Dr. Jeffrey Asks...
When I first came to the Spinal Wellness Center one week ago, I had the following health concerns: Severe and steadily worsening pain, muscle spasms, stiffness, weakness, and clumsiness throughout the left side of the body with worst symptoms focused in neck, jaw, shoulders, arm, hand/wrist, hip/pelvis, leg and foot/ankle. Every aspect of life, from walking to maintaining basic facial expressions (such as a smile) were seriously impacted.
Since receiving care at this office, I have noticed the following changes in my health: After only a few visits, pain and stiffness are already noticeably reduced. Weakness and clumsiness that had previously been chronic, intense and persistent now develop only later in the day and are becoming less severs and disabling.
While under care at this office, I have also noticed the following changes in my quality of life and/or my ability to function and perform: My life is already returning to normalcy in many ways. I can walk, drive and sit for longer periods. I am sleeping better, feeling less drained, am able to focus for longer periods without the constant interruption of intense pain and muscle spasms. I am a safer driver and cyclist since I can again turn my head to the left to check traffic when necessary. And I can smile!

Vision Changes
Patient enters office with gray peripheral vision in both eyes and double vision in one eye. He has visited 2 eye doctors and 3 neurologists/neurosurgeons. His forward head position is 20 degrees in front of his shoulder.
Visit #1: Head comes back to 1-2 degrees forward.
Visit #2: Gray peripheral vision is gone, double vision remains.
Visit #3: Double Vision is gone.
Prior chiropractic care was once a month for the last 5 years on/off with no changes in vision. ABC care is different, legally we can not say better!
Heart Palpitations and Blood Pressure Changes
05/22/2008
Female patient in her 50's enters office with BP of 170/110 and heart palpitations 3-4 times an hour. She is scheduled for an ankle surgery and has knee pain from previous surgeries. She reports not sleeping well and has a lot of stress. She receives her first ABC adjustment.
05/23/2008
Patient reports BP at 130/77 and only one heart palpitation in the last 24 hours. She has not taken her cholesterol or BP medication in 2 days. She wants to cancel her ankle surgery as she reports no pain in her ankle or in her knee. She also reports feeling very good and she slept great last night.
05/26/2008M
Patient reports no heart palpitations, blood pressure remains normal, ankle pain is gone - she is overall amazed at her results.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all you have done in the last several weeks to make me feel better. There have been so many improvements in the way I feel. I only hope I can express to you all the ways you have improved my qualities of life.
The very first symptom that went away was the sever dizziness I was experiencing. The diabetes specialist I had seen said it was definitely Vertigo. His recommendation was for me to see my family physician to get medication-I did not get medication. I would hardly move without experiencing some amount of dizziness. The dizziness was gone after the first visit to your office and has not returned.
I have suffered with migraines and headaches for years. I even have medication to take to help manage my migraines. I have had two very minor headaches since starting treatment with you. I do believe under certain amount of stress, there will be minor aches and pains. Minor is the key to my headaches as of late. At least they are no longer ruling my life. Along with headaches, I had a nagging, constant burning sensation in the back of my neck. After three adjustments the burning went away, and as not come back.
For more than two years my stomach has ruled my life. Not one day went by that I didn’t at some time feel like throwing up. More often than not, I spent the whole day feeling sick to my stomach. I have had breath stench so bad my husband teased me about peeling the paper off the walls. I went to a gastroenterologist. After months of endless testing, his conclusion was that some people have symptoms with no actual problem. That was his diagnosis for me. I have been on two stomach medications for almost one year. I am taking one-third of the prescribed medication and I have had two twinges of nausea. I have had no stomach pain and although I still don’t have an appetite most of the time, I do feel more comfortable during and after eating more than I have in more then two years. In addition to the stomach problems, I have had some very serious bowel problems. Without getting too personal, I have to note that I have so much more control over my bowels now than I have had in at least a year.
For more than six months, I was getting no more than 1-2 hours of sleep a night; and that was interrupted sleep. When I did fall asleep, I would wake up in agonizing pain, mostly in my lower back but also going into my hips and legs. I spent most nights attempting to sleep in my recliner and seldom in my bed. If I did start out in bed I would end up by 2am going into my recliner. I even resorted to taking prescribed medication in attempt to get more sleep. The medication only made me very depressed and on the verge of crying all the time; but still no sleep. Every minute of every day, I was in pain. I had gone to physical therapy twice but still the pain came back. I had just learned to live with the pain and lack of sleep. I had come to think I would always have to live this way. I am up to about five hours of solid sleep a night. I wake up with NO pain. I function all day, still no pain. I garden and still no pain. I literally have been pain free for about five days now. WHAT A RELIEF.
I had come to let all the pain I was experiencing rule my life. I was living with many discomforts and I am now ready to live life!!! I get home after a ten hour day at work, and still have energy to bake, garden, visit with friends, or just enjoy being with my family. I can’t thank you enough for first of all being sure you could make my life better; and second for helping me to feel like going on; and third for the fact that QUALITY of life does exist and it exists in my life!! May God bless you in your practice. Thank you for all you have done for me. I look forward to continued improvements in such areas as my high blood pressure, my diabetes, long term wellness, as well as weight loss.
Sincerely,
Prudi M.
I was having trouble when walking and a backache that never seemed to go away. My legs were swelling and my knees were aching. As the summer continued I was having more trouble walking, bending, stooping and getting up from a sitting position became more difficult and painful. By October my doctor prescribed painkillers and bed rest for three days to relax my back. The pain in my knees and left hip seemed unbearable. I was giving Celebrex to help with joint pain and swelling. Nothing seemed to have a lasting affect and getting more difficult to do daily living.
As November came and i could not ride or walk without pain in my lower back and legs. Sitting was uncomfortable and getting up and moving was painful. I complained to my family doctor in many visits, as I felt discouraged. Words of arthiritis in my hip and knees and could be possibly crippled in time. There were suggestion of new hips and knees that did not appeal to me at all. He suggested I find a chiropractor perhaps he may help.
The holidays were approaching not able to shop was leaving me depressed and unhappy. My granson a patient of dr. Clark having remarkable results suggested I try him.
The first few visits I felt a feeling of relief I had not had in months. I still had pain but felt good at the same time. Sometimes a feeling of confusion would sweep over me feeling so great yet hurting so intensely. I would hav days i could walk and move so freely and others I felt frozen in pain. Each visit i felt more relief from the constant pain but still could not ride without having difficulting walking afterwards. Slowly things started changing as i could ride and walk and do most things and not have constant pain. I can walk without the use of my cane a wonderful feeling of freedom.
Now free of pain I can walk, ride, get up froma sitting position and continue to move freely. Having more ability to take control of my body without the use of pills id a wonderful feeling.
With many injuries and aging my back has been a constant stress in my life. If I had known earlier of this type of treatment this deterioration may have been avoided.
What a wonderful feeling to wake up and put my feet on the floor and walk as much as I wish and not have constant pain. To be part of life able to enjoy my grandchildrn and take part in there many activities. For my husband and I to attend a movie, eat in a restaurant not worrying that I will be able to stand and walk.
Thank you Dr. Clark for giving me back a fuller life without constant pain. ~Ann C.
**As stated elsewhere, ABC™ often helps people with Multiple Sclerosis regain their lost health. Here are just some of the many wonderful stories.**
I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 14 years ago. I work hard to keep myself strong and functional through exercise and diet. I have been a patient since September 2005, and I feel that his chiropractic treatments have benefited me greatly. His approach involves a systematic “unwinding” of a once tense spine. It does require a commitment of time and a dedication to the process, but it does provide results.
I feel stronger, straighter, and more stable. My walking is surer and my balance has improved. My posture is significantly better, and I have also gained almost ˝ inch in height!
I know that my progress is a significant step in my battle with MS. ~ Christen B.
I am 58 years old and was diagnosed with Relapsing/Remitting MS in 1995. In the last three years my legs have become weaker and in July 2003, I started to use a cane to assist in walking. In November 2003 I started coming to the Spinal Wellness Center , not because of MS, but at the time I had severe back pain and I wanted treatment. At my first visit he said I would be glad that I came in to see him – not just for the back pain but because the ABC™ therapy had assisted others with MS and he felt it could also assist me. I was very skeptic at the time but agreed to start the therapy and since November 2003, I have noticed the following changes:
- First - less back pain. I have some when I first get out of bed but none during the day.
- I very seldom use a cane to walk – at the time I came in the office I was using a cane frequently for support.
- My bladder problems seem to have disappeared and I can sleep at night as I don’t get up two or three times during the night.
- I feel more positive about myself and life – I am not as depressed as I was before the ABC™ treatment.
- Before starting ABC™ therapy, all my toes on my left foot and the left side of foot was dark colored - a red/blue almost black color. At this time my big toe looks normal and the color is starting to come back in second toe.
At times I am still a bit skeptic but when I review what the ABC™ therapy has done so far in just five months, I plan to continue. ~ Eva S., age 58
I went to the Eye Doctor and my prescription for my contacts had to be changed. The reason for this change is that my vision has significantly improved and I need a weaker prescription. I asked the assistant if this happens often, and she replied “never”. Thank you ABC™
I told her I was coming here and that you guys promised to “fix me up”. She said keep going and maybe I would not need contacts anymore. My optic neuritis was eight years ago and the medical doctors told me that my eyesight would not improve anymore.~ Lisa L., nurse Age 39 (previously diagnosed and on disability with Multiple Sclerosis)
I first came here about one month ago. I have Multiple Sclerosis, and it was getting hard to walk without a cane and real hard to make it around at work. As of now, I can sleep most of the night. I do not ride the scooter at work anymore. I have a pedometer (keeps track of how far I walk) and I walk between three to five miles a day at work and at the end of the day, I don’t feel like dying anymore. I am not on any prescription meds anymore except for Chemo once every three months. I feel more alert and even doing chores around the house. I still don’t write too well, but it has only been one month. ~Greg N., age 36
When I first came to the Spinal Wellness Center , I had the following health concerns:
Since 1986 I have struggled with severe fatigue, fibromyalgia pain, cognitive dysfunction, constant headaches, allergies and chemical sensitivities. I also have osteoporosis, erosive osteoarthritis and asthma. I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and other traumas.
Since receiving care at this office, I have noticed the following changes in my health:
I’ve had six visits. Yesterday I actually walked around Target pushing a cart – for several years now, I’ve had to ride the electric carts for shopping at Target. I’m waking up before 8:00 a.m. most mornings, with mental clarity and energy – in contrast to the 10 – 12 hours of sleep I had needed until my first treatment two weeks ago. And the constant mental fog, the constant pain in my muscles and back, unrelenting for almost two decades, is 90% reduced. I was unable to be up and doing things for more than six hours a day – now I am up and going from 8:00 a.m. to 10 p.m.
While under care at this office, I have also noticed the following changes in my quality of life and/or my ability to function and perform:
This treatment is life-giving. I’d kept going for many years now on the strength of spirit since my body had worn out and could carry me no more. I have lesions on my brainstem usually seen primarily in people in their 90’s. My body was worn out by the burden of childhood trauma, prematurely aged and just burned out. This has already, quite literally, given me back my life. ~ Marcia C., minister,age 56
I have been going to various chiropractors for about twenty years, and they had treated my symptoms pretty well. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in January 2000, and started walking with a cane in August 2004. I felt that my activity level and my world were shrinking in ways I experienced as losses. When I saw what remarkable changes were happening to a friend who was in this practice, I became hopeful that it could work for me.
Since I have been coming regularly, I have noticed more energy and greater balance. Today I found myself walking two and a half blocks to my appointment instead of driving, and I felt joyous when I arrived. I was tired when I walked back to work, but was glad that I had made the effort. That seems to encapsulate my story – I’m glad that I am making the effort, and that there are people to support my growth and change along the way. There is hope, and widening vistas await me. Thank you. ~Margaret, minister, age 46
I wanted to thank you for introducing me to Advanced Biostructural Correction. (ABC™) After being diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS in Feb. 2000, I sought help from various alternative therapies. Some were/are very helpful, others just expensive with little or no improvement. This specific ABC™ chiropractic technique has proven to be most beneficial. I received adjustments 3 times weekly with immediate results. The results varied as do the symptoms but I got relief each time and this included relief of pain, improvement with my shortness of breath, vertigo and dizziness. Over time I was able to see improvements in my posture, my balance and overall well being. I did this for 6 months but then moved to NC and can’t find anyone who practices this technique. I notice the negative effects and hope to be able to continue these treatments very soon. I visited home for the holiday and thank you and Rich for fitting me in on short notice, again the results were immediate and very beneficial. Most apparent to me are the long lasting results of time invested in this treatment. I wish you and all other MS patients continued success in overcoming the challenges of this poorly understood disease. Again thank you for your help, interest and support
Best regards,
J. G.
Thank you for letting me know you received my note. I thought more about this on the drive home to NC and realized I left out some important pieces of information; at least they are to me. As you know I am a nurse and my world revolves around documentation, teaching and insurance. Your documentation is excellent! Thank you for taking that kind of time and interest each week. The thermal scan results, pictures, notes by me, you and the others involved were so beneficial and I don’t think the average patient realizes how much until they need it. Not only did my insurance cover some of my treatments, but as a patient I could follow my progress in pictures and in notes, mine and yours. This reminded me of the benefits and that I did make the right choice on the days when it was a bit painful or just a bad MS kind of day. If you also feel this is helpful, please add it. So many are held back because of insurance issues, misperceptions or misinformation, they need to know.
Best regards,
J. G., RN
Last October (2003), I heard about ABC™ at the Health and Fitness Expo. I understood and agreed with the theory about spine flexibility and signed up for a series of adjustments. Because I have MS, and knew that I have some unique problems, I looked forward to better general and spinal health. The unwinding process is gruesome. As I begin to think I should go to my primary medical Doctor, the staff and Doctors at Spinal Wellness explain what is happening and work with me to get past it. When it’s over, I feel so much better! I walk better, have less fatigue and a great deal more energy. I definitely know I’m in better condition than last year at this time.
All my Doctors (and I have quite a few!) know whom I go to and why I choose to go. I share all my progress with them. In fact, the pictures of my posture is proof positive of the changes in my body. Every physician who has a segment of my care has a photocopy of my Wellness pictures in their files! My posture and my gait have dramatically improved and my overall well-being has been kicked up a notch. Chiropractic is definitely a partner in my healthcare! ~D. Y.
At this point, I feel so much stronger and healthier than when I began treatment. When I look back at beginning treatment photos I am amazed at how “messed up” my spine was. I am no longer hunched over and forward. I feel straight and strong. My health has improved as well. I used to suffer from daily headaches and lack of energy. I now have headaches only on some lone occasions. My energy level has increased as well. Now after a day of teaching I have energy to exercise almost daily.
My experience here also changed my eating habits and outlook on life. I am much more aware of ingredients in food and have a much more positive attitude about things. These were things that needed to change. I don’t know where I would be without these changes. This experience is worth it, stick with it and you will feel better than you thought possible. ~Sheri, age 37
My name is Jamie R.; I am 20 years old and I was first diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 12. I had a 35 degree S-shaped curvature that curves to the left near my shoulders and to the right near my pelvis. My scoliosis was not immediately obvious because my spine compensates for itself by twisting one way and then back to the other.
Several of my doctors say they would like to have caught my scoliosis at a younger age while I was still growing – I was already 5'7” at age 12 and am about the same height right now. ( Michigan public schools are required to screen for scoliosis in elementary and middle school students, but I have always attended private schools that did not screen.) But, despite the doctors’ regrets, I am very glad my scoliosis was not detected until 8 th grade. I never had any back pain or trouble with the condition until after they started treating me. In middle school, I ice skated, took tap, jazz and ballet, and played the piano and saxophone without problems. When I brought up this point in a recent conversation, my orthopedic surgeon retorted that that eventually I would have had much worse back pain than I have now if he had not treated me the way he did.
So, here is what happened; I ended up seeing two orthopedic surgeons throughout 9th grade who convinced my parents and me that I needed to wear a brace. They said I was ‘fortunate’ that the curvature was not quite 40 degrees because they would have recommended corrective surgery in the form of metal screws in my spine. The thought of surgery made me leap for the brace, which I was supposed to wear for 23 hours a day for two years straight.
I wore the brace to school under my clothes but to be honest, I cheated during field hockey and at home. Wearing the brace gave me some of the worse pain I have ever experienced and I spent a lot of my time lying flat on the floor with my feet propped up on a chair. My skin was always bruised from the force of the brace. It was hot; I had limited mobility. I was miserable allover. In addition to this awful back pain, I started developing other problems in my knees and ankles that made it difficult to walk. My back pain has progressively gotten worse since I stopped wearing the brace about six years ago. However, my orthopedic surgeon still considers my case to be successful because my curvature was corrected from 35 degrees to about 29 degrees.
When I first went, I could hardly stand for more than a few minutes without shifting around in pain. In fact, sitting around was often just as uncomfortable. I have spent the last few years sitting, standing, sitting and moving back and forth because no position was comfortable for my back. Walking long distances gave me pain in my back, hips, knees, ankles… I can feel all this changing since going. He has shown me that fixing my spine is not as simple as throwing a brace on and forcing it into place. ABC™ is correcting my spinal curvature as well as the muscles in my back that have begun to degenerate from years of misuse. It’s a completely different approach to treating scoliosis than what I’ve been accustomed to.
This is the first time in a very long time that I can sit comfortably, something that should be simple for anyone. I know that I still have at least another year to go before I am ‘cured’ but I feel great with the progress we have made. And, the muscle scans Pierre has done are proof that the ABC™ method is working. It really is a shock for me to look at the scans from April compared to my most recent scans in July. I am so happy I found this practice when I did because it has taken away a lot of my pain and improved the quality of my life.
I hope my story helps you in your decision about how to treat scoliosis.
Sincerely,
Jamie
Sports injuries in my youth followed by a career in the building trades led to 41 years of back problems ranging from mild but constant discomfort to debilitating pain. Uncountable visits to many chiropractors, physical therapists and physicians over the years provided only temporary and partial relief. Recent spine surgery (discectomy) followed by months of physical therapy and exercise left me unable to lift bend or sit/stand for any length of time without back pain. I had pretty much given up hope and was mentally “gearing down” for a much less active life. I was even starting to shop around for handicapped aids like a hospital bed and reaching tools etc.
After my first visit the symptoms in my back and neck largely disappeared! To my delight and surprise my knees, which had become stiff and painful to bend all the way (from installing floors etc.) became pain free with full range of motion. I can actually squat down on my heels without my knees feeling like they’re going to explode.
Since I started treatments, I wake in the morning pain free and simply get up and “go!” for the previous several decades I required several hours to “warm up” and “work the stiffness out.” Tying my shoes was the hardest part of my day!
The information I’ve long yearned for about the mechanics of my spine and nervous system is finally being provided to me by the remarkable healers in this office.
I feel like I’m getting reacquainted with the skeleton of my younger days – like I had an overhaul. I’ve been driving my family “nuts” gushing about how good I feel and how easily I can move… and I’m just getting started!
“Go get ABC™’d”

This program has helped to totally rid myself of the excruciating pain I was in a year ago. The person I was last year would not believe at all that I could become the pain free person I am this year.~ D.R., age 62
I was born with scoliosis. It was never treated and caused many problems in my ability to function. Throughout my entire 53 years, I have never been able to lie flat on my back on a hard surface. The scoliosis caused a great deal of tension in my entire body. To work and stand in semi-comfort, I began to curl my toes for balance causing the development of large, thick callus on both great toes and myofascitis (hard sore bumps under the skin in both arches of my feet). This made walking even more difficult. For the last seven years, I slowly developed osteoarthritis in my right hip. This condition resulted in a total hip replacement. After the surgery, I had to once again learn how to walk. I went to physical therapy for several weeks with some result. I started to become depressed and decided I was just getting old at a younger age (faster than everyone else). I returned to care about twelve weeks ago and a miracle has happened. I am able to stand, walk and sit comfortably. My muscles no longer have to struggle to hold a posture. I also can lie on my back on the floor without discomfort. I walk as though I never had surgery! And, I can actually balance on the operated leg. The call us on both toes are disappearing as is the myofacitis, those painful bumps in my feet. For the first time in my life, I actually walk, stand and sit with ease. I have energy I haven’t had in years. ~Carol C., age 53
I used to have nightmares, headaches and feet/back pain when I first visited Spinal Wellness in August 2002. My nightmares and headaches are gone; I feel much less pain, I walk free of pain and I 100% happy to live the better life.~ Tamara S., age 30
Here is a TYPICAL story from one of the many chiropractors who have discovered ABC™ tm in the past few years and have switched over to using it in their practices, often times after years of using other, less effective methods: Eric Spratt, DC from Temecula , CA writing to you. Here is a great story I wanted to relay to you:
43 year old male came in to see me 3 years back while I was doing Network Spinal Analysis. Works heavy construction and had hurt himself on the job. The Work Comp doc said that he had herniated some discs in his low back and would need surgery. I treated him approximately 25 visits and had some fair improvement. (This guy was serious about getting better because he drove from Victorville , CA to see me. About 80 miles away!) He still had a substantial amount of pain and was taking 4-6 Morphine Sulphate tablets/day just to go to work!
Last year he came back to see me (still living in Victorville). He was worse than before and was up to 6-8 morphine tablets/day! I treated him using CBP [Chiropractic BioPhysics] for about 20 visits and also had some fair improvement by the time he left but still had to take the medication to get thru the day. 6 weeks ago, unannounced, this gentleman showed up at my office again. He was in the worse shape he had ever been. He was limping, antalgic posture, and had a VAS of 8-9. He was taking 10 plus Morphine Sulphate tablets/day! He was very worried that this was it and he would not be able to work and support his family.
I told him that I didn’t have the time to explain the new technique (ABC™) that I would use on him today but I would the next time he came to my office. I gave him a basic examination to see if there was anything new and then I ran the ABC™ protocol on him. I was really busy and had to get to my other patients but he told me he felt much better. His body really popped up after the protocol!
A week later, he came back to my office and told me “I haven’t had any pain since you did what you did last week!” He was absolutely amazed. I explained my understanding of ABC™ to him and again ran the protocol. He felt great.
One week later he called my office and asked to talk to me. He explained that he was still symptom free! Now his biggest problem was his Morphine addiction! I explained that my recommendation would be a detox/rehab. He said he would call me and tell me what he was going to do.
On May 15, the day after Mother’s Day, he called my office to talk to me. He had gotten out of rehab on Mother’s Day and was CLEAN AND PAIN FREE! He told me that his wife wanted to drive from Victorville to give me a hug and a kiss for helping him. He also told me that he had called HIS mother on Mother’s day to tell her the good news. The first thing she told him was that he sounded so much different not being on the medication that he had been on for 3 plus years. He told her “Happy Mother’s Day” and she responded “Happy Birthday, I now have my real son back.” This man’s whole life has been changed because of ABC™!
I wanted to write and tell you this story (just like the other docs doing ABC™, I a have a TON more great stories) and thank you for your time, effort, perseverance, and brilliance. ABC™ is great!
Thanks for reading this long winded email. See you in June! ~Eric Spratt, Temecula , CA, 5/06
In April I will celebrate my fifth year of healing from a 50-year-old injury, a broken coccyx that contributed to my severe memory loss. The Advanced Bio-Structural Corrections are continuing the profound changes taking place in my body. They include days of calmness I have never before experienced. Information is beginning to surface automatically from brain cells long dormant. My dorsal horn, at the base of my skull, is healing; in the past few weeks I have been releasing a great deal of sadness, nervousness, and anger. I also experience days of non-stop energy and my feet are warmer. ~Jemma M., age 67
PS. I’m now doing math problems in my head.
When I started I felt like a mess. With the ABC™ program, I walk out of here feeling like a million bucks. Each and every time I come, I improve more and more. I can sleep better, pay more attention in school because I have more sleep. Even my endurance in sports has improved. I come in here with neck and back pains and leave with nothing. My energy level has raised a huge amount on a good note and before I came I never thought my neck and back pains would ever stop; but everyday I feel more and more pain free. ~Josh S., age 14
When I started ABC™, I was overweight and tired all the time. I had no desire to exercise and could barely keep up with my three-year-old son, Dalton. I had never had any neck problems, only lower back. I thought I understood the unwinding process completely until I woke up the day after Christmas and couldn’t move my neck at all. I called in a panic. He calmly stated it was my lower back not my neck. I didn’t believe him. I went over to his house in extreme pain and crying. I am telling you those meningeal release are no fun when your neck hurts. As soon as he adjusted my lower back and everything moved, I was pain free in my neck and whole body. If it didn’t happen to me, I would have never believed it. Trust me when I say “with the pain, comes the fun”. I feel more alive in my body than I ever have. There is no problem with me keeping up with Dalton now.
I have managed to lose 15 pounds without all those fancy diets that I had tried in the past. I am exercising more and always want to walk.
Thank you for the opportunity to work, receive and promote ABC™. It changed my life!!! ~Bobbi Jo B., age 37
What Spinal Wellness Center has done for me could be described as a miracle. When I first came to SWC I did not even know how much I was suffering. I thought that the pain, the disfigurement and the unhappiness were permanent and normal. It wasn’t until I started getting healthy that I realized how wrong I was! After 7 ˝ years of taking antidepressants, I no longer needed them after a couple months of ABC™. I also lost 10 pounds! My personal relationships with others began becoming healthier as I became healthier. I had tried physical therapy and medical doctors to treat the pain before this, but was frustrated by their “band-aid approach” and indifferent attitudes. ABC™ chiropractic has been a life changing experience for me, and although I move away in several days. ~DFJ, female, age 24
When I hobbled into Dr. Jeff Clark’s office, I was in excruciating pain. I could barely move, never the less walk. I had been in a car accident in 2005 and went to a Chiropractor for about two months and it seemed that when I left his office I was in more pain when I came out then when I walked in. After about two months of the torment, I quit going and let my back recover without the help of therapy. Ever since the accident, my back randomly “locks up” on me and it becomes extremely hard to function in every-day life.
My family has been going to Dr. Clark for years and said that he was the “miracle worker of chiropractors” and trust me I was skeptical.
I walked into his office and, instead of the cold feeling or a waiting room, I was greeted with a smiling face and the room felt warm and welcoming. I automatically became relaxed and a sense of ease came over me as I was escorted into the back part of the office.
I was amazed that when Dr. Clark adjusted me, it did not hurt. I instantaneously felt relief! The adjustment took less than 30 minutes and when he was through, I could bend and move without pain. I felt rejuvenated! As if I had never injured my back in the first place. I was absolutely amazed at how comforting his office was and the excellence of his work. Now I know why my family calls him the “miracle worker”… because what Dr. Clark did for me was nothing short of a miracle. I never expected that fast of a recovery from that much pain.
It has now been two weeks after the adjustment and my back still feels absolutely wonderful. I will never go to any other chiropractor but Dr. Jeff Clark. He is honestly the best thing that has happened for my back.
After only 4 visits , I am feeling amazingly better than I was. I am breathing much better, my headaches are almost gone, my stomach and intestines are much better and my legs have stopped cramping all together. I am feeling like a “new” person already. I had no idea my spine was making me feel “awful” for so many years! I have a new spring to my walk. ~Sharon L., age 55
I didn’t believe I would feel this great when I signed up for adjustments. It hasn’t just helped with physical pain and discomfort, I’m doing much, much better emotionally and mentally. I deal with stress and problems much better than before; they don’t worry me as much and I don’t lie awake at night brooding over them. My reflexes are improving and I get to the ball much faster now (badminton/ squash). If anyone had told me I’d feel this good, I wouldn’t have believed it. I’m breathing better, I’m more relaxed, I’m walking with my head held high (never did that before, and ALWAYS wanted to!), I’m so much more confident and secure overall (emotionally), and I can’t wait to see what else happens. My skin is starting to clear up and my feet don’t get as cold anymore. I’m especially struck by how much better I feel emotionally – it’s really helping me with my work, and as a graduate student, that’s been really great. ~Sze Wei, age 23
…with severe stomach pain and after a dozen other doctors and specialists for 4 months, now in the short 3 weeks the stomach pain is basically gone. I am feeling very well and grateful. Although the Chinese remedy I am taking probably is the main cure for my stomach problem, the spine adjustment I am getting along with a lot of other help I got here are certainly assisting me in speedy recovery. ~Female, age 34
I had Horrible back pain and was told I had Degenerative scoliosis and it was not fixable – I would have to learn to live with it. Even beyond that I was a walking medical nightmare for the past 4 years! I was suffering from debilitating migraines, aches and pains all over my body; I was so tired all the time it felt like someone literally took my batteries out! I have been through more medical tests than a lab rat, Lupus, Lyme disease, CFS, the list goes on and on of what “they thought” I had. I was even told I was getting older – I am now 30 years old! One so-called doctor told me it was all in my head! I had almost given up when I found Spinal Wellness and visited their website. After the first week I felt great! For the first time in so long I woke up in the morning with no pain in my back. Within a couple weeks my migraines were gone! All the bottles of pain killers and migraine pills no longer needed to be open – I could close the drug store in my bathroom! I feel like I got a new body when in reality I just got back the one I used to have. I am still on the road to recovery and there are set backs but I have never gone back as far as I was before I came here. My children, Samantha and Manley, also come here as I want them to learn now to take care of their spines. I do not wish my condition on anyone. I was always a very active person and when my body no longer wanted to do anything it scared me. A month after coming I planted an evergreen in my front yard with my kids, before Spinal Wellness I would have had to have my husband or brother to do that for me. I have energy again and it is so wonderful! ~Tracy G, age 34
Spinal Wellness Success Story
Wow! What a story! My son Ben has been in and out of the hospital for the past 6 years with seizures. In April, he was admitted where Ben and I spent 11 days (11 long days).
The neurologists poked and prodded but could not find a focal point to the seizures Ben has had. When we left the hospital my son looked and felt HORRIBLE! His eyes were shallow, his skin tone looked bad and the days in the hospital left him weak. I knew I had to approach Ben’s issues from a different angle.
All I can say is WOW! Whatever happened has been amazing. Ben can walk, run and enjoy life. He has not had any seizures, he lost 8 pounds, and he no longer has those dark circles under his eyes. Two days ago Ben brought me paperwork so he can go out for football in the fall. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Last night he ran, played and laughed out in our backyard until 9pm – it’s amazing!~ Lauri D., personal trainer, martial artist, and teacher
This is what I’ve noticed since I began care here at the Spinal Wellness I can breathe easier and that’s a very important thing! I can sleep for more that 45 minutes at a time. I now have a regular sleeping schedule. My friends/co-workers can see the change in my posture. I feel my brain is finally getting the right signals. I feel more balanced as my moods aren’t as extreme. Bottom line: I feel better and I’ve only had eight visits! ~Alicen H, age 30
My name is Loretta and I want to share my experience at the Spinal Wellness Center. I saw that she was having success with her treatment to her back and feet, so I thought I would give it try. I was not sure if this was the answer for me, as this was something unknown and new to me.
I have been going to a chiropractor for years, receiving some help with the pain in my low back, neck, feet and shoulders. I was in pain and discomfort in the lower back and was experiencing some swelling. My neck and shoulders were hurting and a previous foot problem had reoccurred just days prior to my first visit to the Spinal Wellness Center (I wondered if it was due to my back). By the time I made it to my first appointment my range of motion was limited, bending and walking was difficult. I just felt bad all over.
My thought process was clearer, my range of motion was free. I could bend over with out pain and twisting my body so it would not hurt to do so.
I felt free and not heavy laden, like 150 pounds had been lifted, IN JUST ONE VISIT!!
Driving home, I felt so good, that I was almost giddy with feeling so well. I knew I needed help desperately, and found it at the Spinal Wellness Center.
No back pain, my foot was not hurting or swollen, my shoulders and neck were free of stress and tension, in just one visit. I’m just amazed!!
Side Note : Have you ever asked your self isn’t there is a better way, a way for more lasting results from your doctor. I’d like to be healed so I can feel better all the time, instead of just 1-2 days a week. Have you questioned if you could get some chiropractor help so that you would not need surgery. (With pulled muscles in your shoulder) I have wondered that many times. I believe I have found the answer... I am sooo glad that I was told about the Spinal Wellness Center.
Feeling Wonderful,
Loretta H. age 61
