Sciatic Pain

For a long time I had headaches, neck pain, and horrible sciatic pain. I tried many different things but none of them worked, including over the counter pain medications.  When I started care with Dr. Brewer I was pregnant and the sciatic pain was extremely difficult to deal with.  Within just a few visits the sciatic pain was gone - completely cleared up!  Soon after, the headaches and neck pain were gone and I have not used medications since.  The labor and birth of my baby was very easy compared to my first child.  The pelvis was positioned correctly, which allowed the baby to position herself correctly, and the birth happened correctly.  Overall, I FEEL GREAT and continue to see Dr. Brewer!

Headaches, Depression, PMS

Chiropractic Works! Wow, where should start? I guess with my first visit to Doctor Doug. He let me know that I needed corrections to my spine. Though doubtful that putting my spine in proper position would help me, I did know that the traditional medical treatments I was using were not working for me.

I was suffering with depression which I was taking two kinds of medication for. Also from fatigue so bad that getting up in the morning to go to work was a daily battle for me. Oh and the headaches they made me miserable, they were a constant companion with me when I woke up and when I went to sleep at night. They never went away even after taking medication.

After my first month of treatment I received a wonderful bonus - no more PMS, no more cramps, no more pain. It was a very freeing experience as I thought this was something I just had to live with.

Now I no longer take any medication for depression, the headaches are almost non-existent and I feel that my over all health has improved greatly!

MANY THANKS TO DOCTOR DOUG AND THE BLUE MOUNTAIN CHIROPRACTIC TEAM!!

Back Pain/Pain and Tingling in Arms & Fingers

One morning I awoke to a pain on my back to the left of my spine. Since I am now 57, I came to the realization that getting old is accompanied with the usual aches and pains. I really thought that in a day or so, this problem would go away.

As the days passed, the pain got worse. Within two months, the pain moved down my left arm to the end of my finger tips. I was experiencing pain attacks in my arm that almost drove me to tears. When I wasn't experiencing pain, my arm and especially my fingers went numb. During that time, it was better for me to leave my arm in a sling at which time my arm became useless to me.

During this period, I was prompted by my wife to see a neurosurgeon. After an MRI and another expensive test that I can't remember the name of, the surgeon said he could not guarantee that he could help me. He said he would only operate under the following conditions: the pain was too hard to bear or I lost complete use of my arm. He wasn't in the least reassuring!

About the same time I was visiting the neurosurgeon, I also met Dr. Doug Brewer. He was extremely confident that he could help me. At the time, I was rather doubtful. I knew I didn't want back surgery. I know at least a dozen people who have had back surgeries (including my father) and none of them yielded satisfactory results. So, I really didn't have many alternatives—I would give Dr. Doug a try. I started getting adjusted and performing all the exercises/stretches he suggested. It took several weeks and I actually started feeling better. The shoulder pain number on my travel card started at 10 and progressively went down.

Today, the shoulder pain number on my card is a zero. I feel no pain. The numbness is also gone. I feel so good, I am jogging again. Once in a while I feel a little twinge of pain starting in my shoulder, so I quickly do a couple of neck exercises and the pain just mysteriously vanishes. I am convinced that without Dr. Doug and his chiropractic help I would probably be undergoing another unsuccessful surgery. Dr. Doug you're the Man!

Asthma, Hip Pain

Before coming to Blue Mountain Chiropractic I had asthma bad enough that walking more than a block or two was a struggle.  On top of that my left hip hurt so badly I couldn't step and lift my bodyweight with that leg.  I tried different stretches, and another Chiropractor, but the pain and asthma continued. Working out seemed to help some, but nothing really worked.  After being under care here at Blue Mountain Chiropractic, I am breathing better, I am able to go for walks, and my left hip doesn't hurt at all.  I am happier and have more energy to work out.  Thank you Dr Doug!
