Here At Health From Within, we believe the best way for you to learn more about what chiropractic may be able to do for you is to hear success stories from some of our current patients, in their own words. We treat patients who have a wide variety of health challenges and we felt that it would be helpful to you if we arranged their comments in relation to the health problems they had been struggling with at the time they began treatment in our offices.

Accidents & InjuriesKathy

“I have been under care for almost 4 years”

My name is Kathy and I began care after I was in a car accident and I had neck pain. At its worst, I would cry just sitting up, and just breathing made it hurt. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t function on any level.  I wasn’t able to interact with my kids. I had been to a chiropractor previously, but I would only go when I was feeling bad. One time I was on vacation, and I had to hunt down a chiropractor because I had a bad flare up. I did not want that to ever happen again. I told myself I would find a chiropractor at home that I would go to regularly. Then I was in the car accident, and I had to do something. I went to a medical doctor and they handed me prescriptions for muscle relaxers and pain relievers. I never filled the prescriptions; I was too nervous about what they would do to me. Since beginning care here I have never gotten to the point were I couldn’t move again. I have been under care for almost 4 years. I might get some pain occasionally, but it never gets where I can’t function. I have also noticed that I no longer have the minor lower back pain that I used to get. I am much more conscious of my children’s spine and nervous system. I make sure they lift things properly, sit straight, and I have started my oldest son under care also after seeing his x-ray. The one thing that has motivated me to keep on track with my care is knowing that I never want to be in a position were I can’t function. I don’t want my children to experience that either. The office is flexible with my schedule if I need to change an appointment. I work and have children and it is nice to know that I do not have to plan half a day to spend at the office. I am in and out in about 10 minutes.

ADHD & ADD
matt

“It feels good to not be on medications, and it feels good to know my health is being well taken care of with adjustments and good advice!”

I began chiropractic care because I was taking medications for ADHD and having bad side effects.  This had been going on for about 4 year. During that time that I was on medication I gained excessive weight, developed tics, had trouble sleeping, and trouble with social situations.  I had been taking Paxil, Zyprexa, Depokote, Adderol, and I developed bad side effects. 

Since starting care I no longer take any medication and I feel good about myself.  I have no symptoms any longer.  It has been wonderful no longer taking any meds.  I lost the weight that I gained from the drugs, and I behave much better.  It feels good to not be on medications, and it feels good to know my health is being well taken care of with adjustments and good advice.

Allergies, Athsma & Sinused

“I was suffering from asthma and allergies until my wife convinced me to give chiropractic care a try.”

I had been suffering from allergies and asthma.  I also had pain in my neck and lower back.  I would wake up with stiff necks.  There were two instances at work that I felt my back go out and there was sharp pain.  When my asthma was at its worst I wouldn’t be able to breathe and would end up at the emergency room.  When I was a kid I received shots for reactions.  I played baseball as a child and my asthma got in the way.  I couldn’t run or swim without losing my breath. 

I was skeptical of chiropractors before beginning care.  My wife was coming for her migraines.  I would come with her and I began to learn more about chiropractic care through my visits with her.   After she saw results of her own, she pressured me to give it a try.  My opinions now have definitely changed.  Before beginning care, I saw an allergist.  I did not see any results.  I felt like all they did was try different drugs and shots, and when those didn’t work they wanted to perform expensive x-rays of my nose since they couldn’t figure out my problem. 

My allergies have gotten better.  My neck is improved and I do not suffer from lower back pain.  My asthma is now only seasonal.  I have noticed that my hips seem straighter and my posture has improved since beginning care. [back to top]

Anxiety & Panic Attacksmarie

“I have not had a panic attack in the last 3 months.”

My name is Marie Busca and I began chiropractic care because I was having irritable bowel syndrome and nausea for many, many years as well as having an anxiety condition for most of my life.  At its worst the nausea was pretty chronic.  I experienced it at least once a day for months on end.  The anxiety was really bad.  I had daily panic attacks.  It was a condition that was there 24/7.  I had previously gone to a chiropractor for pain, but it only helped temporarily, and it didn’t help my anxiety or irritable bowels.  I have also tried counseling for the anxiety for many years, but it did not help.  Medications were suggested for both conditions, but I chose not to take them.  Since beginning care, I have not had a panic attack in the last 3 months.  The anxiety seems very minimal now, and I have not had any digestive problems.  I have also noticed that I now feel more confident, more energetic, and happier.  My life just seems better.  I am thrilled to death that I came here because my life is just looking brighter.[back to top]

Arthritis

“When I first started here, Dr. Ochsner, had to help me sit up from thetable,and now I am able to sit up on  my own!”

The reason we began care was because we attended an arthritis support group, and Dr. Ochsner was a speaker. He said that if you are in alignment, and everything is firing like it should then you might feel better. That made a lot of sense to me. My husband Jim came to the group as a supportive partner, and after he heard Dr. Ochsner speak he said that this is something that I should try.  Jim also was checked out and started care.

Linda:  My pain was at a point where I became very immobile in terms of sitting, and easily rising getting out of bed. This was to a point that I was very concerned about it, particularly my knees, my lower back, and my neck.
I had absolutely no previous attitude or experience with chiropractic before we started care.   We didn’t know too much about it. 
Jim:   I experienced low back pain in the past, and I was treated by an orthopedic surgeon.  He injected me with a cortisone shot, and that worked perfect for a while, but I knew I was just covering up the problem. 
Linda:  Since beginning care I have noticed that I am able to move more freely, and my neck isn’t as restricted as much as it used to be. When I first started here,  Dr. Ochsner had to help me sit up from the table, and now I am able to sit up on my own now. I feel like I’m doing something for myself, which in the past with the family and working, I didn’t do a lot for myself.  I feel like this is something that can do to try to help my arthritic condition, and to stay healthy and keep messages sent accurately from my brain to my body. It makes me feel good to do something for me. 
Jim:  I have seen a mass improvement in Linda’s stance. I used to tell her to stand up straight, and that her shoulders were out of line.  Now, I think that the alignment is a lot better.  I have also noticed that my regularity in my bowels has increased dramatically.  I know it’s not a subject most people like to talk about, but it certainly has helped in that area.

The office is really nice. The atmosphere is very peaceful, and it’s just like family. Everyone is very nice, and we are very happy that we took that next step. [back to top]

Autism & Autistic Spectrum Disorders

“We know that without Chiropractic, I would not be where I am today.”

I began Chiropractic care because I had very little verbal skills, my physical abilities were very limited, and I had very poor eating habits. At its worst, it was very difficult for others to communicate with me, I showed very little interest in social life, gave no eye contact whatsoever, and sometimes I would get very frustrated and just shut down. My mom said she would have never thought it would help. I had been to over twenty doctors, everyone from neurology to cardiology. No doctor ever had an answer for anything.  My mom thanks God that I have never been on any medication, because she did not believe in medicine. She said that when she thought of Chiropractic, she thought of old people, back problems, bone problems and things of that nature. We never thought about the spine and nervous system operating the whole body. My mom says that I am now operating as a whole, and my head is much straighter now. 

I’ve been in OT and PT before, but neither seemed to help me as much as Chiropractic has.  My mom says that I am very happy to come here and I am energized after having an adjustment. When I see things I want I reach for them, I point to them, I try to sound out words and I am more social. I go to the bathroom on my own now, I go to birthday parties for my friends, and I even eat more!  No more toothpick look for me!  I am now going into the regular first grade, I am communicating with picture books at school, and I sit down at playtime socializing with others. I also raise my hand to answer questions.  There are a great number of side benefits I have also gained as a result of Chiropractic.  I have become more independent which makes it easier for my mom at home. I try to help out at home, and I try to get things if someone asks me to help them.  In the past, I would not even acknowledge if someone was speaking to me. After my heart surgery my mom was not sure if I lost any oxygen, because my verbal was gone after that.  I used to be a shell of a child. Now I jump around, I sing, and I play. 

I am so happy that Barbara referred my mother to this office. We know that if Chiropractic were not in my life, I would not be where I am today.

“Since starting chiropractic care, Joey is more verbal, he runs better,hesleeps better, his overall attitude is better.”

My son’s name is Joey and he began chiropractic care after I heard Dr. Ochsner speak at a conference about one of his patients named John. John’s story was inspiring because he is a little boy who was diagnosed with autism, and saw great changes in his life after being under chiropractic care. My son Joey was also diagnosed as autistic. At its worst, the affects of Joey’s autism were very demanding and stressful on the family. Joey was very hyper, and wasn’t sleeping at night. He was very irritable. He loved to run, but was not able to run very well. It was like his body was deformed when he would run. Joey also had severe constipation. I used to have to give him enemas on a regular basis. Joey had been to neurologist, gastroenterologist, and psychiatrists, and saw a little progress with some medications. Since starting chiropractic care, Joey is more verbal, he runs better, he sleeps better, his overall attitude is better. I have noticed that he is less jumpy and can concentrate for longer periods of time. Joey can actually interact and be social with people. I never thought going to a chiropractor would help Joey with his bowels, but he is almost normal now. I no longer have to give him enemas or other medication for his bowels. The people here are great. You all are like family to us. Joey talks about the office and staff at home all the time. [back to top]

“He is more aware of his environment, instead of being inside of his brain all the time.”

Our names are Pamela, Amy and Daniel. We primarily came searching for answers for Daniel, for his attention span and autism symptoms. We were looking for natural ways to help him. He was diagnosed with PDD at Little Fronts in Naperville.That’s all they do there is diagnose. We have tried everything. With other care providers we had tried supplements and vitamins and he wasn’t getting any results. He was actually getting more aggressive. The office was not giving us any direction other than “give him these.” He was way more hyper also. He has done occupational therapy through school, and seen good results with that. He still receives OT and continues to see results. Then I saw Dr. O do a presentation at Parkview Church. It was regarding natural approaches to ADD /ADHD. Since beginning care here his attention span has definitely increased, more general awareness, more concentration. Socially we are also seeing a lot more improvements. He interacts with his sister more, and he asks more questions. He is more aware of his environment, instead of being inside of his brain all the time.  His aide has recently noticed a difference as well. We do not want to put him on any type of drugs, so we continue to do all we can to keep this progressing. Dr. O has seen great improvements in his neck x-rays. Now we are also meeting with Robyn here to talk about the nutritional aspects of his health. We know this is a process, and have been encouraged by the effects we have seen so far. So, we continue to keep going along.  We have all begun to look at our nutrition differently as we try to support the changes for Daniel.  We all watch the intake of food dyes and additives now. This is a great natural approach.  We are seeing great progress, and hope it continues.  [back to top]

“We started to see more productive things happen once he was under chiropractic care.”

My name is Desiree Rinehart and this is my son Dylan Rinehart. Dylan is on the autism spectrum and before chiropractic we did a lot of biomedical intervention. It seemed like it got us to really good places but we started to see more things happen that were more productive once we started him under chiropractic care. Scarily enough we were told that Dylan would not be able to function in a regular classroom, that he would always need special education. We were actually told not to waste money on alternative care. That he was always gong to need care in the future. Now, he is actually main stream in four classes. He is doing remarkable well. He is communicating much more; he is seeking the attention of other people, outside the family which he wouldn’t do before. His speech has just gone through the roof! Chiropractic care is probably the most amazing things we have come in contact with. I know we would not be where we are today without it. Absolutely everyone needs chiropractic care and I just didn’t realize that until I brought my son here. Maximized Living is a way of life. It’s the way everyone should live in this toxic world.  [back to top]

“His father and I now have hope, we will beat Autism, and Trevor will be in a regular classroom.”

My name is Cindy and my son is Trevor, and before chiropractic, we were
at a stand still. Trevor has Autism, and we had tried everything including homeopathy. With each thing we tried, he got a little better, but the progress was not fast enough. We tried Casein free, dairy free diets, a form of acupuncture, supplementation, and chelation. We didn’t think that the results were enough.  With chiropractic, we have been given hope. His father and I now have hope we will beat Autism, and Trevor will be in a regular classroom. We are on the road to healing. I have no doubt that with chiropractic he will improve, and I am certain he will get were we expect him to be. He recently started riding his bike out of the blue. In the past he couldn’t concentrate long enough to do it. [back to top]

Bed Wetting

“Since beginning chiropractic care, I have stopped wetting the bed and my back feels a lot better!”

My reason for beginning chiropractic care was because of back pains, headaches, and bed-wetting. My headaches would make me feel sick.  Also, I would not sleep over anywhere and some nights I slept without sheets. Since beginning chiropractic care, I have stopped wetting the bed and my back feels a lot better. I also feel better when I sleep. Regina Palvas referred me to this office and I love it here! [back to top]

Blood Pressure

“Becoming “well” and “energized” has definitely given me a more positive attitude and has increased my patience.”

I was suffering from pain in my lower back, neck, and upper arms. The pain was continuous for 6-8 months. I could not get out of bed or a chair without a lot of pain and effort due to lower back pain. I could not lift or reach for anything without a lot of pain and a groan. I was very tired and had no energy because I had pain with every movement. I was spending a lot of time on the couch.

I tried two previous chiropractors and both of them used machines. They were very expensive and I had to stop when bills got out of reach. The problem always returned and I became skeptical and leery about seeing another chiropractor. I was getting a massage from Heather Malahy and she suggested I visit Dr. Ochsner.

I am now just about pain-free in my lower back and arms. I am able to move freely, and have increased the strength and mobility in my arms. I have enough energy to complete my daily tasks, golf, and exercise. Becoming “well” and “energized” has definitely given me a more positive attitude and has increased my patience (with others). I have always been very impatient and nervous and chiropractic has helped to just “enjoy” more of life. My blood pressure has also been high and it is finally returning to normal.

The doctor and staff are very pleasant, friendly, efficient, and always helpful. It is a pleasure to go there and the wait is never long, that is important to me because I am always busy.

“Since starting care I sleep much better, I have less pain, and I take less of my medication.”

I had started chiropractic care because I had a lot of pain in between my shoulder blades and also in the back of my head. At its worse I had a constant pain that would not go away, I couldn’t sleep at night and that would cause me to get tired easily. I had never gone to a chiropractor prior to coming here but I have many family members who have gone to chiropractors and liked it.

I had met the Health From Within team at the 2006 Diabetes Walk and thought I would come in. I have not done anything in the past for my pain; I am using chiropractic as a preventative to my pain getting any worse. I get physicals every year and I had one around the time of starting care. The results were that I had high blood pressure, my blood sugar was high, and I had high cholesterol.  I had a follow up in January and they reported back stating that my blood sugar is back to normal, same with my cholesterol, and my blood pressure has gone down. Aside from my cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure all going down, I have noticed that I sleep much better, I haven’t been in much pain, I am taking less medication and I feel so much better. I am more alert, and my range of motion has improved. I love this place, the setup and atmosphere. It is like a big family when I come in and I recommend this to everybody.

Childhood Illness

I started chiropractic care because I had stomachaches and back aches. When the pains were at their worst, I could barely do anything. I didn’t want to go to school or play sports because I was in too much pain. My medical doctors put me on a non-dairy diet to help my stomachache but it didn’t help. Since I began my chiropractic care my stomach aches and backaches are a lot better, and I don’t have allergies anymore. I used to take allergy medication every morning, and I do not have to take it anymore.

“After starting care, my nose isn’t as stuffy, my throat is not swollen, and my mom says my attitude is better!”

Depression

“I never dreamed that an office like this was out there.”

My name is Debbie and I began chiropractic care for severe pain in my neck, back and shoulders. At its worst, it was so bad that I was depressed, irritable and I did not want to leave the house. It affected how I was able to interact with my kids. I had tried tons of different medications before I came here. I would see temporary results if I took the medications. The pain would leave and come back. I did this for years. Since I began care here, I am no longer depressed. I am happy and actually want to do things with the kids. I am off all the pain medications as well as sleep medications. I had been taking both of them just to get through the pain on a daily basis. I have more energy and I am also losing weight since I began care. I found this office through a friend that referred me. I never dreamed that an office like this was out there. I am treated like a person; like a part of a family when I come. The staff is actually concerned about me and my well-being. The support I receive through my care is remarkable. I have never been treated like this anywhere else.

Disc Problems

“I have been under care for almost 5yrs…I plan on continuing to maintain my health.”

My name is Stanley and I began care for a herniated disc in my lower back. At its worst, I had to use a walker just to get into the office with the help of my wife. I went to see my medical doctor, and they recommended surgery, but I did not want to have surgery if I could help it. I also tried pain medications. The medication did not work. I would take the pills, but I was still in pain. My wife saw an ad for this office and said I should give chiropractic a try. After about 3 weeks, I did not need to use my walker anymore, and the pain was much better. I am able to work and do the things that I enjoy now that I am healthy. After continued care, the pain was finally gone and has not returned. I have been under care for almost 5yrs now, and I plan on continuing to maintain my health. I do not ever want to be in the position I was in when I first came to the office again.

“Since starting care I have not had an ear infection yet!”

My name is Amanda and I started care because I would get ear infections quite often.  At one time I had an infection in both of my ears and to me it sounded like I had my head in a bucket of water all day.  It was really hard to hear and a lot of times it became really painful.  This is my first experience with a chiropractor and to be honest I really didn’t know what they did or even why they did it.
Since starting Chiropractic care I have not had an ear infection yet!  I never really realized this until someone else shared their story with me, but I am more balanced and not as clumsy as I used to be!  I know that I am not the only one to experience but I am having more bowel movements without the help of a fiber supplement or laxative.  I thought that I would have to of taken fiber-Con for the rest of my life.  Guess what-not anymore!
Dr. Abby’s office is very family oriented and personable with a great atmosphere that makes everyone feel welcome.

“I have only had one ear infection in the last 5 months!”

I started chiropractic care because I had 6 ear infections in the first 6 months of my life.  I refused to eat or sleep unless if I was being held by my mom or dad. The past treatments and results consisted of going to the doctor and them giving me an antibiotic and then within 2 weeks my ear infections would be back.  No matter what the doctors would give me my ear infections would always come back.  My family members were skeptical of Chiropractic and my mom had gone to a Chiropractor before and didn’t really see any results from going. After being under chiropractic care my mom says I am a totally different child. I have only gotten one ear infection since starting care 5 months ago. I eat a lot better and now I sleep through the night (which my parents are thankful).  Since starting care I can fight off colds and infections much better now. If I get sick my mom gets me adjusted and I am better within a couple of days.  Additionally, I would like to thank Dr. Abby because whenever I need an extra adjustment to help me fight of things she is willing to do whatever is needed and she is very helpful with what medicines can and will do to my body.

Family Care & Preventative Care

“We decided that we wanted to get the rest of the family under chiropractic care once we had learned about subluxation and felt that this would definitely help our kids out.”

The reason our family began chiropractic care was for Cheryl’s back pain. She met the doctors at a screening at Orland Park Mall. At its worst, she had problems moving around with the kids and would be sore at night. She would have a difficult time sleeping. We decided that we wanted to get the rest of the family under chiropractic care once we had learned about subluxation and felt that this would definitely help our kids out.

Cheryl’s back troubles are gone. The family has had some great results also.  Trevor had chronic ear infections and since beginning care, has not had even one. Maddie hasn’t had any ear infections at all. By the time Trevor was her age, he had at least 3 or 4 infections by then. My heart burn is gone. I can eat all sorts of foods now at night and not have an issue. Cheryl is a teacher so she would usually get sick and then bring it home and “share” it with the rest of the family. Since beginning care, she has been much better than previous years.

“After being under care for 3 years, we have no medications in the house and when our kids get sick they fight off illness quickly and naturally.”

We started chiropractic care because of a few different reasons. I had lower back pain. My daughters had allergies and my husband came along with us. At its worst, Brittany was taking over the counter medication everyday. Brianna and Lee were taking prescription medications daily for their allergies. I had severe back pain and all of these problems were affecting every avenue of our lives. The medications were not helping the problems; in fact they seemed to be causing the kids to be hyperactive.

Before we started care, when my kids got sick or had a fever we would call our medical doctor and he would tell us to give them Tylenol or Advil every two hours. Now, we let them fight off illness naturally and their immune systems are getting stronger and stronger.

I had been to a chiropractor before, but Dr. Ochsner’s message seemed so natural. Now, after being under care for 3 years, we have no medications in our house and when our kids get sick their body fights off the illness quickly and naturally. The symptoms from their allergies have improved dramatically. The whole family is happier and healthier.

Headaches & Migraines

“I had been having headaches since I was in the 3rd grade”

I initially began care because my brother was always sick.  He said that maybe getting chiropractic care would be able to help me with my headaches. I had been having headaches since I was in the 3rd grade, and they only became worse by the time I was in the 6th grade.  The headaches were ongoing, from mild to severe.

At its worst, the headaches would be so bad that I would throw up because I was so sick. One day when I was in school, I could not see my locker combination because my sight was gone. At times it would be as if pieces were missing, and they would have to let me go home because it would be really bad.  My friends thought I was a freak because they did not understand what I was seeing.  I also had times where a couple of my teachers would yell at me because I could not see the chalkboard. I would get frustrated many times, and get so mad that I’d just go home. I would see a bright orange light and then a few pieces of what I was looking at.

I had never been to a Chiropractor before. Usually, I would just take Motrin for my headaches.  My mother wanted me to take medication, but my doctor at the time said no.

Since starting care I have received about five comments about my posture being better. A teacher of mine also noticed that I was not slouching over like before. When I was coming into the office for the first time, I was telling my mother that I had a bad headache. After my first adjustment, the headache just popped out of my head! It felt really weird because it felt like I had a headache, but I really didn’t because I didn’t know what it felt like not to have one! My allergies are a little better, and I haven’t been getting sick because usually I am sick a lot. I’ve been coming in for over a month, and already all of these changes are happening! I am also more focused in school, and I also fall asleep faster than before.

I am so glad that my mother went to the Moraine Valley Workshop and learned about Chiropractic. I think the office is great, and I can talk to everyone because they are my friends now.



“I have seen physical improvement in my x-rays.”

My name is Barb and I began care because I knew I needed it, and I had really bad headaches. I have had headaches pretty much throughout my life and have been treated on and off for them. At their worst the headaches were completely debilitating. They were so bad that I would vomit from the pain. I have been to four other chiropractors in the past. I even worked at a facility for 3 years that had a chiropractor who took care of me. I had some relief with past chiropractic care, but not the same as the progress I have made with this office. I have tried different medications just to get rid of the pain. When I began working in the wellness field, I stopped taking the medications, because I knew it was not doing my body any good. The different medications tore my stomach up. Since beginning care here, I have improved significantly. I have seen physical improvement in my x-rays.  I also noticed that if I feel a headache coming on, a little ice will help it go away. A side benefit is that I now take time for myself. I knew I needed to, but now I actually do it. I found this office when I met your outreach team at Sunrise Health Foods. This facility runs like clockwork. Everyone is professional, nice, and genuinely concerned about your well-being.

“I can’t remember the last time I had a headache!”

My name is Rafic and I began chiropractic care for my EXTREME neck pain. I was not sleeping well, I often felt dizzy and I was taking aspirin in the morning and evening just to get rid of the pain. After work I was too tired to do anything , but I still couldn’t sleep well. I had some back pain that kept me from doing physical activities. This is the first Chiropractic that I have ever been to. I came to Dr. Abby because of her methods, trust in God and the care that she shows her patients.      
    
Since beginning care here my allergies have subsided-even in allergy season, I can sleep better and my neck has increased mobility. The pain that I was so used to having is gone. I  also have better posture and balance. No longer relying on coffee and aspirin! I have clearer thinking-its like my brain is in hyper-mode. I can’t remember the last time that I had a headache!

My experience with this office has been a positive one. I always look forward to seeing Dr. Abby and Jen, they always bring a smile to my face.  Dr. Abby is someone that I trust. May God bless you guys.

“I just tell people, “You just have to go”."

My name is Marilyn and I began care because of the headaches that I had.  My sister and brother-in-law were visiting from overseas and my head hurt so bad that I had to go to bed and we missed a lot of valuable time together. 

I had gone to other chiropractors and they did help get rid of the pain,  I would go as often as 3 times a week to as little as once a month, but I never had “a plan” and I always felt uninformed about my progress.  Also whenever I would get my hair done I would have such a hard time with putting my hair in the shampoo bow, now I can lay comfortably in it with no problems!!

I heard of the office through a good friend of mine Barb.  I love the way Dr. Tebbe is constantly teaching me, and the fact that she has hard data(xrays, scans)to prove my progress.

The whole atmosphere of the office is full of positive energy!!  Thanks Jen, Dr. Jamie, and Dr. Abby, and that God is always given credit for my good health, I love that!!!

“Since starting care, I have had a lot fewer headaches and I am able to turn my head more freely”

The reason I began chiropractic care was because of neck pain and headaches. I have been dealing with the pain for 20+ years and the pain was so bad that I would be flat in bed unable to function. It was painful to stand, sit, and even walk. I would visit my chiropractor at the time for 3-4 visits then stop when the headaches went away. Then repeat the visits when the pain was bad again.

Since starting care, I have had a lot fewer headaches and I am able to turn my head more freely.
I heard about the office while I was in the mall one weekend and stopped at their booth. This office is interested in promoting healthy diet as well as natural healing.

Infants

“I now sleep through the night, and the diarrhea and vomiting stopped 2 days after starting care.”

My name is Alex and I began chiropractic care at seven months because my mom was concerned about my digestion.  For about three weeks, I had constant diarrhea and vomiting.  I was a very crabby baby.  I didn’t sleep or eat well, and my mom and dad were stressed and worried about me.  My mom also had to do a lot of laundry because of me. At its worst, I would vomit uncontrollably after eating.  It was very scary for me, and my mom and dad.  My mom tried changing my diet, and then she heard about chiropractic from my Aunt Andrea.  Since beginning care, I now sleep through the night, and the diarrhea and vomiting stopped 2 days after starting care.  I am much happier now.  My mom says I have lots of energy.  This office is great because the people here care about their patients and it shows.  My mom and dad are next to get their nervous systems checked.  My mom has learned a lot about health since she started bringing me and is continuing to learn.

“My Grandmother said I was an extremely unhappy baby.”

I started chiropractic care because I was having difficulty feeding and was diagnosed as having “colic.” At it’s worst, I refused to nurse or take a bottle, I needed to be carried continuously to alleviate my irritability. My Grandmother said I was “an extremely unhappy baby.”

The past treatments and results consisted of reflux medication (zantac.) My mom eliminated dairy products, vegetables and spicy foods from her diet but my symptoms continued.

My family members were skeptical of Chiropractic and my mom had no previous experience with Chiropractic. Her friends related success stories with their infants and children, so she decided to give it a try.

After being under chiropractic care my feeding improved and my overall disposition improved in about 1-2 weeks of adjustments. My Grandmother now says, “He’s the cutest baby!”

Additionally, I am no longer taking the reflux medication and my mom was able to resume a normal diet. I also began sleeping through the night within 2 weeks of starting care!

The staff at Ochsner Chiropractic Center is friendly, caring, and informative.

Low Back Pain

“When I do have pain, it no longer takes me days to recover. Now, usually within 24 hours I have bounced back.”

I began chiropractic care for my chronic lower back pain. When the pain was at its worse, it would lay me up on my back for 2-3 days at a time. It would cause me to miss work.  Being active with officiating and athletics, it prevented me from continuing in my lifestyle. I had tried various ways to deal with the pain. I had been to a naprapath and chiropractor years ago. I wasn’t happy with the results that I received. My daughter suggested that I get checked out in this office. I was leery of chiropractic care prior due my previous experience. After listening to how chiropractic care was helping my daughter, I decided to give it a try. 

My past treatments for the pain included ice and heat treatments, whirlpools, liniments, and stretching exercises. I use to use an electro-stim unit to get pain relief by numbing the nerves. It was the most effective way for me to lessen the pain although it didn’t heal or correct anything. Since beginning care roughly six months ago, I have only used the electro-stim unit once or twice, whereas, I use to use it every few weeks. I know that through my active lifestyle combined with my bad disc I will continue to have issues with my lower back; however, I seem to have less chronic back pain. When I do have pain, it no longer takes me days to recover. Now, usually within 24 hours I have bounced back. I believe that I sleep sounder since beginning care. I feel more alive and awake. I feel overall healthier.

The neat thing I notice with myself, and I see it with other patients here, is an extremely positive interaction within the office. There is a comfort level that I think is a real credit to this chiropractic office. When you go to the doctor, you don’t usually look forward to going. You don’t mind coming here. It’s a great environment to come to.


"You have to just come here and experience total wellness!"

My name is Geri and I have been under care for 3 years. I originally started care for excruciating back pain. I could not stand or walk. I found out it was because of Subluxation. When I began care, I saw results for the back pain or I would not have continued care. What I learned about total body wellness has helped keep my body and my back from being stressed. When I do have a time when my back “goes out” or has a flare up, it is for an extremely short period. It heals in one to two days instead of one to two weeks. One of the biggest changes is that when I started coming to the office, I took Advil every day. I now might take one Advil in an entire month. My sister almost died from taking too many Advil and Tylenol for migraines. She was bleeding internally. Because of this, it is a very important thing that I have been able to stop taking it daily. What has helped me stay committed to my care is the specific information that I have received in how to live a wellness life style. In the beginning I came to all the workshops you offered and all of the extra programs like Body By God. It has taken me these few years to get serious about my own health but the information I learned here has given me the guidance of how to do it. Many places talk about whole wellness in a general way, but they don’t tell you how to get there. Through my own spiritual growth, which I attribute partially to the care I have received here, I have been able to stay committed to my health. The biggest advantage in continuing has been that I have very little back pain and no headaches. The atmosphere here is like a family. I like team work here also. I don’t feel like I have to see a specific doctor to get great care. For anyone who is just starting chiropractic care or is considering it, I tell people this office is different. You have to just come here and experience total wellness!

“I no longer take Antidepressants, Allergy medicine or Pain Relievers.”

I was suffering from pain in my lower back, neck, and shoulders.  I had been suffering from this pain for a good portion of 20 years.  I could not get out of bed or a chair without a lot of pain and effort due to lower back pain.  I could not lift or reach for anything without a lot of pain and a groan.  I was very tired and had no energy because I had pain with every movement.  I was spending a lot of time on the couch. 

I tried previous chiropractors, I felt that the adjustments worked but I was still on the pain relievers and using a heating pad for the pain.  The problem always returned and I became skeptical and leery about seeing another chiropractor.  I was told by another patient here that I should be here because this office could help me.

I can lift things without pain and my neck doesn’t stiffen up anymore.  I am able to move freely, and have increased the strength and mobility in my arms.  I have enough energy to complete my daily tasks, golf, and exercise.  Becoming “well” and “energized” has definitely given me a more positive attitude and has increased my patience (with others).  I have always been very impatient and nervous and chiropractic has helped to just “enjoy” more of life.  My blood pressure has also been high and it is finally returning to normal. 

The doctor and staff are very pleasant, friendly, efficient, and always helpful.

“At times my low back pain was so bad that I could barely walk!"

The reason I began Chiropractic care was due to low back pain and sciatica that traveled down my legs to my feet.  The pain had been there for awhile, however; over the course of a year it got so bad that one evening after seeing a play at the theatre I could barely walk to my car that was just across the street! 

My pain greatly affected my lifestyle as I work long days standing and twisting.
I went to my medical doctor who gave me steroids for my low back that did not work. I was also getting shots in my knee for arthritis and thought that maybe this would help my low back so I was hesitate to start Chiropractic care.  A friend who is under care, recommended I come to a community dinner and that is where I decided I needed something more, so I started with care at Health from Within.   

Six months into care I have made great progress. My sciatica has calmed down greatly and my low back pain is much better.  I work eight hour days on my feet with little pain and I am able to walk long distances without pain!

I am continuing with wellness care to maintain my spine and nervous system to maximize my health!

Neck Pain

"Now I wake up dancing!"

My name is Cathy and I began care for perimenopausal symptoms and neck pain. At its worst the neck pain would wake me up in the middle of the night. It was something that I had become accustomed to. There were some nights that were worse than others. The perimenopausal symptoms included fatigue and heavy legs. These symptoms were interfering with my life in every way. I was either in too much pain, or too tired to do the things I wanted to do. There were days when I thought that I could overcome the fatigue, but then the physical pain would keep me from moving forward. It took a toll on me mentally as well. I had previously tried acupuncture and ibuprofen, and natural hormones. I did not want to continue putting things in my body, natural or otherwise, that didn’t belong there. The ibuprofen would stop the pain, but it would knock me out. I had heard the doctors from this office speak at a couple of events at my work, and one day I just woke up. I said to myself I know these guys why don’t I try this and take care of myself. I have not had one headache since I started. I have not taken ibuprofen for pain, and my perimenopausal symptoms are getting better. I have less fatigue and my legs don’t feel so heavy. Since I am feeling less fatigued, I am able to once again exercise which also helps with my overall well being. Because I am no longer in pain, I am able to mentally push myself the extra mile. I am able to see things with mental clarity, now that I am out of pain. I used to wake up with a smile on my face even when I was in pain. Now I wake up dancing! I am also sleeping through the night now. I found the office when we shared a table at Relay for Life. Then the doctors came to Moraine Valley for a wellness fair and I decided to get myself checked.

Numbness & Tingling

“I am in charge of taking care of my body and my wellness, and I have never given the level of dedication that I am now giving!!!”

The reason I started chiropractic care was for continual wellness.  In my profession I lift heavy boxes and have been doing it for years and it caused me to have lower back pain. I also wanted to be able to get out of bed feeling wonderful and not miserable. Before my chiropractic care when I got out of bed every morning I would have to restructure myself and do stretches immediately before I could do anything else. Also for my job I travel about 2500 miles a month and every time I would get out of my van I would also have to restructure myself or I would not be able to move. Due to the sitting all that time it caused a lot of pressure on my neck and low back.

My past experience with chiropractic was about 15 years ago and there was a lot of electric stimulation rather than the adjustment and there were no x-rays taken. After the treatments were over I stopped seeing the chiropractor.

Since I started here I sleep so soundly. I used to wake up 2-3 times a night and now when I go to bed I wake up the next morning with lots of energy, which is very important to me! I no longer feel achy when I get out of my van that I am in so much. Both of these benefits allow me to deal with my busy schedule much better. Another side benefit that I have experienced is a shift in my mental attitude. Every time I get adjusted I know I am doing something that is great for me and that helps me out a lot. I am in charge of taking care of my body and my wellness and have never given the level of dedication that I am now giving. I eat right and do my stretches but I have realized that this is so much more important that that. Now I am making time to do something good for my health.

I was referred to this office by my dear friend Geri Christensen. This office is like a family. There is so much warmth every time I walk in here starting with the greeting. I truly believe this is going to be a life long partnering. The office guides me in helping with my wellness for the rest of my life.

Pregnancy & Fertility

“I had trouble getting pregnant before, and this last pregnancy I didn’t have to use any fertility medication!"

The reason we began chiropractic care was more because of wellness. We didn’t know very much about chiropractic except that it treated my husbands back pain. I didn’t know that it was for everything. 
Since starting care, I have noticed that the kids get over sicknesses faster, and they don’t get sick as much.  For myself, I had trouble getting pregnant before, and this last pregnancy I didn’t have to use any fertility medication. I also noticed that my menstrual cycle has been regular under chiropractic care.

Our family has a total of seven people under chiropractic care, and not very many kids at the children’s school see a chiropractor regularly. I wish that more people knew about the benefits of chiropractic care.

Sciatica

“After my very first adjustment, my sciatic pain was completely relieved!”

The reason I started Chiropractic Care was because I was suffering from severe sciatic pain and discomfort. I was also experiencing back and neck pain and stiffness that I feel was related to the desk job that I worked for many years. The pain was continuous for the past 5 years.  At its worst, I could not work, walk, or even stand up straight. I had shots and took many different pain medications that did not help at all.

I had no experience with Chiropractors but the things that I had originally heard were usually negative. My medical doctor cautioned me against them. My daughter, Kathy, mentioned the improvements that she experienced at Ochsner Chiropractic Center and told me to come and get checked. She gave me a very informative packet about chiropractic.

After my very first adjustment my sciatic pain was completely relieved!  Since beginning care, I have noticed a whole world of difference. I can now stand for long periods unlike before. I can go out and do things and have more energy, too. I have also noticed a mental change that allows me to be more tolerant and deal with people better. The entire experience has been great. Everyone at the office has been very nice and friendly. They always answer my questions and are very helpful.

Scoliosis

 

“My doctors said my scoliosis would only get worse…And now it's improving…”

I started chiropractic care because I had scoliosis, back pain, neck pain, and really bad headaches. At its worst, it was hard to sit, lie in certain positions or stand up. The pain would hurt really badly.  I got headaches all the time. I would get them at school and it made it hard to concentrate. Now I haven’t been getting them.

I found the office through my brother who was already under care. I was not excited about coming, but my brother saw results and my dad talked me into it. In the past, the medical doctors said that nothing could help my scoliosis get better, that it could only get worse, and that I would probably need surgery. My scoliosis is now improving, which is amazing. Also, my headaches back pain and neck pain, are gone. I can now concentrate better in school and I also noticed I haven’t been sick. I like that this office is open and you are not cramped in a little room.

Skin Conditions

“I have been under care for almost 5yrs…I plan on continuing to maintain my health.”

The reason for starting my chiropractic care was that I was experiencing a lot of stress and pain in my neck and shoulders. For the last seven years I would also come down with real bad viral infections and colds.  The pain was so bad at times it would wake me up at night.

Since I started care the pain has lessened greatly. It is still present sometimes but not as bad and I am going to continue my chiropractic care to continue the healing process. Also, I used to get sick every winter and since I started my care in March I am anxious to see what this winter brings for me.

One thing that I never expected chiropractic care to help with was a dermatitis problem I was having since 1976. I broke out in hives all over my body, and they constantly itched. I was in the military when this started to happen. When I went to the military doctor they thought I was crazy. One day when I was working, I broke out in hives. I went straight to the doctor to show him and they immediately started several tests on me. They had no clue what was going on but prescribed several medications to try to control the hives. Some of the medications helped with the hives temporarily, but they made me sleepy along with some other side effects.  Recently, however, the dermatitis has cleared up without medication.

I was referred to the office through a screening at LifeTime Fitness. The office treats me like an individual. I really like the all the information that is provided and being treated as an individual person.

Sleeping Problems

“I couldn't stay awake in class.”

My name is Philip Duckworth, and I began chiropractic care because I was always up until 3:00 in the morning because I couldn’t get to sleep. I would have to go home from school because I couldn’t stay awake in class. My teacher would have to wake me up, and I would get in trouble. I wasn’t able to get my school work done. Now when my head hits the pillow at night, I am able to go right to sleep. I don’t have to miss school and I don’t get in trouble anymore for sleeping in class. Also, I used to get sick all the time and I have noticed that since beginning care; I don’t get sick very much anymore. I found the office through my mom who found it through Lifetime Fitness Center.

“I am sleeping at night, went off my acid reflux meds and lost about 6 lbs.”

I started chiropractic care because I had Neck, Shoulder, & Back pain, along with Depression and Anxiety.  I have been dealing with the pain for about 10 years off and on.  The worst was the mornings, they brought on a lot of anxiety in the effort to get my body moving-if I moved too fast I would become extremely fatigue and have anxiety attacks. Then at night my shoulder and neck pain would be excruitiating.

One time my brain just shut down while I was driving and a police officer had to walk up to my car to get me to move on a green light!

I grew up with Chirocare and that is what helped me somewhat. I needed the more consistent adjustments and exercise routine.  While I was doing the Chiropractic Care, I also went to Internists and a Rheumatologist who diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia and prescribed anti-depressants. I also went to Physical Therapy-which helped somewhat.  My ENT doctor prescribed my acid reflux meds.
Since starting care I have more energy and I can get though the mornings so much better. The neck,  shoulder and back pain are about 90% better. I am sleeping at night, went off my acid reflux meds and lost 6 lbs. I have become more cheerful, able to handle everyday stresses better. To my amazement my hair is thicker and nails have really started to grow longer.

I love the workshops that you have it has really taught me a lot about how to take better care of myself.

I was referred to the office through Jennifer, she was at shapes on day while I was working out.  Everyone in the office is wonderful, nurturing, positive and encouraging.  You always feel welcome here.


“After my first adjustment I slept like a baby. I couldn’t sleep the night before, and now I am sleeping more regularly and actually getting tired at night!”

We were at lifetime fitness and I saw that Ochsner Chiropractic Center was doing a screening. My husband Steve has always had a sore back. I never really had any back pain, but I didn’t ever sleep regularly, so I just went to basically check it out.

Steve:  My pain was in my neck or back, depending on what I would do. I am an active person so if I was golfing or playing basketball, the next day I really couldn’t do too much. I found myself lying around and doing stretches to help relieve the pain. We had never gone to a chiropractor before, and we knew little about it. A friend of mine goes to one of those chiropractors that you only go to when you’re sore. He doesn’t go regularly like us. After starting care, I found out that my aunt and uncle also see a chiropractor and they said that it has totally changed their lives.
I went to a medical doctor for my pain once, and he gave me a series of stretches to do. That helped a little, but not as much as this has. I have less pain now, and I can do more activities on a regular basis without having to plan my week out around the pain. I can do what I want to now.

Carrie: After my first adjustment, I slept like a baby. I couldn’t sleep the night, and now I am sleeping more regularly and actually getting tired at night. I have also noticed that I am more flexible. I don’t usually get sick except for the occasional cold or cough, and I’ve noticed that I haven’t been sick this whole year. I haven’t gotten any colds or any coughs since I’ve been here.

Everyone at Ochsner Chiropractic Center is really nice and outgoing. It seems like they really generally care how your doing, and they want you to come in regularly. We also miss Abby.

Speech Problems

“My previous attitude with Chiropractic was all ‘horror stories!”

The reason Abigail began Chiropractic care was due to speech problems and being a “toe-walker”, which caused the ‘need’ for braces on her legs and feet. Abigail’s problems existed since she started to walk and the speech problems were noted by her teacher and she was dent to a speech therapist.

Abby fell and tripped a lot due to the problems with her feet. She also had many ear infections throughout childhood.

The treatment Abby received before Chiropractic consisted of braces on her legs, speech therapy, medical specialists, and antibiotics for ear infections. My previous attitude with Chiropractic was all “horror stories!”

The progress she has made is wonderful. She didn’t have to use the 2nd pair of leg braces and the foot doctor was amazed at her progress in 6 months, all from Chiropractic care – (I told him we didn’t use the braces after he noted the progress!)

Abby walks much better with less tripping and falling. Her speech was measured at 10-11 months behind and now she is 2-3 months ahead of others her age. Abigail was referred to Ochsner Chiropractic by me, her mother, who knew of the office from getting massages there.

I love the office staff and Dr. Ashly. They are wonderful with our kids and us. I highly recommend them!

Stomach & Digestive

My name is Carsyn and I began care for Chrohn’s disease.  At its worst I was missing a lot of school. I missed 5 ½ weeks of school last year because of the pain. I had severe stomach aches every day. I was nauseous, had heartburn and indigestion. I would also wake up several times every night feeling nauseous or with heartburn. Even the medications I take for Chrohn’s would not help most of my symptoms. One of my mom’s friends told us about this office, and the great results that their family was seeing. My mom decided to get me checked to see if chiropractic could help. Since beginning care, I do not miss as much school.  Instead of waking up several times every night, I might wake up once in two weeks.  My stomach does not hurt every day any more. I only get stomach pains once every six weeks. My doctors say it will take a while, but that I may be able to wean off the medications that I have been taking. My mom has also been able to heal because she doesn’t have to get up every night with me.  We are very happy with the care we have received here. Everyone here is very nice and caring.


I started chiropractic care because I wasn’t feeling good and my cousin recommended that I give it a try. I was looking for alternative health care. I had numbness and tingling in my neck along with a mild case of depression. I also had suffered from chronic ulcerative colitis since I was nineteen. At its worst, my neck worried me because it was getting more tingly. If I was sitting at work, I would feel the numbness and I would worry about what was pressing on the nerves and what internal damage was being done. The colitis was horrible and painful during inflammations and it took control of my body and daily life.

Years ago, I was skeptical of chiropractors. I had heard stories of someone who went to a chiropractor and more damage was done then good. In talking to my cousin who had been under care for three years I felt very comfortable in coming here. I had never seen a doctor for the tingling in my neck. My back pain was caused from car accidents so I did see an orthopedic. Most of my care there involved muscle strengthening and exercises. I was on maintenance medicine for the colitis, but even while taking that I would experience flair ups every two to three years. I had to change medicines to maintain the symptoms from colitis, but the medicine couldn’t treat the problem.

Since starting care, my neck is no longer numb. My back feels wonderful and my depression is gone. I feel like I can face every day and not have to worry. I also feel that I have more energy after my adjustments. I just had a colonoscopy to check on my colitis. To my amazement, there are no signs of my body ever having colitis. It has cleared up completely. I haven’t taken my medicine since beginning chiropractic care either.

I was referred to the office through Jennifer Serritella. Everyone in the office is wonderful, upbeat, and friendly. You always feel welcome here. I find it extremely impressive that this office sees so many children and babies. I look at that and think wow. You hear the stories from their parents about how their children get adjusted and they don’t get sick. To me, it’s amazing.

Wellness Overall

“I finally feel like there is nothing wrong with me.”

My name is Emelia Gonzalez, I began chiropractic care because my whole body was hurting. There were times I felt I did not even have the strength to walk. There were days that I felt I could not get up, and if I did, I had to move very slowly. I had previously tried chiropractic, but I did not like the way the doctor treated me. I was also prescribed medicine by a medical doctor, but I did not want to take medications, so I just dealt with it. Since beginning care, I have notice that I now have more strength, my attitude is better, and I even eat better. I used to walk on my toes and now I can walk straight, and I can stand for hours at a time which I could not do before. I also no longer get headaches. I finally feel like there is nothing wrong with me. I am so happy that I found this office.

“This is something I want to keep doing for the rest of my life, and I will.”

My name is Margie and I began chiropractic care because I was tired of waking up with a terrible pain in my shoulder and neck. My left hip was also hurting and getting worse. I kept trying new shoes to help my hip, but that did not help. I also suffered from sinus headaches that were pretty bad. I couldn’t exercise because my hip would hurt too much. I couldn’t even find a comfortable way to sleep at night. It affected my daily activities like cleaning the house. It was bad. I did not have any previous experience with chiropractors, but my husband did. He did get help, but did not stay on track with his care to maintain it. I did not try any previous treatment for the pain in my hip and shoulder. I would just deal with the pain. I did go to a Chinese doctor for my headaches and he gave me and herbal remedy. It would help, but they would come back. Since starting care here, I do not have much pain in my hip anymore. I have also noticed that my sense of smell is improving. I am hopeful that my sense of taste will return as well. I found the office through my daughter. I think everyone that works here is great. They really care about you. If you ask them something they will give you the information and help you need. It is relaxing to come in and see how happy the families and kids that come in are. This is something I want to keep doing for the rest of my life, and I will. I am not quitting this.

“My feet hurt so bad that I couldn’t make it up stairs and now my pain is gone!”

The reason I began Chiropractic care was due to long term feet pain, sinus and allergy problems. At times my pain would be so bad that I could not make it up the stairs at my house. I also used to get migraine headaches and constantly had allergy and sinus problems. My pain was present everyday for 33 years and greatly affected my life since I work 10-12 hour days on my feet all day long!!!

I relied on my brother and sister-in-law’s opinion about the Chiropractic care offered at Health from Within as they are both patients as well. They had seen great results, therefore; I decided to see for myself if it would work for me.   

The progress I have made is awesome. In six months time I now have no pain in my feet and no longer suffer from sinus or allergies problems. My migraine headaches are practically gone and I also notice that my neck feels better and is less tense.

Now my husband, son, three brothers, sister-in-law and niece are all under care as well seeing amazing growth in their health and wellness.
