For over 20 years I suffered from terrible headaches up the back of my head which were particularly severe with any weather changes. Over the last three years I have had severe hip pain when walking any distance. And, for the last few months before starting care, I had really bad shoulder pain when extending my arm back. I would take Tylenol to help with the pain. It would take the edge off, but it didn't correct the cause of my problems. Within a few days of my first correction, the pain in both my hips and shoulder was gone. After only two months of care with the doctors at Advanced Spinal Care, I wasn't having any headaches! I could tell that I was no longer off kilter. In addition, I haven't developed any illnesses since starting care, and I just feel I have better overall health. I would absolutely recommend others to Advanced Spinal Care. In fact I already have! Thank you so much! more

I was in a really bad car accident about a year and a half before coming to Advanced Spinal Care. Since the car accident, I was experiencing pain in my neck, back, pelvis and tailbone. I was also suffering from headaches, tremors, and vision problems. In addition, I had painful tendons in both my hands and feet and carpal tunnel syndrome. My M.D. had prescribed naproxen, which caused fluttering in my chest. I discontinued the medicine. By the end of the second month of care, I was noticing that my symptoms were improving. Overall, I was in much less pain. I continued to improve and was feeling a lot better, especially when I was holding my adjustment. After a while my vision started to improve as well! I would recommend others to Advanced Spinal Care. I could hardly walk at times due to my pelvis displacement and the injuries to my spine. Now, when my body holds my alignment, I feel so much better! more

After having a knee replacement 5 years ago, I have suffered from low back pain and sciatica into my left buttock. It was especially painful upon wakening, when I would stand in one position too long or walk any distance. I had gone to an orthopedic surgeon and an osteopath and was given 3 cortisone injections. Surgery was considered too risky, but could be possible in a couple of years. I came to Advanced Spinal Care and within my first month of care, my symptoms began to improve. I had a lot less low back pain and my sciatic pain was gone! I found that I was sleeping better, and the numbness in my hands went away, something I hadn't considered. The staff at Advanced Spinal Care was very friendly and sincere. I liked not having to wait long for my appointments. I only wish the symptoms could have gone away sooner, but I guess that at 74 years of age, one month is still pretty good! more

For over 15 years I suffered from severe, debilitating headaches several times a month. This was accompanied by constant neck/shoulder pain. To be honest, before coming to Advanced Spinal Care, I pretty much had pain everywhere. I had tried regular chiropractic care with little improvement. Within a couple of months of care with the doctors at Advanced Spinal Care, I was feeling so much better. I was having fewer and less severe headaches and my neck pain was greatly decreased. more

I have suffered for several years from severe neck pain and stiffness. I had tried aspirin, massage and heat to help relieve the pain. When my neck was really bad I would get ringing in my ears. I also had difficulty turning over in bed at night, making it hard to get a good night's sleep. After the first correction I immediately noticed that I had better balance and my neck felt looser. In less than a month I was sleeping all the way through the night and had absolutely no pain! I have great confidence in the doctors at Advanced Spinal Care and I have enjoyed my experience here. I would highly recommend others to Advanced Spinal Care. Try it. It works! more

I was having unbearable headaches. My left eye was sensitive to light. I was unable to turn my head because of stiffness. I was experiencing numbness in my right hand since 1985. I have been to other chiropractors, tried physical therapy and I was taking countless pain pills. After I got my spine corrected my headaches, the numbness in my hand, my neck and the light sensitivity in my eye all cleared up 100%. I am still on a wonderful and healthy recovery. I recommend to others that this chiropractic service is much different than others. more

I had been experiencing headaches and ringing in my ears for the past ten years following a skateboarding accident in which I was knocked unconscious and suffered a broken nose and whiplash to my neck. More recently, I had injured my low back and was experiencing a lot of muscular pain and discomfort. In the past, I would take Ibuprofen and Tylenol for my pain and headaches. I had never sought any help for my problems. My family has had wonderful results at Advanced Spinal Care and they encouraged me to seek help. My results with the Doctors of Advanced Spinal Care have been wonderful. I have had no headaches with significantly reduced ringing in the ears and no back pain! The staff at Advanced Spinal Care treated me very well. I appreciate the location and flexible scheduling. I also appreciate the type of care; there is no uncomfortable cracking or popping of the spinal joints. I would definitely recommend this office and upper cervical care to whomever needs help. It isn't about just fixing your back; it is about improving your health and your life. God Bless! more

I had pain in my back and neck. I was always tired. I got headaches about 3 times a week and I always had a hard time focusing on things and didn't feel very well pretty much 2 days out of the week. Today I feel fabulous and great! My headaches have basically gone away and I only receive neck and back pain when I sleep funny. I feel more alert and aware of things now and am able to focus more and am for the most part not always tired. I feel much better now. I wish I would have come to receive NUCCA care sooner and will refer anyone I know! more

I had severe back pain. My left ankle was always extremely swollen and very painful. I have bone on bone in my left knee and two joint replacements in my left foot and right wrist. Most of my joints are arthritic. When I was first measured by Dr. Schenk, I was 14.5 pounds heavier on my right side. Today I am now nearly normal in my left ankle no swelling and no pain! My weight is evenly distributed on each side. My back pain is gone, which is unbelievable to me! I still have arthritis of course but the pain is minimal. I believe I have reduced pain in my joints because my weight is evenly distributed and I'm not trying to place more weight on my right side because of pain on my left side! more

I remember the first time I stepped on the machine. It wasn't until then that I realized that my body just felt off. Dr. Schenk asked me to stand with my weight evenly distributed and I couldn't. I came in because I had been dealing with acid reflux for the past 2 years as well as allergies. When I heard of NUCCA from a family member, I'll admit I was skeptical, but I felt I had already tried everything including surgery, medications and diet change. Today I feel as though this is how my body is meant to feel. Being a singer, my throat needs to be in top shape at all times. Now when I do my stretches before a gig I don't feel very much stress leaving my body like I used to because it's just not there. I'm never sore anymore and to my surprise my acid reflux symptoms have greatly improved! more

I came to Advanced Spinal Care without obvious symptoms, only to find many areas of concern on the x-rays. Thank you for your kind, thorough, professional exams and consultation. Over the last few months the gradual changes were closely monitored by Dr. Lapenski and we moved through them easily. Thank you to all at Advanced Spinal Care for all the care and patience you have shown to schedule and help me regain the energy, clarity, fullness to my daily life. I agree everyone whom has a brain should have it working properly! more

I had routine lower back stiffness and pain. I also had some periodic neck pain. Less frequently I would have mid-back stiffness and pain and some periodic fatigue. I have noticed that my stiffness has reduced and I have little to no pain. I am also experiencing less fatigue and I generally have better all around health. more

I had bad pain in my back up to my neck. I also had a hard time standing up to get out of a chair. I also head headaches, chest pain, constipation and I wasn't able to do household duties such as wash the dishes, take out the garbage and vacuum my floors. Now my pain has lessened and I can get up out of a chair better. I no longer have headaches, chest pain or constipation! I am now able to do all of my household duties and I can even hook up my camper with no problems. My total health has become better and I am getting my lifestyle back! more

I had been suffering from the symptoms of a misaligned spine for most of my adult life. When I first came to Dr. Lapenski, I was unable to walk without the aid of a cane, an old man at 30! Pain was ruling my life. I was not able to do day to day activities. I had been seeing a variety of health care professionals for many years, only experiencing minor relief. After being in debilitating pain for months, I began to think that surgery was going to be my only option. My uncle referred me to Dr. Lapenski, he explained to me the kind of innovative care provided. I was very skeptical, but after hearing great things about the treatment, from several people, decided to go. The treatment is so different from anything I have ever heard about, or experienced. At first I did not see much improvement in the pain I was having, and was doubtful that the treatment was working, but within a couple of weeks after my adjustment, I was almost symptom free. Hard to believe that after being touched briefly in a very gently way, I have regained much of my vitality. I am living proof that the NUCCA approach to care works very effectively. more

My hips and neck were out of alignment causing severe pain when I tried to dress myself and lift my legs. I was also experiencing severe pain when I got in and out of the car. After just one treatment I was pain free when I went to get in the car! Afte more

Before coming to see Dr. Schenk at Advanced Spinal Care, two of my toes were numb and sometimes pain would shoot up my shin. I was in constant pain for the last 27 years from my hip ?popping?. I also had taken 3-4 allergy pills every day for the allergies that I have suffered with my entire life. I was also suffering from major headaches. After starting care at Advanced Spinal Care, I can feel my toes again and I no longer have pain shooting up my shin. I am now able to take my dog on walks again and my hip is no longer bothering me! My allergies have improved so much that I'm only taking 1 pill a day. My headaches are completely gone! An unexpected bonus is that I also have more energy as well now too! I am enjoying my life so much more now! more
