Testimonials

 
 


Before my first visit to Chiropractic and Wellness Care in March of 2009, my life was miserable. The chronic pain in my neck was unbearable and affected my concentration, my sleep and my disposition. After a few months of care, 3 times a week, I am delighted with the results!

I feel rejuvenated. My neck is loose once again and most importantly I feel that the new vitality has restored my zest for life!

Thanks a million to Dr. Mike!
 
After several weeks of severe back pain that radiated down the left leg and gave me many sleepless nights and the need for narcotic pain medication, which only helped slightly, my PC Dr. asked me if I would be interested in seeing Dr. Mike. At that point I would have done anything, even surgery to relieve the pain. I met with the staff and Dr. Mike McKeown DC worked out a care plan. Treatment started the same day and by treatment #2, I was able to sleep without medication and my gait was improving. Treatment #3, 4, 5 just about made me forget the awful agony I was in - The narcotic pain meds are a thing of the past. I will always be thankful to Dr. Mike and his staff for making this episode a thing of the past.
 


Dear Dr. Mike and staff,

When I “hobbled” into your office, a mere 5 months ago, I was very depressed and thought I was going to spend the rest of my life in chronic pain and unable to do all the activities I enjoyed, specifically “playing with my kids”. I was a 43 year old woman with the mind of a 23 year old living in the body of a 83 year old.

Words cannot begin to express my gratitude to you all and to how surprised what a short amount of time it took to literally get me back on my feet. I am now able to work out, play tennis, dance, run circles around my kids, and wear 3 inch heels! Never thought any of this would be possible again.

Thank you all so much. I would not hesitate for one minute to refer anyone to you.


 

I came into Dr. Mike over a month ago with tendonitis in my right elbow. I had to use a brace to play golf. I could hardly swing. Last Friday was the last time I played and I did not use the brace. I even played much better. Thanks Dr. Mike!!

 


After 1 ½ months of treatment, I find that I am walking better, and I’m able to walk longer distances without a cane.

Also I haven’t had to take any medication for almost 2 weeks.

 


For many years waking with a stiff neck. Knots and pain from my shoulders to the base of my skull or from a one sided headache were all part of my life on a regular basis. The cause may never be known – high levels of stress, not caring for my body properly secondary to the lack of exercise, dehydration, poor eating habits, smoking just a few cigarettes a day, lack of sleep or because of the daily repetitive motion required by my job. Who knows???

However, over the past 5 years. Slowly but surely, I’ve made many changes. I began with regular exercise, slowly changed my diet to include many more fruits, veggies and lots and lots of water. One of the most important and consistent changes that I did for myself were regular chiropractic visits. Chiropractic adjustments were always a part of my life, but only on a repair basis when I was in horrific pain. Dr. Mike adjusts me every 2 weeks or so and I feel strongly that this is a main contributor to how I feel today. A major and more recent success has been to quit smoking. While only a few cigarettes a day, I smoked for nearly 25 years. Last November I began running 2 miles a day, 5 days a week and on January 1, 2009 will be my 1 year anniversary and victory in “kicking” the nicotine battle. I feel really well and I haven’t had any major emergent pain episodes in some time. ( I used to average them every several months.)

Thanks to Dr. Mike, I think you’re great and largely a part of my well being. I will look forward to many more years as a happy, healthy patient that feels great.

 


I was very skeptical when I came here. I did not believe I could be helped, but overall I am able to mow my lawn, cut trees, walk 2 miles a day and get in and out of my car. All these things I had difficulty with – no need for pain meds at this point – I do look forward to coming back. I’m beginning to feel like a whole new person.

 


My name is Dominic. Back in 2006 I had injured my back with 4 herniated discs. Ever since I’m under chiropractic adjustments and its been helping stay in shape with less pain.

 


Back pain

My back was stiff and tight, but I was able to be more flexible with less pain and stiffness with heat, stim and back adjustments.

Arm/elbow pain – tendonitis

Dr. Mike loosens the scar tissue/tightness in my arm with deep pressure and I am released of the chronic pain and numbness in my arms and elbows.

 


I first came to wellness care by way of a lottery but I really did need chiropractic care just a few weeks later when I hurt my back at work. Everyone was so accommodating and took care of me instantly. I virtually came in hunched over – unable to sit or stand or lie down without immense pain. This was in late June/early July. Very quickly, I was back at the gym and almost pain free.

I still have to come 3 times a week and have to go through the neck stretch contraption in the back room but – I couldn’t think of a nicer, funnier,friendlier more warm and supportive environment to do it in!

I shall miss them when I don’t have to come anymore.

 


I was in pain for many, many years. After numerous visits with orthopedic specialists I finally gave into visiting a chiropractor. I wasn’t scared just very unfamiliar with the practice. All I could think of was bones cracking. I do not believe in taking medications for pain or back operations which was recommended by the orthopedic specialist even though they advised me that there was nothing wrong with me. Well, I had pain!

So something was wrong. The chiropractor not only took away the pain, he also cured my sinus infections. I finally felt like I was walking straight. I felt like a ton of bricks was lifted from my body. The frown was removed from my face. I felt free and light hearted. Today when I leave my doctor’s office I feel refreshed and calm and yes pain free.

My suggestion to any skeptics is don’t give up, see a chiropractor it works! I beileive in healing hands!

 

When I arrived at this office, I had recently hurt my back badly, as a culmination of years of back pain. Within a week of beginning treatment, the progress was remarkable. My discomfort decreased drastically, my mobility increased and now a month later, I feel better than I did before I was injured.
