SUCCESS STORIES

"I have never had any other chiropractor examine as many aspects of the back, starting with the feet, he covered everything. Dr. Bauer felt a lot of my problem was due the the fact that my feet were turned out and if I did not repair this, I would have many future problems.  He was able to move my hips which in turn realigned my feet, after which a lot of my other back problems went away.  No other chiropractor has ever helped my like Dr. Bauer."

"I never really had a desire to see a chiropractor. My massage therapist was always bringing up the subject and telling me that I could benefit from doing so, but I would just listen and never really understood what good it would do or why I even needed to consider seeing a chiropractor.

One day in December of last year I went to lift my 17 pound Lasa Apso into our car and felt something pull in my lower back.  We dropped the dog off for his haircut and decided to go to the mall to kill time until he was ready to be picked up again. When we arrived at the mall, I could barely stand up straight and it was all I could do to drag myself around from store to store. It takes a lot to stop me from enjoying a day of shopping and this was just NOT enjoyable. I finally had to just stay put in those chairs outside of the stores and when we finally got home later that afternoon, I was pretty much out of commission.

My husband kept after me that evening and the next morning, telling me that I needed to see the Chiropractor because it was obvious that I needed some kind of adjustment in my lower back. I was very hesitant about it and the whole idea kind of scared me.  I had always heard about people going to the back/neck cracker and I had no desire for anyone to "crack" my back. It sounded worse than the pain I was already in. My daughter had seen a chiropractor for her knee problem when she was a catcher for the softball team in high school and she kept telling me how great she would feel after an appointment. That still really didn't convince me that it was a good idea for me.

After more hobbling around, I finally gave in and told my husband to go ahead and make the appointment. We decided to go with Dr. Todd Bauer.  I was able to get in that same day and had a chiropractic exam. The exam showed that I had quite a few problem areas within my body.  It was not just the lower back. To address these issues we started a wellness program that required 3 appointments a week at first.  Not only was this plan made to adjust parts of my body that were not aligned correctly, it was also structured to help me maintain a wellness system for my physical and emotional health as well.  I never realized that this too was part of chiropractic therapy.  Chiropractors aren't just back & neck crackers.

This was in January 2009. The winter months are not always good for me health wise. I have asthma and I also have a low immune system due to a pituitary gland tumor that I had to have removed years ago, which included removing the entire pituitary gland along with the tumor. Needless to say, I usually get quite sick during the winter months.  I get a horrible sore throat and cold which then goes to my chest and my asthma gets so bad that I have to uses a nebulizer. This happens quite frequently during the months of November through February.

I have continued with the wellness plan that Dr. Bauer set up for me which started in January, and now we are heading into June.  I have not been sick once during this entire time.  I have not experienced any asthma attacks, nor have I had to use my nebulizer, and best of all haven't had to visit my regular physician during this time at all.  Typically, in the past, I have usually had to visit my primary doctor at least four or five times during the winter months. I really must attribute the wellness program that was provided by Dr. Bauer as the reason I have been so healthy since I started seeing him in January.  It took me awhile to connect the dots as to why I hadn't been sick.  I truly never thought that visiting the chiropractor would have any effect on my health and well-being. This was the first time in a long time that I got through the winter months without a hospital or doctor visit.  I'm feeling great and would tell anyone thinking of making a chiropractic visit for the first time to visit Dr. Bauer. For me, it's made a world of difference."  Kari C.
