For over thirty years, I have dealt with severe lower back pain and muscle spasms that caused sharp stabbing pains in my right leg. Several times a year, the pain became so intolerable that not only did I miss work, but moving from the couch was even a challenge. I even wore a back brace for a six-month period and was prescribed muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatories and painkillers. However, these only provided temporary relief.
      I had never been to a chiropractor before my boss recommended scheduling an appointment, and was skeptical and scared at the thought of having my back adjusted with my history of debilitating spasms caused simply by bending or twisting my back. The staff was very personable and friendly though, and Dr. Rick’s examination was extremely professional and thorough. He recommended a treatment plan that consisted of adjustments, therapy, and exercises to help strengthen and stabilize my back. The results were miraculous! I have been treated for about three months, and I am no longer experiencing pain or stiffness, and am still improving. My wife also came to see Dr. Ricks about a month ago with an injured shoulder and a stiff neck, and she too has experienced a remarkable improvement!  I heartily recommend chiropractic care to everyone now. Orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons and others couldn’t help me, but Dr. Ricks has!

I first took Timothy to see Dr. Ricks when he was almost three months old. Within days after being born, he screamed and cried constantly and never slept more than 45 minutes straight. He also seemed even more agitated when he was laid on his back or put in his car seat, but we were told he was just colicky and I should try changing my diet or his feeding schedule. We were assured this would pass and there was no reason to worry, but nothing changed.
    Several months later at a family reunion my aunt suggested taking Timothy to a chiropractor. I had previously seen one for numbness in my legs after I had Timothy, and remembered the positive outcome. I felt much better even after my first treatment and I never experienced any symptoms similar to that again! We really like the atmosphere at Dr. Ricks’s office, the staff was very nice and pleasant to be around. Dr. Ricks showed me how to rub Timothy’s neck at home to help loosen up his muscles, and after only his first visit he stopped crying and slept through the night! After three more visits his neck and back were fully corrected, and he hardly ever cries at all anymore.
    I would recommend seeing a chiropractor first to anyone who is struggling with pain and can’t find the cause, not only would this save taking a lot of unnecessary pain medication but it alleviates living with pain for long periods of time. Any time people ask me about my baby I always tell them it was a chiropractor who helped him!
