My name is Belena Tijerina, I am 49 yrs old and I began chiropractic care in September of 2007. I came in to see Dr. Michael Turner because I was having pain in my leg and had weakness in my ankles. Soon after beginning my care I started to feel better. Chiropractic care has changed my life, after starting my care I noticed that I was no longer having sinus problems. I was no longer having pain in my leg and my ankles were not weak. Chiropractic care WORKS!


I am a 46 year old female, I started chiropractic care in December of 2007. A friend use to come in three times a week to see the chiropractor and it always seemed to maker her feel much better. This influenced me to come in and try chiropractic care. I came in with with lower back pain that was crippling. I couldn't bend down to put on my shoes or pick up something off the floor. I was suffering. Chiropractic care changed my life, not only did it relieve the lower back pain, it relieved pain in my neck, shoulders, hips and legs that I had simply lived with for years. I am able to do more with my kids, I have more energy and get a lot more done - ALL PAIN FREE! - Liz Lewis


I began chiropractic care in December 2007, I am a 51 year old female. What influenced me to try chiropractic care was the fact that my arm was going numb while sleeping and biking. I also felt I had a "knife" in my back with extreme pain all day. My neck was in extreme pain. I was unable to sleep and could not really stand or sit without pain. Chiropractic works, I am pain free!! I am also more energetic due to the daily exercise I learned and I am sleeping through the night without any numbness. I am also more aware of my overall posture. Thank you so much Dr. Tom Sandberg, it has really changed my life. - Susan Maher


My name is Mary Bain, I am 17 years old. I started seeing Dr. Brad Holden in November of 2007, I was referred to him by Coach Newman at the Austin Tennis Academy. I sought chiropractic care because I had almost constant back pain, influencing not only my tennis game in all aspects, but also my daily life. As I began, I noticed right away improvements in the flexibility of my back and playing became much easier. The exercises that I was given and the frequent visits improved my strength as well as my back. My back feels better than ever. I testify to the truth about Chiropractic health care.


I began seeing Dr. Tom Sandberg in July of 2007, I came in to see the doctor because i was having terrible neck pain. I knew that a 27 year old shouldn't feel this way. So I finally sought help. I was having neck pain, back pain, severe headaches, my head was in a forward facing position, my left arm was numb and my hands fell asleep all the time. I also experienced restless leg syndrome (RLS) at night. After beginning treatment I started much better. I am on the healing side of care, so I expect to keep feeling better, but my headaches have 99% gone away. I use to have headaches everyday! The numbness in my arm has gone away and my hands rarely fall asleep anymore, compared to every night. my Restless Leg Syndrome is gone! My neck and back pain is receded to the point that I feel like a normal person again. I am now a lifetime member of chiropractic care!! Thanks for giving me my life back. - Amy Gilson


My family and friends promoted chiropractic care and a friend from church recommended HealthFirst. I suffered from chronic lower back pain after anything physical and stabbing pain between the shoulders at all times. Last year in 2006, I shot a deer on opening morning of deer season. By the time I skinned it, cleaned it and processed it for the freezer, I thought I had been shot in the lower back. I started chiropractic care in September of 2007 and this year for opening deer season I was ready. This year I got my deer in the freezer opening day without pain and was able to do a couple of chores around the house and that made my "dear" wife very happy. - David Degroot


My neighbor recommended I come in and see Dr. Michael Turner. I started seeing him in May of 2007. I am 70 years old and was suffering from Restless Leg Syndrome. I started care and soon began feeling much better. Today I am free of Restless Leg Syndrome. My legs are 100% better, I haven't had pain or involuntary movement in past several months. I believe in chiropractic care it truly does work. - Billie Mulanax


I started chiropractic care in June of 2007, I sought care because I had "extreme" hand and neck pain. My hands were numb and painful. I could not look up or move my neck freely. Chiropractic care changed my life, I can be my physical and mental best at work. I am a dental hygienist which is very difficult on my neck, shoulder, back and hands. I have practiced for 16 years and feel so great! I know I can practice for 16 more years! Thanks Dr. Sandberg for getting me to where I should be, In good health. - Kirsten McGee


My son Quinn of 5 months, started seeing Dr. Brad Holden in September of 2007. I have a friend in Arizona that is a chiropractor that recommended I bring him in. Quinn was really fussy as he was having problems with his digestion. He had really bad gas as well. Dr. Holden began taking care of my son and we soon started to see results. Quinn is a much happier baby. He isn't having the problems with his digestion and isn't crying like he used to prior to starting chiropractic care. - Susan Kien


My name is Louis Dye, I am 59 years old. I was influenced to try chiropractic care because I had taken pain medication for years and it had done me no good. I couldn't sit for any length of time without extreme pain in my left leg and lower back. I had no range of motion in my lower back. I couldn't turn to look over my shoulder. Since I started chiropractic care i can sit for long periods, drive long distances without pain in my legs. I can even turn to look for traffic. I'm sleeping all night without leg pain and can even sleep on my side which I have not been able to do for many years. Chiropractic Works!
