NO OPERATION FOR ME!
I have spinal stenosis, which is a narrowing of the spinal column that causes lower back pain along with some arthritis. I also have spondylolisthesis recently diagnosed early in 2005. This is the term for a slipped vertebrae compressing on a nerve. This added to my lower back pain, including right leg and foot pain. I have been dealing with the discomfort through pain management, epidural steroid injections, orthotics, massage, ibuprofen and chiropractic treatments. This was all done in my hometown. After moving to Oshkosh two years ago these treatments ceased and the pain worsened.

I then saw a neurosurgeon in Oshkosh. The surgeon said I needed a lumbar spinal fusion which would be done in a seven hour procedure. Recovery would take six months, sometimes as much as 18 months before fusion is complete. The surgeon told me I did not have much of a choice. That advice turned out to be wrong. I sought a second opinion and was told I did not need an invasive surgery as suggested.

I met Dr. Anderson at the Women’s Expo in the fall of 2005. I told him my tale of woe. He did a computerized spinal exam, which showed my right side from neck to lower back, it was unbalanced. He was very encouraging and seemed to know exactly what was giving me back pain. I have been receiving treatments from him ever since until January 2006. I am now on a monthly maintenance plan, which I feel is very important to maintain my road to recovery.

I can now sleep through the night. Being a fairly active senior citizen, I can resume most of the activities I enjoy doing, which improves my mental attitude. I am looking forward to summer gardening, playing with my grandchildren, golfing, hiking and more, all with less pain than before.

Thank you Dr. Anderson for helping to improve my lifestyle and to enjoy life to the fullest. Yoga, meditation, healthy eating and a positive mental attitude professed by you has influenced my life. Your friendly and professional staff are a plus to your practice. I am always greeted with a smile and genuine concern for my well being. Chiropractic is the way to go!

I FEEL LIKE A NEW PERSON THANKS TO DR. ANDERSON!
I had minor back problems for about 6-8 months. It probably started from strenuous house cleaning jobs that I do. Also stress from caring for my husband and his passing away in February. On May 30th, in the afternoon I had much pain in my back and I could barely get around. I had minor back pain in the past, but nothing that was so severe.

I had tried heat and minor exercises. My son in law then told me about Dr. Anderson.

Dr. Anderson told me I had scoliosis, arthritis and a pinched nerve. I came five days in a row then three times a week for three weeks. Each treatment relieved pain and made me feel better. Now I have no pain and can keep working and enjoying life. I feel like a new person thanks to Dr. Anderson. Try him, He’s great!

I NOW CAN BEND SIDE TO SIDE WITHOUT PAIN!
I initially hurt my back at work. I do a lot of standing to kneeling to bending. I was sitting on the floor when I tried to get up I felt a pull, a pop and pressure. I couldn’t get off the floor.

Whenever I had a sore back in the past I would head straight to the medicine cabinet then to the freezer for ice. It helped for the time being, but in the long run I knew it wouldn’t bring permanent relief.

After I hurt myself at work, I flipped though the Yellow Pages and saw a friendly face. It said “family” so I figured it would be a laid back place. Dr. Anderson took x-rays, which helped me to understand why I had a sore back all the time. He did adjustments and I had therapy. Dr. Anderson explained I had a S1 problem, 4 curves in my back, lack of curve in my upper back and my neck pointed the wrong way. All irreversible.

Throughout treatment I eventually felt relief and then immediate relief. Dr. Anderson had told me it would take 18-24 adjustments, but it didn’t take that long. I feel ”straight” in-line now! I now can bend side to side without pain and I can bend back twice as far as I could before, which helps with my line of work.

I would suggest if you’ve never been to a chiropractor — GO!! You’ll never know how good you can feel until you do!

NO MORE PAIN
My problem was my lower back, It kept going out and I had been suffering off and on for years. It started at work. I pulled two discs out, my 4th and 5th vertebra. I found out about Dr. Anderson through our new work insurance.

On my first visit, Dr. Anderson took some x-rays and treated my back with very nice treatments. Dr. Anderson told me that a few discs were out in my lower back. Dr. Anderson improved my life as my problem is gone now, I feel great and I hope it stays that way. He made me feel like a new person and no more pain.

Words of encouragement for others who have similar problems: “Get in to see Dr. Anderson, don’t wait like I did, for it will just get worse. My condition is great and I feel wonderful now. The office people care greatly, and are very friendly as well as Dr. Anderson.”

HI BRIAN—”THANKS…YOU HAVE KEPT THIS 82 YEAR OLD BODY MOVING!”
I’ve wanted to send you this note to say thanks and endorsement for some time. You have kept this 82 year old body moving. I’ve been with you since 1989 – most possibly your very first patient in Oshkosh. through the years you have taken care of my needs – lower back, middle back and neck. Also, through the years we have become friends. This has been part of that 15 years of doctor/patient association. So, Brian, thanks again!

After Though -

On my last visit in December I had pain in my right arm especially at night in bed. You gave me an adjustment in the center of my back which completely took away that pain and I haven’t had any since. These monthly adjustments prove that this maintenance really works. I feel great with this moving body because of your expertise.

THIS HAS TRULY BEEN A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.
I first met Dr. Anderson after my good friend Bonnie recommended him to me.
I had been experiencing lower back pain, difficulty in walking, and walking like off to the left side, with also a slight dragging of my left foot when I walked. I also suffered from terrible fatigue. These problems have been going on for at least 7 years or better that my back has been like this. It all started I believe from several falls off my horse.

I had previously tried back stretching, and exercise which made it worse on my back. I also had mentioned to my medical doctor about the fatigue and my backache and nothing was ever done or suggested to ease the problem.

On my first visit to Dr. Anderson he took x-rays, did an exam and then treatments starting with four times a week. I was told my problem was subluxation from stress, bending wrong, or lifting wrong, and falling, which is what happened to me.

From day one I felt better. It felt like I had walked out of a fog. I have more energy, and I can get out of bed and walk right away. I walk in a straight line now and the fatigue is gone.

My life has improved, as I also don’t drag my left leg when I walk, I can sit and read or watch TV, get up and walk without having to stretch my back out first, or bend my knees and stand up slowly before walking.

This has truly been a wonderful experience and I would recommend anyone trying this before surgery or any thing else. I felt I have my life back thanks to Dr. Anderson. I believe what he does is a gift from God. Thank you Dr. Anderson.

I CAN NO DO MY JOB WITH NO PAIN
My condition started getting worse for about a year now. I am a dental assistant and my working position is poor. I have to lean over my patients to be able to see what I’m doing in their mouths and this eventually lead to back and hip problems for me. I had not taken any steps really to improve my problem; I just complained to people so much, they got tired of telling me I should go see a chiropractor. I thought, I really have no right complaining if I’m not doing anything to remedy my situation – so I finally took action.

My sister came to see Dr. Anderson a few years ago and had success. Plus he has those crazy Star Trek commercials. You can’t go wrong with a doctor who has a sense of humor!

First we started out with a full body x-ray, which we discovered I had Phase 3 subluxation in my neck (which I didn’t have a clue!). Dr. Anderson explained to me about the Phase 3 subluxation of my neck, and that the mid section of my back needed adjustments regularly and my most painful problem was my right hip popping out of joint. Then he pinpointed my problem areas – pointing them out to me on the x-rays so we could start a program to correct my problems. At first I was totally skeptical! I wondered, how in the world can 5 minutes a day of Dr. Anderson “cracking” my hip back in place, adjusting my back and neck possibly help? To my surprise, week after week the pain was less and less. I even started sleeping better because I could actually get comfortable!

The biggest improvement since coming to the office here is that I don’t feel like I’m 80 any more! Especially in the morning, I would awake with such pain I couldn’t even lift my right leg to get it into my pants. Now I have no more pain at all.

Words of encouragement for others is — I know it seems crazy that something so simple could work, give it some time and you will start to realize all of a sudden one day, “hey, I feel pretty darn good!” The best part is that you will be taking much less pain medication. That’s a benefit. See, you could go to a regular MD – but they would put you on a muscle relaxer or pain medication and that’s not correcting the problem!!!

Before I started treatment, I felt old – too old. I’m only 33! My body felt 83. I felt like it needed to be “cracked” constantly. I was always trying to crack my back myself and it just never felt any better. My right hip hurt to sit for any length of time. My leg would get numb after a while.

Now I feel so much better! By adjusting my “problem areas” the inflammation in my joints – vertebra has lessen and with that, so has the pain. I can now do my job without pain! Not to mention sit! Thanks Dr. A!

I CAN SWING A GOLF CLUB WITHOUT ANY DISCOMFORT
The reason I finally went to get treatment was a sudden intermittent stabbing pain in the middle of my back. I had that pain for approximately 1 to 2 weeks prior to treatment. A secondary problem was persistent stiffness behind my right shoulder blade, which had occurred in April 2005.

I did nothing prior to chiropractic care for the pain in my middle back. I tried stretching and months of physical therapy for the stiffness behind my shoulder blade to try to solve the problem.

I found of Dr. Anderson, while watching his television ad one day. Really, that Star Trek ad is TERRIBLE!! After my initial exam, this included x-rays and an in-depth consultation. Dr. Anderson set me up on an aggressive treatment plan that started with daily adjustments and had them work their way down to once a month adjustments for maintenance. Dr. Anderson explained I had Level 2 degeneration in two or three areas of my lower back, mid back and neck.

Luckily, I guess my degeneration was caught early. After a couple adjustments my neck and lower back were feeling fine. My shoulder required a couple months of two or three times weekly adjustments. I was beginning to become discouraged because the large increases in comfort had slowed to minor improvements, but then one day the bruising and stiffness just went away after an adjustment.

I have been able to start working out again and can swing a golf club without discomfort. I feel like I have regained full range of motion back in my neck, shoulders and back.

My words of encouragement are to stick with it. Even if it seems your progress has slowed, or even stopped, your complete relief could just be one or two adjustments away. It took a little bit to get better, but all those adjustments have got me feeling better than I have in a long time!

I WAS ABLE TO SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT
I had lower back pain on the left side that would sometimes shoot into my butt and left leg. I don’t know how it started but I had the pain for over a year. The biggest problem was that it disturbed my sleep and I couldn’t get a good nights rest.

I had tried a different chiropractor who finally sent me to physical therapist. With no results, I tried another physical therapist, but like the first, no success. I later heard about Dr. Anderson so, I decided to give him a call.

On my first appointment Dr. Anderson did an exam and took some x-rays. The next day he explained everything about my problem very thoroughly. He told me that my spinal curves are not correct and my spine was in phase one and two of spinal decay. Then I had treatments every other day for about one month.

After about 2-3 weeks I started to sleep thru the night completely. I have made great progress. The pain does not wake me up at 3:00/4:00am like it use to. My mood has also greatly improved because I am not tired and in pain anymore.

I am thankful to Dr. Anderson. I was somewhat nervous/hesitant to try a new chiropractor, but I am so glad that I did. I am only 27 and I was in a lot of pain, I can’t imagine the pain I would have been in if I hadn’t received treatment from Dr. Anderson. I learned that it is important to slow down in life and give your spine the care it deserves. I not only feel better, but understand my spine and my health. Dr. Anderson does a great job explaining things and answering questions. Other chiropractors have you in and out of their office in 10 minutes, but Dr. Anderson takes the necessary time to make sure his patients are satisfied. I now know how important continuous Chiropractic care is!

Thank you Dr. Anderson!

ADJUSTMENTS UNDO THE CONSTANT NEGLECT
On a Friday night I was lifting ¾”, 4 x 8 sheet of plywood and strained my back. I had extreme lower back pain and was curled up in a fetal position for 2 days and unable to walk or stand upright. I was trying prescription pain killers and ibuprofen and they didn’t seem to work.

Dr. Anderson was the only chiropractor to take me in on Labor Day! He took x-rays, examined, adjusted my back and put me on an aggressive two week schedule.
Dr. Anderson told me that I had a subluxation of the lower back.

I went from a condition where I could not stand up straight or walk without help or losing my breath to now I am at a full 100% with activities and with no pain.

My life has been improved since coming to Dr. Anderson’s office where I can do all activities previous to my injury. I also have realized that I’m not as physically invincible as I previously

My words of encouragement are:
You don’t have to be in pain. Adjustments undo the constant neglect that most people have for their body. It’s impossible to have perfect posture all the time. Not to lift something heavy and keep a healthy lifestyle all the time. Dr. Anderson can keep you on a pain free schedule and allow to follow a lifestyle you feel comfortable and happy with and not bog you down with all the little details.

I’M ALMOST AS GOOD AS NEW
Before coming to see Dr. Anderson and his wonderful staff, I had fallen on the ice a couple of times and injured my lower back. I had extreme lower back pain, particularly on the right, with lower leg/toe numbness and tingling. I was kind of dealing with the pain until one morning I was bending over to feed my dog and the pain shot through me. It was so bad I could hardly move.

I had tried a physical therapist but it didn’t help at all. I heard about Dr. Anderson through a referral I got from Dr. Drew Fienhals in Redgranite, Wisconsin, so I decided to give him a call.

Dr. Anderson did x-rays and an exam, then put me on the “system” to eventually get to wellness.

After a few weeks and several adjustments, Dr. Anderson had me almost as good as new. It’s been over a year now since my injury and I feel fantastic. Thanks Dr. Anderson!!

L.S

I CAN RIDE MY HORSES AGAIN
I had sudden pain in my right lower back when lifting a bucket of water. After 2 days of taking non-prescription medication and then 4 days of prescription pain medication and having no pain relief, but to make me feel spaced out. I made a fortunate choice of calling Dr. Anderson’s office, which was covered by my insurance to be seen.

Dr. Anderson did a complete exam, x-ray’s and adjustment and within in two treatments I knew I was on the right track and getting great care.
Dr. Anderson explained to me that I mainly had alignment concerns and two bone spurs that needed to have treatment on. I describe my progress as very rapid improvement to a pain-free existence.

My life has improved for me tremendously so that now I can care for my 16 horses in the barn and even ride them. Prior to treatment I couldn’t even lift a saddle.

I am now encouraging my husband to set-up his appointment to see Dr. Anderson, since he has had back pain for years. I can’t understand why anyone puts up with pain when Dr. Anderson can help!!

DR. ANDERSON PUT NEW LIFE IN MY BODY
When I first started going to Dr. Anderson I was in great pain with my back. It started by slipping and throwing my back out. There’s just one thing I can say before I got help from Dr. Anderson is I was one miserable lady.

I tried heating pads, cold packs and even salves to help my problem and all of them were unsuccessful. I heard a lot of Dr. Anderson from his TV advertising. I picked him myself and I am so glad I did!

Dr. Anderson gave me an exam and x-rays and started my treatment. He told me I had a very bad looking back and that I had scoliosis. My treatments went well and each day and week that went by I felt better and better.

Today I feel like Dr. Anderson put a new life in my body and I can’t “Thank” him enough. I’ll be ever so grateful for meeting him and having him for a great doctor and friend, whom I’ll never forget. I can do my housework and even yard work. All these great things he has done to have me feel like a lady of 50 instead of 81!!

My words of encouragement is to just don’t give up and always have faith in your doctor. I did and see what happened to me!!!!

I HAVE A CONSTANT SMILE
I awoke on a Sunday morning in such bad pain that any movement put me up to a “10” on the pain scale. I tried my regular stretches and both ice and heat, but nothing helped.

I desperately went and looked in the Yellow Pages at work and found Dr. Anderson listed and scheduled an appointment with him. Dr. Anderson did a full exam, took x-rays and had a lot of understanding and compassion for my pain. Dr. Anderson explained that my lower back without any care would only get worse. From the second visit I could tell the difference.

By the time I was almost done with my treatment I fell going up the step and hurt my wrist. Not only did he fix my wrist in four short visits, my back didn’t get worse with the fall like it had in the past.

Dr. Anderson has restored a lot more movement and flexibility to the lower back, bringing a constant smile because I feel GREAT! And as a bonus he also improved my spirit, which I didn’t expect. Dr. Anderson explained that a healthy back also needs a healthy spirit and with the short Meditation lesson, my mind is in great shape.

You really need to give Dr. Anderson a good chance. He does things differently, but I was amazed on how well the treatment worked. I for one will be getting my tune-up every month. You won’t regret your decision.

P.K.

I TAKE WALKS UP TO THREE MILES A DAY
I had a very rapid development of stiffness and pain in the lower back with what felt like the pain of pinched nerves radiating into the thigh of my right leg with the sensation of a strained muscle and muscle spasms. I went through a period of about 5 days resting and taking anti-inflammatory over the counter medications without relief and having gone two nights without sleep.

I located Dr. Anderson by searching specifically for a Palmer Method D.C. in the Oshkosh area. At the time I first came to Dr. Anderson I was unable to sleep or remain in any one position for more than a few minutes at a time. I was experiencing severe pain in my lower back and radiating into my upper leg/thigh regions, particularly my right leg which was even having muscle spasms. I found it exceedingly difficult to walk even short distances indoors, drive a vehicle or do even the most basic daily tasks such as trying to put on shoes or stand at the sink long enough to wash the dishes.

Dr. Anderson spent some time getting a history on me and examined my functioning as to range of movement, stance, reflexes and walking motions. Along with the examination, an x-ray of the entire spinal column was taken from 2 views in a standing position with the skeletal system bearing weight. Dr. Anderson said that my x-rays exhibited signs of Phase 1 and Phase 2 spinal deterioration showing narrowing of disc spacing, calcium deposits forming roughened surfaces and bone spur development, any or all of which could irritate nerves. There were also curvatures of the spine in several places.

I began treatment a little over 3 months ago receiving 3 to 4 treatments a week and have now progressed to where I am scheduled for treatment once every two weeks. For the most part, my progress has come gradually and steadily. In the early stages of treatment it was sometimes “two steps forward and one step back”. As treatment progressed, the spinal adjustments seem to last for a longer period of time while periods of discomfort are less severe and more infrequent. My pain in the upper legs is for the most part absent.

I’m back to living a pretty much normal life. I’ve been able to return to the work place, which has me on my feet and very active physically for the entire day. I have also resumed a normal life regarding activities of various kinds and have been able to again get a good nights rest without losing sleep to pain and discomfort. I now drive my vehicle on extended trips, take brisk walks of up to 3 miles and handle my housework, none of which were possible before staring chiropractic with Dr Anderson.

Above all, have faith that your condition will improve, that you can and will feel better if you commit yourself to the suggested number and frequency of visits. Your body has a remarkable ability to heal itself given some help, but you must stick with the program and not expect an instant “fix”. You didn’t develop your problem overnight although it can seem like it just came on that way!

S.T.

YOU’LL BE AMAZED AT THE RESULTS
I have had back problems most of my life. I’ve mostly had low back pain and every once in a while upper. Then one day out of the blue I had terrible sciatica pain. I never had that before. It was pretty painful. I used some ice and just tried to lie in bed. I thought that might help it but it didn’t. I had a doctor that seemed to be able to help me, but he moved away and I had no idea what I was going to do.

One day while I was at home watching TV I saw one of Dr. Anderson’s TV commercials. I thought I would give him a try. I went in to see him and he did a full exam and took some x-rays. He put me on a treatment plan and I knew I was on my way to less pain.
After my treatment plan was over Dr. Anderson did another exam to make sure that I was doing better. He put me on what is called a “Wellness Program”. I now only come in once a month to get an adjustment. It is kind of like a tune up for your car, but it is for your back and it involves your health and wellbeing.

I can’t believe he was able to take the pain away. I can move around more and I can bend over. That was the big thing before, I couldn’t bend over. I can’t believe what he has done for me. My advice to anyone who is thinking about going to a chiropractor is to go. Do to what Dr. Anderson tells you to do and hang in there. It’s not going to happen over night, but you will be amazed at the results!

GUESS WHAT, NO PAIN
I was having lower back pain for about two weeks now. I hurt my self at work, and I’m guessing that’s what brought the pain on. I tried using ice and heat, but that didn’t seem to do much good.

One day I was on the internet, surfing around and decided to look for a chiropractor, thinking they might be able to help me. I came across Dr. Anderson’s website and decided to give him a call. I ended up making an appointment.

Dr. Anderson took x-rays and identified the problem. He explained everything to me so that I could understand it. He told me that I had sprained my back. He then set me up with a treatment plan.

As far as my progress goes, well it got better right away. I definitely noticed a difference and at the end of my treatment plan, guess what, NO PAIN! After I hurt my self I couldn’t do much. Dr. Anderson has me back to work, bending, twisting and everything else that I was able to do before I got hurt.

Go to Dr. Anderson. He is the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. He is the Bomb! And so are the girls behind the desk. THEY ARE PHENOMINAL!

T.B

MY BACK FEELS BETTER THAN EVER
I hurt my back at work. I had so much pain in my lower back that I had trouble just getting out of bed. I refused to see a doctor because I was sure he would just tell me to get bed rest and then time will heal my lower back. After two days of extreme pain I figured I had to do something.

My sister in-law suggested Dr. Anderson. I decided to go in and see him. I couldn’t stand the pain anymore, something had to be done. After Dr. Anderson took some x-rays, did an exam and made a diagnosis, he adjusted me. The relief was immediate. I will never forget my first adjustment. I got so much relief and I had such a buzz from my adjustment that I went thru a red light and almost got in a car accident which would have been bad. But the point is, I felt great!

Since then, I started to go in for my monthly chiropractic maintenance. My back feels better than ever.

R.H.

I FEEL “STRAIGHT” IN-LINE NOW
I initially hurt my back at work. I do a lot of standing to kneeling to bending. I was sitting on the floor and when I tried to get up I felt a pull, a pop and pressure. I couldn’t get off the floor.

After I hurt myself a work, I flipped through the yellow pages and saw a friendly face. It said “family” so I figured it would be a laid back place. Dr. Anderson took x-rays, which helped me to understand why I had a sore back all the time. He did adjustments and I had therapy. Dr. Anderson explained I had a sacroilliac problem, lack of curve in my upper back and my neck pointed the wrong way. All irreversible.

Throughout treatment I eventually felt relief and immediate relief. Dr. Anderson had told me it would take 18 to 24 adjustments, but it didn’t take that long and he released me from care before that. I feel “straight” in-line now! I now can bend side to side without pain and I can bend back twice as far as I could before, which helps with my line of work.

I would suggest if you’ve never been to a Chiropractor–GO!! You’ll never know how good you can feel until you do!

GET CHIROPRACTIC CARE INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE MD
I have had a bad back since I was in High School and I started with chiropractors in my mid twenties off and on. Last summer I became very ill with shingles and I felt like I could hardly breathe. I had gone in to see a medical doctor for my breathing. They thought that I had asthma, so they prescribed me some medicine which didn’t help at all. I then had some pulmonary testing done which showed that I did not have asthma. I was feeling tired and week also, so they ran some blood work as well. Nothing seemed to work, I still didn’t feel any better.

One day I was talking with a friend from church. She told me that I should go see a chiropractor, Dr. Anderson, so I did. My first appointment he took e-rays of my spine, did an examination and I got adjusted. I went in and got adjusted every day for a week and then every other day until my treatment plan was finished.
I was amazed; right away I started feeling better. My breathing problem was much more tolerant but it was a long process for me to feel what I knew to be normal. Along the way I also started going to the yoga class and walking on a regular basis. This, along with my adjustments has been so beneficial. I feel 100% better! I can do what I did in the past plus. It use to be that in the summer, when it became hot and humid, I had to stay in air conditioning because it felt like I couldn’t breath right. Now I am able to be outside when it is hot and humid and enjoy life once again.
My advice for anyone is if you suffer from back problems and feel like you can’t breath right, get chiropractic care instead of going to the medical doctors because you will only be put on medicine and have high bills to pay. I think that people don’t know or realize how many things chiropractic care can help with. Try it out and you won’t be sorry, I know I wasn’t!

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU DR. ANDERSON
I had been suffering with lower back pain at work for about 4 or 5 days. I was taking pain pills, but they didn’t do anything to fix my back. I had never experienced not being able to sit or stand for even short periods of time. It even bothered me to drive my Jeep. Right when the pain in my back got to be too much, I knew right where to go.

Dr. Anderson had helped me before. I started to come in and see him, but as soon as I started to feel ok, I stopped. I knew that I shouldn’t have stopped coming in, but I did, and that was a mistake. This time I went and stuck to my treatment plan. He adjusted my back and he did therapy on me.

The progress didn’t take long at all. My results kept getting better every day. Now, my back feels great and I’m not in pain anymore. I can go back to work, sit, stand, walk, I’m finally getting a good night’s sleep and I can play with my son again. Well, I’m less stressful therefore I’m happier, and now I can walk my dog.

I want to say thank you Dr. Anderson for all you did to heal me and to your wonderful staff for making my time there a great experience. I will definitely tell other people to go see Dr. Anderson because I know that I’ll be there.

Go get the help you need and try Dr. Anderson. Even though some people might think it is a waste of time, I know it’s not and once you go, you’ll know that it’s not either!

I FEEL 110% BETTER
I was suffering with lower back pain and shooting pains down the right leg, in which, the leg would collapse when I tried to walk. Sometimes the pain would be so bad that it would feel like someone was stabbing me with a hot knife. I tried pain medication, stretching and just trying to walk it off, but none of these seemed to work much. I got tired of trying to deal with it on my own and came to see Dr Anderson, by referral from my daughter, who worked for Dr. Anderson.

Dr. Anderson explained what was going on and put me on the route to recovery. I have a bulging disc in the lower back, which was pinching the sciatic nerve. I waited too long for treatment, which was my mistake. It was an up hill climb, but we accomplished it.

I feel 110% better than I felt 5 months ago. I can now walk and move with no pain or discomfort.

My words to you are don’t wait like I did. You can’t fix yourself—you need to get your body realigned!

L.C.

I NOW KNOW THE BENEFITS OF BEING 100%
I had pain in my lower back. It was so bad that after about 5 hours of standing I would walk bent over because it hurt to walk straight up. It’s been going on for at least three years. I finally hit a point where I couldn’t take the pain anymore. I hadn’t done anything to help myself except for using a heating pad or Ibuprofen. I saw Dr. Anderson’s commercial in the past so I decided to give him a call.

The first day I came in he gave me an exam, x-rays and an adjustment. I was nervous and skeptical. I found out that I had 3 different problem areas, which was a surprise because I only came in with lower back pain. Even more to my surprise, he could see that I was in a car accident from my x-ray and at age 38 I found out that I had scoliosis. I would never have known because my regular doctor doesn’t check that.

I use to have pain when I was cleaning or working in the garden, now it is very slight to none. I am a stay-at-home mom, which entails a lot of on the go and on my feet half the day. I no longer feel if I’m on my feet all day that I’ll be paying for it later. Also, when I’m backing up my car I can make a full turn with my neck to see all angles.

I will continue monthly treatment because I now know the benefits of being 100%. I don’t tell my kids, mom has to go lie down and rest her back. I can keep going! I have a lot of faith in Dr. Anderson & chiropractics. I never knew what positive, healthful results would come of it.

K.S.

I’M A BELIVER IN CHIROPRACTIC CARE
I slipped on ice while shoveling my driveway. The next day I had extreme pain in my lower back. I tried sleeping on the floor and stretching my back thinking it was just muscle pain.

I looked in the Yellow Pages and found Dr. Anderson. When I came in I needed help walking and my pain was so severe I wanted to go to the hospital. Dr. Anderson gave me an exam, took x-rays and adjusted my lower back followed with Interferential Therapy. Dr. Anderson explained that I had nerves that were pinched in my spine and informed me that he could re-align my spine.

Since the pain was so bad I was also ordered to take time off work. After my third adjustment my pain was nearly gone and I went back to work. I went from zero mobility to normal functions after my eighth visit.

Yes, my life has improved by living pain free and walking pain free. I still can’t believe the difference and now I’m a believer in Chiropractic Care and would recommend it to anyone with back pain.

My words of encouragement to others is don’t think chiropractors can’t treat your problems and don’t believe they aren’t doctors. They certainly healed me!!

EVEN IF YOUR NOT IN PAIN, DO IT ANYWAYS!
My pain had started after I had been lifting weights. I had a pain on the right side of my lower back. I tried to do some stretching to see if that would help and I also started getting massages to try to leave the pain as well. Nothing seemed to be working so I turned to the phone book. I saw Dr. Anderson’s ad and decided to give him a call.

On my first appointment Dr. Anderson did a full exam, x-rays and then scheduled me for daily sessions. He had told me that my lower back pain was caused from spinal misalignment. My progress has been great. Dr. Anderson made my back pain go away and my whole body is pain free.

After coming to see Dr. Anderson I feel as if my body is more in tune with my mind. I can now bend and move way better than I could before seeing Dr. Anderson.

What I have learned and words of encouragement: Even if you are not in pain, do it anyways! I’m glad that I did!
T.S.

I AM NOW PAIN FREE
I was at home and I bent over the wrong way and I heard something crack. It was my lower back. It hurt for days before I decided to go see Dr. Anderson. I had tried using heat and ice to relieve the pain and stiffness, but it only helped temporarily.

I found Dr. Anderson in my insurance manual and then I looked him up in the Yellow Pages. I decided to give him a call. On my first appointment he shot x-rays and described what was wrong with me. Then he cracked my back and neck a few times to relieve pressure. He told me that my spine was out of alignment and we needed to straighten it out.

After each session my pain and stiffness slowly got better. I am now pain free! I can now walk standing straight up instead of being hunched over. My words of encouragement are if you have any problems with you back or neck, Dr. Anderson is definitely the one to see!!

MY LIFE HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL
One day I started getting middle back pain. I didn’t know exactly what I had done to cause the pain, but it was there. I had the pain for about a week or so. I tried just resting to see if that would help and then I did some stretching but that didn’t really help any. I’ve seen Dr. Anderson in the past so I decided to give him a call.

When I went in for my appointment he did a full exam, some new x-rays and then he adjusted my back. He put me on a treatment program and progress was slowly achieved and the pain was relieved.

After seeing Dr. Anderson my life has returned to normal, but I’ll never be able to be the star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. Don’t be afraid to try alternate methods of treatment. Chiropractic helped me and it can help you too!

D.S.

THE PROGRESS WAS SLOW, BUT WITH TIME, THE PAIN WENT AWAY!
I want to thank Dr. Anderson for explaining my health problems and setting a goal with me for improvement. I had been to a chiropractic office before and had no idea why they adjusted certain parts but not others. Or how the body needs to work together to improve your health so much.

My condition was back aches, shoulder pain and burning in my upper back area. The pain was so bad some days that I didn’t want to do anything. I had been suffering for many months if not almost a full year. I work in a factory and do the same thing over and over all day long. I also look down a lot which caused a lot of neck pain and headaches.

I had gone to my family doctor and he put me on muscle relaxers. They worked for a while but they even stopped helping. I did some out patient therapy but that only lasted for a while. I was looking in the phone book one day for someone close to home and I came across Dr. Anderson.

On my first appointment I had full exam and x-rays. Dr. Anderson told me that I had curves in my spine, weak areas in the spine and bone spurs starting. I had appointments every day for a while to try and teach the spine to stay in its place. The appointments decreased as I got better. I had electric therapy which really helped.

The progress was slow to start with at first and I didn’t think it was getting better but with lots of time the pain went away. I don’t live with backaches or burning in my upper back anymore. Best of all, my headaches are gone too! I can finally sleep all night without being up 5 times to find a comfortable spots. Also, I enjoy playing darts each week and now I can play all night without the pain.

Don’t give up, there is help out there. The problem took a long time coming on and a long time to get better. It was slow, but progress was there each week.

V.P.

I LIVE A MORE ENRICHED LIFE NOW! My neck and back had been in severe pain prior to the time I came to Dr. Anderson. I couldn’t even lean forward to get out of bed without feeling extreme discomfort. I tried using heat wraps, which I found out wasn’t beneficial, but actually unconstructive. Having people walk on my back didn’t seem to work either.
A friend of mine saw how much pain I was in and I just started going through the phonebook. I called Dr. Anderson and made an appointment.
After an examination and x-rays, we began a treatment program specified towards my needs. Dr. Anderson told me that basically, my spine was curved where it was suppose to be straight and straight where it was supposed to be curved.
Since treatment began I have noticed improved flexibility and very little pain if any throughout the course of an average day. It’s the little things that you notice improvements on during the course of a day that enable me to live a more enriched life. For me it was just getting out of bed without pain.
My advice to others is trust the doctor and stick with your treatment plan! DM  I STARTED FEELING BETTER RIGHT AWAY! My back had been bothering me for a little while. I was using ice and heat, but it wasn’t working. I had a chiropractor that I use to go to, but he moved to Colorado. I had no idea which Chiropractor I was going to go see, but I had to go see someone. I found out that my old doctor, Dr. Feinhals had done work with Dr. Anderson so I decided to go see him.
My first appointment was an hour long. Dr. Anderson had taken some x-rays, did and exam and then adjusted my back. On my second appointment he went over my exam and x-rays with me. He told me and showed me that I have curvature of the spine.
I started feeling better right away. His adjustments helped me a lot. I can sit and walk more comfortably than I did before. For anyone who is thinking about going to a chiropractor, or anyone who is in pain, go try a chiropractor, go to Dr. Anderson. You’ll feel great and be able to move like you did when you were younger! RS  DON’T BE AFRAID TO TRY CHIROPRACTIC! One day I started getting middle back pain.

I CAN EVEN TOUCH MY TOES! It all started when I fell on the ice at work on a Friday. I went and saw the doctor on Monday. I wasn’t even able to rollover in bed or get out of the bed or the chair without any help.
The doctor prescribed me pain medication and sent me back to work the next day. I ended up with numb feet.
I happen to be watching TV and saw a commercial of Dr. Anderson’s and decided to call and make an appointment. Dr. Anderson took x-rays, gave me an exam, adjustment and interferential therapy. It was like an instant relief!
Dr. Anderson explained to me that I had nerve interference that was causing my problem and that I needed to follow a plan of treatment for it to get better. I started with daily adjustments and therapy and then 3 times a week. I had instant relief over a month’s time. Now I feel better then I did before I hurt myself.
My life has improved with feeling better on a daily basis and now I can even touch my toes! My words of encouragement are to see Dr. Anderson first!!

I GOT SO MUCH RELIEF I WENT THRU A RED LIGHT! I hurt my back at work. I had so much pain in my lower back that I had trouble just getting out of bed. I refused to see a doctor because I was sure he would just tell me to get bed rest and then time will heal my lower back. After two days of extreme pain I figured I had to do something.   My sister in-law suggested Dr. Anderson. I decided to go in and see him. I couldn’t stand the pain anymore, something had to be done. After Dr. Anderson took some x-rays, did an exam and made a diagnosis, he adjusted me. The relief was immediate. I will never forget my first adjustment. I got so much relief and I had such a buzz from my adjustment that I went thru a red light and almost got in a car accident which would have been bad. But the point is, I felt great!
Since then, I started to go in for my monthly chiropractic maintenance. My back feels better than ever.
RHJR  I READ THE “DON’T QUIT “POSTER When I came to Dr. Anderson I had been suffering for over a year. My mid-back was constantly sore with muscle spasms and my ribs would “pop”. My low back was also always sore and the muscles on the right side were always very tight. My low back would “clunk” around and I was afraid I would never be the same.
Dr. Anderson gave me an exam, took x-rays, and adjusted me on the first visit. During the beginning few weeks of my treatments there were times when I had “bad days” and was ready to give up on the treatment plan Dr. Anderson had set for me. During Week four or five I was in waiting room three and read the “Don’t Quit” poster. It gave me great encouragement and resolve to stay on course. Thank God, because to date, after 20 treatments I feel Amazing!
My words of encouragement for other patients; stay on course and follow Dr. Anderson’s treatment plan to get the positive results you deserve.

Neck Pain Testimonials

ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN A GREAT RELIEF FOR MY HEADACHES
I first met Dr. Brian Anderson at the Health Wellness Fair held at the Oshkosh Convention Center in 2003. I was impressed with Dr. Anderson’s friendly and eagerness to answer questions pertaining especially to us “older seniors”.

I woke up with a headache and tension one morning about a year ago. I had about five major tests with medical doctors to be sure that I wasn’t having a stroke.

As a result, I have been having a series of adjustments during the month of May for relief of headaches, nervous tension and lower back pain. Dr. Anderson told me I have subluxations and arthritis.

I wanted a general good command of body movement…I’m well on my way! I hope to continue on a periodic basic program of comfort and wellness! Seeing Dr. Anderson has greatly relieved my back pain, giving me better movement and mobility in my life. Adjustments have been a great relief for my headaches as well.

I highly recommend Anderson Family Chiropractic Service for a return to a better life…It’s “the way to go!” Words of encouragement – “Don’t put it off – the older you get, the more of a problem you’ll have. “

I DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT MY HEADACHES ANYMORE
If you’re like me you know what it is like to suffer from upper and lower back pain along with severe headaches. I took over the counter medications, sometimes up to three times a day. I would get a massage every 6-12 months for some relief as well. As you could guess, my pain never went away. I thought this is how people live, in pain. Well, I learned from going to see Dr. Anderson that no one should have to live in pain, there is help.

I met Dr. Anderson at the Women’s Expo. He was doing free spinal screenings. With the pain that I had been living with I thought what the heck. He had asked me what my problems were and I told him about my back and headaches etc. He told me that I should go in to see him, because he could help.

On my first appointment he did an exam, took x-rays of my whole spine and then gave me my first adjustment. I was amazed! It was almost instant. The adjustment had gotten rid of my lower back pain. He had put me on a treatment plan that lasted about 3 months. Now I am on the wellness plan. I come in once a month for an adjustment to make sure everything is where it should be. My shoulder and back pain are gone. My headaches are very minimal and I don’t have to take headache meds hardly at all.

My fiancé is as excited as I am. Because of Dr. Anderson, he doesn’t have to hear me complain about my pain and headaches anymore. You can’t be afraid to ask for help. I’m so glad that I did. I learned that you don’t have to live with pain, do something about it, go see Dr. Anderson so you can start enjoying your life again, enjoying a pain free life again!

MY HEADACHES ARE GONE
I was getting nagging headaches almost daily. I was at a point where I thought I was going to be “blessed” with them until I mentioned them to Dr. Anderson. He worked his “magic” and they were gone.

I had been suffering for the past 10 years with back pain. I tried taking medication that was prescribed to me by my doctor to no avail and it didn’t seem to solve my back pain.

I then heard a radio advertisement of Dr. Anderson’s and made an appointment to see him. Through treatment of spinal adjustments my back feels better and my headaches are gone.

I recommend that you see Dr. Anderson for treatment, especially for back pain!

NOW I CAN CONCENTRATE ON THE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE
I had been experiencing daily headaches and a sore neck for several months. I had a neck injury when I was a teenager, and Dr. Anderson thought it may have started with that.

Previously I tried a Therapistselect Kneading Massager and daily doses of Ibuprofen to try and resolve my problem, without much help. I found Dr. Anderson in my insurance carrier’s list of preferred providers and he was the first on the list.

Dr. Anderson started out with an exam and took some x-rays on my first visit. This was followed by numerous adjustments several times a week. He kept encouraging me that I would feel better soon. Dr. Anderson told me that the vertebra were pinching a nerve in my neck and showed me on the x-rays exactly where this was happening.

I saw Dr. Anderson for two months and the pain is now gone. I see him now once a month for maintenance. It was hard to function on a day-to-day basis with constant headaches and I am now able to concentrate on the important things in life. I thought my headaches were caused by tension at work, but Dr. Anderson proved that wrong. Unfortunately, Dr. Anderson wasn’t able to take away the stress at work! I also encouraged my wife to see Dr. Anderson for a tailbone problem she was having. With both her and I feeling better, life is so much better!

Words of encouragement for others – “Even if you have a problem that you don’t think a chiropractor can help, see Dr. Anderson, you would be amazed at the problems that can be cured with good chiropractic care.”

I CAN DO THINGS THAT I COULDN’T BEFORE
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Anderson’s since 1996, when I had been involved in a car accident and had whiplash. Dr. Anderson gave me regular adjustments. I came to see Dr. Anderson last year for my blinding migraines after an acquaintance, who happens to be a chiropractor, told me that chiropractic could help migraine trouble.

My migraine headaches had started for no apparent reason. I first went to my medical doctor, who told me I had suffered a small stroke and referred me to a neurologist. All in all, I had 4 or 5 major tests, and their last prescription was for pills and self-administered shots. None of this helped.

Dr. Anderson told me that my headaches were related to whiplash I’d suffered five to six years ago. I had a nasty subluxation. After three adjustments, my headaches disappeared and I haven’t had a migraine since.

I have also been treated for knee pain. My knees have given me trouble since high school. All the doctors I had seen for this problem told me “it’s in your head. Nothing is wrong.” Dr. Anderson really listened to what I told him about my knee pain. A few adjustments later, I could walk without pain!

When my wrists started to hurt, my medical doctor’s solution was carpal tunnel surgery and I wanted to avoid that at all cost! I went straight to Dr. Anderson. He started adjusting both hands, but there’s been significant improvement and he only needs to adjust one now.

Now that I don’t have migraines, my days aren’t wasted while I suffer at home. I can be more active. With my wrists feeling better, I can do many things I couldn’t before – and work is so much easier, since I do a lot of handwriting!

Chiropractic may not be traditional, but trust in it. Dr. Anderson knows what he’s doing. He treats the whole person, not just the spinal bones. I believe in chiropractic. Thank you, Dr. Anderson!!

S.H.
I’M IN AN OVERALL BETTER MOOD
I first found out about Dr. Anderson when my husband became a patient. I had severe headaches for about ten years. When I was in high school, I was in a car accident and hurt my neck. I had tried taking over the counter headache medicine and simply sleeping when the migraines got bad, but with not much help.

When I first came in to see Dr. Anderson, I attended his Headache Clinic. Once I started treatment, he took x-rays and did an exam. He told me I had Type 2 spinal degeneration and bone spurs on my neck and back.

I started with three adjustments a week, and that has lowered to two adjustments a week. Now I don’t come home from work every night stressed out from a headache! I’m more relaxed because there isn’t any pain – I also find I’m in a better mood overall, have more energy, and sleep better.

If you have a problem, chiropractic can help – talk to people who have been to one to see how they have been helped. Pills and drugs are not always the answer to pain – they may mask it but the problem doesn’t go away. Chiropractic makes the pain go away! Don’t wait!

T.P.

I CAN PLAY WITH MY KIDS
I have been suffering with chronic headaches, lower back, and neck pain for close to five years. Over the years I have tried physical therapy, medications such as muscle relaxers and Ibuprofen, and I started exercising more to see if that would help, but it didn’t.

While we were at the Kids Expo this year we saw Dr. Anderson’s booth. He was doing free spinal screenings for the children and their parents. I thought after all I have tried I should go talk to him and have him check me out. Well, I did and I ended up making an appointment to see him.

On my first appointment he did an exam, shot some x-rays and adjusted me. He put me on a treatment plan that consisted of several appointments. On the second visit we did what he calls a report of findings. This is where he goes over everything that happened at the first appointment, such as going over my x-rays to see what my spine looks like and where the trouble spots are, answering questions that I may have.

It took me quite a few visits, but after the first few it was amazing. My pain was going away. I didn’t need to take pain medications anymore. Now I can go play with my kids, exercise, and just do more now that I am not in pain. I am even starting to loose weight. I feel great and best of all I am happy.

Dr. Anderson is wonderful and he can get you through just about anything. Keep going even through the pain, it will get better.

I CAN EAT JELLY BEANS AGAIN
I heard about Dr. Anderson during a wellness fair through my employer. I was excited to be able to see someone about my back. I have had problems with my back for years, along with many headaches. I knew that seeing a chiropractor would help my back, but I didn’t realize it would help with my headaches as well.
I started seeing Dr. Anderson several times a week. I could see differences and I couldn’t believe how much stress my back had been under. I noticed that when Dr. Anderson was working on my back, that my back was kind of like an onion. Once he pulled one layer of pain off another one developed. He kept on pulling layers off until now, when my back is on a high road to recovery.
Recently, at one of my appointments with Dr. Anderson, I was explaining to him how I have problems with my jaw hurting me. I could never eat anything too chewy or my jaw would start to hurt. Dr. Anderson told me that he can adjust my jaw also. Well, after he adjusted my jaw a few times I can enjoy jelly beans again!
Dr. Anderson has helped me see that there is hope for my back and neck pain. Everyone at Anderson Chiropractic is very dedicated to making sure that their clients are well taken care of.
Thank you, Anderson Chiropractic for remaining confident that I can have a healthy back.

MY LIFE HAS IMPROVED
Before coming to Dr. Anderson’s I had a stiff neck and could barely move it and I also had a sore back. My back hurt for quite a while and my neck about a week. I noticed my neck when I was playing football with my son. My back was sore for a long time.

Previous I tried sleeping on a different mattress and some muscle rub. It all helped a little bit, but not totally.

I found out about Dr. Anderson through my wife who went to him years ago when she had a neck problem. When I first came to see Dr. Anderson he took x-rays of me first and an examination. Dr. Anderson explained to me that my spine was misaligned and that through his treatment plan he could help me. He then did several neck and back adjustments, but after a few adjustments I started getting my mobility back.

Today I feel really good since I have been getting adjustments. Not only did my neck get better but it also helped my back too. My life has improved by being able to move around freely without getting sore. I stand all day at work and I use to get a really sore back, but now it doesn’t happen anymore.

My words to others would be to stick with it because in the end you will be glad you did. Dr. Anderson really helped me!

C.E.

WILL I CONTINUE CHIROPACTIC CARE? ABSOLUTELY!
The purpose of my visit to Anderson Chiropractic Wellness Center was periodic pain in my left eye, followed by headache (left side), for about three months. Aside from that I was pain free and felt good. I see my eye doctor routinely and made him aware of the eye pain ten months ago, only to learn nothing is changing in the eyes, all is well. As the pain increased with more frequency in the last couple months, I decided it was time for some ‘adjustments’, since I had previously come to know the overall health and wellness benefits of chiropractic care; however, I had forgotten the benefits of ‘on-going’ chiropractic care.

I learned about Anderson Chiropractic Wellness Center about seven months ago when walking to Anchor Bank to do my banking. Encountering an acquaintance, I inquired “What are you doing here?” “I go to a chiropractor in the building” was her response. In this hour, when I wanted to get under chiropractic care, I called the acquaintance, who recommended Dr. Anderson to me.

My first visit to the office was Friday, October 12, 2007, preceded by three days of eye pain and headache. That day, seeing my x-rays – the lateral curvature of my spine, bone spurs, degenerative arthritis, stuck joints, etc, etc. made me aware that it was only by the Grace of God the He delivered me from a life of pain, apart from the eye. Ever since the spinal adjustments done on my first visit and now numerous adjustments and interferential electro-therapy later, I have mercifully been delivered from eye pain and headaches.

Will I continue chiropractic care? Absolutely. I thought I had been taking pretty good care of the body God gave me through supplements, exercise, healthy diet etc.; however, I had forgotten to care for the framework of the body which was created to support and protect the spinal cord, allowing it to do its work properly. While I thought I, basically, felt good, I have learned through chiropractic care that physical and mental health and wellbeing can only improve. Nothing is perfect, but it can get a whole lot better. Don’t overlook or dismiss chiropractic care as a means of God’s healing.

I KNEW MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED
When I was a little girl I was hit by a car when I was riding my bike. Ever since then I have experienced horrible migraines almost everyday. As I got older, my back hurt me more and more often until it was quite hard for me to do the simplest tasks. I saw what Dr. Anderson had done for my son and knew he could help me too!

After the first visit, I knew my prayers were answered. The night of my first treatment was the first night I didn’t have a migraine in ages. As my treatments progressed I had less and less pain and more energy to get down on the floor and play with son. That is the best gift anyone could have given me. I have told friends and family about my experience and hope that they too will go to the chiropractor and get healthier.

Thank you Dr. Anderson
IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT YOU NOTICE IMPROVEMENTS ON
My neck and back had been in severe pain prior to the time I came to Dr. Anderson. I couldn’t even lean forward to get out of bed without feeling extreme discomfort. I tried using heat wraps, which I found out wasn’t beneficial, but actually unconstructive. Having people walk on my back didn’t seem to work either.

A friend of mine saw how much pain I was in and I just started going through the phonebook. I called Dr. Anderson and made an appointment.

After an examination and x-rays, we began a treatment program specified towards my needs. Dr. Anderson told me that basically, my spine was curved where it was suppose to be straight and straight where it was supposed to be curved.

Since treatment began I have noticed improved flexibility and very little pain if any throughout the course of an average day. It’s the little things that you notice improvements on during the course of a day that enable me to live a more enriched life. For me it was just getting out of bed without pain.

My advice to others is trust the doctor and stick with your treatment plan!

D.M.

I’M BACK TO WORK!
I had been at work and a patient grabbed my hair, pulled me to the floor and then proceeded to beat me. I went to the ER but the Dr. never looked at my neck. He only looked at my right eye that was swollen shut. The next day I went to the walk-in clinic and they prescribed me some pain killers and muscle relaxers. They told me to stay in bed on ice packs for a week.

I had been to Dr. Anderson before for a previous work injury so I decided to go back. He did a full examination, x-rays and put me on a treatment program. He even came in on Christmas to adjustment. He told me that my neck vertebrae were stuck out of alignment causing my headaches and neck pain. He provided pain management without drugs and I was able to enjoy the holiday season fully.

I am back to work and I can play and participate in life not having to worry about headaches and neck aches. I can drive, work, shop, spend time with the children and enjoy my job more.

Trust in the care that Dr. Anderson does. He will always tell you the truth about what needs to be done and not just covering it up with drugs.
T.K.

MY CARE WAS PHENOMENAL!
I had severe lower back and left knee pain. I hurt myself at work when I tried to pull back on a crate that was too heavy for me. I couldn’t stand up straight or sit comfortably and could barely walk. I tried ice and heat packs to get some relief.
Three years ago a friend of mine told me she went to Dr. Anderson and that he had helped her enormously. I went to see Dr Anderson. He examined me, tested me, took x-rays and showed me what was going on. Dr Anderson explained that it wouldn’t happen over night, but he thought through a series of adjustments he would get me on my feet again.
Within the first week I was able to get in my car and drive to my appointments. That doesn’t seem like much, but considering the pain I was in that was a major step. After that it was a series of adjustments to my back and knee to get me back to where I was before the injury. Comparing how I was when I first barely walked into Dr Anderson’s office to how I am now is nothing short of phenomenal. I’ve since gone back to doing everything I did before. I work out regularly and play golf as often as I can without pain. Plus, Dr Anderson gave me education on how to prevent any future injury.
In my opinion, if you have a problem that can be helped with Chiropractic, you can’t do better then Dr. Anderson and his staff. They got me back on my feet again and they will do the same for you.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO!
I had been suffering from neck and back pain from injuries I’ve had through the years. Medical doctors treated me with pain medication. The pain medication worked slightly and didn’t last very long.
My boyfriend told me about Dr. Anderson. He is also a patient of Dr. Anderson’s for some time. I made an appointment to see Dr. Anderson. He helped me with my neck and back alot. Dr. had me come in everyday. Then I went to every other day and now I have progressed to once a month!
I no longer have the neck and back pain I used to suffer with. The stiffness is better too. I am much more active and do so much more than I could before treatment.
In the beginning I was afraid to get my neck and back cracked. Now I look forward to it. It has become one of my favorite things to get done. It feels good and I feel good afterwards.

TAX SEASON GODSEND
When I first came to see Dr. Anderson I couldn’t shave my underarm because there was so much pain in my neck I couldn’t turn my head enough to allow my arm to reach the other side. I had numbness in my left arm and my left leg. This was back in 1999. I am a certified public accountant and I had just made it through another tax season. Dr. Anderson adjusted my spine and all of these problems went away.
Over the years I have had several different problems.
As you can imagine tax season is very stressful and I used to have a lot of shoulder, and neck pain along with headaches during this period of time. The adjustments during tax season have been a total godsend!! I went from having 2 or 3 headaches a week to 2 or 3 headaches per year.
One time I had a knee problem and Dr. Anderson adjusted my knee joint and the problem went away. Then another time I had a problem with my right shoulder joint and Dr. Andeson adjusted that and the problem went away again.
I have been receiving monthly maintenance adjustments all of these years since I fist met Dr. Anderson and they have kept me healthy and free from colds and illnesses. I’ve had one cold in the last 5 years.
Chiropractic had greatly reduced my stress and greatly improved the quality of my life and it is great to know that when I do have some type of problem I have a place to go where I can get some real help.

I HAVE NEVER MISSED A DAY WORK DUE TO SICKNESS DUE TO CHIROPRACTIC CARE
My pain started with my hip being out of place and a neck injury from tackle football.
I did not try any previous steps to resolve my problem because I grew up with chiropractic care.

I found out of Dr. Anderson through a friend who told me about his success with him and another chiropractor. When I first came to see Dr. Anderson, I had lower back pain. He took x-rays and did a completer examination and gave me adjustments.

I have never missed a day of work due to sickness due to chiropractic care. I have enjoyed healthy benefits of muscle and bone for at least the past 14 years under Dr. Anderson’s treatments on a twice monthly basis. I’m in great shape!

My neck and hip muscles are more relaxed since coming to Dr. Anderson and I can garden for 4 to 5 hours at a time-NON-STOP!! I enjoy haveing my 2 adjustments per month, which keeps my neck healthy and my hips free of pain.

I WAS PAIN FREE AND HAD NORMAL MOVEMENT AGAIN
Upon awakening one morning my neck was so tight I could not turn my head. My neck was stuck in one position. I looked for a chiropractor right away. I checked the Yellow Pages and found Dr. Anderson’s ad and decided to give him a call.

On my first appointment he took some x-rays and did and examination. He then followed with an alignment of my neck and spine. He told me that I had a locked up vertebrae and he put me on a treatment plan. After about the first three weeks I could say that I was pain free and had normal movement again.

If you have ever been woken up by not being able to turn your head or move without pain, I recommend immediate chiropractic care. If you want to be pain free and move normally, then go see Dr. Anderson like I did and get the relief that you need!

A.S.

Previous I tried sleeping on a different mattress and some muscle rub. It all helped a little bit, but not totally.

My words to others would be to stick with it because in the end you will be glad you did. Dr. Anderson really helped me!

IF HE CAN FIX ME, HE CAN FIX YOU
I woke up in the morning with a stiff neck. I could not turn my head so my wife Denise said she was going to make an appointment for me to see Dr. Anderson. My wife is also a patient of Dr. Anderson’s and she knew that he would be able to help me.

On my first appointment Dr. Anderson took x-rays, did a full exam and adjusted me. On my second appointment he went over everything from my first appointment. He told me my neck and lower back were out of whack. My report of findings showed a drawing of how my back looked. It definitely did not look exactly how it should have. I told him it must have happened when I fell off the loading dock.

I saw Dr. Anderson for about two months. He had put me on a treatment plan. Throughout the two months I felt like I was making progress after almost every appointment. I got better and now I feel GREAT! I have been released from my treatment plan and now I will be coming in only once a month for my maintenance appointment. I would recommend Dr. Anderson to anybody who has problems with their neck or back. If he can fix me, he can fix you.

D.S.

I WAS IN 4 CAR ACCIDENTS
Over the years I have been in four (4) car accidents where my head and neck were involved. This lead to years of developing a sore neck and right hip pain. At times I could hardly move. Sharp tender pain in my right hip was constant. I had a constant burning pain in my shoulder blades.

After treatments from my medical doctor I was told that I had arthritis. I had injections into my hip that helped for a while. After trying over the counter and prescription medications with little relief, I knew that I needed more. Being a nurse from the medical profession I did not always believe in chiropractors. I had an open mind and decided to check out services.

I heard of Dr. Anderson through a TV ad for the Every Woman Expo on channel 26. Dr. Anderson explained to me that I had degeneration due to injury and improper alignment of my spine over years of constant movement and stress, which was shown to me with x-rays and then with conversations I set-up a plan of treatment for my needs.

After coming for treatments with Dr. Anderson I know that I should have done this sooner. Also, before coming to Dr. Anderson I could hardly raise my right arm to dress. Now I have full movement in my right arm. I am able to move my neck while looking to change lanes easily when driving. My right hip tenderness is gone. The burning in my shoulder blades is down to a dull ache. I am able to go days without the constant pain I always had.

Please check out Dr. Anderson’s services. He is very knowledgeable of what he does. His services have helped me to understand that there was help out there to help rid me of my pain. Dr. Anderson’s treatments have helped me to be able to move easily and feel better!

Thank you Dr. Anderson and staff!

I CAN ENJOY MY LIFE FULLY AGAIN
I was experiencing neck and shoulder pain which had become an impediment to driving, my exercise routine, and any heavy work. This had lasted 6 weeks or so when I came see to Dr. Anderson.

I found Dr. Anderson’s advertising in the Yellow Pages. Dr. Anderson took x-rays, complete exam and put me on a treatment plan to follow. The treatments helped quickly. Dr. Anderson explained that my problem was a subluxation and beginning of degeneration of my upper vertebrae. A couple of week’s treatments produced good results, freedom from pain and increased range of comfortable motion.

My life has been improved with the ability to drive, lift and exercise. I can enjoy my life fully again. My word of encouragement for others is Chiropractic treatment can give you quick and lasting results!

W.B.

THE PAIN VIRTUALLY DISAPPEARED
For numerous months I was experiencing extreme stiffness and pain in my neck shoulders and back. I do a great deal of desk/computer work, so I was always in pain throughout the day. In addition, I was having frequent headaches.

I was taking a substantial quantity of ibuprofen to relieve the pain, but that began affecting my stomach and gave me kickback headaches.

I was referred to Dr. Anderson by my health insurance company. On my first appointment he took thorough x-rays and recommended his treatment program of spinal adjustments, followed by a maintenance routine.

I had Phase 2 Vertebral Subluxation Complex on several areas of my spine. The narrowing disc space, rough joint surfaces and bone spurs were affecting my immobility and causing the pain.

The pain and stiffness in my neck, shoulders and back has virtually disappeared, and I’ve essentially been able to eliminate the use of ibuprofen. The relief from pain and increased mobility has been wonderful. The adjustments are terrific and painless.

I had never been to a chiropractor before, and wasn’t sure what to expect since I’ve gone through the treatment. I have felt significantly better and I’m pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend Dr. Anderson’s services to others.

P.H.

I LEARNED THAT I DIDN’T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE PAIN
I’ve been suffering with chronic neck pain for a while now, and one day I just said enough is enough; I need to do something about this. It was progressively getting worse and I couldn’t stand it anymore. I saw one of Dr. Anderson’s commercials in the past so I looked up his phone number in the Yellow pages and decided to give him a call.

My first appointment he did a complete exam and full x-rays of my spine. He was very thorough. On my second appointment he went through all of his findings with me. He showed me the x-rays and explained what was going on with my neck and back. He also put me on a treatment plan that was designed for me. This would help my back and help get rid of the pain.

In less than two months I feel great. He put me on the wellness program, which is one visit a month. This is to help me keep my neck and back working properly and to help maintain my neck and back’s health.

My life has changed since I’ve been seeing Dr. Anderson. First off, the pain is gone. Second, I can concentrate on everyday things again. I’m not worrying or thinking about the pain anymore. I can work all day and live a normal life once again.

I learned that I didn’t have to put up with the pain, there is help out there. I couldn’t imaging going back to the painful life that I was use to. Let Dr. Anderson help you live a pain free life. There is no other way to live!

I’D RATHER SIT IN MY RECLINER THEN SLEEP IN IT
When I first came to see Dr. Anderson I had lower and upper back pain and chronic sinus infections. I have not been able to sleep lying down in the bed and had been sleeping in a lazy boy with just a slight incline for about the last 10 years. 2-3 times per year I would go in to see my medical doctor and he would give me penicillin which would clear up my sinuses. But the condition always returned within a month. The reason I resorted to sleeping in a chair is because if I lay down in bed I would wake up in the middle of the night with a stabbing headache and my sinuses would be all plugged up. If I slept in the chair in the upright position this did not happen. As a result of this I started to have back and neck pain.

I actually did come to see Dr.Anderson for my sinus condition. My husband had told him about my sinuses and he said that he had helped people with this condition before and that it would be worth seeing if he could help me too. I came in because of my back and neck pain as well. When I told him about my sinuses he said that we can try and fix that for you. He did an exam and took some x-rays of my spine and then we started treatment. I was really suprised that by pushing on my face bones Dr.Anderson was able to relieve the pressure in my sinuses. At first the improvement was slight. But after about 6 months of consistant adjustments twice per week, I was brave enough to try sleeping in a lying down position. During that time, I gradually increased the incline of the lazy boy until it finally went as low as it could go. At that point I decided to start trying to lie down. At first my sinuses plugged up a little but I had no headache. Then each night they seemed to get better and better and I plugged up less and less. Now they don’t really bother me at all.

I can’t believe how good it feels to sleep in a bed again and not have to make my usual visits to the doctor for antibiotics. The improvement in my back and neck has been great too. I had one flare up, but other than that it really has not bothered me much at all. I started getting my adjustments in February of 2009 and now it’s November 2009. It took that long to get results.

What I think about is where I would be right now if I had not taken the chance to receive help. I think I would still be sleeping in my chair and visiting the medical doctor and suffering needlessly. I know it took a long time for me to get this way so I knew that it wasn’t gong to be something that would be fixed overnight. I’m so glad I stuck with it!

I used to live on 8 Sinus Tylenol a day to kill the pain. But after a while there was no effect on my pain even though I was still taking Tylenol. The only thing that helped was sleeping upright but that was a lousy solution. Now I take Tylenol so I can breath easier during the day and I can sleep in a bed like a normal person.

Thanks, Dr. Anderson

Children These are some stories about our children patients.

SHE IS MUCH HAPPIER
My daughter Jasmine has been suffering with constipation since the day she was born. We tried everything, massaging her tummy, warm rags, nasty medicine, you name it. We even tried different formulas thinking that she was allergic to cow’s milk. Nothing worked and using medicine just hurt us as much as it hurt her. It made her cramp up and cry and it felt like all we could do is rock her and cry ourselves. We finally had to start giving her suppositories weekly and bi-weekly. We heard about Dr. Anderson through my husband’s mother because he had just accepted our insurance. Within 2-3 visits Jasmine was more “normal” in regards to her BM.

She is much happier which obviously would make us happier as well. One day when Jasmine’s aunt was over to our house, she asked what happened to Jasmine? “She seems so much happier now and she has so much more energy than before. She use to be so lethargic.” I told her that she had been getting adjustments from Dr. Anderson and now she is not constipated. I encourage any patient to bring their baby into see Dr. Anderson. It helps them grow stronger and happier. You will be glad that you did!

A. & J. S.

I CAN GO UNDER THE WATER NOW
My name is Tyler and I am 10 years old and have been suffering with ear pain, infections and drainage since I was a baby. Doctors had tried unsuccessfully to alleviate the pain, and I had tubes inserted into my ears five or six times in as many years.

We found Dr. Anderson through my dad’s insurance provider directory. On my first visit to Dr. Anderson, he took x-rays, did an exam and then treatments starting with four times a week. I was told my spine had to be adjusted correctly so my ear will stop draining.

Now, my ear has stopped draining a lot and it makes me feel better. I can go under the water in a pool several times now, when I couldn’t go under the water at all before. I haven’t had an earache in a long time now.

My words of encouragement for others who have similar problems:
Try Dr. Anderson. It really helps a lot. Trust me.

T.P.

IMMEDIATE RESULTS WERE ATTAINED
Tristan is now a happy 6 week old baby boy. But when he was about 3 to 4 weeks old, Tristan started to have problems burping and with gas. He then began to have trouble breast feeding because the gas would build up. He would cry because he wanted to eat and cry because he couldn’t burp and the gas would build up and make him mad. Tristan’s mom and dad would take turns burping him and doing leg exercises to relieve the gas.

Tristan’s aunt Dr. Sarah Hill, D.C. initially adjusted Tristan. Dr. Hill lives in Florida so she recommended Tristan follow up with Dr. Anderson. Tristan’s parents and sister have also seen Dr. Anderson for the past two years.

Tristan was having difficulty passing built up gas in the digestive track. Dr. Anderson adjusted the area of the spine associated with the digestive system. Tristan would have been colicly if chiropractic care hadn’t been given.

Immediate results were attained. Tristan was able to burp on his own after nursing. He no longer cried after eating or while trying to eat. Tristan now spends more time trying to smile and less time crying. He is a much happier baby.

Words of encouragement for other parents, “children and infants need chiropractic care too!”

WE NEVER KNEW THAT CHIROPRACTIC COULD BE FOR KIDS TOO!
Katie, age 7, was having constipation and allergy problems. We were in the office waiting and because we had read other letters from patients about their children it prompted me to have Katie checked over also. Plus, it beat the alternative of taking medication. Since we have been seeing Dr. Anderson, Katie hasn’t had any bowel problems.

More importantly, we found out early that she was in Stage 1. She will continue to see Dr. Anderson on wellness visits as well.

We never knew that Chiropractic could be for kids too. Katie anxiously anticipates every visit!

MY HEART SANK WHEN I SAW MY 6 YEAR OLD IN TEARS, NOW HIS HEADACHES ARE GONE
It started back in April of last year. Tysen was attending kindergarten and enjoying his first year at school. Everything was good until I received a call from school telling me that Tysen’s head was hurting. I immediately went to pick him up and my heart sank when I saw my 6 year old in tears. I took him home and proceeded to give him Ibuprofen and let him rest. Within the next few weeks, Tysen was getting headaches at least twice a week.

I myself have suffered from migraines since the age of 9. A few years ago, is when I discovered Dr. Anderson and the relief he was able to provide. I have been getting adjustments and because of Dr. Anderson, my migraines haven’t been as intense. I was getting a migraine at least 4 days a week. My migraines have diminished and I feel better than I have in years. So, during one of my appointments with Dr. Anderson, I mentioned my son’s headaches and he recommended I bring him in to be checked out.

Our family doctor suggested a head CT to check for any problems. The results came back normal. I felt like I was out of options and would have to watch my son suffer as I have over the years. I didn’t want my son to rely on prescription medication like I have.

Once I brought Tysen in, Dr. Anderson took x-rays of his spine. He reassured me that he could help Tysen get relief from the headaches. I trusted Dr. Anderson knowing how he was able to help me with my headaches.

After a week of adjustments, Tysen’s headaches subsided. Tysen is feeling better and his headaches are all gone. I am grateful to Dr. Anderson and the relief he provides for his patients. I believe in the benefits of Chiropractic care and my son and I are proof that it does work.

I am now looking forward to watching my son enjoy first grade pain and headache free! Thank you Dr. Anderson!

IT’S AMAZING WHAT HE CAN DO FOR NEWBORNS
Our daughter was about 2 months old and we couldn’t get her to sleep at night. She was so fussy, she was colicky. It was the same thing every night; she would start around 8:00 and go until 4:00 the next morning. We couldn’t get her to go to sleep, therefore, we couldn’t sleep. She would just cry and cry. Can you imagine what this is like?

We tried whatever someone might say like giving her warm milk, rocking her, etc. We didn’t want to give her drugs so we bypassed the medical doctors because we knew they would just want to giver some type of medicine.

One day someone had recommended that I take Karlee to see a chiropractor. Since I already see Dr. Anderson, I decided to take her in to see him. Dr. Anderson adjusted her about 3 or 4 times and it was amazing, he took care of the problem. It was night and day! She was like a totally different baby.

After seeing Dr. Anderson she sleeps through the whole night now! I would recommend to any parent who is having troubles with their infant to take them to see Dr. Anderson. It’s amazing what he can do for newborns!

HE WAS GREAT WITH JOSEPH!
Ever since Joseph was quite little he had suffered from multiple ear infections and colds. We were always going to the doctor for one thing or another. The part I hated the most was giving him all these medications to “fix” the problems, just for them to come back. The last straw came when they put him on a nebulizer twice a day to administer medicine for bronchitis, he was also diagnosed with a double ear infection.

It was hard seeing my son go through such a hard time when he wasn’t no more than a 1 year old. My mother-in-law informed me about chiropractic care and how it could help him. I found Dr. Anderson’s number in the phone book and gave him a call.

He was great with Joseph! After the first week his ear infections went away and the bronchitis got much better. Since his treatments he has had only one cold, and it has been over 6 months since.

Thank you Dr. Anderson!

MILKING COWS AND PULLING CALVES AGAIN!
My daughter got sick last December. I took Christina to a pediatric doctor many times with no results. The doctors kept saying she had a virus and acid reflux. They drew blood and ruled out mono. Christina developed pain in her right upper abdominal region. The doctors gave her strong pain medication and she had a CT scan. Over this two month period she had missed 21 days of school. During Christmas break she was so sick she couldn’t get out of bed.
At one of my maintenance appointments I told Dr. Anderson about Christina. He told me to bring her in to see him and he would try to help. I made the appointment. I thought it might be a good idea to try something else because the medical doctors couldn’t figure out what was wrong.
I brought Christina in for her first appointment in January. She had been miserable for 10 weeks.
It was like a miracle. After three visits she was milking cows and pulling calves. I am not kidding. After four visits she was able to go to school every day. Dr Anderson put Christina on a plan for better health. Today she is 100% better. I never thought I would see the day. All the days she was sick were horrible.
Dr. Anderson is great! I would recommend chiropractic care to anyone first, before I would keep going to a medical doctor with no answers.

CHIROPRACTIC IS A GIFT FROM GOD!
Anna’s symptoms started a week before we brought her in to see Dr. Anderson. Anna was not feeling well and had a stomach ache. She developed a fever and had to stay home from school. As the week went on she wasn’t getting better. Her ear was hurting too.
We decided to bring her to see Dr. Anderson. In the past he has helped our other two children with ear infections and fevers. When our other children were treated with antibiotics prescribed by medical doctors the symptoms would always return when they were done with the medicine. With chiropractic care they became well much faster and stayed well.

Anna had an exam and Dr Anderson went to work to give her the right treatment. Anna felt better right after her first adjustment and that day her ear stopped hurting. She still had the fever for one more day. The next day she went back to school. Her appetite was back too.

We have been coming to see Dr. Anderson since 2005 when I was having breathing problems from previous back problems. Chiropractic care is an awesome gift from God that can benefit everyone, even kids! If your child is suffering from an ear infection or other ailment, please consider taking them to Dr. Anderson. He’s the best!

Dizziness & Miscellaneous: These are some stories from our patients who had been suffering from dizziness and miscellaneous issues.

I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY PROGRESS
I ached and didn’t have much energy for the last 3 months. After taking Tylenol for the aches and pain without much success to solve the problem I decided I needed to do something else.

I attended the Every Women’s Expo in March of this year. Dr. Anderson and his staff were there and did a free spinal screening followed by a chair massage and I decided to give Dr. Anderson a try. Dr. Anderson took x-rays, gave me a thorough examination and a treatment program to follow. Dr. Anderson explained to me that my problem was arthritis and a curved spine and that he could help me through his treatments.

I am very happy with my progress and results, it has been so beneficial to me. I feel better so I have more get up and go. My muscles were always tired before I saw Dr. Anderson and now I don’t have that. I can even exercise more now, which I couldn’t do before.

I think everyone should find out what their problems are with their spine because it can tell why you feel like you do. There is a good reason that Dr. Anderson was trained and skilled in his field of chiropractics.

MY DIZZYNESS WENT AWAY INSTANTLY
I was grocery shopping and became extremely dizzy. I couldn’t finish shopping and thinking that I may be having heart problems. Again my wife drove me directly to the doctor’s office.

Because I sometimes have problems with allergies, they discontinued one of my medications, thinking that was the problem. It didn’t help. At one point I became so sick with vomiting, nausea and dizziness that I ended up in the Emergency Room. At that time my problem was diagnosed as an inner ear infection. I was given a prescription and referred to a specialist. It took about 3 weeks to get in to see the doctor. During that time I was having this problem I had to cancel 2 monthly maintenance appointments I had with Dr. Anderson. I hadn’t mentioned what my problem was.

Finally I told Dr. Anderson’s receptionist that I had an appointment with the ear specialist the next day and after the doctor cleared up my dizziness I would go back on maintenance care again. I hung up the phone and Dr. Anderson called me back. He said he was sure he could help me and I should come down that day to see him.

He gave me a treatment and my dizziness went away instantly. After suffering so long, I couldn’t believe it. The next day when I went to see the specialist I was fine. If this happens again, Dr. Anderson is the first one I will call!

DON’T PUT UP WITH HAVING LIMITATIONS IN LIFE
In October of 2002 I had the misfortune of falling off my horse breaking four ribs and injuring my spine. Also in July of 2003, I fell again off my horse and had total body whiplash. I had trouble walking, breathing, standing and couldn’t ride my horse. Coughing, laughing and sneezing hurt, and also I had lost nerve supply to my abdominal muscles, so I couldn’t pull my belly in. Riding horses is part of my life and my hips wouldn’t allow that.

In September of 2003 I found out about Dr. Anderson by talking to a few of his other patients. Dr. Anderson told me that my problem was a lot of subluxations in my back, and my hips were out of place. He took x-rays and put things back where they belonged. Dr. Anderson is great at giving good hip adjustments. I had tried another chiropractor and physical therapy before coming to Dr. Anderson, with no help.

It took several months, but I am back to doing my every day normal activities, as well as doing my farm work. I can now comfortably ride horses again, and be in harmony with the horse.

My life has improved as I can breathe, bend, walk, sit and ride. I am not in constant pain, my headaches are about 90% improved, my upper and middle back are not irritated and stiff. I can do stuff again and don’t feel like I am a cripple. I am no longer depressed and feel worthless, since I can now do my normal functions of the day that I used to take for granted.

I would encourage others to not put up with having limitations in life. Get the help you need from chiropractic and enjoy life to the fullest.

I CAN NOW TOUCH MY TOES
It all started when I fell on the ice at work on a Friday. I went and saw the doctor on Monday. I wasn’t even able to rollover in bed or get out of the bed or the chair without any help.

The doctor prescribed me pain medication and sent me back to work the next day. I ended up with numb feet.

I happen to be watching TV and saw a commercial of Dr. Anderson’s and decided to call and make an appointment. Dr. Anderson took x-rays, gave me an exam, adjustment and interferential therapy. It was like an instant relief!

Dr. Anderson explained to me that I had nerve interference that was causing my problem and that I needed to follow a plan of treatment for it to get better. I started with daily adjustments and therapy and then 3 times a week. I had instant relief over a month’s time. Now I feel better then I did before I hurt myself.

My life has improved with feeling better on a daily basis and now I can even touch my toes! My words of encouragement are to see Dr. Anderson first!!

LETS GET YOU FEELING BETTER
I am a lady in her 80’s with the vanity of a 25 year old. After falling a few times, having to use a cane (I didn’t like that), unable to reach into the cupboard, essentially handicapped by severe pain in my knee, shoulders and neck. Medication didn’t help! I didn’t know where to turn, so I turned the pages of the telephone book and found Dr. Brian Anderson, Chiropractor.

After Dr. Anderson took x-rays and an exam. He gave me my diagnosis and a few treatments. I am able now to walk well, get up out of a chair without help and attend to the activities of daily living.

He is honest, sincere and dedicated to help you. He doesn’t say “At your age”. He says, “Let’s get you feeling better”. And he does!!

L.M.

OH’ LET ME COUNT THE WAYS
For the last couple of years I was in severe pain, but I tended to disregard and ignore my pain because my husband was terribly ill and needed a lot of care. He died this past February. I still ignored my pain until I was so bad that I could barely walk and my “morning stiffness” incapacitated me most of every day.

My family doctor (He really is great) put me on pain medication in very big doses. That helped numb the pain, but that is all it did. I needed treatments that could cure me from the pain and I have found the perfect treatment right here in Dr. Anderson’s office.

I happen to look in the phone book and saw a picture of Dr. Anderson on the page and that encouraged me to call and make an appointment. Dr. Anderson did a very comprehensive exam and took x-rays when I first came in. Dr. Anderson explained my problem was that a lot of my spine was not where it was supposed to be…I was out of alignment.

The strangest problem I have, but didn’t write down because it never entered my mind to, is that for several years I have had problems swallowing. I woke up the day after my first treatment and noticed I hadn’t choked on dinner the day before and was swallowing without difficulties anymore. It was the first time in 3 to 4 years that I hadn’t choked and gagged on every bite. I’m so in awe about how much better I feel. I still have a way to go, but it is worth the visits on how much better I feel—All Over!

Let me count the ways of my overall progress and results. I can swallow without choking. I feel like I’m more flexible. I’m sleeping better. I’m breathing deeper and I have a lot more stamina.

My encouragement to others…Don’t give up! Over just a few weeks I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Anderson and his wonderful staff.

P.C.
THE RESULTS ARE AMAZING
I had been suffering from dizziness for over 1 year. At first I thought it was my blood pressure. I unsuccessfully saw both a Physical Therapist and ENT Specialist.

I found out about Dr. Anderson through Television Ads and the Yellow Pages. My initial visit with Dr. Anderson consisted of X-ray’s, exam and adjustment. After that I had several appointments to adjust my neck.

Dr. Anderson explained my dizziness problem to me, that my neck no longer has a natural curve and some joints in it are deteriorating. Within the first two weeks my dizziness was completely gone.

Now I can function normally. I no longer miss work or family functions as before because “I was too dizzy to walk straight!”

My words of encouragement are no matter what your doctor says don’t be afraid to try Chiropractic. THE RESULTS ARE AMAZING! Dr. Anderson and his staff are great!!

I CAN NOW HELP TAKE CARE OF MY MOM
I came to see Dr. Anderson for a second opinion. My family doctor and the ER doctors said that nothing was really wrong with me. After 3 ½ years of getting no relief and getting the run around, I said enough is enough. So I went to the Yellow Pages and I saw Dr. Anderson’s ad. I knew I could trust him. I was always afraid to go see a chiropractor, but here I am and so glad to get so much relief. Dr. Anderson is so friendly and careful.

I can now walk better, move my neck back and forth without pain, my headaches are better and the pain is severely reduced in my back, elbows and hands. I can think and sleep better, I have more energy, my anxiety has gotten better, I can lift things and the most important to me, help take care of my mom. It has been so much better for me since I’ve been seeing Dr. Anderson. Thank you Dr. Anderson!

THERE IS WAS PROGRESS EACH WEEK
I want to thank Dr. Anderson for explaining my health problems and setting a goal with me for improvement. I had been to a chiropractic office before and had no idea why they adjusted certain parts but not others. Or how the body needs to work together to improve your health so much.
My condition was back aches, shoulder pain and burning in my upper back area. The pain was so bad some days that I didn’t want to do anything. I had been suffering for many months if not almost a full year. I work in a factory and do the same thing over and over all day long. I also look down a lot which caused a lot of neck pain and headaches.
I had gone to my family doctor and he put me on muscle relaxers. They worked for a while but they even stopped helping. I did some out patient therapy but that only lasted for a while. I was looking in the phone book one day for someone close to home and I came across Dr. Anderson.
On my first appointment I had full exam and x-rays. Dr. Anderson told me that I had curves in my spine, weak areas in the spine and bone spurs starting. I had appointments every day for a while to try and teach the spine to stay in its place. The appointments decreased as I got better. I had electric therapy which really helped.
The progress was slow to start with at first and I didn’t think it was getting better but with lots of time the pain went away. I don’t live with backaches or burning in my upper back anymore. Best of all, my headaches are gone too! I can finally sleep all night without being up 5 times to find a comfortable spots. Also, I enjoy playing darts each week and now I can play all night without the pain.
Don’t give up, there is help out there. The problem took a long time coming on and a long time to get better. It was slow, but progress was there each week.

I AM NOW ABLE TO SIT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME
In 2004, I had been suffering with intense pain in my tailbone that just seemed to come on for no reason. I was having difficulty sitting in any soft chair, or sitting anywhere for any length of time. Long car rides were excruciating. I had consulted my family doctor who was unable to find anything specific that was causing my pain. He prescribed a couple different medications for the pain, but I didn’t get any relief from them. After some more blood work, he sent me to a rheumatologist, as my blood work showed positive for rheumatoid arthritis. In consulting a rheumatologist, she thoroughly examined me and determined that I did not have rheumatoid arthritis and referred me to a physical therapist. I spent 2 months in therapy, again, no relief. My therapist suggested I see an orthopedic doctor, who possibly may suggest surgery to correct my condition. That was the last thing I wanted!

My husband had been seeing Dr. Anderson for a neck problem, and he strongly urged me to see him also. Dr. Anderson told my husband he thought he would be able to help me. I was at wit’s end, and finally made an appointment to see him.

During my first visit, Dr. Anderson took x-rays and did and examination. He started treatments that day and I saw him 3 times a week for several weeks. The pain eased up after treatment, but by the time I got to the next appointment, I was hurting again. I stuck to it, and gradually the pain lessened between appointments. Soon I was seeing Dr. Anderson only twice a week, then once a week. Due to some unplanned surgery for another problem, I went on a hiatus for a few months, but started treatments again when my tailbone started to hurt again. I saw him three times a week for a couple of weeks, then twice a week, then finally once a week. I see Dr. Anderson once a month for maintenance, and am practically pain-free between appointments.

Now that I am able to sit for longer periods of time again, I can make the car trips to see our children that are anywhere from 1 ½ hours to 8 hours away! My husband and I were also able to take a bus trip to Washington DC this fall. I know without a doubt that I would not be able to make these trips without Dr. Anderson’s help.

I know now that chiropractic care should be one of the first treatments to seek when you are experiencing pain, no matter how obscure it its! Even though I was skeptical at the beginning, I am so glad that I stuck to it and very grateful to Dr. Anderson for his expert care!

CHIROPRACTIC CAREER CHOICE
Upon my initial consultation I was in pretty bad shape. Due to my extensive athletic career I had ruptured a disc in my lower back when I was 17. This disc was causing a nerve pathway to flare up and cause a tremendous amount of pain all the way down my right leg. I actually had surgery on my right hip joint in an attempt to correct this leg pain problem but to no avail.
I had also developed a very hunched over upper back, which was causing a lot of upper back pain while I was seated. Lastly, my neck had been misaligned from my sleeping position, which was causing a nerve in my right arm to go numb frequently.
So, it is now 3 ½ months later and I am doing much better. I no longer have the degree of pain in all three parts as I once did. My neck pain is completely gone, and my leg doesn’t bother me nearly as often or as intensely as it did before. It is probably 90% recovered. I have made the comment to Dr. Anderson that “I feel 23 again”. I didn’t think I would be say those words anytime soon.
Dr. Anderson is a very good person. He will listen to you and really put forth a tremendous amount of effort at each individual appointment. He has also helped me in other parts of my life. After seeing Dr. Anderson, he has secured my decision on becoming a Chiropractor. He has set an excellent example for me. I am truly excited to learn more about the philosophies of Chiropractic.
To conclude, this office has become somewhere I look forward to coming to. Everything from the warm greeting from the office staff, to learning more about how I can live a pain free lifestyle.

I CAN’T HEAR YOU

I was at work in late May of this year and all of a sudden, my left ear went deaf. I mean completely deaf! I had to turn my right ear towards people to hear them. I thought it could be an earwax build-up because I have had that happen in the past. That was not the problem. The next day I went to an MD. He gave a prescription for an antibiotic. I took them all and there was no change in my hearing. I went back a second time and got another prescription. Again, there was no change.
I brought my son to see Dr. Anderson about 13 years ago because he had non stop ear infections. His ear infections went away with Dr. Andersons help. So after procrastinating for awhile, I decided to see if chiropractic could help my hearing.
After a full exam and x-rays, Dr. Anderson started me on a 3 day a week treatment plan, adjusting my neck each time. With each adjustment I could feel a little draining sensation in my left ear.
Dr. Anderson told me that because of a natural fusion of the two vertebra I don’t have the mobility and I can throw my neck out of alignment easily. This puts pressure on the ear and stops proper drainage.
After a slow beginning, my hearing was slightly coming back after 2 weeks. Since then progress has been very good. Now it’s less than 2 months later and my hearing is restored 100%. I no longer have to turn toward the people with my right ear to hear them. Now I can hear perfect and I don’t feel messed up due to not hearing in that one ear. I feel great and I don’t feel like I have a brick wall on the left side of my head.
Be patient, chiropractic care helps the body heal itself. Even if it’s the inner ear.

A LIFE CHANGING EVENT

I’m not sure how it started, but I had been experiencing dizziness for over a year. I went to a medical doctor and he put me through some tests. He wrote a prescription for Dramamine. This was no help and I didn’t go back for the rest of the tests.
I have been a patient of Dr. Anderson’s for over 5 years. I came in to see Dr. Anderson for treatment and it just so happened this was one of the days I was feeling very dizzy and light headed. Dr. Anderson could tell there was something wrong. He did a review of my neck and made an adjustment. Dr. Anderson said it was a bone in my neck that had been moved into an area which was causing the dizziness I was experiencing.
My progress was amazing. It was instantaneous. I am mentally much sharper. I think more clearly. I can actually call it a life changing event!
My advice is never hold back!! Give Dr. Anderson a chance to help.

MY HEAD WAS SPINNING
My ordeal started a few weeks ago when I woke up to find the room spinning. That in turn told my stomach to turn too. With me holding my head over the toilet bowl, my ever accommodating husband dressed and at 5:32 a.m. and went to buy me some motion sickness pills.
For the next few days I was hoping it would disappear. When it didn’t I went to the doctor thinking I had an inner ear problem. After the examination the doctor asked if I ever had my neck cracked. My immediate reaction was that nobody but Dr. Anderson could do it.
It only took one treatment and no more spinning. I still had periodic dizziness and a fuzzy head, but with each session everything improved and now I am completely recovered. That was the worst ordeal.

I WENT BACK TO SCHOOL AFTER 1 DAY AND BACK TO WORK AFTER 3
I was having a lot of difficulty with lightheadedness and dizziness. If I tried to walk I felt like I was going to pass out. I wound up missing 2 1/2 weeks of school and my job after school. I spent my time lying on the couch at home because any of the activities of my daily living were impossible to do. One day I was on the couch bawling my eyes out and didn’t know what to do. My mom looked in the yellow pages for a chiropractor and called Dr. Anderson.

I went in to see Dr. Anderson on the same day which was great. He talked with me about my problem and took x-rays and I could see that my spine was “way messed up.” Dr. Anderson gave me my first adjustment and I felt immediate relief. I was even able to go to Wal-Mart that afternoon. The next day I went back to school. After 3 days I was able to return to work.

I also had back pain and neck pain which cleared up during my treatments.

I know people don’t believe in chiropractors but if they give it a try I think they would be amazed.

Thank you so much Dr. Anderson.

CHIROPRACTIC WORKS! GIVE IT A TRY!
Before I started seeing Dr. Anderson I had severe pain in my left hip, which went down the back of my leg to my foot and into the middle of my back. I also had pain in my left arm. I was missing work because of it. This had been going on for probably 10 or so years before I did anything at all.

I chose Dr. Anderson from his advertisement in the yellow pages of the phone book. My first visit consisted of an examination and then x-ray.

Dr. Anderson explained that I had subluxations caused by abuse from improper lifting, car accidents and age. After evaluating my situation he started me on a treatment plan of adjusting my middle back and left hip. The adjustments at first were frequent 3 to 4 times a week, but tapered off to once every 2 to 4 weeks.

Seeing I left it for so long it took quite some time for things to improve, but they did and now by going every 3 to 4 weeks for an adjustment the pain is either mild or I have none at all.

Chiropractic Works!! Give it a try!! Thank you Dr. Anderson, my whole body feels better and I can enjoy life again.

I CAN WALK AND NOT FEEL LIKE I’M LOOSING MY FOOTING
About a year ago, I took a pretty bad fall and I broke my foot and sprained my ankle. My foot and ankle were taped up for over three months. Since then I’ve been having numbness in the foot and heal.

For my job I am on feet about 80% of the day, so when I had sprained my foot once again, it had made doing my job very difficult. I had gone to Dr. Anderson for my wellness check up and I had mentioned how I was having problems with my ankle and foot. Dr. Anderson examined my foot and saw that it was swollen and that it looked a lot different from my other foot. He did some x-rays and set up some very simple treatments.

The x-ray showed that my ankle was out of alignment. Within four adjustments the foot no longer hurt and the numbness started to go away. Now it is totally gone. I was even able to wear hi-heel shoes for a very special party that I went to. Now I can walk much better without feeling like I am going to loose my footing.

Don’t think that Chiropractic is just for back problems. At my age I have learned that it is good for any part of the body that is not working like it should. Don’t put off or just live with the pain. There is help out there, take advantage of it.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
Before I began treatment with Dr. Anderson I was facing surgery on my heel. I knew I wouldn’t be able to tolerate that until my legs and back were less painful. With the help of Dr. Anderson, the surgeon and physical therapist, I am now almost pain free. Without the help of all doctors I know I could not have come as far as I have. As I continued to see Dr. Anderson and rehab I know I will reach my goal…. which is to keep up with my 4 grandchildren (all under the age of 3)!

My condition started with pain in my leg and hips resulting from my heel pain. I found out about Dr. Anderson through my son-in-law, Dr. Robert Castell, D.C., who has a practice in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Dr. Anderson helped to relieve the pain in my back, hip and knee so I could withstand surgery on my heel. Which resulted with less pain so I was able to begin an exercise program to begin to strengthen by legs and knees. My pain level has decreased greatly and I now swim 3 to 4 days per week.

My words of encouragement would be when your faced with medical problems take the time to use the “entire” medical field to obtain good health…. think “Outside the Box”!

DR. ANDERSON CURES THE PAIN
My big toe started to hurt on Saturday and by Sunday I could hardly walk on it. Monday I was in tears. I knew I would need to contact
Dr. Anderson for an appointment. So I called his office and his friendly staff got me in right away.

Dr. Anderson did do an exam, x-ray’s and did an adjustment of my foot. Dr. Anderson explained to me that it was some kind of joint damage. The next day I had no pain in my foot. And after only 3 visits with treatment it was all gone.

My life has improved with not having to live with a lot of pain as I use to before coming to Dr. Anderson. My encouragement to others is, why live with the pain when you can have Dr. Anderson cure the pain.

I DIDN’T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN ANYMORE
For the last couple of years I had some pain in my right hip and it was clear that my back was not as “straight” as it used to be. I had never really taken any steps to get rid of the pain. It was just part of my life. One day I decided that I should really go get it check out. I just didn’t want to deal with the pain anymore. I decided to check out the yellow pages and see what I could find. I came across Dr. Anderson’s ad and I saw that he had a website, so I decided to check it out. After reviewing his website, I knew that I would get the treatment I needed from him. The website had lots of information and was very helpful.

On my first appointment Dr. Anderson went through my medical history, examined my back and took some x-rays of my spine. He then put me on a treatment plan. It was quite often at first. Every other day to begin and then it gradually got less and less. Dr. Anderson told me that I had spinal decay and subluxations in my spine and it would take a little bit for it to improve.

Now, I am on a wellness plan. I only go once a month. It has been great. My pain is gone and my back feels much better.
I am glad I decided to do this. It is definitely worth it.

If you are experiencing back problems, definitely visit Dr. Anderson. It’s amazing what those adjustments can do for your back and your wellbeing.

IT TOOK SOME TIME, BUT IT WAS WORHT IT
Just before Halloween last year I woke up in the middle of the night in terrible pain. I couldn’t get comfortable at all. I got up and felt the pain all the way down my right leg. It was bad enough that I thought about the emergency room. I found a comfortable position, but only for short periods, in the fetal position. I dozed off with my legs tucked under me only to wake up not feeling either foot. I suffered through bringing my daughters to school, called into work and I knew I had to do something.

I was unsure of my condition. I didn’t know what caused it. I just knew that it was painful from my lower back down to my right leg. I thought it was maybe a pinched nerve. I knew if I went to the emergency room all they would do is give me pain pills that put me to sleep.

I looked in the phone book and called to see who I could get into the quickest. It was Dr. Anderson. What a smart guy. He really knows his stuff. He gave me an adjustment daily until I got better and then moved to where I only went in once a month.

Progress was slow in the beginning. I wasn’t cured after just one visit. It took time to retrain those muscles and nerves to work together. I drive a lot for my job as an Aflac agent, so getting better was essential.

I can now comfortably take trips, spend time walking my dogs and playing with my kids. My words of encouragement are: stick to the regiment that Doc puts you on. He has a wealth of knowledge and can help in other areas of your life too – try Yoga!

NO NEED TO SUFFER WITH HIP AND LEG PAIN
I had been suffering with pain in my leg and hip for about one month. I found about Dr. Anderson through our insurance. I made an appointment with Dr. Anderson and within a few visits I could walk and run again without pain.
I have been on a maintenance program for three years and wouldn’t miss a monthly appointment. Don’t wait for the pain to get better on it’s own or for the pain to get so bad you have a hard time walking. Dr. Anderson can help.

BE PATIENT AND GIVE THE TREATMENT A CHANCE TO WORK
While bowling I pinched a nerve, sending a shooting pain down the back of my leg. I called Dr. Anderson whom I had gone to before with success. After a month of treatments I noticed not only was the pain in my leg gone, but to my surprise, my lower back pain had also improved. I suffered for years with lower back pain. I had epidural injections, but they were only a temporary help.
I love yard work and after 10 minutes I’d have to sit for a half hour before starting up again. Now I am able to work an hour or more at a time. It is wonderful!
I’d recommend anyone who has any kind of back problems to give Dr. Anderson a call. Be patient and give the treatment a chance to work.
Thanks to Dr. Anderson I’m back doing everything I enjoy. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

DON’T BE AFRAID, JUST DO IT
I had been suffering from low back, hip and knee pain for about 2 months. One day, the right thing must have slipped in the wrong place and for no apparent reason, I was in pain.

It got to the point where I was taking four to five ibuprofen four to five times a day! I tried massage therapy, and while it helped a little, it didn’t get to the root of the problem. My massage therapist suggested Dr. Anderson, because Dr. Anderson treats HER chiropractor.

Dr. Anderson has been giving adjustments to my back and knee for little over a month now, and my progress is great! Before coming in to see Dr. Anderson, I couldn’t sit through a meal without having to stand up two or three times to “walk out” the pain. Sitting in one place for any period of time was too much to handle – Rough, considering I drive a truck for a living!

By the third visit to Dr. Anderson, I felt relief from the pain. Now I can sit in a chair without taking rests. My life has improved 100%!

To anyone who may be suffering needlessly, don’t be afraid to come in to Dr. Anderson’s office and get chiropractic adjustments. Have no fear, just do it!

DON’T WAIT TO LONG TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE
One morning I woke up and had pain in both legs. For three months, I went through every test at the hospital and they could not find what was wrong with me.

I saw Dr. Anderson on T.V. I decided to call him – my last hope. Dr. Anderson took x-rays of my spine to find out what was wrong with me. He told me what was wrong after looking at the x-rays. My spine was in bad shape! He then began treatment. It took a while, but the pain was finally gone! My legs are painless. I can stoop down and kneel, which I could not do before.

I have always had this belief that if you have faith in your Doctor and in the Lord, you will be healed. Don’t wait so long to have something done.

P.H.

TRADITIONAL MEDICINE COULD NOT HELP ME, CHIROPRACTIC DID
I had hip pain for about fifteen years after being injured in basic training in the army. It was so bad that I tried medical doctors several times. I never had any result. I decided to go to a chiropractor when my pain was interfering with my horseback riding activities. The pain made me use my body in an unnatural way that it shouldn’t be working. I was referred to chiropractic thru my alternative therapy class for horses. I had gone to a class on chiropractic for horses. I learned the basic theory of chiropractic in that class and it applies to any mammal. When I put two and two together the fact that I had pain, and that I was convinced that it worked on horses that caused me to come in and see if Dr. Anderson could help me. I looked up Dr. Anderson in the yellow pages and what really drew me to him was the fact that he had a chiropractic neurology degree in addition to his chiropractic degree. Dr. Anderson did an exam and took some x-rays. It was clear to me what my problem was. The displacement of my hip was obviously showing in the x-rays. The treatments that Dr. Anderson has done on me have allowed me to use my body equally on both sides again in ways that I never could since my injury. During the course of care, I was injured when my horse decided to take off on his own and I tried to stop him. I thought I had a rib injury. Dr. Anderson did an orthopedic exam and it pin pointed the problem. He gave me an adjustment that was immediately effective. What I thought was a rib injury was actually a spinal subluxation that responded immediately to the treatment. As for the pain that was in my hip for fifteen years, it was gone within one month of treatment. The pain that I thought was a rib injury was gone in one week. Even when you don’t think your problem is related to your spine it very often can be. The theory behind chiropractic is logical and obviously when there is a structural problem this is the way to fix it. It has been a relief because traditional medicine couldn’t help me for all these years. Chiropractic care is what I’m going to seek from now on, now that I have found out all about chiropractic care.

C.P.

I LIKE DOCTORS THAT WORK WITH THEIR HANDS
I had pain in my hip and down my right leg that would keep me awake at night. I tried resting and walking, taking Advil, but nothing worked. I went to the phone book to find a chiropractor. “I like the doctors that work with their hands.” I found Dr. Anderson and decided to give him a call.

On my first appointment he took x-rays and told me what was wrong and what he was going to do to fix it. He told me that my hip had shifted. It had to be snapped back in. It took a week to really feel the results. I saw Dr. Anderson 3 times a week, then 2 times a week, then once a week now once a month. I feel Great!

Now I can walk, shoot bow and work without hurting. I can also sleep all night. For those who have similar problems, get to the chiropractor NOW and feel Great!!

H.P.

IT SURE BEATS SURGERY
My injury occurred in May ’07. I was kneeling down and tried to reposition my knee and I felt my knee pop. I had pain in my right knee and my right foot was not in the normal position. My foot was slanted off to the right. I went to a medical center to have it checked out. They did x-rays, a MRI and gave me some prescription drugs for the pain and swelling. I also had a consult with an orthopedic surgeon. He wanted to do surgery which would have laid me up for about 6 weeks.

I have been a patient of Dr. Anderson’s for about 2 ½ years. I have been seeing him for my back and neck. I had told him about my knee during one of my wellness appointments and he offered to help.

Dr. Anderson took a few x-rays of both knees, after that a quick exam of the knee and an adjustment followed by therapy. One adjustment later the pain was almost gone and my foot was in the proper position.

Dr. Anderson told me that due to the action of the injury I had rotated my knee joint out of position. After various sessions and adjustments I’m able to most everything I use to do. Before treatment I could barely walk, couldn’t climb, bend, kneel or stoop; now I can.

Give chiropractic a chance, it sure beats surgery!

I KNEW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING
Just before Halloween last year I woke up in the middle of the night in terrible pain. I couldn’t get comfortable at all. I got up and felt the pain all the way down my right leg. It was bad enough that I thought about the emergency room. I found a comfortable position, but only for short periods, in the fetal position. I dozed off with my legs tucked under me only to wake up not feeling either foot. I suffered through bringing my daughters to school, called into work and I knew I had to do something.

I FEEL STRONGER AND MY BALANCE IS BACK
I had severe left groin pain which came on gradually. It started aching and then became sharp. I wasn’t sure how it started. The pain was severe when I moved my leg in a certain position. At times, my balance was off. Also, I was coming out of a friends apartment and I missed a step. I had sprained my right ankle. I could hardly walk and when I coughed the pain would become worse. I decided to go to my doctor to see if I pulled a muscle or if it was a possible hernia. They took x-rays and then told me that it was arthritis. The only thing they did for me was gave me an ankle brace and told me to wear it for 6 weeks.

I had been to Dr. Anderson for a previous condition, so I decided to give him a call about this one. He continued the treatment that I was on (realigning my spine) and then he also started to treat my ankle.

Dr. Anderson has helped my ankle and groin pain. He was able to minimize the pain in the beginning and now it’s gone. My ankle feels stronger and I have my balance back. I don’t have to wear a brace anymore His practice of chiropractic has gotten rid of my pain. I have movement now in my neck and shoulders that I haven’t had in years.

My medical doctor wasn’t able to help me. I recommend seeing Dr. Anderson, he knows how to rid pain and get you back on your feet!

MY KNEES ARE PAIN FREE
My knee had been hurting for several weeks and my children thought it might be a blood clot so I went to the walk-in clinic. The doctor there told me I had bursitis and to take two Aleve a day for a week. This didn’t help.
I have been a patient of Dr. Anderson’s for many years and when I came in for my wellness visit I told him about my knee. Dr. Anderson took x-rays and told me he could help me.
I am very happy with the progress I have made and I am now pain free.
I can do everyday activities again.
Please do not suffer if you are in pain because Dr. Anderson can and will help to relieve it. He has helped me tremendously!
PS
MY CARE WAS PHENOMENAL! I had severe lower back and left knee pain. I hurt myself at work when I tried to pull back on a crate that was too heavy for me. I couldn’t stand up straight or sit comfortably and could barely walk. I tried ice and heat packs to get some relief.
Three years ago a friend of mine told me she went to Dr. Anderson and that he had helped her enormously. I went to see Dr Anderson. He examined me, tested me, took x-rays and showed me what was going on. Dr Anderson explained that it wouldn’t happen over night, but he thought through a series of adjustments he would get me on my feet again.
Within the first week I was able to get in my car and drive to my appointments. That doesn’t seem like much, but considering the pain I was in that was a major step. After that it was a series of adjustments to my back and knee to get me back to where I was before the injury. Comparing how I was when I first barely walked into Dr Anderson’s office to how I am now is nothing short of phenomenal. I’ve since gone back to doing everything I did before. I work out regularly and play golf as often as I can without pain. Plus, Dr Anderson gave me education on how to prevent any future injury.
In my opinion, if you have a problem that can be helped with Chiropractic, you can’t do better then Dr. Anderson and his staff. They got me back on my feet again and they will do the same for you. RW  I NEVER BELIEVED IN CHIROPRACTORS! I never believed in chiropractors. One time I was having some back problems a number of years back and my friend Elsie told me to go see her doctor, Dr. Anderson, who is a chiropractor. But I said “no I don’t believe in chiropractors, I’m not going,” but she insisted. So I went to see him and he helped me. I changed my mind. I now believe in chiropractors.  Well, I have no idea how it happened. All of a sudden my left knee started hurting really bad. I had difficulty in bed sleeping, I had difficulty getting into a car and I had to grab my leg just above the knee to lift it up so I could put it in the car with the rest of me. I also had a lot of difficulty getting out of a chair. This was because at times the pain in my left knee was unbearable.  And that is why I decided to come and see Dr. Anderson. I did go on to get rid of this problem. Dr. Anderson had helped me in the past several times with spine related problems so I though of him because I though he might be able to help with my knee as well.  When I came in to see Dr. Anderson he did an dexamination of an x-ray of my knees. He said that I had arthritis in my knee and that he could help me. I heard a loud crack in my knee the first time he adjusted it. There was some immeditae relief. After 2 treatments, the relief lasted for a longer period of time. And then it continually kept getting better after each treatment until it was gone.  I know that if I had gone someplace else the first thing that I would have gotten was some perscription. So, I am happy that I did not have to take any drugs or maybe have to go through a knee replacement.  Before I could only go up stairs one foot at a time. Now I don’t even think about it. Yesterday I was shoveling in the garden and I also cut my grass with no problem.   If you are having knee problems, my advice is go and see Dr. Anderson. Maybe he can help you like he helped me.  And by the way, I am 79 years old! DT

Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist and, Hand Pain

I DROVE 240 MILES ROUND TRIP
I just woke up with pain one morning and it progressively got worse. My pain started under my left shoulder blade extending down into my left arm and it worsened to where I couldn’t stand it. I thought the pain might go away but it didn’t. I hurt; there wasn’t really a position that relieved my pain. The only position that helped was holding my arm up over my head. Can’t do that all day. Driving was extremely painful. I couldn’t even sleep, because no matter what position I would lay in it would hurt. I tried aspirin but it never really did anything to help. I thought about seeing a medical doctor, but I thought I would call Dr. Anderson first, and if he told me to go see one I would then.

I did wait several days before calling Dr. Anderson, who I knew from years ago, at least 10 years, which I hadn’t seen for quite some time. Dr. Anderson asked me what hurt and how it hurt. I told him it felt like a knife going into my arm. He examined me and started adjusting me. Dr. Anderson told me I had a pinched nerve in my back that was causing the pain.

My progress is great. The pain is just about gone. I fix a lot of farm machinery and make service calls. I can now drive down the road without hurting and don’t feel like I need to cry anymore from the pain. And I drove to Richland Center, Wisconsin, yesterday (about 240 miles round trip) and I actually enjoyed it.

I recommend you try Dr. Anderson, if you have this type of problem. It sure worked for me!

M.K.

After an x-ray and “wrist adjustment” and follow up visits, my wrist has been feeling pain free. I am confident that my wrist is now healed or healthier.

I am swinging a golf club often, again. There is NO pain during or after a round of golf. That is how I measured Dr. Anderson’s success.

Thanks Doc!

DON’T WAIT TO LONG LIKE ME
I was having elbow pain for about a year or so. It started by hitting my elbows and picking up cheese at work and working on a farm and my home. I had tried using an arm brace, heating pad and an ice pack to relieve some of the pain, but it didn’t help much. I also took Ibuprofen and Tylenol. I’d take anywhere from 500 to 1800 mgs. every other day.

One day I went to pick up my wife at Dr. Anderson’s office. She and I have been long time patients. I had mentioned about my elbows so he told me he wanted me to schedule an appointment so he could take a look at it. So, I scheduled my appointment and during the appointment he took some x-rays and did an exam on me. He said that my elbow was locked and that he could help. He adjusted the elbow and did some therapy on it as well.

Before I came in for my elbow I was losing grip and it seemed that everything I did caused me pain. After three treatments I am already doing better and taking Tylenol only as needed. I can work with less pain in doing little things around the house, some big things too. I dug a 25 foot trench and laid conduit from my house to my garage this weekend and there is no way I could have done that before I got my elbows adjusted.

Don’t wait too long like me to go in and get the problem taken care of. It takes about 15 minutes to a half hour to find out what the problem is and then Dr. Anderson will treat you and fix it!

THE GOLDEN YEARS ARE BACK
I was tired of living with pain. The golden years weren’t treating me very well. Osteoarthritis was only part of my problems. I was not walking without the help of a walker. I couldn’t raise my right arm without a lot of pain. I needed help just putting my jacket on.
The rotator cuff problem started in April of 2007 when I was in a nursing home after having back surgery. I grabbed backwards to prevent myself from slipping on a pool of liquid. I was treating the rotator cuff problem with Bio-Freeze, cold and warm compresses. On a visit to my primary care doctor I asked the office girl to give me names of chiropractors in the area. She gave me 2 names and I picked Dr. Anderson. I also needed neck adjustments and low back help due to arthritis in my back.
On the first visit to Dr. Anderson’s office, he did an examination and took X-rays. At first he recommended I see him daily. Within the first week I was beginning to raise my arm up high. My neck was also feeling much better.
As I progressed I was able to cut my visits down to 3 times a week and then 2 times a week. Now I see Dr. Anderson on a 3 week interval. I continue to raise my right arm up with only an occasional twinge of pain. I can get my shirts and jacket on without help.
My family feels I am walking better on my own although I still use the walker to keep me from falling. They have remarked how well I can get my cardigan and jacket on all by myself. Also, they have said that I seldom complain of any pain at all and I am able to do more things for myself.
Do not wait to go to your chiropractor in hopes home treatment will help. To be pain free is bliss and long overdue in trying to do home remedies.

I have been seeing Dr. Anderson for monthly maintenance on my spine. On one visit I was wearing a brace on my wrist. He asked me what was wrong with my wrist. I told him my wrist has been painful recently. (I had broken bones in my wrist from two separate accidents many years ago.) He asked me if he could look at it. I was hopeful that he would ask that very question.
After an x-ray and “wrist adjustment” and follow up visits, my wrist has been feeling pain free. I am confident that my wrist is now healed or healthier.
I am swinging a golf club often, again. There is NO pain during or after a round of golf. That is how I measured Dr. Anderson’s success.
Thanks Doc!
Sincerely,
RH

ELBOW PAIN WAS HOLDING ME BACK
I was having elbow pain for about a year or so. It started by hitting my elbows and picking up cheese at work and working on a farm and my home. I had tried using an arm brace, heating pad and an ice pack to relieve some of the pain, but it didn’t help much. I also took Ibuprofen and Tylenol. I’d take anywhere from 500 to 1800 mgs. every other day.
One day I went to pick up my wife at Dr. Anderson’s office. She and I have been long time patients. I had mentioned about my elbows so he told me he wanted me to schedule an appointment so he could take a look at it. So, I scheduled my appointment and during the appointment he took some x-rays and did an exam on me. He said that my elbow was locked and that he could help. He adjusted the elbow and did some therapy on it as well.
Before I came in for my elbow I was losing grip and it seemed that everything I did caused me pain. After three treatments I am already doing better and taking Tylenol only as needed. I can work with less pain in doing little things around the house, some big things too. I dug a 25 foot trench and laid conduit from my house to my garage this weekend and there is no way I could have done that before I got my elbows adjusted.
Don’t wait too long like me to go in and get the problem taken care of. It takes about 15 minutes to a half hour to find out what the problem is and then Dr. Anderson will treat you and fix it!

MY PITCHING DAYS WERE OVER
I am throwing harder and faster then ever thanks to Dr. Anderson. I am a college baseball player and I injured my elbow my freshmen year pitching for Marian University. My elbow was very painful and bruised. I was sent to the trainers and they in turn sent me to see a well know sports doctor. My elbow was x-rayed and I was told to rest it and follow up with the doctor. After some time I was sent to try physical therapy.

The injury took place in the fall of 2007 so I had some months to get it back in shape before baseball season would start again. I faithfully did my physical therapy and followed up with the doctor but I was not getting better. I had to grey shirt for the 2008 season. I was told that I probably would not pitch again. Hitting was also out of the question. I also play outfield so that wasn’t going to work either as I would not be able to throw the ball in from out there.

I didn’t want to give up playing baseball so I turned to Dr. Anderson. After several adjustments to my elbow I felt it was getting stronger. I am back and I had a great season in 2009 and even though I don’t pitch as often, I start in the outfield every game. I am now pain free and I look forward to next season.

Thanks to Dr. Anderson I will have a few more season to play baseball. Never let someone tell you you can’t do something until you have tried all the options. Chiropractic is the answer to many things. Give it a try!

Temporal Mandibular Joint Pain-TMJ These are some stories from our patients who had been suffering with TMJ (jaw) pain.
(Individual results may vary. These accounts were obtained without renumeration and within HIPAA guidelines.)

I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED!
A lot of people go to the Chiropractor for back and neck pain. My story is a little different and I encourage anyone with TMJ or Migraine Headaches to see Dr. Anderson.

My daughter and her boyfriend are currently at Palmer College in Iowa to become Chiropractors. They were consistently telling me to go to Dr. Anderson for an adjustment and I should have listened and started with Dr. Anderson right away…read on…

This is how my trauma started…..I’m a country girl and a couple of years ago I had tripped over some steel beams with rebar exposed. It was very dark out and I fell face first on to it, jamming my jaw. I had a broken molar and immediatly called the dentist. I told him how my jaw ached and he was more concerned about the cracked molar. He fixed me up and I was good to go (I thought). I was bruised and very sore for awhile.

Weeks and months went by and more problems arose with my teeth and jaw. I was making frequent trips to the dentist. I was told that I should wear a splint. That didn’t help. The pain progressed. I diagnosed myself with TMJ. I went back to the dentist but he could not help me anymore and sent me to a specialist. I wasn’t sleeping, could barely chew, having severe headaches and couldn’t perform my work duties.

I went to the specialist and after many x-rays to find out I didn’t have TMJ. He prescribed muscle relaxers nd pain relievers (I’m not a pill person) and sent me to a physical therapist. (For my jaw???, I know, I didn’t get it either…). I went to Physical Therapy and he told me that I didn’t need it and that I had an infection in my jaw. He told me to go to my doctor. I went to my doctor and he couldn’t understand why I was there. I did not have an infection. !!! $$$$$$ later!!

I called Dr. Anderson. After just two weeks of adjustments to my jaw and neck, I couldn’t believe how much better I felt. I was sleeping and the headaches went away. Incredible!! I continue to see him and he keeps me in tip top shape. If it wasn’t for Dr. Anderson, I couldn’t have enjoyed corn on the cob and steaks on the grill this season!!!

Thank you Dr. Anderson!!!

P.S. I caught the terrible cold that’s been going around and after one adjustment from Dr. Anderson, I had relief from the stuffy head pressure!!

MY NECK PAIN WAS A RESULT OF TMJ PAIN
I have had TMJ and neck problems since the late 80′s. It was so bad that I had to eat softened cereal and things that didn’t require a lot of repetative chewing.

Towards the end of treatments for my back pain in mid March I mentioned to Dr. Anderson that I was having trouble with my jaw. It seemed like it was getting worse and I was wondering if my neck pain was causing it. Dr Anderson asked me to open my mouth as wide as I could and then to slowly close my mouth. Then he had me bend my head back and rested it on something hard. Dr. Anderson then slowly guided my jaw back and downward. Dr. Anderson confirmed that some of the pain in my neck was the result of the TMJ pain. As a result of 30 adjustments in 2 1/2 months my jaw and neck pain went from an 8 to a 2 on a scale of 1-10. Today it doesn’t hurt as much to open and close my mouth.

Always ask or mention anything that is causing you any amount of pain in the same area of your problem because you will find out just how much these areas affect each other. Be open to any treatment that may help you.

I CAN ENJOY JELLY BEANS AGAIN
I heard about Dr. Anderson during a wellness fair through my employer. I was excited to be able to see someone about my back. I have had problems with my back for years along with many headaches. I knew that seeing a chiropractor would help my back, but I didn’t realize it would help with my headaches as well.

I started seeing Dr. Anderson several times a week. I could see differences and I couldn’t believe how much stress may back was under. I noticed that when Dr. Anderson was working on my back, that my back was kind of like an onion. Once he pulled one layer of pain off another one developed. He kept on pulling layers off until now, when my back is on a high road to recovery.

Recently, at one of my appointments with Dr. Anderson, I was explaining to him how I have problems with my jaw hurting me. I could never eat anything too chewy or my jaw would start to hurt. Dr Anderson told me that he can adjust my jaw also. Well, after he adjusted my jaw a few times I can enjoy jelly beans again!

Dr. Anderson has helped me see that there is hope for my back and neck pain. Everyone at Anderson Chiropractic is very dedicated to making sure that their clients are well taken care of .

Thank you, Anderson Chiropractic for remaining confident that I can have a healthy back.

CAN ONE PROBLEM LEAD TO ANOTHER?
I have had TMJ and neck pain since the late 1980′s. I had to eat softened cereal. I had to eat foods that didn’t require a lot of repetative chewing.

I was seeing Dr. Anderson for my back problems in mid March. My TMJ problems were getting worse so I mentioned that to Dr. Anderson. I wanted to know if myneck pain could be causing my TMJ symptoms to be getting worse. At that appointment Dr. Anderson told me to open my mouth as wide as I could and then to slowly close my mouth. He leaned my head back and rested it on something hard. Dr. Anderson slowly guided my jaw back and downward. Dr. Anderson confirmed that some of the pain in my neck was the result of the TMJ problem I was having.

I had 30 adjustments in 2 1/2 months. My jaw and neck pain decreased greatly. Now it doesn’t hurt as much to open and close my mouth.

My advice is to always mention anything that is causing you any amount of pain. If the new pain you are experiencing is in the same area as the original pain be sure to mention it. You will find out just how much these areas can affect each other. Be open to any treatment that might help you.
