What brought me to Dubner Chiropractic was the extreme pain in my hands, legs, and most of my joints due to my rheumatoid arthritis. It got to the point where it was so severe in the winter time, I could not go outside. I went to see a doctor who specialized in rheumatoid arthritis and he prescribed me numerous heavy drugs with tons of side affects. I was taking up to 30 pills a day. I wanted to stop taking the drugs so it would not cause any permanent damage to my body. After 3 months of care with Dr. Sharon and Dr. Allen, my pain is almost completely gone, and I am no longer on any medications. My emotional state is much more balanced, and I no longer have to stress about the pain I was having. I was so amazed when the pain went away; I have so much more energy and am happier all around. The doctors are so loving and caring with their patients; I would definitely recommend this care to everyone.
I feel like I have a new lease on life. For more than 25 years, I lived with fatigue, overwhelm, back pain, widespread muscle and joint pain, sinus problems, insomnia, brain fog and depression. Year by year, the symptoms increased and my weight increased right along with them. There were mornings that I couldn’t touch a place on my body that did not hurt.
In the past 7 months since I have been seeing the Dubners, things have changed dramatically. My energy level is amazingly improved. I have lost over 30 pounds, and the pain is significantly reduced and continues to decrease. I am off all medications. It is an ongoing process of peeling off the layers it seems. As each new layer is revealed, I feel like I am rediscovering myself. I am standing up straighter and taller both physically and emotionally. It is comfortable to live in this body for the first time in more years than I count. I have the energy and the focus to get things done. I have learned how to play. There is a bounce in my step, flexibility and ease in my movements, and a newfound joy and contentment. It is so good to be smiling again.
Thank you Dr. Sharon and Dr. Allen,

For the past 9 months, I couldn’t make a fist or close my fingers. My medical doctor said he could not help me with what he said was arthritic hands. Because of high blood pressure, the medical doctor had me on high blood pressure medications. The high blood pressure meds had side effects of heaviness in my head. Because of insomnia and the fatigue it caused, I would run around like a zombie because I didn’t have any energy to do basic things.
I started seeing Dr. Allen and Dr. Sharon in October 2010. On the 9th day of treatment, I could close my left hand again and make a fist! Two days later, I could close my right hand! I’m sleeping much better now and get 6 hours of sleep a day, sometimes 6 ½ or even 7. It’s fabulous! Very quickly after starting care with the Dubners, my high blood pressure dropped so much that my medical doctor greatly decreased the blood pressure medication I had been on. The side effect from the pills of “heavy head” went away when I stopped the meds. Also I no longer have sugar cravings, and the Dr. Dubner taught me how to eat more healthfully.
I give a big “Yes” to recommending Dubner Family Chiropractic. You do get results and so soon! I have so much more energy and feel so much better. I can now enjoy the things I love to do like walking and gardening.

When I was 13, I had a severe water skiing accident which started my back problems. I developed scoliosis with 5 discs becoming rotated 45 degrees. That developed into Arthritis. Over the years, I had several more accidents. I have had back pain for the last forty years.
I have tried several different chiropractors and medical doctors, but none of them could correct my problems.
Since starting care with Dubner Family Chiropractic Center in March 2010, my constant back pain is now gone and I barely have any back pain at all!!! Also I am getting my waist back, my posture has improved greatly, I have regained some of my height and I am handling stress so much better and I am a lot calmer!
I am thankful that I found the Dubners and I recommend their care because their treatments work, treat the whole body, and everything they do is delivered with lots of love.
To summarize, my entire experience at Dubner Family Chiropractic Center was extraordinary! The staff possess the qualities of kindness and caring which are so important to a recovering patient.
For many years I was suffering from painful osteoarthritis in every joint and had terrible pain in the nerves on my ankle. I was diagnosed with degenerative discs causing me severe pain in my lower back. I tried many different treatments. I tried physical therapy and acupuncture. Then, I went to my primary doctor and ask to see a neurologist, but instead I was sent to integrated medicine. There they prescribed me cortisone shots. The shots did not have any real side effects, but after 3 months I did not want to keep fueling my body with all these medications. None of these treatments seem to work for me. My body was suffering, it was getting harder and harder for me to do different things and I was becoming less enthusiastic. The pain level and my fatigue were so terrible that I got to the point where I did not even want to attempt to do anything. I have been going to Dr. Allen and Dr. Sharon for just 6 weeks and I have seen such great results! My general pain level was once an excruciating 10 but now it has decreased to a 1 or 0, which none of the medications I was taking were able to do. Due to the great decrease in my pain level, I feel more active and wanting to do more activities. As far as my muscle in my hamstring, it has improved significantly in strength. I do not feel as much hamstring pain and more importantly I have less muscle spasms. My constant fatigue has decreased and now I am more energetic. I am more relaxed and I appreciate regular daily things every chance I get. As an extra bonus my sinus congestion cleared up!
I first found out about Dubner Chiropractic from a talk that Drs. Dubner did at Stanford back in May 2004. For two years before coming in to see the Dubners, I had been experiencing pain from osteoarthritis and my energy level was low, especially in the evening, which I thought was due to my sleep apnea. In the last two months since I began seeing the Dubners, my energy level has skyrocketed and the pain from my osteoarthritis is almost gone. Not even a year later, I’ve noticed that my fingernails are much stronger and I know it’s because of the treatments I’ve been receiving from the Doctors, because all my life I’ve had brittle nails that had extremely slow growth that never grew past the tip of my nail bed. Any growth I did have would splinter and then break off. I’ve never tried to get them treated, but I was always frustrated about them. I always thought it was from a lack of calcium, but I found out from Dr. Allen that a weak thyroid was to blame. Now they don’t break and I actually have long nails! Healing begins as soon as you even start thinking about starting treatment in their office. This place is peaceful, soothing, and promotes wellness and healing!!!
