"My neck has never felt this good."

My boyfriend Dan has always talked about how much he appreciates his chiropractor, so in June 2008 I accompanied him on one of his visits. Originally I didn’t come for any particular condition but after thinking about my own history I realized I’ve been suffering from back pain since I was 10 years old! As Dr. Melendez pointed out and I agreed, “Pain maybe common but it’s definitely not normal”. After x-ray and examination, I found out that my skull was sitting on my spine crooked, I had significant forward head posture, and he classified me as a Posture III, the worst posture that signifies ligament damage. A lifetime of dancing may have been the culprit.

In years past I’ve tried to get help by going to a doctor who gave me stretches to do everyday which didn’t last long. I went to a different chiropractor whom I felt made things worse. I also tried to crack my back myself, which made it feel better, but only for about 30 minutes. As you can imagine, this produced no lasting results.

Since starting Dr. David’s spinal corrective care, my once chronic pain is gone. I used to have to stand at the back of the classroom because sitting was too painful. Not anymore! My neck has never felt this good! In addition, I can concentrate better on the things I love, like school, the piano, reading, crocheting, etc. Because my neck feels so much better, I can now read for as long as I’d like to, whereas before I could only last 15 minutes before the pain would be too great to continue. Lastly, I sleep better at night which helps me with all other aspects of my life throughout the day.

Thank you,

"The pain was so bad that at times I couldn’t safely work or even drive."

I first came into Dr. David’s office November 16, 2001. My symptoms started two days prior. As a server I would look where I was walking by turning my head. This would nearly cause me to black out sending me to the floor. This happened for three days before I realized that it could be my vertebrae. I believed this happened from constantly lifting heavy trays to my right side. The pain was so bad that at times I couldn’t safely work or even drive.

            The Griffo Family referred me to Dr. David. God wonderfully used Dr. David to diagnose and correct my neck subluxation. After my first visit I was symptom free for 24 hours! I have remained this way ever since. Thank You God! Thank you Dr. David!                                                  -Jeremiah Young

"No more pinched nerve feeling and my pains are gone!"

I first came to see Dr Melendez in November of 2008 with a chronic pinched nerve feeling in my neck and down into my shoulder. I decided to see if he could help since my office is in the same building upstairs. I had tried to get help before from other chiropractors, over the past 5 years, but received only temporary relief that did not last.

Dr. David took x-rays of my spine and discovered that several vertebrae and disc in my neck were compressed, subluxated and degenerating from an old injury. I also had lost the normal curve and my head was forward causing my disc to wear out fast.

Dr. David’s system of chiropractic, Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy-decompression, and rehabilitation, has helped reverse this once chronic problem. No more pinched nerve feeling and my pains are gone!

I’m feeling better overall because I don’t have a nagging pain to think about anymore. As an Off-Road Racer, I’m starting the new season full speed ahead with victory as the goal.

Thank you,

“…I was a bit skeptical of this at first.”
 
I first came to visit Dr. Dave about a month after my husband got home from Iraq. I was having severe shoulder and neck pain. I was so bad that I could hardly move my right shoulder and it was greatly affecting my quality of sleep. I thought that it must have been from the recent stress that I had in my life at the time. I saw my general practitioner and she gave me some muscle relaxers. They did not touch the pain nor did they make sleeping any less difficult. A co-worker of mine suggested that I come and see Dr. Dave. I must say I was skeptical of this at first. I had never been to a chiropractor and I didn’t think that it would help. I simply thought that it was stress.

 I am happy that I did not let my skepticism stop me from coming to see him. Within a week my symptoms were about 95% better. I was able to move freely and I was getting a restful sleep. This made everything much better. I was once again able to concentrate on work and my mood improved greatly. After a few weeks I was feeling like my old self again. After the initial 3 times a week of going to Dr. Dave, my symptoms have completely disappeared.

Thank you so much to Dr. Dave and his staff. You made this a pleasant experience for me and I feel great!
Sincerely,
