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.

I was consumed with pain before I stepped through the doors of Dubner Chiropractic. Both of my shoulders were dislocated in 1987 and since then, I had lived with pain which left me (more…)

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 have had tension in my shoulders for the last couple of years. It became so severe, my body was in the fight or flight position. After taking Pilates, I noticed that I couldn’t put my shoulder flat against the wall and realized I had to do something about it. I had been very stressed at work due to changes in the technology. On top of everything I was also craving sugar, partly because it was the easiest thing to grab.When I came to Dr. Allen and Dr. Sharon’s office the results were significant! My shoulders are relaxed, I’m mentally alert and my sugar cravings have disappeared due to being on the Candida 2 week program! The Candida 2 week program has made me aware that protein is better for energy than sugar. Due to the Candida diet, losing my sugar cravings and being on Weight Watchers, I’ve lost 17 pounds in 7 months. Much of that weight was at my belly. It’s much flatter now. I also deal with stress a lot better. For example, I was on my way to a place I have been before and some how managed to get myself lost for about a half hour! Normally, I would be stressed out, but I managed to stay focused and calm and ended up getting there. So you’re on medication or not, and still not feeling good? Try the Drs. Dubner. I’ve had significant results, you may too!

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.

For much of my life I had been experiencing adrenal and blood pressure problems, headaches everyday, and fatigue to the point of not leaving my bed. After only six weeks of treatment I don’t feel fatigued anymore & my health keeps on improving! I have so much more energy that for the first time in two years I have been able to start exercising again! I have also been able to completely rid myself of headaches. The muscles in my back and shoulders which were very stiff and numb before treatment are now relaxed and have regained their sensitivity. It is so much easier to do my daily activities such as housework. On top of feeling physically better, I have also had mental improvements. My concentration and clarity are probably at the highest they have ever been in my life! Thank you Dr. Sharon and Dr. Allen.

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!
