Client Testimonials

I knew nothing about chiropractic medicine, although I knew that I had several long standing medical signals that I was tired of taking medicine for: stress, depression, and digestive complaints have been the norm for me for many years of my adult life. Problems sleeping and being tired all the time was common as well. While most physicians considered me 'healthy', I felt that this was not good enough. After speaking with Dr. Shoshana I decided that I would give this approach a dedicated effort to see if I could improve my health.

From the moment I met Dr. Shoshana, I was impressed with the fact that they are both good listeners, embody professionalism, and seem to hold themselves accountable to similar sets of core values. They never interrupted me and conducted a thorough analysis of my situation prior to the first adjustment. My first adjustment happened to fall on my birthday, and for the first time in several weeks, I could actually sit through dinner that evening. However, the part that most impressed me was when they called me at home that evening to find out how I was feeling. They actually seemed to care about me.

If anyone had told me that I had a “posture” problem I would have argued strenuously that they were wrong. And so, I was caught off-guard when a couple of the people from Live Well Chiropractic asked me to have my posture checked. The only reason I believed them was because I had pain in my lower back and down my left hip when I walk. I do a lot of walking and it had been getting more painful.

After a stressful period in my life, I began to feel pain in my lower back. I had every manner of medical test and following an MRI, found out that I had lumbar stenosis – degeneration of the lumbar spine. My neurologist told me that the condition was not severe, but over time I would probably need surgery on my back. He suggested that I see a functional fitness coach and work on strengthening my core to prolong the inevitable. I did as he suggested and found “temporary” relief.

I have been a drummer for over 20 years, which requires a lot of physical stamina and muscle control. I encountered a lot of back problems starting in adolescence, as a result of drumming and the normal amount of adolescent stress. I learned from the Dr's that emotional and physical stress can lead to sublexation. My immediate problem when I met them was that my wrist and forearem were out of commission. I thought the problem was in the wrist, but it was not. It was sublexation in my neck and spine. I had a show to play in a week when I met them, and after a few adjustments I was able to play the show as scheduled.

The staff of Live Well Chiropractic is wonderful, from the moment I met them they were very genuine, personable, and emoted a true care for my well being. They were very flexible and that was greatly appreciated from someone that works over 60 hours a week. Not only did they show an interest in my chiropractic health, but they also were interested in how everything else in my life was going. By doing so I think it helped them to get the big picture and provide even better care of me.

Too often I have taken my health for granted. I have pushed myself physically with little regard for the long term effects. Thankfully, Live Well has kept me sound with regular monitoring and manipulation while reminding me to be thoughtful of the impact alignment has on my life. I can drive long distances without medication, I sleep soundly. I don’t have to tolerate pain every day, and I can choose to stay aligned. There’s been no better incentive to continue with my care than the general well-being I now enjoy.

I had never really considered any type of chiropractic health care until Ron gave me the consultation visit. When Dr. Shoshana shared the results of my exam, I was surprised at how many subluxations were present. I had problems walking in the mornings, with pain and tingling in my legs. I was also dealing with phantom sensations as a result of shingles from the previous year, but didn't attribute any of those symptoms to issues with my spine. Since starting regular chiropractic treatment, all of those issues have resolved.

I originally sought chiropractic care after enduring eight years of acid reflux and other painful digestive problems. I had previously visited a doctor who, although she was unable to diagnose my illness, prescribed four different medications (including Propulsid). I did not want to be medicated for the rest of my life, so I started seeing a chiropractor.
