When I came to the Dubners in March of 2009, I had a history of sleep problems.Due to stress and anxiety, I had difficulty falling asleep and had been taking Ambien for 15 years!(more…)
I originally started coming to Dubner Chiropractic in 2004 to alleviate hip pain, which Dr. Allen successfully treated.One of the motivating reasons for correcting my hip problem was that we were planning on having children in the future. (more…)
I decided to start treatment for my TMJ. I had been suffering with TMJ problems for four years. I first went to the Orthodontist, then to a TMJ specialist at Stanford for almost a year. Since seeing the specialist, he gave me a mouth splint. Wearing the splint at the beginning was ok but with time it would wake me up in the middle of the night and make tension in my shoulder and neck. (more…)
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.
When I first came to Dubner Family Chiropractic, I was suffering from migraine headaches, as many as two a week! I had returned to HRT after suffering from frequent hot flashes for a long time, I had been steadily gaining weight and my blood pressure was heading up. On top of that, I have multiple sclerosis. Now after treatment by the Dubners, I have reduced the number of migraines significantly! I am stockpiling the Imitrex tablets instead of running out. I have also found that peppermint oil can sometimes stop a migraine from developing. I have reduced my dose of HRT to half a dose every 2 1/2 days, and on the Adrenal diet, I have lost ten pounds! My blood pressure is now in the normal range. Despite having MS, I can now walk for 45 minutes, ride my exercise bike, and go on a kayaking vacation in British Columbia !!
I suffered from tension headaches since 1999. At first I ws getting them every other week, but within 2 years, I was getting them 2-3 times a week. Every headache was accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and muscle pain. Before seeing the Doctor Dubners, I spent 5-6 years visiting a series of traditional Chiropractors, but the headaches only got worse. In 2001, I underwent traction therapy 3 times a week for 16 weeks. After a few months of completion, my headaches were back and I experienced other problems from the traction procedure. I began getting adjustments from the Doctor Dubners after attending a health lecture at Whole Foods in June 2003. Since seeing the Dubners, my headaches have gradually been decreasing in frequency and severity. I now only get these headaches every other month if I have physical activity that strains my muscles. The treatments the Dubners provide are gentle, but the results are real! My quality of life has significantly improved!
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.
I Would Like To Share With You My Experience With Headaches……
For well over a year I woke up and immediately went for the Tylenol bottle. I began getting adjusted for the first time in my life. Had I only known that I could have been living pain free, I would have sought out the Dubners long ago. After Dr. Allen adjusted me my first time, I woke up the next day headache free and have been ever since. As I continue getting adjusted, I find that my body is going through a healing process that has helped me with more than just my headaches. It feels great to live pain free, because feeling great is what life is all about!
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 had been suffering from headaches, fatigue, and muscle aches for thirteen years before I started care with the Drs. Dubner. The pain from my headaches was so intense that sometimes I would throw up. I felt them every time I ate chocolate, sometimes when I would wake up in the morning, or just anytime during the day. I felt the pain in my head as well as in my eyes. I saw three eye specialists and was given a CAT SCAN. The Medical Doctors could find nothing medically wrong with me. Within a month and a half of treatments with Dr. Sharon and Dr. Allen, I have only had one headache! The muscle aches are gone and I am no longer suffering fatigue. I sleep soundly now that all the pain is gone and have found that I have so much more energy. I am so much happier and have a much more positive outlook on life without all of the pain to deal with day in and day out. There’s nothing raining on my parade!
