place with knowledgeable doctors who honestly care about you. What more could you ask? You won't be disappointed with McMichael Chiropractic.

Had pain in my neck - kinda like sleeping on it wrong - only the pain wasn't going away with rest. After getting a few adjustments the pain was much better. Dr. Ryan is very good about knowing that I have several small children and a job that doesn't let me get much R&R so he helps me figure out what stretches to do and whether ice or heat after activity is good for me. The staff always greets you with a smile and are genuinely eager to see you get well.

A Case of High Blood Pressure, Anxiety, Fatigue & Indigestion - Don B.

Nearing the final day of the purification program I find that I'm much calmer, more focused, blood pressure has dropped significantly (112/59 avg), abdominal bloating & gas reduced, lost my cravings for carbohydrates by the end of the 2nd week, snack only on veggies & fruit, increased stamina, less fatigue & feel better in general.
