"Missing Link" Ultimate Fibromyalgia Treatment Program

Our unique Clinically Proven Fibromyalgia solution system has worked for Thousands of Americans and many of your Michigan neighbors and it can work for you to.

After several years at Oakland and Wayne State Universities and another four at Palmer Chiropractic College, I’ve painstakingly spent the last 25 years developing, what I consider to be, the ultimate Fibromyalgia Solution System and Technique. 

Over all those years, I’ve studied with the best doctors I could find and been to countless seminars to learn the most advanced natural drug-free pain relieving techniques possible.

I’ve also poured through thousands and thousands of pages in books, hours of videos and learned from quite a few more experienced doctors that practiced a variety of different Fibromyalgia techniques.  In the end, I’ve taken the best-of-the best out of everything I discovered, added my own personal touch, practiced, practiced and then practiced some more… and… came up with what I consider to be the ultimate system for relieving Fibromyalgia. 

As the years went by and I mastered my system, patients started getting remarkable results… many after the very first treatment.

The best thing about my system is I have been able to help so many Fibromyalgia sufferers who thought they had tried everything and were ready to give up.  Click here to learn more

Gentle Precise Chiropractic Adjustments

The primary job of the doctor of chiropractic is to detect, reduce, and help prevent the Vertebral Subluxation Complex using chiropractic adjustments.  Applying a carefully and precisely directed pressure to the spine in a quick manner by hand or special instrument, the doctor of chiropractic is able to restore normal motion and function to the spine, thereby reducing or eliminating the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.  Adjustments can be safely used throughout life from birth to old age. 

The "Golden Rule" in our practice is that treatment must be as pleasant as the relief experienced.  We take pride in administering precise and gentle corrective movements.  Most chiropractic treatment is called "adjusting" and is done by hand.

Traditional (Vitalistic) Chiropractic Care.  This is the foundational service that we have offered since our offices’ inception in 1983.  The primary job of the Doctor of Chiropractic is to detect, reduce, and help prevent the Vertebral Subluxation Complex using chiropractic adjustments.  In simplest terms, a subluxation (a.k.a. Vertebral Subluxation) is when one or more of the bones of your spine (vertebrae) move incorrectly (or don’t move when they should) and as a result, create pressure on, or irritate spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from between each of the bones in your spine. This pressure or irritation on the nerves then causes those nerves to malfunction and interfere with the signals traveling over those nerves.  How does this affect you?  Your nervous system controls and coordinates all the functions of your body. If you interfere with the signals traveling over nerves, parts of your body will not get the proper nerve messages and will not be able to function at 100% of their innate abilities. In other words, some part of your body will not be working properly.  It is the responsibility of the Doctor of Chiropractic to locate subluxations, and reduce or correct them. This is done through a series of chiropractic adjustments specifically designed to correct the vertebral subluxations in your spine. Chiropractors are the only professionals who undergo years of training to be the experts at correcting subluxations.  Applying a carefully and precisely directed pressure to the spine in a quick manner by hand or special instrument, the Doctor of Chiropractic is able to restore normal motion and function to the spine, thereby reducing or eliminating the Vertebral Subluxation Complex.  Adjustments can be safely used throughout life from birth to old age.

Pediatric Chiropractic and Pregnancy Holistic Health Care Care.  After attending certification training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) many years ago, Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness Center put a greater emphasis on the importance of locating and correcting the vertebral subluxation complex in infants and children as well as the pregnant mother.  Dr. Johnson and Dr. Andris love working with kids and sometimes the parents can’t tell who is the “bigger kid” – Dr. Johnson or their child.  Often unruly children become mesmerized with some “toy” or gadget that the doctors have and forget they are seeing the doctor and by then their treatment is complete.  Parents love seeing their children get well without drugs or surgery the way nature intended.  Children can’t “believe in chiropractic” and therefore are the ultimate proof that the body heals itself when the interference to the healing process is removed with natural chiropractic care. 

Mothers-to-be enjoy a more comfortable pregnancy with less chance of breech presentation thanks to specialized training and certification in Webster’s In-Utero Constraint Technique.  The Webster Technique has been shown to reduce constraint to the mother's uterus 82% of the time, allowing the baby to get into the vertex position for birth.  Chiropractic care is essential for the pregnant mother. Her systems and organs are now providing for two and their optimal function is critical for the baby's healthy development. The mother's spine and pelvis undergo many changes and adaptations to compensate for the growing baby and the risk of interference to her nervous system is increased. Specific chiropractic care throughout pregnancy works with enhancing nervous system function providing greater health potential for both the mother and baby.  Another important reason for care throughout pregnancy is to help establish balance in the mother's pelvis. Because of a lifetime of stress and trauma to her spine and pelvis, her pelvic opening may be compromised, resulting in a less than optimum passage for the baby. Williams Obstetrics Text tells us that, "Any contraction of the pelvic diameters that diminish the capacity of the pelvis can create dystocia (difficulty) during labor." They further state that the diameter of the woman's pelvis is decreased when the sacrum is displaced. Dr. Abraham Towbin, medical researcher on birth tells us that the bony pelvis may become "deformed" this way by trauma. Chiropractors define this displacement/ deformation as spinal misalignment or subluxation primarily caused by the stress of trauma.

Functional Neurological Muscle Testing (FNMT) and Analytical Tests

(Also known as body reflex testing or kinesiology)

THE BRAIN IS THE MASTER control center of the body, including the neuromusculature. We seek to understand the root cause of why you aren't healing through the combination of a variety of body reflex techniques using muscle testing including:

bullet Contact Reflex Analysis [CRA]
bullet Nutritional Response Testing [NRT]
bullet Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques [NAET])

Weaknesses can be determined in any of the systems of the body. These body reflex techniques use your own muscle resistance, are simple and painless, and can determine the origin of the blockage or condition in the body.

Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET®), combined with Clinical Nutrition and Functional Neuromuscular Testing along with dietary guidance, has been helpful in aiding our practice members eliminate allergies to various substances (environmental; grass, pollen, mold, perfumes, smoke, etc.), get rid of motion sickness, improve relationships with children, spouses, coworker and others, as well as improving their ability to adapt to their particular environment.  Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques, NAET® was developed in 1983 to eliminate food allergies, allergic reactions, and diseases arising from a variety of allergens. NAET® treatment protocols mainly encompass procedures that are modified from chiropractic, acupuncture and/or acupressure, and nutritional disciplines. NAET® treatments mainly consist of non-invasive spinal manipulative therapies along with acupuncture and/or acupressure on specific acupuncture points in the human body. NAET® has been found to be very effective for many acute and chronic conditions that are a result of hypersensitivity reactions. It is to be clearly understood that NAET® is not a solution for all ailments and diseases.  An allergic or a hypersensitivity reaction is the result when an individual reacts adversely to the substances in his environment. These substances could be the foods he/she eats on a daily basis, or any of the following substance he/she uses such as drugs, vitamins, chemicals, environmental agents like grasses, trees, flowers, perfumes, computers, plastics, etc. The list can go on (Nambudripad, 2003). To most people, these substances may be harmless, or well-tolerated, and even useful. In some people, contact with these substances may create reactions that activate the immune system to produce and release antibodies and chemical messengers to destroy the substances the body perceives as “dangerous.” These antibodies will attach to the antigens in order to export them out of the body. The rest of the defense forces of the body will arrive at the affected tissue to provide support, destroy and eliminate the intruder. More blood and lymph will flow towards the affected tissue giving rise to inflammation of the tissue.  These antigen-antibody reactions can produce symptoms like mild to severe itching, hives and various types of skin reactions, watery eyes, runny and congested sinuses, rapid heart rate, fatigue, headaches, irritability, mental confusion, insomnia, brain disorders, indigestion, gastrointestinal discomforts, various types of pain disorders, mood changes, and swelling of the joints, tongue, throat, and brain tissue.

Nutrition and Diet Therapy

There is a revolution in health care which is based on the scientific understanding that the types of foods we eat may be intimately linked to our state of health. Nutrition/Diet Therapy is a practice of evaluating an individual's nutritional deficiencies and then replacing those essential nutrients through diet modification and nutritional supplementation with vitamins and minerals and other substances. Our main focus with diet modification is based on the work of Peter J. D'Adamo, who spells out the effect foods have on our bodies based on our blood type.  Dr. Johnson is a Practitioners who is IfHI Certified.  This means Dr. Johnson has attended an IfHI certification conference, completed a course of study and have passed a certification exam. These individuals who are IfHi certified have been personally trained by Dr. D'Adamo and are fully accredited practitioners and educators.

Both Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) and Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA) are utilized to find and correct underlying nutritional inadequacies using whole food and full spectrum herbal supplements.  In addition, dietary guidance based on the blood type concept developed by Peter J. D’Adamo, are utilized in this part of our service to our practice members.  Dr. Johnson studied and became a fellow of the Institute for Human Individuality.  The Institute for Human Individuality (IfHI), a non-profit organization under the auspices of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, has as its prime goal the fostering of research in the expanding area of human nutrigenomics and epigenetics.  These emerging sciences seek to provide a molecular understanding for how common dietary chemicals affect health by altering the expression or structure of an individual’s genetic makeup.

The five basic tenets of nutrigenomics are:

bulletImproper diets are risk factors for disease.
bulletDietary chemicals alter gene expression and/or change genome structure
bulletThe degree to which diet influences the balance between healthy and disease states may depend on an individual’s genetic makeup.
bulletSome diet-regulated genes (and their normal, common variants) are likely to play a role in the onset, incidence, progression, and/or severity of chronic diseases.
bullet"Intelligent nutrition" - that is, diets based upon genetics, nutritional requirements and status - prevents and mitigates chronic diseases

Longevity Wellness Services

bulletExercise With Oxygen Therapy [EWOT]
bullet Whole Body Advanced Vibration Exercise [WAVE]
bullet Purification and Weight Management Program

Chiropractic & Nutrition Wellness Center offers leading edge "Integrative Therapeutic Modalities" tailored to meet individual needs in creating and maintaining "Optimal Wellness":

  1. First we start with an evaluation to determine your current level of nervous system health with Heart Rate Variability Analysis using Health Express and Nerve Express testing:

The Heart Rate Variability (HRV) Test is well researched and provides a quick and easy assessment of autonomic nervous system function. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates the heart, breathing, circulation, body temperature, digestion, metabolism, and hormones, among other vital functions.

The Heart Rate Variability* (“HRV”) Test, was originally developed as a screening tool to enable scientists to determine the health level and degree of functioning of the involuntary nervous system.  Thousands of the healthiest athletes and others in superior health were studied over a period of two decades to identify the common denominators of health.  A computer program based on this database of approximately 20,000 of the healthiest people was developed for use in checking the health status of the general public.

The test examines the heart rhythms and its variability*, comparing resting to its response to mild stress (changing positions from lying down to standing up).  The ability of the heart to compensate for and recover from this “challenge” gives a “snapshot” of the functioning of the involuntary nervous system (also called the “Autonomic Nervous System”).  The computer then generates a graphic picture of this function which is useful in assessing level of physical health compared to optimal health.

  1. Next we determine your perceived level of health using the Rand 36 Outcomes Assessment tool.  As part of the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) — a multi-year, multi-site study to explain variations in patient outcomes — RAND developed the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting and are now widely utilized by managed care organizations and by Medicare for routine monitoring and assessment of care outcomes in adult patients.

 

  1. Measurements of Blood Pressure and Pulse as well as Oxygen Saturation and a Perfusion Index are measured with a Tuffsat ; One of the smallest handheld oximeters available, GE healthcare's TUFFSAT is ideal for spot-checking SpO2 and Heart Rate.  We use the information to monitor the effectiveness of your longevity wellness service's effect on your nervous system and your overall health.

* Heart Rate Variability:  If your heart regularly beats at 60 beats per minute, averaging one beat per second, some of the beats may be shorter than a second and others may be longer.  This variation in length of beats is called “heart rate variability”.

Frequent Migraine Headaches Ended!

I would like to give you a great big hug and thank-you for the wonderful care that I have always received here at the wellness center. When I first came to your office, I was a little skeptical about the need for Chiropractic care. You hear so much from people who don’t know the benefits of Chiropractic care and start to believe that you will never need it either. But, I definitely did.

Before coming to the clinic, I had experienced frequent migraines and neck pain with chronic insomnia. I had missed a lot of work and had seen many neurologists and to no avail. I also received paralytics that were injected into my head to numb the right side of my head so that the pain would not be so bad so that I could continue to work and support my family. I received multiple injections and tried just about every migraine medication on the market. I was desperate for help.

I had frequent ER visits, and, one episode I was up for 5 days with pain so intense I could not sleep without strong prescription sleeping medication. My body just would not sleep. A friend at my church recommended Dr. Johnson. I was hoping Dr. Johnson would find something the others had not. Dr. Johnson told me that I had heavy metal toxicity and TMJ with subluxation to my neck. I also forgot to mention another problem I had which was weekly menstrual periods that were left uncorrected by progesterone from the ob-gyn. After 2 weeks of adjustments by Dr. Johnson, my weekly periods had stopped and had normalized! And my sleeping slowly started improving with NAET treatments and supplements. Dr. Johnson had explained that my head was in vasospasm. Because of Dr. Johnson’s diagnosis, I was able to get the corrective TMJ splint that I needed to stop the continued vasospasm in my head.

I truly believe that if I had not been seen by Dr. Johnson I would still be suffering at a magnitude too much to continue working. I am so grateful to Dr. Johnson for staying in this profession. This is one of those life experiences that you are very grateful that you had experienced. And, I am truly a believer in Jesus Christ and that he causes all things to work for our good for those that love him and are called according to his purpose. And through this experience, I have seen the goodness in others like Dr. Johnson sacrificing their time to help others which has been a blessing to me. And, in return, I have a greater compassion through the pain I suffered for those who are suffering too, which causes me to do more for others and go that extra mile to be a blessing to others. In return, life is so much more rewarding now for me. I work in one of the biggest hospitals in the state and I see a lot of suffering.

I tell many people about Dr. Johnson and the benefits that I have experienced. I tell a friend and she tells her father in law and so forth. I just print off their website page and hope they will get the help they need too. I truly believe that Dr. Johnson is an answer to my prayer and my family’s prayers. God bless you Dr. Johnson! And, I would like to sincerely say, “Thank-You!” from the bottom of my heart... I will always be thankful to you and your kind staff for all the benefits that I have experienced through your care.

You truly are a Godsend...

                                                                                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                                                                Lisa Sack, Clawson, Michigan

I Feel 25 Years Younger!

Before, I didn’t know what Chiropractic really was and I was not so sure it would be for me. Several years ago, doctors were not supportive about Chiropractic practice. But, now, I am so happy I gave Dr. Johnson a try because he helped me when no one else was able to.

I have been going to Dr. Johnson for several years now on a regular basis. Dr. Johnson has helped me overcome my headaches and several allergies and back problems. I truly believe that because of the adjustments I am getting from Dr. Johnson, I am in much better health. And, the really neat thing is that I don’t feel my age anymore- I feel more like 40 years old instead of my current age of 65 years. I exercise and ride my bike on a regular basis along with having regular visits to Dr. Johnson.

Thank you Dr. Johnson and staff! I owe you my youthful feeling and outlook on this wonderful life!

Quality of Life Improved

I believe Dr. Johnson and his staff are well trained in all phases of chiropractic therapy. I especially like the natural products that are used in his approach to many health problems that are due to bad nutrition. I am made to feel right at home and enjoy each visit.

I have had a lower back problem for many years that has caused me unbearable pain. I have gone to several medical doctors and I was not satisfied with the results. A patient of Dr. Johnson recommended that I try Chiropractic treatment. With a few tests, Dr. Johnson made an evaluation of my condition and started treatments. Since the treatments, my quality of life is very much improved along with my back problem.

Moreover, my wife, Janet, developed a severe case of vertigo causing her severe dizziness in a prone position. Janet went to her internist, and, after several tests, she was given Antivert with the hope that it would go away in time. It did not go away. Janet then sought treatment at Dr. Johnson’s Chiropractic Clinic. With no prescriptions and only three treatments, the vertigo was gone and has not returned! Her internist was also impressed with the results.

In conclusion I sincerely believe Chiropractic treatment can greatly improve the quality of life by repairing the nervous system that causes many of the medical problems that occur. Also, your health is much improved by the nutritional information you receive.

My Body is Healing All By Itself...Again!  Without Drugs or Surgery!

 

One day some twenty plus years ago, my boss told me about this wonderful Dr. Johnson. My boss was greatly helping his wife out of pain from her severe arthritis.

I had one or two adjustments from different doctors but was not convinced that I needed to pay attention to my spine. I already had a right and left hip prosthesis from a childhood disease, which give me an abnormal posture.

I decided that maybe I should take better care of my spine since so many nerves are protected by the vertebra. I started having regular adjustments with Dr. Johnson and was pleased with my added mobility and energy. I was doing maintenance and improving my posture.

As I increased in age and various physical problems arose, Dr. Johnson always had solutions. I was constantly amazed at the wealth of knowledge stored in his mind. He corrected problems generated by the spine. He corrected other problems with nutrition and exercise suggestions. N.A.E.T. (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques) greatly helped with allergy conditions. He even told me what to do for a split fingernail and it worked!

Now I do not hesitate to tell Dr. Johnson about anything going on with my body. Dr. Johnson will most likely have the answer to any problem that arises before even thinking about or resorting to medications and/or surgery.

I enjoy my hugs from this caring healer. My visits always entail laughter and I always leave with good feelings. The office staff is also pleasant and jovial. Each visit brings physical and mental healing. Thank you Dr. Johnson! Thank you!

Golfing Again!

 I’m a recreational golfer.  I like to play on a league once a week.  However, about a month ago I started having a sharp pain that went up my back and through my ribcage, especially when I twisted or rotated my body.  Naturally, this affected my golf game.  I tried to play, but it hurt too much.  I could sit, stand, walk, and lie down — but I couldn’t swing a golf club.

I went to my medical doctor and had x-rays and an EMG done.  He put me on pain medications, which helped a little.  But when the pain medication wore off, I hurt as much as before.

My wife and I had attended a couple of Dr. Johnson’s seminars.  She has gotten supplements from Dr. Johnson and we have friends who are patients of Dr. Johnson.  I thought I’d give him a try.

Dr. Johnson adjusted me three times a week for a few weeks.  I felt better by the end of the first week.  Now I feel great!  In fact, I just played golf today and did pretty well too.  Thanks, Dr. Johnson for all your help.

Back Pain Resolved!

 Last February, about five months ago, I fell over my dog.  I ended up with three herniated lumbar discs.  I was in pain all the time — 24/7.  I couldn’t lay, sit, or walk.  My medical doctor had me get an MRI.  I tried physical therapy, but it was not successful.  The doctor then suggested a shot of steroids directly into the affected area, and finally surgery.  I didn’t like that idea.

My mother suggested Dr. Johnson.  She’s been coming to Dr. J for several years and really likes him.  I had been to DO's for manipulations, to other chiropractors (I didn’t like them), and to medical doctors.  On my mother’s advice, I came to see Dr. Johnson.

I noticed a big difference after my first adjustment.  My pain became tolerable.  It was even better after my second adjustment.  I was ready to give up and now I’m alive!  It feels good to be alive!  Thanks, Dr. Johnson!

Foot Leveler’s Spinal-Pelvic Stabilizers Save the Day

For several months, Dr. Johnson has been treating me for hip and leg pain.  It was especially painful walking in the am and evening after work.

Chiropractic & Nutrition Put Me Back in the Garden

For over a year I suffered from leg cramps at least twice a night.  My medical doctor told me to take some calcium — that any kind would do.  I got some calcium supplements at the store, but they didn’t help.  My friend recommended that I see Dr. Johnson for that and the pain in my back.

I came in for chiropractic care and told Dr. Johnson about my problem.  In addition to the adjustments, he also recommended that I take special calcium that was more absorbable — Standard Process® Calcium Lactate®.  He also told me that cod liver oil would help.  I tried the cod liver oil gels but they bothered my stomach.  Then I tried the Standard Process® Tuna Omega Oil® gels.  They work fine and I’m doing much better.

I’ve also had low back pain for a long time.  I’m a Master Gardener and it was increasingly difficult to work in my gardens.  By my sixth visit I was doing so much better.  I’m sleeping through the night without any leg cramps and my low back pain is almost gone.  I’m looking forward to spring and my gardens again.

I’m happy to recommend Dr. Johnson to everyone.  Thanks, Dr. J.

Migraine Headaches Now a Distant Memory

My son Austin suffered from migraine headaches every day.  Two or three times a week they would be so bad that he would throw up.  He had been to an allergy MD and did shots, but they didn’t work.

A friend recommended Dr. Johnson.  When Dr. Johnson examined Austin, he found more than just the allergies that Austin had been treated for.  Austin started NAET treatments and soon we began to notice a difference.  Austin’s headaches subsided until now when he rarely has any.  Austin says that he can’t remember when he had his last headache.

Austin also started receiving chiropractic care for some leg pain.  Dr. Johnson said that Austin had a compressed vertebra that was causing the low back pain and the leg pain.  The adjustments have really helped that too.

Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help.

Depression, Low Energy, Sleeplessness and Lethargy

Taken Care of with Chiropractic

Dr. Johnson has been my chiropractor for over 15 years.  However, last March I had surgery on my knee.  I was on crutches for a while and couldn’t get in for my regular adjustments.

During that time, about four months, I became depressed, my energy level dropped, and I lost my appetite.  I lost eleven pounds, which I didn’t need to lose.  I felt so bad that I didn’t even feel like coming in for an adjustment when I could.

Finally, I made it in and Dr. Johnson adjusted me.  After a few adjustments I’m doing fine!  My energy levels are back up; I feel better and have more ambition.  Now I get up and do things around my house like cleaning.  I’m sleeping better now too.

I know how important it is to keep my adjustment appointments.  The adjustments are helping the pain in my knee too.  Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help.

Nasty Back Pain Gone - Able To Enjoy Life Again

Several weeks ago I realized that I had a major problem with my back.  It started slowly with a backache and progressed to the point that I couldn’t move or sit or even lie down comfortably.  I had been Dr. Johnson’s patient for several years and then stopped getting regular adjustments.  So I called him and came in.

 Dr. Johnson told me I had a sacroiliac problem.  I began regular adjustments and soon was feeling better.  Now, almost two months later I feel 15 years younger.  I have no aches or pains and I feel great!  My husband and I enjoy country western dancing.  We have for the past 12 years.  Now we can dance again.  We go to a 2-hour dance class every week and now I’m enjoying it again.

 Coming to Dr. Johnson is a great experience that I highly recommend for everyone.  He loves people and it shows.

Serious Back Pain Removed and Will To Live Restored

Three months ago I fell.  I fractured my ribs and hurt my hip.  The pain got worse and I couldn’t sleep.  It hurt to move or walk, and I couldn’t do many of my routine chores.  Even the pain medications the doctor gave me didn’t work.  I hurt so much that I didn’t care if I lived or died.

My daughter has been coming to Dr. Johnson for a couple of years and she likes him.  She brought me to see him when nothing was helping.  After a thorough exam, Dr. Johnson adjusted me. 

Now I’ve been getting adjusted for a couple of months and I felt better after 2 weeks.  Now I feel good!  I want to live!  I feel good and I can get back to my hobbies of crocheting and playing cards.

Chronic Neck Spasms and Weakness Eliminated

I had come in to see Dr. Johnson after 3 weeks of a severe muscle spasm.  I had gotten these spasms over the past five years, but they were becoming more frequent and more severe.

After being treated by Dr. Johnson, not only did I start to feel relief, I began to “feel” better.  I can walk taller, feel strength in my back and neck, and I can actually lift heavy items again.  I actually feel healthy again.

Thank you, Dr. Johnson and staff.

3 Year Old Shoulder Injury Handled with Chiropractic

Three years ago I separated my shoulder.  I went through physical therapy, but it still bothered me.  Three or four months ago, my medical doctor suggested surgery on the shoulder.  I didn’t want that!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Johnson for several years.  I told him about my shoulder and he adjusted it.  One visit and my shoulder is better.  Two minutes, that’s all it took!  Thanks, Dr. Johnson.

20 Year Long Battle With Sinus Problems Gone with Chiropractic

I’ve suffered from seasonal allergies and sinus problems for twenty years.  For several months Dr. Johnson treated me for allergies using Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET) as well as Contact Reflex Analysis (CRA).  These both worked for me and I improved; but I still had the sinus pain.

Dr. Johnson suggested that I try some chiropractic adjustments and I agreed.  After 3 or 4 adjustments I began to notice changes.  The main change was that my sinus started draining.  They drained constantly for about 5 days.  Now my head is clear in the morning when I get up.

Thanks, Dr. Johnson.  I’m enjoying being free of the constant sinus pain.

Student Back & Neck Pain Relieved

For several years I’ve suffered from low back pain and neck problems.  I carry a lot of books and a backpack for school and the weight is too much.  My neck was always popping when I took a breath.  My neck always hurt, there was always tension in my shoulders and neck, and it was hard for me to concentrate.

My mom brought me to see Dr. Johnson several months ago.  I’ve been getting regular adjustments and have noticed a big difference.  Now I have no popping in my neck and I’m more relaxed.  My back pain is gone and Dr. Johnson has taught me a lot about how to carry books and school stuff.  I rarely carry a backpack now and when I do, there’s not much weight in it.  I carry my books in my arms and keep my back straight.  My spine is aligned and I want to keep it that way.

Dr. Johnson has also helped me with my allergies, which are really bad.  I’m allergic to cats, dogs, molds, trees, grass, pollen, and more.  It’s really bad in the summer.  I’m also allergic to milk and other foods.  With Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET), I’m getting rid of allergies, too.

Thanks, Dr. Johnson.  You’ve helped me a lot this past year.

Childhood Asthma Better After First Adjustment!

Since he was four months old, my son Nathan has suffered from severe asthma attacks, especially with colds.  I would get up in the middle of the night to give him breathing treatments.

For several months, Nathan has been treated for his allergies.  His treatments have been quite successful, but he still was having asthma attacks.  I got to the point where he was waking up every night with a coughing fit due to the asthma.  I talked to Dr. Johnson about chiropractic adjustments.

After his first adjustment, Nathan only had a couple of asthma attacks.  Then after his second adjustment, Nathan only had one attack and it was so minor that I didn’t need to give him the complete breathing treatment.  I am so happy the adjustments have helped.

Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help with Nathan.

Back Pain and Sinus Problems Gone

For over two months I had been suffering from back pain.  In addition, my shoulder felt tight, my sinuses were congested, my ears crackled and I couldn’t hear very well.  A friend told me about Dr. Johnson and I decided to give him a try.

After my first adjustment, my sinuses drained.  I went through a whole box of tissues, was able to breathe better and easier.  So many things improved with the adjustments.  I had better digestion, easier periods, better sleeping, and I can hear.  I have three children (8-6-2) and between carrying kids and laundry my back really hurt.  Not anymore.

Dr. Johnson also suggested I try a special pillow, a buckwheat pillow.  I love it!  It’s firm enough for me and I can move the buckwheat hulls wherever I want them.

Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for all your help.  I’m really doing so very much better.

Help with Vertigo, Brain Fog, Neck Stiffness and Headaches

Several months ago I came to Dr. Johnson seeking help for my vertigo and brain fog.  I’m a math tutor and had difficulty concentrating.

Dr. Johnson told me that I had a heavy metal build up in my system.  I took supplements and noticed a difference within a month.  I felt more refreshed and it was easier to concentrate.  But it wasn’t until I combined the nutrition with the chiropractic that I really noticed a difference.

After my first adjustment, it was like euphoria.  My vertigo cleared up and I could turn my head.  Before the adjustments, I couldn’t turn my head around in the car to see my children in the back seat.  Also, I couldn’t look up.  Now I can do both.  I have more flexibility in my neck and no more headaches.

I’m really thankful that I found Dr. Johnson.  He’s helping me and my family.

Excruciating Lower Back Pain That Medical Doctors Couldn't Help - Gone!

Several weeks ago I suffered from severe, excruciating low back pain.  I went to my rheumatoid arthritis doctor (MD), who gave me pain pills, recommended physical therapy, and told me to stay home from work.  I’m a single person and sole support of myself so I can’t afford to miss work.  I couldn’t work, bend, or function normally.  I was in tears.

I told my daughter, who is Dr. Johnson’s patient.  She told me to see Dr. Johnson.  I did and it was the best choice I ever made!

Dr. Johnson and his staff treated me well.  I had x-rays and exams and then Dr. Johnson explained to me that I suffered from pain in my sciatic nerve.  He adjusted my spine and I felt better almost instantly.  I’ve been getting regular adjustments and feeling better and better. 

I still have a little bit of pain, but I have been able to keep working.  Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for helping me get my life back.

A couple of years ago I had some serious pain in my right side.  I had difficulty walking and couldn’t sleep.  I went to my MD who prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants.  I went through three regimens of pills and was still in a lot of pain.

My business partner is Dr. Johnson’s patient and recommended that I see him.  I came in and discussed my problem with Dr. J.  After the exam and x-rays, Dr. Johnson adjusted my spine.  I couldn’t believe the difference!  My pain was gone!

Since then I’ve been coming regularly for adjustments.  My pain is gone and I’ve been feeling great.  I travel by car a lot.  Recently I took a 5200 mile trip without any back problems.  In one day I drove 1,025 miles from Terre Haute, IN to Tucumcari, NM with zero back fatigue.  I do use the lumbar support when driving and I know that helps a lot.

Thanks, Dr. J., I couldn’t have done it without you.

Michael Zaverzence is a World War II veteran whose B-24 plane crashed.  Four men died in the crash and three survived.  Mike was a survivor — but one with many serious injuries.  Injuries, both physical and mental, that took years to heal and pain that has never gone away.

“My friend suggested that I see Dr. Johnson, that he might be able to help with the pain.  He did.  I’m still feeling pain, but it’s better.   I like to get adjusted because it feels so good.  I tingle all over.  After each adjustment, I can stretch my neck and arms and my face feels nice.  When Dr. Johnson adjusts my neck, I have more feeling in my arms and my whole body.  Although I don’t have full movement on my right side, the adjustments help me move and stretch.

With the adjustments I feel better and sleep better.  I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Johnson.  If he didn’t help me, I wouldn’t come.  Thanks for your help.”

Recently I was doing some household projects and I really overdid it.  I was in a do-it-yourself mood and decided to stain my patio.  I spent a lot of time on my hands and knees staining this patio. 

I consider myself in reasonably good shape.  When I finished the patio, I played tennis for two and a half hours.  Soon after, I found myself in a lot of pain.  My shoulder hurt and my upper back and the pain went all the way down my arm to my hand, which became numb.

I’ve been a patient here for several years.  I called and came to see Dr. Johnson right away.  He adjusted my neck and shoulder and I had instant relief!  That’s right!  One adjustment and I had instant pain relief.  Dr. Johnson told me that my shoulder was misaligned.

I’m really grateful to Dr. Johnson and all his help over the years; but this was the quickest pain relief I’ve felt and it was great.

My brother had a bone marrow transplant last week and I couldn’t go visit him because I felt sick and run down.  I also had a sinus headache that wouldn’t go away.

This was my first-ever sinus headache and I hope I never get any more.  The headache lasted for over a week.  I came in for my regular adjustment with Dr. Johnson and told him about my headache.  He adjusted my neck and my headache went away.  Now my sinuses are draining and I feel 100 per cent better.  This occurred within ten minutes of my adjustment and my frontal sinus headache dissipated concurrently.  The whole drainage process took about 3 hours.

I realized that what got me into this mess in the first place was that I had put my supplements away (I usually keep them on the counter) because we were selling our house.  During those few weeks before my headache, I missed a lot of my supplements because they weren’t in plain view.  Soon I felt sick and my face broke out.  The house is sold and the supplements are back on the counter and I haven’t forgotten to take them.  I really do feel a lot better.  And now, thanks to Dr. Johnson, my headache is gone too.

Last Labor Day I hurt my neck and shoulder.  I was in a lot of pain.  In fact, the only pain I had ever experienced that was as intense was labor and childbirth.  The pain was really bad!

I went to my medical doctor who prescribed muscle relaxants and pain pills.  These affected me so that I couldn’t function — couldn’t go to work or drive.  My husband’s friend was seeing a chiropractor in Grosse Pointe Woods and he recommended that I see Dr. Johnson here in Shelby. 

Since coming to Dr. Johnson, I have seen slow, steady improvement.  I am continually getting better.  Dr. Johnson checked me out and told me I had more problems than just my neck and shoulder.  I was surprised to hear that, but am doing much better overall.  I consider myself  at 95%.  I still have some minor neck pain.  The worst of it is when I get my hair washed in the salon.  I hate bending my neck backwards for a shampoo.  But it keeps getting better.  I also had high blood pressure and that has now normalized.

I’ve enjoyed coming to Dr. Johnson.  The staff has been great.  They greet me by name and make it worth coming as often as I’ve had to.  I was always skeptical about chiropractic; however, my husband talked me into coming here after I was injured.  Now I’m glad he did.

 I’ve been a patient here at the clinic for a long time.  When I came in for my next appointment, I told Dr. Johnson about my arm.  He showed me some exercises to do and in four weeks the pain was completely gone.

For years I suffered from neck pain.  When I was in school, my neck would always hurt so much that I would wish that it would go away.  I was also having trouble with my knees hurting.  I’m in marching band, playing the flute and piccolo, and I always had sore knees from marching.

My mom comes to Dr. Johnson and brought me to see him for my knees.  I started getting adjustments and soon I realized that my neck pain wasn’t as bad.  Now it’s almost completely gone.  And, I’m doing betting with my knees in marching band.

Two years ago I marched in the Thanksgiving Day Parade and I was really sore.  This year I’m in the parade again and I’m looking forward to my knees not hurting.

Two years ago I slipped and fell under a desk.  I really hurt my lower back.  I spent a lot of time going to doctors to get some relief for the pain.  I took all kinds of pain medication.  One hospital even told me I had a tumor on my spinal cord.  My left leg hurt so much that I couldn’t put any pressure on it.  As a result, I developed a limp.

 Over ten years ago I had seen Dr. Johnson and my mother comes to him for her adjustments.  I thought he might be able to help me when no one else could.  I had heard good things about him and I decided to give it a shot. 

After my first visit, Dr. Johnson told me he knew exactly what was wrong — that my SI joint was locked.  He adjusted me and I felt 100% better.  The sharp stabbing pain was gone!  I’ve had two adjustments now and the bad pain is gone.  I’m still tender and sore, but I’m losing my limp and walking, sitting and standing so much better.

 If I had known this, I’d have come two years ago!  Thanks, Dr. Johnson, for your help.

For over five years I’ve suffered from severe migraine headaches.  I went to all kinds of doctors, even neurologists.  I’d have four to seven migraines each week and found it difficult to do most anything during a headache.  I took all kinds of drugs hoping for relief, but I only felt worse, sometimes fuzzy, and the pain never totally went away. 

For years my friends who are Dr. Johnson’s patients tried to get me to come to him.  Finally, I said, “What have I got to lose?” and made my appointment.

I started getting adjusted and within 10 days I noticed a difference.  I’ve only been coming for 3 weeks now, but I haven’t had a severe headache in one and a half weeks — a record for me.

For five to six years I had suffered with low back pain and for two years with neck pain.  It became so bad that I couldn’t do the things I love — working around the house, gardening, archery, and canoeing.  I was really at my wits end.

My wife has been coming to Dr. Johnson for some time.  She strongly suggested that it would be a good idea for me to see Dr. Johnson and find out if he could help me.  Well, I did and he could.

That was four months ago.  The progress has been slow but steady.  After two months of adjustments I really noticed a difference.  Now I can do all the things that I love without experiencing a lot of pain.

The staff has been great.  They bend over backwards to make appointments and to reschedule them when necessary.  Everyone is so friendly, it’s a great place to come.

I’ve recommended Dr. Johnson to my co-workers and I recommend him to you too.  Thanks, Dr. Johnson.

Last November I was moving some x-ray films at work and hurt my back, neck and shoulder.  The pain was so bad that I couldn’t do anything — cook, clean, do laundry, or even carry my 2-year-old daughter.  I also had blinding headaches and my hand went numb.

Since I work at a hospital, I was told to do what their doctors told me.  So I took lots of drugs, had an EMG, and went to physical therapy twice a week for several weeks from December, 2001 to March, 2002.  When the doctors told me I needed to take anti-depressants to combat the side effects of the drugs and the depression from not getting better, I said that was enough.

My fiancé is Dr. Johnson’s patient and he told me to have Dr. Johnson check me out.  Since I didn’t know where to turn, I came here.

What a difference!  I couldn’t believe it, but after my first adjustment, there was a big difference.  I could easily turn my head (so driving became much easier), do laundry and cook again.  Since beginning chiropractic care, my headaches have disappeared and I feel better than I did before my injury.  I started coming three times a week and am now down to once a week.  Dr. Johnson gave me exercises to do, and they have helped tremendously.

I’ve recommended Dr. Johnson to my whole family and my friends.

I was a Chiropractic Skeptic Until ........

I was diagnosed with severe anemia and ulcerated colitis.

I was very ill and had no energy. My husband was aggressively searching for a nutritionist after becoming totally fed-up with traditional medical treatments of drugs, more drugs and drugs that might help with the colitis but might be toxic to my liver and kidneys. We knew there had to be a better way.

A very good friend saw how sick I had become and was very concerned. She made an appointment with Dr. Johnson for me.  I agreed to keep the appointment, but only for his nutritional program, for I did not believe in chiropractic. I did not have any pain in my back and could not see how "cracking" my back could possibly help colitis.   

Today I feel better than I have in years. I am totally drug free. And the only side effects I have experienced under Dr. Johnson's care have been healthier skin, teeth and gums, stronger hair and nails, just healthier all around. When you feel good, you’re just naturally happier. To that my husband says "Thank you, Dr. Johnson." And I thank you too.

have two wonderful children and was fortunate enough to receive chiropractic and nutrition care during both pregnancies.  Since I had been coming to Dr. Johnson for two years before my son Phillip was born, I was already familiar with chiropractic adjustments and the positive effect they have.

I had some morning sickness with both children, but I took some ginger on Dr. Johnson’s advice and that helped.  My worst problem during both pregnancies was low back pain.  I really looked forward to each week’s visit to the clinic.  My adjustment helped me immensely.  Each week I could count on Dr. Johnson’s adjustment to ease the low back pain and make me feel so much better. 

When I had ear or sinus infections, Dr. J was right there with supplements to help me through.  When I felt weak, Dr. J gave me special supplements to help build and strengthen my immune system.  He also gave me a great deal of information on pregnancy and delivery.  This helped my husband and I make decisions that affected how we handled the delivery of our children.  One      thing we did was not go to the hospital until labor was well advanced.  In fact, both children were born about 20 minutes after I got to the hospital.  They were both quick and easy deliveries thanks to all the good care I had from Dr. Johnson.

We also brought both children in to Dr. J for adjustments before they were two weeks old.  This helped them be healthy.  In fact, we all get adjusted regularly.  Whenever one gets “under the weather,” we go to Dr. Johnson for care.  Both children are also being raised without dairy — we use soy milk or Rice Dream.

So following Dr. J’s advice on ginger, eating healthy, and getting regular adjustments really helped me get through my pregnancies and deliveries.  And continuing care along with our children has made our family healthy and happy.  Thanks, Dr. Johnson.

I can roll over and jump up!  Not much you say.  Well, for over two years I was in so much pain, had so many back spasms that in order to get up off the floor (my favorite place for TV watching), I had to roll over slowly, get up on hands and knees, steady myself and somehow push and pull myself up.  Now, after several months of adjustments with Dr. Johnson, I can quickly roll over and jump up.

I’ve suffered from severe low back pain and muscle spasms for over two years.  I came to Dr. Johnson to find some relief a few months ago.  Not only couldn’t I easily get up off the floor, getting out of bed was also a problem.  It was very painful getting up each day.  Now I have no pain and get out of bed quickly each morning. 

I still occasionally have some spasms and pain, but nowhere near what they were and sometimes none at all.  I’m grateful to Dr. Johnson for all he has done for me.  I’ve heard a lot of people complain that chiropractic is no good, ineffective.  BUT I can honestly say that IT WORKS.  Yes, it works!

I came to Dr. Johnson about five months ago.  I had been to one of his seminars and at the time I was looking for someone who wouldn’t prescribe drugs.  I had been on so many for my blood pressure and my heart that I was fed up.

A friend of my daughter’s works for Dr. Johnson and recommended that I attend one of his nutrition seminars, especially the one on heart problems and care.  My wife and I attended and some time later I decided to give Dr. Johnson a try.

My problem is that I’ve always felt good, even though I had to have angioplasty for a blocked artery.  My cardiologist and my other doctor both put me on drugs for my heart, my high cholesterol, and my high blood pressure.  I wanted to get off the drugs.  Then my cardiologist wanted to do another heart catherization.  I asked him if he did a bad job the first time!  I did not have it done.

When I came to Dr. Johnson, I decided to take matters into my own hands.  My adjustments have helped immensely.  My blood pressure is now in the normal range and remains so.  Dr. Johnson and his staff were great.  They explained everything to me and made certain I understood it all.  Dr. Johnson is very educational.  I like that.  Thanks, Dr. J.

SUCCESS STORY

Dr. J has asked me for a success story, but I don't know where to begin. Do I begin with the added energy I experienced even after just one visit? No, maybe I should talk about the clearing of my sinuses and the fact that I can now breath freely through my nose for the first time in memory. Or, maybe I should talk about my increased mobility and ease of movement. (After only a few months’ of visits I can now stand for longer than 5 minutes without experiencing back pain, a first since a horse fell on me some 20 years ago.) Or I could talk about the improvement in my migraine headaches, asthma and insomnia.

But then, maybe I should talk about Mama. She's 83 and has been pretty much bed-ridden for 2 years as a result of an illness that was treated with high doses of steroids. Alter Dr. J. did a CRA exam, he put her on some supplements to help her body repair the damage done by the steroids. The results have been nothing short of miraculous. She feels better, is more alert and interested in life, and in general is on her way to becoming the interesting active person she was before her illness. In addition to offering properly balanced nutritional supplements, the doctor has been doing gentle adjustments to her back and neck. Her poor “cricked up” back is stronger and more comfortable and, for the first time in her life, her feet aren't cold.

Do I recommend Dr. Johnson? You bet! I am 52 years old, a full time professional in the high stress field of data processing, and sole caregiver for my disabled mother. The doctor's hours are convenient, his office staff is understanding and flexible, and his treatment works. Since starting with Dr. J., I have more energy, I sleep better, I'm less worded about my mother, and for the first time in a long while I'm able to look to the future with hope and optimism.

You do not have to have such extreme problems to be helped by Dr. Johnson. Give him a try. You have nothing to lose but your pain and discomfort.

I was suffering from severe pain in the back of my left hip whenever I moved.  This was very difficult for me because I had already had both of my hips replaced.  One replacement was 19 years old and the other was 20 years old.  To be honest, I was quite afraid that I would have to have my left hip replaced again.

I waited for two weeks in severe pain.  Finally, as a last resort, I called Dr. Johnson and decided to come in for an adjustment.  I have been getting regular adjustments since 1992 and I thought maybe Dr. Johnson could help me.

Dr. Johnson adjusted my left sacroiliac joint and the pain left immediately.  I don’t need to have any surgery!  I’ve learned my lesson.  Next time I have any pain, I’ll call immediately rather than wait for my regular adjustment and worry.

I was skeptical when I first came to see Dr. Johnson, but my wife was already a practice member and I thought it might help.  I had three major problem areas: my lower back was inflamed most of the time; my middle back was tight; and my neck had limited mobility.  I suffered from various aches and stiffness as a result of my working at desk and computer all day.

After four months of adjustments, I can honestly say that I have no inflammation in my lower back; there is more range of motion in my middle back; and my neck has only localized periodic stiffness.

In addition, Dr. Johnson also adjusted my little finger, which was displaced and has arthritis.  It is much better with the adjustments.

When my boss asked me where I was going today, I told him that I was going to the chiropractor.  He asked if it did any good and I told him how much better I feel.  I really believe in the benefits of regular chiropractic adjustments now.
