A CHIRO SUCCESS STORY!!!!






Chiropractic Success Story

by Tanya M....................






I have been visiting a chiropractor for over 20 years. When I was 18 I had the first of 3 car accidents within 4 years (no seat belt) and had whiplash, intense neck and back pain as a result. I have also experienced much TMJ pain and many migraine headaches throughout my 20s and 30s. I am a computer programmer so I am working on a computer over 30 hours per week, plus taking care of my 6- and 3-year-old children.

I have seen a much bigger improvement in the past 6 months after seeing Dr. Parker. In large part, I attribute this to the posture program that he initiated, along with short-term increased visits. My jaw pain has decreased significantly (from pain 2-3 days a week, down to pain 2-3 days a month). I also experience dramatically fewer headaches, less neck strain, and a feeling of improved posture where before I was frustrated about my rounded shoulders and inability to improve posture on my own.

I try to take care of myself, stay in shape, and have worked on learning how to manage stress and other relaxation techniques. But Dr. Parker provided the missing piece that I needed…working on the physical problems that kept me in pain.

Thank you so much!! My quality of life is improved, I am no longer in “chronic pain” and I am SO grateful. Now if we could just get some of my family members in here …






Since this writing, Tanya's sister and mother have both become patients at our clinic. We are happy to report that everyone is doing well!

How Does Stress Affect YOU?



Stress has been with us since the beginning of time. Today, the stress of work, personal conflicts, family and the demands on time and money, take a tremendous toll on our health. It might surprise you that your feelings of stress might have nothing to do with the actual stress in your life. Poor posture, prolonged sitting, an old injury or an accident can lead to spinal stress. Muscle tension and chronic pain can cause nervousness and irritability.

For some people, it's an upset stomach. Others may experience muscle stiffness, recurring headaches or back pain. Some may respond with nervous twitches or allergic reactions. Regardless of your particular response, the function of your nervous system is involved. Chiropractic care can be so helpful for this.

The Chiropractic approach to stress is to help normalize the function of your nervous system by removing interferences caused by the Vertebral Subluxation Complex or spinal joint dysfunction. Finding the "weak links" in your spine, which is the major communication path of your nervous system, will help restore better function and can make a huge difference in your response to stress.


It may not be possible to remove the stress from your busy life, but with Dr Parker's help you can certainly respond better to the challenges you face each day


For the rest of this month, a New Patient visit is reduced to ONLY $60..........this will include doctor consult, exam, xrays, report of findings and your first treatment. This is a $210 value so hurry in and take advantage. Current patients, I am sure, know of someone (family member, co-worker, friend) who could benefit from chiropractic care. At this price, who can afford to NOT take care of their health! Call today for more information or to make an appt. 813-254-5200
