I came to see the Dubners because I had learned that their chiropractic care was totally gentle, with no twisting of the spine or cracking sounds. Before beginning care with Dr. Allen I would say that I had suffered from headaches (often severe ones), neck stress and shoulder tension for over 10 years. I learned to get by with my headaches which occurred at least every few weeks. I have now been under Dr. Allens’ care for 7 months and I feel so much better physically. My neck and shoulder tension is greatly improved and my headaches have reduced dramatically, especially the severe ones. If you’re a person who suffers from headaches you will truly understand the significance of what Dr. Allen’s’ care has done for my life.

Before I first came to Dubner Chiropractic, I was startled awake several times during the night with hot flashes. Then I would remain awake fro 1-3 hours each time. Needless to say, I was not getting much sleep. Months ago this improved to the point that I’d have a hot flash, throw off the covers, cool off in a couple of minutes, pull the covers back on and go right back to sleep. This was a great improvement! Recently I’ve started sleeping through the night 2-3 times a week. The hot flashes are so much less severe that I often just uncover my arm and fall right back to sleep. When I work, my attention is on someone else so I never paid much attention to my hot flashes, but I remember getting very uncomfortable and sometimes my face would sweat. I hated that. I now have very rare occasions when I feel like fanning myself and it’s not as intense as it used to be.

I also want to mention that with your very gentle chiropractic care, I now have a neck curve, which previous chiropractors tried to provide with various, more vigorous methods, but without success. Overall, I have more flexibility and my spine is coming back into the position it’s meant to be in, creating a better environment for the rest of the body. Thank you Dr. Sharon and Dr. Allen for your continual caring and care.

Before coming to the Dubners, I had gone to another Chiropractor who said I that my condition was too serious and that I could not withstand the force from his adjustment technique. While at first skeptical of the totally gentle adjustments at the Dubners, I immediately found improvement and gradually I have regained my health. My neck which hurt all the time and was excruciating to turn now feels free and at ease. Before, I could take small steps only because of locked, painful hips and now I have my full stride again!

I’ve been under the care of Allen and Sharon Dubner for about two and a half years. My problems mostly concerned upper neck and shoulder pain, accompanied by excruciating headaches. When I became pregnant with twins last June, I made certain I saw Allen at least once a week; in the last couple of months (3rd trimester), I stepped that up to 3 visits per week whenever possible. What a difference this has made in my pregnancy! I have only had one or two headaches - - lasting only briefly - - during my whole pregnancy, with a minimum of spinal distress given the weight of the pregnancy.

When I began Hormone Replacement Therapy 15 years ago, I developed fibrocystic breast. I visited my M.D. and a Surgeon regarding my fibrocystic breast and the only treatment option they could offer me was having the cysts aspirated. I would have to have the cysts aspirated every six months for 15 years! When I first heard the Dubner’s at a lecture on “Balancing Hormones Naturally”, I thought I should give them a try. Since I have been receiving treatments, my results have been amazing and dramatic! I can always tell that changes are happening in my body just a few hours after treatment. My cysts have decreased and I don’t feel the same pain and discomfort that I had in the past.

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 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!
