I felt directed by the Good Lord!

I suffered with Fibromyalgia, which first started with numbness in my fingers in October of 2004. In April of 2005 I developed numbness in my feet and left leg. I was very weak and had no appetite. Finally I ended up in the hospital for 3 days so that they could run tests to rule out various conditions. Then condition was so bad I could hardly walk or be on my feet for any length of time. My mother had to come stay with us for 2 weeks until I could handle the household chores again. All I wanted was to return to my daily activities. My doctor had put me on Neurontin and Zoloft. I did not want to be on prescription medication for any length of time because of possible side effects.
It was around this time that three different people had gone out of their way to hand me a flyer that Corrective Chiropractic had in the newspaper. ” I felt directed by the good lord!” I had some doubts that chiropractic would help me. I thought chiropractic care only helped people with back problems. After attending the Fibromyalgia Seminar with Dr. Childs, I was very hopeful that this care would help me. The office was a very friendly and warm atmosphere and Dr. Childs and Dr. Durr were genuinely concerned for their patients and their patients’ well-being.
I have been under chiropractic care since June 2005 and my symptoms had improved a lot! With a program of adjustments, traction, exercises and nutritional supplements, I find that I only have slight numbness in my left big toe. Chiropractic care takes a proactive approach in the absence of symptoms. It keeps your body at optimal health! I encourage anyone who is suffering with similar symptoms to give it a try! I talk to everyone I come in contact with! I feel like the doctors and staff at Corrective Chiropractic really listen to you and put 100% effort in helping you to regain your health!

It is unbelievable! The pain I once felt is gone!!

For at least 8 years I had been suffering with chronic joint pain, back pain, and depression. I had been diagnosed as having Fibromyalgia, as well as, Lyme disease. The pain prohibited me from being able to walk up steps. I tried physical therapy; massage therapy, and other alternative medicines along with seeing various doctors who prescribed a variety of medications. No real results from any or these treatments!
I requested information from Corrective Chiropractic. I was anxious and feared that this too would only offer temporary relief. Dr. Childs and Dr. Durr showed much sincerity in really wanting to help people improve their health. With their suggestions of weekly visits, traction, exercises and smart nutrition I began to feel better. I found my lower back pain improving tremendously and was able to stop all my medications. My biggest gauge on this chiropractic problem was on how well my joints (especially my knees) responded. To my amazement, my joints are doing GREAT! It is unbelievable! The pain I once felt is gone!
Chiropractic certainly does have its benefits! It will continue to enhance and maintain my health!! Thank you for all that you are and all that you have done for me!!


I can play with my daughter again without pain!!!

For at least 4 years I had been suffering with severe Fibromyalgia, lower back pain and neck pain.
Fibromyalgia caused burning, throbbing pain and stiffness in my chest, lower back, upper back, shoulder and neck. On a scale on 1-10, 10 being worst, my pain ranked about an 8. The pain made it so I had trouble sleeping. Overall I was in pain and I was depressed. I cried also for both reasons. I just wanted to play with my daughter and enjoy her without constant pain slowing me down and depressing me. I tried massaging therapy, which only provided me with relief as long as the massage lasted. I also tried lots of aspirin, which only seemed to lead to acid reflux. So I switched to Tylenol and that did not help as much as I hoped it would. Exercise was the only thing that seemed to help a little. I was taking Tylenol, Aspirin and Benadryl to sleep. I found myself worrying about the side effects. It was at this time I saw my Rheumatologist and he wanted me to try the prescription medication Neurontin. That was it! I did not want to take that or any other prescribed medication.
It was then that I decided to give chiropractic a try. I had been to a chiropractor before to treat ear aches but not for this condition. I had doubts because nothing I had tried worked. I was worried about the adjustment causing me more pain. Dr. Childs, Dr Durr and their whole staff are very professional, knowledgeable and caring! The doctors took time to explain how chiropractic worked and it made sense to me. I started with a program of adjustments, specific corrective exercises, traction and some adjustments to my diet. I have had great results with this program! I now no longer have to take medications for pain or sleep. Chiropractic care helps to keep my body functioning optimally.
I am now an advocate of chiropractic and encourage others in pain to try it. It makes sense and it offers results! Thank you Corrective Chiropractic!


I have more energy, less pain and can say chiropractic is really working for me

I have been under Dr. Durr and Dr. Childs care for a little over two months. Before I went to see them was suffering from Fibromyalgia which caused pain and discomfort in my legs, arms and head. Then pain was all day every day for the last 20 years. I had been to many kinds of doctors including my general practioner, a Rheumatologist and a chiropractor. I had tried anti-inflammatory drugs, anti depressants and was sent for a sleep study. None of it ever worked. I was concerned about taking medication and when I felt like one of the medications I was taking was becoming addictive I stopped immediately.
I kept seeing the ad in the paper about Fibromyalgia and finally decided to call Corrective Chiropractic and give it a try. I was a little unsure at first because I had already been to a chiropractor and could not imagine that I would have any different results here. My concerns were immediately put to rest and I was amazed at the difference of the treatments I received at this office. The office itself was very well organized with extremely friendly and helpful staff. I was also impressed with Dr. Durr and Dr. Childs and how well they were able to communicate their suggestions to improve my health.
After two months of their recommendations, which include adjustments, traction, exercises and supplements, I have really noticed an improvement. My pain has lessened, I have more energy and can do more of the every day things that I wasn’t able to do 2 months ago. I now understand that by continuing to maintain the health of my spine I can lead a healthy life.
I have told quite a few people I know about your website and have passed along the Fibromyalgia report to others I know who suffer. I just want to tell everyone how much better I feel since starting with Corrective Chiropractic. Thank you Dr. Durr, Dr. Childs and the entire team!

My energy level is back to at least 75%

I have come to Corrective Chiropractic with a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. I was sent from one doctor to the other each adding another medicine to try and help my symptoms. I was swelling all over my body, had tingling in both hands and feet with numbness, and severe cramping throughout my body to the point I would have to sleep in a chair at night. I had always for years had pain but just chalked it up to arthritis or back pain or getting older. Then it got to the point where I was always in pain and couldn’t function at my normal capacity. I knew something was really wrong. I was sent to heart doctors, neurologists and others and tested for everything from Lyme disease to brain tumor to lupus and even ALS. Each doctor I went to give me another medicine so I was up to 8 pills a day in a matter of months but I wasn’t feeling any better. I didn’t even have the energy to get up off the sofa on many days. All tests came back negative but I was still taking all this medication and not feeling any better.
Then my sister gave me a free exam voucher at Corrective Chiropractic that said they could help Fibromyalgia patients. I’ve only been seeing Dr. Childs and Dr. Durr for a month and already see such a difference. I’ve had no cramping at all since the first day I came here and enormous. My energy level is back 75% at least. I’m almost pain free most days and I’m now down to only 2 pills a day. I no longer take heart medication because after all the tests there’s nothing wrong with my heart. I don’t take hormone replacement therapy anymore or the diuretic medicine they put me on for the swelling. I have hypothyroidism so I take a thyroid pill and one other pill for restless leg syndrome but I’m also being weaned off that. And I feel 80% better. I can now shop with my family whereas before I couldn’t walk for more than a ½ hour before I could have severe hip pain. My intimate life was gone because I was just too exhausted and in too much pain. The doctors and their staff at Corrective Chiropractic are all so nice and very supportive. For the first time in a very long time I really turned around. From 8 pills a day to 2 pills a day and from constant severe pain to being almost pain free in a month. That tells me all.
Thank you very much Dr. Childs and Dr. Durr. It’s an emotional relief to know there is help and I’ve found it here.

I have improved 90%

In 1986 at age 32, I sustained traumatic injuries to my body. Over time when my physician said I was completely healed, I remained in pain. My pain also caused me to slump over and I developed poor posture. The first few years I was put on several kinds of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. They didn’t work, then steroids. I was first diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome and was told I needed anti-depressants and psychological therapy. My joint and muscle pain and fatigue continued over the years. I was sent to a Rheumatologist who then diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. I again was given non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, steroids and anti-depressants. I was told my brain didn’t relax when I slept and that was causing my pain and fatigue. The side effects from the medicine made me feel like I was in a fog and it became even more difficult to function. A neurologist who prescribed Neutrotin and diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia also saw me. Again the medicine made me foggy and I chose not to follow her recommendations. I just learned to cope with the discomforts. I was not physically active and laid on the couch most of the time. My symptoms affected my job and I took part time work. At the same time my gynecologist felt I should be on HRT and felt maybe I was going through menopause although I had no symptoms except for having a hysterectomy also in 1986. I developed cystic breast disease a year later and was monitored for breast cancer.
In June 2002, I read an article in the Daily Local News from Dr. Childs about Fibromyalgia. His office sent me a booklet and free coupon for consult and exam with no obligation. Everything in the booklet described my symptoms and answered questions truthfully. I called and was given an appointment in 2 days. At my first visit I was extremely impressed with the knowledge I received from the physicians and staff. I was given a complete consultation, x-ray and exam and finally found out I had 5 subluxations, which could be corrected. I immediately started with adjustments, which improved my symptoms in the first week. Their office also gives valuable information about life and total health of your entire body. The staff is extremely helpful caring and knowledgeable. They also provided an exercise program to my needs; spinal care classes and educational programs.
It has been 2 months since I started my adjustments at Corrective Chiropractic and I have improved 90%. I no longer need to visit my medical doctor and have thrown away all medicines, even my HRT medicine. My cysts on my breasts have shrunk 80% in size in the last 2 months.
I am now 48 years old and have begun to look at myself as not of a middle-aged woman who expects to have aches and pains, but as a more functional, happier person whose life just begun.

Since we have been coming for our adjustments, we are not sick as often, Dana has less pain and I have more strength in my right arm

My wife and I have been suffering with many problems. I have had allergies and minor body aches for about 9 years. Dana, my wife, has been suffering with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Fibromyalgia symptoms for over six years, starting prior to having our children.
We have seen many doctors and have tried many different medications, but nothing seemed to be working. Then one day, my wife was reading the newspaper and found an article on Fibromyalgia. There was a phone number to call for more information, so, she called. That was about 6 months ago. Dana is now off her allergy medication. She is off all of the medication for her Fibromyalgia symptoms. She met with the doctor at Corrective Chiropractic for a nutritional consultation. They designed a specific diet plan and she has noticed significant results.
We have noticed that since we have been coming for our adjustments, we are not sick as often, Dana has less pain and I have more strength in my right arm. We also had our two children checked. We noticed that Drew, our oldest, stays healthy, and John recovered from Croup very quickly with no need for medication.
The atmosphere in the office is very friendly and the staff is very courteous. The doctors are educated and very knowledgeable.
Thanks!

In four short months, not only was I virtually pain free, but I was also sleeping much better

For several years, I have suffered from severe joint pain and difficulty sleeping. I repeatedly expressed my complaints to my internist. After many blood tests, I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and was prescribed several different medications. I took the meds and I still felt horrible.
In May 2002, an advertisement appeared in the Daily Local News written by Dr. Childs. The ad explained how he could help relieve pain from Fibromyalgia. How right he was! In four short months, not only was I virtually pain free, but I was also sleeping much better. I no longer had constant headaches or sinus infections. Dr. Childs and Dr. Durr helped me realize just how wonderful I can feel on a daily basis. Both the Drs. and all the staff are wonderful and have such an up-beat attitude. Thank you again for giving me my life back.
