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. (more…)

I started having hot flashes a year before I walked through the doors of Dubner Family Chiropractic Center. I’m talking KILLER HOT FLASHES!!!  The frequency of my hot flashes we up to 20 times a day. They were awful and pretty unbearable to go through. My physician wanted to put me on hormones, but I declined. After my first energy treatment by Dr. Sharon my hot flashes almost completely disappeared. I now only get hot flashes every once in awhile and they are very mild compared to before. I have minor warm-ups every now and then but I’m feeling much better! I’m so glad to have found a natural way to help my problems instead of taking drugs. Thank you!!!

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 !!

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 heard about the Dubners at a Sluggish Thyroid talk at Curves. I had just been diagnosed with sluggish thyroid and was tired all the time and having hot flashes.

After just 3 weeks of care and no medications, I am losing my belly bulge and can drive home from work without stopping to take a nap along the road. Also, my mid back “stress” pain is gone! Best of all, after 3 years of waking up every hour or so with a hot flash, I am now sleeping through the night. My hot flashes have decreased, I have more energy, and even my boss and co-workers notice a great difference in my attitude – all for the better. I am also able to do garden work, house work, and the laundry without getting tired and sore.

Thanks both to Drs. Allen and Sharon Dubner and their staff for a journey of no pain!!

I first heard about the Dubners through a Thyroid talk they were presenting at the Y, and I was really interested because I have a Thyroid problem. My Thyroid problem was mild for awhile and I was seeing a General Practitioner, but became worse when I accidentally overdosed on my Thyroid medication for a month. After a while, my medication had to be increased because my body got used to the dosage and it made me jittery. Along with my Thyroid problem, I had hot flashes, thin fingernails, and I was always tired. I also had trouble falling back to sleep when I would wake up in the middle of the night. On top of all that, because my knees ached, I had a lot trouble getting up after sitting down on a chair. I needed people to help me get up since I wasn’t able to do it on my own.

During the first four months of receiving care from Dr. Allen and Dr. Sharon, I was able to cut my medications in half, my nails are stronger, I sleep better at night, and my hot flashes are completely gone!! Additionally, my knees are greatly improved and I am now able to get up on my own after I sit down on a chair!!

I am telling all my friends and family about the Dubners because I want them all to be healthy!!!

I first walked into this office on April 3rd, 2002 with an unusual amount of fatigue and symptoms of peri-menopause. I found myself unable to exercise or do much of anything. I was taking menopausal remedies which somewhat helped the hot flashes, but didn’t do anything for the fatigue. I came in the office and began treatment with Dr. Sharon and immediately noticed my energy level getting better. I was suddenly able to exercise again and feel the beneficial results, which had me feeling good again!!! I had been seeing another Chiropractor at another office, but decided to give Dr. Allen a try. I’m glad I did! Since receiving chiropractic adjustments, my libido has gotten better. Thank you Dr. Sharon and Dr. Allen.

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!
