Patient Testimonials

January 2006 found me at a crossroads.  For several months I had been forced to curtail my golf, tennis, and workouts while my doctors worked to diagnose the cause of numbness in my right hand and painful knots in my upper back.  I attended physical therapy and tried prescribed drugs which were of no help.  Finally, an MRI revealed the cause- a cervical bone spur pressuring a nerve.  Surgical removal and repair was recommended about which I was very ambivalent.  Granted, I was in a good deal of discomfort and wanted to get back in action, but the idea of a surgical solution which included a bone graft and a titanium plate in my neck seemed like overkill.  I desperately wanted to explore less invasive solutions.  My friend Bill suggested that I consult with Dr. Kiser at University Chiropractic before moving ahead.  I met with Dr. Kiser in March and she thought chiropractic care coupled with daily stretching exercises might offer relief.  I committed to a trial period of three appointments a weeks for a month.  While some numbness in my fingertips remained, the pain in my back began to show noticeable improvement.  By July I was back on the golf course and in the gym without debilitating consequences.  I decided to put surgery on hold in favor of ongoing chiropractic adjustments which has allowed me to cope with y bone spur issues and to resume an active life.  Eighteen months later, I remain a regular at University Chiropractic.  In fact, I look forward to my visits.  The office staff and Dr. Kiser are always welcoming, good humored, and optimistic.  The care has been skillful an effective.  Best of all, my lifestyle has been considerably improved without going under the knife.

How Chiropractic care has helped me- at University Chiropractic- to be 85% out of my pain physically and 70% mentally.  The ladies have treated me with so much respect; that I am truly grateful for.  They have helped me socially to understand I must take care of myself before others; guided me away from the need or want of using alcohol and marijuana as a means of masking my pain and to point me into a positive direction to better myself to becoming the beautiful soft woman my father could not teach me to be.  I have become a much better Mother & Friend to myself.  I have really had to dig deep into my heart to be very honest and to be able to let go of a lot of guilt and pain.  Stress was really killing me.  I am looking towards a much brighter and enjoyable future now.  I am walking, exercising and holding my head up higher that I ever have- they have brought bright light and peace into my soul.  I am eating better and taking time out for me finally - 43 years it has taken me to see this.  I breathe now and I don't sleep curled up in a ball.  They have helped me hope for Power, Greatness, and new Love and Grace.  Respect and responsibility is my ultimate goal for my well being.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I had suffered with bad neck and back pain for many years.  My regular doctor always gave me pain meds and a few exercises.  They were a Band-Aid and not all that effective.  One day at the 'A la Carte' Festival in Mountain View, I decided to give the spinal evaluation a try.  I came in for my x-rays and evaluation and was told my neck had been out of place for as long as 10 years!  No wonder it was painful.  My job requires lots of lifting and quick movements which can add extra pressure.  Dr. Kiser and her staff made me feel comfortable right away.  Their professionalism and caring attitude is evident from the first meeting.  It has now been 2 1/2 months of my year long care plan to correct the problem that had been so crippling!  My fears were overcome by the wonderful staff and especially Dr. Kiser's manner which makes you feel at ease and relaxed so there is no fear involved.  I'm hooked on Chiropractic and hope to have friends and family join the excitement.
