COLETTE'S STORY
DECEMBER 12, 2016
"When I came, I was in a very difficult state. I could not walk properly. I did not know what to do, and my quality of life was becoming less and less. And so I came here.
I was able to have a treatment very, very fast. The first three weeks I did not see too much difference and I was starting to feel more and more anxious, but Dr. Payne explained it to me and showed it to me. He's really professional and I'm able to communicate with him. I was getting better, and improving.
I'm starting my six months now and I'll be coming just once a week and I don't have any pain. I can do mostly all of the things I used to do before. I'm really grateful for all of the services I've had here."

CARMEL'S STORY
THEN
“I've had a history of health problems and injuries including a diagnosis of lupus erythematosus in my 20's, psoriatic arthritis in my 40's, and struck by cars on two separate occasions. These resulted in a great deal of limitation in my mobility as well as being on several different medications for many, many years.”
NOW
“I've been a patient for over 15 years and this has helped me maintain my mobility to the extent that I walk a great deal, year-round. On several occasions I've even walked all the way home from downtown – a 3-hour jaunt! I've also gone off all my medications except one! When I feel a cold coming on, the first place I head is to my chiropractor as he can open up my airways and relieve sinus pressure which precludes me from taking the usual cold/flu over-the-counter medications.”
JOHN'S STORY
THEN
“Due to an accident I sustained years ago, my back pain and continued flare-ups (at least once a month) were unbearable at times. My posture was poor, my weight was at an all time high, and I wasn't able to get a good night's sleep as I was always uncomfortable. I still played sports, but frequently sat games out due to back pain. There was always a fear of how my back problems would progress later on in my life.”
NOW
“Through the chiropractic care I've been receiving here, my back flare-ups have drastically reduced to a couple per year, my posture is improving, I'm playing sports and working out at the gym which in turn has reduced my body weight and has strengthened my lower back. I'm able to sleep comfortably through the night which has done wonders for my state of mind. But best of all, I'm able to enjoy playing with my children without the fear of putting out my back with every moment, and that means the world to me.
MEL'S STORY
THEN
“Over a period of five years, pain in my low back got progressively worse. I had to stop running – something I love; I couldn't sleep on my left side of my back; my range of motion was visibly restrained; being on my feet for more than an hour was painful; driving was becoming more uncomfortable and shoveling snow simply out of the question. My MD recommended safe lifting procedures, some exercises and anti-inflammatory medication when the pain was too severe. My bouts of pain only grew stronger and lasted longer with each flare up.”
NOW
“In spite of my skepticism of chiropractic care, I did my research and took the 'plunge'. I walked out of my first adjustment feeling better and even more relaxed. I chalked this up to the psychosomatic syndrome except, one year later I can sleep on either side and on my back. I can now remain on my feet for hours on end without difficulty, no more back pain when I drive and lift heavy objects without any issues. Cheers to chiropractic care! That bottle of anti-inflammatory medication in my medicine cabinet is still full!”
THE JESIONKA FAMILY
THEN
“Our family was suffering from a variety of health problems and symptoms including excruciating arm pain, extreme difficulty sleeping, chronic headaches, slouching posture, pains in the chest and severe muscle pains in the legs.”
NOW
“After 5 years of care, the issues we came in with are gone, with the exception of the occasional headache. We feel great and now get adjusted to maintain our health. We praise God for Dr. Payne!"
