Before coming to Dubner Chiropractic, I thought I was dying. I had been suffering about four years from migraines, low back pain, severe fatigue and intense sugar cravings. Whenever I went outside, the headaches would get worse. At times, the fatigue was intense to the point of momentary unconsciousness. I was so forgetful, which I felt terrible about. I could not even walk for ten minutes because of swollen feet, legs, shoulder and back pain. I had to rely on my husband to run all of our errands. I fell asleep at night with tears in my eyes because of the pain in my low back.
Within four weeks of starting care, I could feel more energy flowing through me, and I knew I could trust these doctors. I decided to do the Health Rejuvenation Food Plan right away. It helped reduce the sugar cravings. The food tips and suggestions they gave me made it easy, and now I follow a new way of eating daily, which has made a huge difference in how I feel. Within one short month, my periods went from being totally miserable for 3 – 5 days to not bad and that is great! I now run errands all day without throwing up or having migraines. I can walk for thirty to forty minutes at a time with no swollen feet and legs, and no low back pain. My posture has improved and I’m standing taller than ever before. At night I fall asleep easily and sleep well. I have less stress and more energy. Even my memory has improved. I’m delighted to feel so good. I’m so much happier. I used to cry before I came here because of sadness. After only one month I cried again, but for joy! The Dubners have magic in their fingers! I feel like I’ve been given a second chance at life.
I’ve been coming to Dubner Chiropractic for 2 ½ months. Before I came, I thought I was as healthy as one can be, but I was about to find out otherwise. In that short amount of time, I am happy to report that I am feeling even healthier than when I originally came in. What brought me to Dubner Chiropractic was exercise-induced back pain. I had heard about Network Chiropractic and was happy to find a practitioner in the area. Dr. Allen’s gentle adjustments have helped my whole body to feel better after just a few sessions. What I hadn’t anticipated when coming to this office was working with Dr. Sharon, receiving her gentle acupressure treatments for my allergies. The allergies had started around 8 years old. When I had allergy testing done on my back, I was allergic to almost every type of mold, dust, pollen, flower, tree, grass, weed, and animal dander. I had seen multiple doctors in both China and the U.S. for these symptoms. They prescribed medications, nasal sprays, and even shots, none of which completely alleviated my symptoms. The moment I stopped with the prescriptions, my allergies would return, and even with the meds, I couldn’t breathe through my nose. I am happy to report that after 1 ½ months of treatment, I am now able to breathe through my nose for the first time since I was a kid. My family and friends are amazed! Another unexpected improvement was in the case of long-term athlete’s foot of 14 years. Over the years, I had seen dermatologists who prescribed creams, which worked, but only as long as I was using them. Recently I resisted the urge to use the cream when the familiar symptoms crept up. At that time I was on the 2 Week Food Plan to strengthen my immune system. Without any cream the symptoms disappeared and have not returned since. I have also noticed that I am able to adapt easier to the stresses of daily life, and am more flexible in my thoughts and attitudes. Coming to Dubner Chiropractic has been amazing. The adjustments are so refreshing, as are the Dubners’ sense of humor. Even though I was already very healthy and active, I did not realize how much improvement I could have beyond that – and THAT is what I want for others. I have recommended this care to my wife, friends and parents, and continue to encourage others to visit Dubner Family Chiropractic Center.
I originally came to the Dubners with neck and back pain issues related to poor posture. I had seen a physical therapist a couple years ago who told me my posture was causing pinched nerves. I went to a traditional chiropractor for almost a year after that with discouraging results – I was in more pain, and had developed a limp when walking. With nothing seeming to work, I became anxious and depressed, and was prescribed medications to treat those symptoms.
Since becoming a patient at Dubner Chiropractic, I’ve had so many improvements which have brought me a tremendous boost of satisfaction. My posture has improved; the limp is gone. I’m no longer on medications for anxiety and depression. I find it easier to be present, energetic and happy. I have had bowel and urinary flow improvements. I’m not cold even though I no longer have a Thyroid. I sleep much better, without the night sweats I had before. I’m more in touch with my body’s needs. I love myself and others even more than before. I finally have the life I’ve been wanting. Coming to Dubner Chiropractic has been good for me physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The staff is genuinely happy to see me and truly cares for me. I love coming to the office, and I tell people about it all the time! I’m so excited to be alive!
I first came to see the Dubners with severe headaches, back pain and leg pain. The headaches began after I had been in an accident when I was 7 or 8. After the accident, I couldn’t walk without pain for years. I saw other chiropractors, even long-term, with no lasting improvements. Eventually, I was diagnosed with cancer on top of my existing pain. The pain from the radiation associated with chemotherapy was immense. I was prescribed multiple pain-killers by medical doctors. The pain-killers caused nausea and vomiting, and gave me the chills all over. Another side-effect of the drugs they prescribed was memory loss. I felt embarrassed that I was unable to remember even short-term conversations. My hair was also falling out, which was difficult. The stress became overwhelming.
When I started being treated by the Drs. Dubner, I noticed improvement in my headaches, back pain and leg pain within only a few days. That was great! I’ve been gently treated for about 3 months now, and am happy to report that the leg and back pain has gone from constant to intermittent; and the headaches, which improved with each treatment, are now gone! Dr. Sharon’s work has even helped my hair to start growing back! In less than 3 months my memory has improved, I feel less stressed and more peaceful. I also have a better attitude towards life, feel much more aware, and am more accepting of what comes. I am so thankful to have found these doctors! I wish I had found this place sooner, as my life has improved so much already. I highly recommend Dubner Chiropractic to anyone, even if they have not had great results with other chiropractors.
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,

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.
In November of 2004 I was involved in an auto accident and was rear ended by an 1800-GOT-JUNK truck. I had excruciating pain in my mid and lower back, so my grandmother rushed me over to see Dr. Allen to get an adjustment. (more…)
The Medical Doctors told me I had a prolapsed disc in my lower back and suggested heavy medication for the pain and surgery down the road as my only solutions. When I came to see the the Doctors Dubner, I had to be physically helped into the office by my husband because my leg was so numb and painful that I was unsteady on my feet. (more…)
I attended one of Dr. Allen and Dr. Sharon’s talks about 20 years ago. When I first started coming in, I had terrible back and hip pain and constant ringing in my ears. I also had trouble breathing through my nose. (more…)
