I have now been seeing the Dubners for about 7 months and I am so happy that I made the decision to make my health a number one priority. I had suffered with many symptoms relating to Fibromyalgia for at least 2 years. I had limited mobility and stamina, I couldn’t do anything that I enjoyed doing; just functioning through the day was enough! The most fantastic of my changes is I have use of my thumb again and my reach has improved, I can now scratch my back!!! I also no longer have to wear a wrist brace. My mobility has increased in my neck; I can look over my shoulder, something that I couldn’t previously do! My body is learning to work right again!! I feel a wonderful sense of achievement in my health and I owe that to the Dubners gentle adjustment technique. I have done something just for me, for my health. The results are fantastic and I feel so much better about life!

I first came to see Dr. Allen and Dr. Sharon Dubner because a friend of mine told me that the Dubners perform specialized advanced chiropractic work. He told me that when no other chiropractor or medical doctor had been able to help him the Dubners were successful in helping him with his severe allergies, back pain, and muscle stiffness. When first coming to see the Dubners I was chronically ill. I had constant shooting pains down my left arm and limited range of motion in my neck and shoulders. My muscles were so spasmed that joints in my body would dislocate at times. My previous doctor had taken x-rays, which showed that I had arthritis in my neck. It looked very calcified and he told me that it should never look that way and that because of the severity of my arthritis, surgery may be necessary. Adjustments at my previous chiropractor did not help and my arthritis worsened to the point where my other arm also started to freeze up. Due to my pain and disability, I thought my days of working construction were over. In addition to my arthritis symptons, I had chronic painful digestive problems, chronic fatigue, and chronic flu-like symptoms. When I received the gentle chiropractic adjustments from Drs. Dubner, they didn’t twist my neck at all and there were no cracking sounds. It was very gentle yet extremely powerful. Within only 3 months of beginning care, the shooting pains in my arms and shoulders was completely gone. I also had a much greater range of motion in my neck!! I can effectively do my job again, without pain or any disability. I also no longer have chronic digestive problems, chronic fatigue, or flu symptoms!! Thank you Drs. Dubner for the fantastic, special, and very successful health care you provide.

I have been going to the Dubners since 1994. I first came to the office because I started experiencing numbness in my hands. It took only six months of treatment to be rid of the numbness. It has now been 10 years and the numbness has never returned. In 2004, I began to experience pain in my right ovary and the right side of my lower back. It ws extremely painful and would come and go. I couldn’t sit down for long periods of time. My medical doctor gave me an ovarian ultrasound and a colonoscopy, but found nothing to explain the pain. Within 2 weeks of Chiropractic treatment, the pain in my ovary and lower back is now 95% gone. I always look forward to my visits at Dubner Chiropractic Center. The staff is so friendly and the office has such a positive atmosphere.

I attended a talk that the Doctor Dubners did at East West Bookstore and decided to come and see them for a muscle knot in my neck the size of a golf ball, plus pain in my neck, shoulders, arms, and hands due to a work injury two years earlier. I had seen a physical therapist, a regular chiropractor, did myofacial massage, ultra-sound therapy, and electrotherapy. I took anti-inflammation medication, muscle relaxers, and pain killers -with no results. It has been a year now since I’ve come to see the Dubners and “suffering” is no longer a part of life. Within 3 days of starting treatment, the muscle knot decreased and is now almost gone. The pain in my neck, shoulders, arms, and hands hardly bothers me. I sleep better and feel less mental stress. The office and staff are “WONDERFUL” and I look forward to my office visits!

I was a basket case when I first came to Dubner Family Chiropractic.  I was suffering with plantar fascitis.  I had it first on one foot and by the time I came to Dr. Sharon and Dr. Allen, I had it on both feet.  I had tried cortisone shots and a cast on my foot.  This was temporary relief.  I was also having trouble with tendonitis in my right arm and severe neck pain.  There was a ringing in my ear and I was having hot flashes.  Plus I wasn’t sleepingvery well at night. Being a nurse and on my feet all day long was very difficult for me.  I really didn’t know what I was going to do.  I couldn’t even go to the store for more then a few minutes at a time.  I had difficulty even walking to the end of the block.  My energy level was so low.  The doctor’s thought it was my thyroid and it turned out to be my adrenals.  The adrenals were weak from all the cortisone shots I had received. I am Plantar Fasciitis free now.  I have no problem with standing for long periods of time.  I hope to be enjoying walking and bicycling again soon!  Dr. Sharon had been working on my Adrenals and my energy level is wonderful.  The pain in my arm and neck is all gone.  The ringing in my ear has disappeared and so did the hot flashes.  I am sleeping much better at night.  The stress in my life doesn’t get to me.  I tend to be a perfectionist and now I can let things go. I would recommend Dubner Family Chiropractic to everyone.  I can’t tell you how much the positive reinforcement from both Dr. Sharon and Dr. Allen has meant to me.  I just keep coming because they make me feel so GOOD!

I attended an allergy talk by the Drs. Dubner at the Saratoga YMCA late July of 2005. Before starting care with the Dubners, I had pain in my left shoulder which radiated to my arm and hand which I’ve had for about a year and a half and was progressively getting worse. It was so painful and numb that sometimes I couldn’t sleep at night. I also had trouble losing weight even though I exercised on a daily basis. I had been diagnosed with a thyroid problem 17 years ago. My thyroid problem would make my face and ankles constantly puffy, now, there is no more puffiness. Additionally, I had a lot of asthma-related symptoms including bronchitis. Last winter, I was on Prednisone and antibiotics constantly. This winter, so far so good. No bronchitis and no medications. I have been receiving care from Dr. Allen and Dr. Sharon for almost 5 months now and I feel much better than I have in years!! My shoulder pain is completely gone! I no longer have pain radiating down my arm and hand when doing an activity! I’ve lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks! I have no more asthma symptoms so I have stopped using my inhalers almost completely and no Prednisone and antibiotics! No more bronchitis! On top of all that, I don’t feel tired all the time like I used to. I’d like to thank the doctors and their staff. They are very helpful and kind. I think people who are still in debate or unsure should give the Dubners a try. For those who are starting out should stick it out for at least 4-6 months to allow enough time for their own results.

I have been coming to the Dubners’ for 3 months and in that short time I have been able to rid myself of lower back pain, allergies, and sugar cravings! I know it sounds impossible; I was skeptical too when I first came to their office. I had already tried so many different doctors! I went to an allergist, acupuncturist, other chiropractors, and a physical therapist. Nothing worked! Thanks to Dr. Allen’s and Dr. Sharon’s approach I am a changed woman! I used to have to take Allegra, Claritin, and Flonase for my allergies’ but not anymore! I had lower back pain from a car accident I was in 20 years ago, and now it’s significantly reduced! I used to have intense sugar cravings, and now they are gone! Additionally, my eternally cold hands have finally warmed up! My results have been so amazing that I would recommend this work to ANYONE!
