Dr. C.G. Terrell, Ph. D                                                        * acupuncture review*

(Describe your original complaint) Post-herpetic neuralgia after shingles had healed.  I had periods of pain so severe it caused nausea and vomiting.  The pain and nausea negatively affected all aspects of my life causing depression.

I had the pain 2 weeks prior to seeking acupuncture services.  I refused medication prescribed for post-herpetic neuralgia because of serious side effects which may occur.  I reviewed articles and found that acupuncture often relieved pain during and after the shingles.

(Why did you choose Active Life Chiropractic?) It was recommended by a former patient who received successful chiropractic services and was impressed by the caring and friendly attitude of the staff. 

(How is your original health issue today? What other aspects have improved?)  After acupuncture treatments, I am completely free of pain.  My depression has been replaced with feelings of being healthy and happy.  There has been a marked increase in my energy levels.

(Describe your original complaint) Lumbar spine pain in my lower back.  I previously had two sets of x-rays and an MRI taken, but still no explanation for the pain.  I went through 4-6 weeks of physical therapy, but still had issues.  There was pain for a year, but the last 6 months were filled with serious, constant discomfort.  I ended up missing several days of school because I was so stiff and sore.  I was unable to compete at the USA NKF Nationals that year.

(Why did you choose Active Life Chiropractic?)  My mother heard Dr. Bruner present about dieting and health.  

(How is your original health issue today? What other aspects have improved?) Since receiving chiropractic treatment at Active Life, my life has completely changed.  My pain is good as gone.  I can train my karate without worrying about my back.  I have since returned to tournaments, including winning 2 bronze medals at the USA NKF Nationals in 2010.

Cassie Karsten

(Describe your original complaint)  I had severe lower back and hip pain and had a hard time walking and sleeping. I was in pain for 10 days prior to my first visit. 

(Why did you choose Active Life Chiropractic?)  I was referred by a co-worker.  I was hesitant but it was the best decision to try chiropractic treatment. 

(How is your original health issue today? What other aspects have improved?) I am pain free for the most part (unless I overdo it!).   Less headaches and (fewer) sinus problems.  Dr. Bruner and his staff are wonderful!  Best patient care I have ever experienced. 

Rose Ann

I suffered neck and shoulder pain to the point of having cortisone injections, physical therapy and often took Tylenol/ibuprofen but they only gave temporary relief.  I've had this condition off and on for many years.  It disturbed my sleep and it kept me from what I was used to doing.  I found out about Dr. Bruner through the Chamber of Commerce.  After a few treatments, the pain had eased and it is now gone completely.  I'm sleeping well and am active again.  Dr. Bruner and his staff are wonderful!

Kathy                                                                                     * acupuncture review*

I had been diagnosed with a frozen shoulder in June 2010.  I would feel a sharp pain in my left shoulder when ever I reached for something.  I have had several weeks of physical therapy, when a friend told me about Active Life Chiropractic.  After beginning chiropractic with Dr. Bruner we decided to impliment acupuncture inconjunction with the care.  I no longer have pain in my shoulder and my range of motion has greatly improved!  Thanks to Dr. Bruner and acupuncture with Dr. McGrady!

Saronda

My neck was injured when I was rear ended in an auto accident.  I had been to a chiropractor years before for my scoliosis and lower back pain.  Scoliosis affects the muscles in my back constantly and the pain causes you to alter all aspects of life.  But the auto accident caused pain that I did not previously have.  A couple days after the accident I saw Dr. Bruner's office and walked in.  I knew I needed some help, so it was meant to be.  Chiropractic has helped my neck and the alignment of my spine.  I will always have scoliosis but the adjustments lessen my muscle problems.

Karen

For 15 years I suffered with sever back pain and spasm with muscle soreness and stiffness.  I received physical therapy and often iced but still had the pain.  This made me limit my activity and caused fatigue.  When I had spasms I was bedridden for a couple days.  I found out about Active Life Chiropractic from my medical doctor.  Chiropractic care made such a difference, even after the first visit.  I'm able to do everything I want and I have a lot more stamina.
