“Chiropractic Helped My Son’s Autism”

I brought my son Alex into see Dr. Tim in hopes that he could help Alex with his autism. My son was diagnosed with autism at age 2 and he is now 8 years old. Alex’s symptoms include profound speech delay, self injury, obsessive-compulsive disorder, insomnia, aggression, anxiety, and verbal/facial tics. We have tried several different approaches in attempts to help Alex but have noticed only limited benefit: speech therapy, occupational therapy, gluten/casein free diet and various anti-anxiety/anti-psychotic medications.

At the beginning of his chiropractic care, Alex was hesitant to lay down on the table for the adjustments, but Dr. Tim said to keep trying and eventually Alex would get used to it. Dr. Tim was right… Not only is Alex used to his adjustments, but he now loves coming in and even asks to come in on days he isn’t scheduled!

We’ve only been coming for 2 months now and already we’ve seen some amazing results with Alex. His obsessive-compulsive disorder is much improved, he is much calmer, and he is just so much happier! We have been able to take Alex off two medications without any withdrawal symptoms. Also, his teacher wrote me a note saying how exceptionally well he has been doing at school recently!

Since our family has started care at Lombard Chiropractic, I have told everyone I know to go see Dr. Tim. I have told at least 20 people! Alex, his brother, my husband, my mother, and myself have all seen great results since starting chiropractic care. I am convinced that chiropractic care is the foundation to achieving and maintaining better health. I wish I would have learned about chiropractic a long time ago. I truly believe it was God who lead me to this office and not chance. I believe Dr. Tim is divinely inspired. It is truly a miracle what he has done with my son Alex!

Thank you, Dr. Tim.

Relief for Migraine Headaches & Dizzy Spells

I was officially diagnosed by my doctor as having migraine headaches. I experienced extreme dizziness and head pain to the point where I could not function at all. Often, it felt like my head was in a vice and it would last 2 to 3 days! My doctor told me to take Excedrin, but that did not help at all.

My mom talked to Dr. Tim about my problem and he said to come in right away because he believed he could help me. My first impressions of Lombard Chiropractic were great! I loved the fact that when I walked in the door they already knew my name; they could not have been nicer. After seeing my X-rays, Dr. Tim recommended that I come in 3 times per week and do exercises at home using head weights.

I have been under care for the past 6 months now, and I have not had any dizzy spells for at least 2 months now and I can hardly remember the last time I had a headache. My whole family is coming here now and we are all receiving the benefits of chiropractic care. I would definitely recommend to anyone to try chiropractic care before taking medication. I am all for it and believe that it can truly help!

Thanks, Dr. Tim

How My Brother Helped Relieve My Neck Pain

In the past, my brother had very bad neck pain. But now, because of chiropractic care, he is free from pain. Therefore, he told me to try chiropractic. I decided to take his advice.

I came to the office with terrible neck pain and right shoulder pain. I had the pain for several years and it had gotten worse as I got older. My medical doctors prescribed drugs such as Bextra, Mobic 15, & Meloxicam and told me to use a “massager” at home. They even performed an MRI on my neck. None of this seemed to help.

My first impressions of Lombard Chiropractic were great. Everyone here at the office is wonderful. They have remembered my name since the first visit and they are always smiling! I started my chiropractic care with a series of adjustments and at home exercises wearing the head gear.

Now, since I started chiropractic care I have felt so much better! Because of my experience, I only have good things to say about chiropractic. I have told many people about it. I know that I am not at 100%, but God & Dr. Tim are not done with me yet…

Thanks, Dr. Tim.

Choosing Chiropractic For My Lower Back Pain (instead of medicine)

I first came to the office with severe lower back pain. I had suffering from the pain for a number of years. The low back pain was so severe at times that it was a “10” on a 0-10 scale. Because of the back pain it was hard to sit, walk, or even sleep. In addition, I was suffering from neck pain and headaches almost every day. I was taking Advil & putting heat on my neck and lower back to try to relieve the pain. It didn’t seem to help much. Furthermore, I knew if I went to a medical doctor they would prescribe me stronger medications, and I didn’t want that!

I was very impressed by the office and the staff. Dr. Tim was very friendly & knowledgeable. He did a thorough evaluation & took X-rays of my spine. He then explained to me that I needed to come in for a series of chiropractic adjustments. He then recommended a maintenance care plan to prevent any future problems. The best part is… he explained everything very thoroughly!

Now, since starting chiropractic care, my back pain is almost completely gone. In addition, I very seldom have neck pain & headaches anymore. The results have been truly amazing! I have told several others in my family and at work about my positive experience.

I have learned that it is very beneficial to receive chiropractic care. In addition, I learned that once you are out of pain it is necessary to be on a maintenance program to prevent any of the painful conditions that you had before chiropractic care to return.

Thanks Dr. Tim.

A Spinal Screening At My Health Club Saved My Health

I came to the office because of a spinal screening that Lombard Chiropractic offered at my health club. Looking back, I am so glad that they were there…

I have had constant lower back pain for the past 8 years. The back pain had been so bad that it was often made worse with simple standing, sleeping, or even being touched in that area. I had this pain every day. Additionally, I had left shoulder pain and was very fatigued.

I had been to a chiropractor before, but I had no idea that this time the results would be so dramatic. Because of the chiropractic care I have noticed a significant decrease in shoulder and lower back symptoms. In addition, I can stand for longer periods of time without any discomfort.

I now recommend that others see a chiropractor and get on a regular schedule of adjustments. By keeping your spine aligned it can help with any ailment within the body.

Because of the information that the office provided me, I now more fully understand the concept of chiropractic. Needless to say, chiropractic has done more for me in weeks than regular medicine has ever done!

Thank you Chiropractic!

Chiropractic for More Than Just Back Pain!

I started visiting the chiropractor after my husband came to the office first for his lower back pain. He saw great results in just a few weeks! So I decided to give it a try to see if it could help me.

I was dealing with several symptoms including allergies, sinus problems, acid reflux, high blood pressure, headaches, anxiety, and periodic back pain. All of my symptoms were fairly severe. I was prescribed medications for anxiety and high blood pressure, but these only treated the symptoms.

My first impressions of Lombard Chiropractic were extremely positive! The staff was very friendly. Dr. Tim found subluxation (misalignment) of my spine with my exam and X-rays, so he recommended a series of regular adjustments and at-home spinal exercises.

Needless to say in just a few weeks of being under chiropractic care, I have noticed some amazing changes in my health! My allergies have subsided, my blood pressure is now normal, I have more energy throughout the day, and I am no longer taking anti-anxiety medication.

I have told several people about my positive experience and I encourage them to at least try chiropractic care. I feel it’s an integral part of achieving and maintaining overall good health!

Thanks chiropractic!

HOW CHIROPRACTIC HELPED MY ASTHMA

I had never been to a chiropractor before nor did I know what benefit it would provide to me. I had only heard of people going to the chiropractor when they had been injured. I first came to know the benefits of chiropractic care through a Health Fair that my company had sponsored and Dr. Tim had attended. I received my first thermal scan at that Health Fair which indicated that I had subluxations and promptly made an appointment for a full spinal screening which included x-rays.

Upon entering the office, I was surprised it find it to be a very bright and cheery place. Dr. Tim and the staff are always pleasant and know everyone by name. Once I had the full exam, Dr. Tim informed me that I had subluxations and forward head posture. I started a treatment of chiropractic care 3 times a week, plus at home head weighting.

What I didn’t know about chiropractic care was that it would help my asthma. Since being under chiropractic care for the past 3 months, I have not had to use my inhaler for the asthma at all. I have even stopped carrying it around with me! The true test for my asthma came in June when I went on a mission trip with my church to Kentucky. We do construction work the whole week in heat and humidity and in the past 7 years I have had to use the inhaler every single day. This year, I did not have to use it once. It never left my bag!

I have noticed a big improvement in my breathing and my posture. I am more conscientious about my posture which helps me to stand straighter. I also do not experience headaches after being on the computer all day at work.

I would recommend chiropractic care to everyone. It is not just for those who have been “hurt” because we all have been hurt by our environment. I like the fact that Dr. Tim is helping us to help our bodies work the way God designed them to function.

Thank you Dr. Tim!

Relief for Heartburn & Acid Reflux

I came to the office with lower back pain, heartburn, headaches, and sleeping problems. The worst of these symptoms were the heartburn and acid reflux. My digestive problems really worried me. I took TUMS like they were candy. I would pop several per day trying to get rid of the heartburn and acid reflux.

I began my chiropractic care by coming to the office 3 times per week for adjustments. Here is what I noticed…

• Within one month – I started sleeping better
• Within two months – my lower back pain was gone
• Within three months – my heartburn & acid reflux symptoms began to subside

Thus far, my chiropractic care has been really been helping. Because I have gotten great results, my wife has also started chiropractic care. She had severe migraine headaches on a regular basis before beginning care, and now she rarely has them!

I told numerous co-workers and family members about chiropractic care. Chiropractic has definitely made a positive effect on my well being.

Thanks, chiropractic!

Experiencing the Healing Power of God through Chiropractic

I first had been to a chiropractor when I was 19 years old for a neck problem. Unfortunately, it was a very negative experience. Although I was still a bit skeptical about chiropractic, I came to Lombard Chiropractic because of a charity event that they were having in conjunction with Catholic Charities. Although I had a negative experience in the past, I could tell that things were different here. My first impression of this office was very positive.

I presented to the office with neck pain and pain radiating into my right shoulder. I also was suffering with constipation and an inability to do strenuous exercise. Before coming to the office, I had received physical therapy and acupressure. In addition, I was prescribed the medications Mobic & Flexeril, but I stopped taking the medication since it did not help.

After the consultation & exam, Dr. Tim recommended a plan of chiropractic adjustments, exercises, and a maintenance program to improve the functioning of my central nervous system. After the first adjustment I noticed a dramatic change in my health. I experienced an increased level of energy & a sudden relief of my constipation. With continued adjustments I have experienced higher energy levels, a decrease in constipation symptoms, and a reduction of my neck and shoulder pain. Additionally, I now feel more flexible and more toned with the at home exercises.

The best things about the office are that I really like the high energy, open environment, continued patient education, and their belief in the healing power of God. From my experience, I now recommend chiropractic to others who are sick, suffering, or in pain. I tell them to consider going to a chiropractor before taking any medications or undergoing surgery. I have already told over 10 people about my positive experience, and I plan to tell even more in the future.

Thank you Dr. Tim.

MY JOB HAS SAVED MY LIFE!

I was hired by Dr. Tim as a massage therapist and initially had no clue what chiropractic was all about. Before starting my job at Lombard Chiropractic, I was suffering from severe headaches 3-4 times per week, lower back pain since age 12, and severe digestive problems/acid reflux since age 16. My back pain and headaches were so bad that sometimes I could not get out of bed. In addition, my digestive problems were so severe that I felt a constant burning in my throat and a squeezing feeling in my stomach. I tried various types of treatments to cover up the problem (Advil, Excedrin, Protonix, Prevacid, Anaprox, Aleeve, Tums, Rolaids, and Zantac 75) but experienced no relief!

Dr. Tim explained to me what chiropractic was all about and it made total sense to me. If you have subluxation, your body will never function at 100%. Dr. Tim proceeded by taking X-rays and we found that my spine was in horrible shape. So, I was then put on a regular schedule of chiropractic adjustments and headweight exercises at home.

Since I started getting regular adjustments, I have not had any headaches! In addition, my low back pain is gone and I no longer have stomach problems! I wish I would have known about chiropractic years ago. It makes a lot of sense to try to find the cause of the problem before taking any drugs. Also, I now realize that is vitally important to check the system in your body that controls everything… YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM! I have told many others about chiropractic. Currently, both my mom and my sister are under regular chiropractic care and they are also seeing amazing results!

This is why I love my job! I have the best job in the world! I get to see other people become healthy just like I have. I also like the fact that working in this office is like being part of a big family. It is cool to be a part of this. I will never stop getting adjusted!

Thank you, chiropractic!
