Chiropractic is helping our patient Rob, train and qualify for the upcoming Winter Olympics...

"As an athlete trying to find ways to help my dry land training chiropractic care has given me the stability and comfort in knowing that my body will react the way it needs to as a result of proper alignment from the top of the neck through and down to the base of my feet. But unexpectedly I'm seeing the true results of chiropractic care. My overall quality of health has improved, my sleeping patterns are lengthening and I'm feeling more alert and aware than prior to the start of my chiropractic maintenance."

I am able to workout and train in a way I've never known...pain free!

I started going to the Chiropractor to help alleviate and hopefully eliminate my back and neck pain as well as realign my body to the way it is supposed to be. My back and neck pain started about 4 months ago, but i have had a poor neck for 7 years at least. At it's worst my back would make it so that I wasn't able to perform my everyday tasks, and my neck would lead to severe headaches and in turn ruin portions of my day.

At the age of 14 I went to a chiropractor that didn't work on the areas of my body I needed fixed. And ultimately made my back and neck weaker than they were before. So I was very hesitant on going back.

I have made amazing progress in a very small amount of visits. I can now go entire days without the headaches or my back seizing up on me. Through work with a Chiropractor I am able to workout and train in a way I've never known...pain free. My knees are structurally strong and aligned. I am able to have a restorative sleep during the night resulting in more energy and higher quality of days. I am very impressed with the knowledge and patience of Dr. Spiller when dealing with patients.

My numbness has completely gone away...

Severe headaches, numb fingers, and toes, numb face, tightness in neck and back. Headaches persisted for 10 years. Other problems had been building up over last 10 years. My face and lips were going numb. I was constantly tired, and took lots of Motrin for my headaches making it difficult to play with my kids. At first I didn't think Chiropractic would help me feel better.

Since starting Chiropractic my numbness has completely gone away, and I have only had one headache to count. I am feeling more energetic, and I can spend more time with my kids making life much more enjoyable. The people in the office are very welcoming and I enjoy coming here. It is so worth the drive from the South side!

Chiropractic has improved my chronic sinus problems...

Back, and neck pain were initial reasons for starting Chiropractic care. I was experiencing these problems for many years. Roughly 15. In addition to reduced pain and increased mobility, I was very pleased to experience almost immediate respiratory benefits. I have had chronic sinus problems my whole life and upon beginning treatment I noticed my sinuses draining much better. I know how important breathing properly is to all aspects of health so this was a welcome 'side effect'.

Dr. Marty and his staff have been wonderful...

My reasons for beginning Chiropractic care was because I was experiencing lower back pain, neck pain, and constant headaches for the last 10-15 years. At my worst I was experiencing severe headaches making it so I was unable to function at work or do any household tasks. I was sceptical about starting Chiropractic care, but since beginning treatment with Dr. Marty I am feeling 90% better. I am able to do yard work for hours at a time with little or no back pain. Also, headaches are not as often or severe. I am able to carry out my daily routine, and not have to worry that I wont be able to move for 2 or 3 days. Dr. Marty and his staff have been wonderful. He has been thorough in his explanation of my treatment which has helped me understand the benefits of Chiropractic care.

At 85 years old I am doing better than ever...

I broke my left leg years ago and have a steel rod in it. I hadn’t been able to put weight on it for years, and x-ray after showed nothing wrong. I broke my leg in 1995. In spite of all the treatments and x-rays I could not stand on it or lift my foot up. My left leg would thump all night. I had to take pain killers to go out of the house. I went to one chiropractor in 1970, and he had fixed my back. Since starting care with Dr. Marty I can now walk on my left leg. I can raise my foot up to my knee with no pain. I don’t take pain killers anymore and I can get in and out of the car. I can even go shopping again! At 85 years old I am doing better than ever. I find everyone in the clinic to be very friendly and accommodating.

My leg doesn't hurt anymore and I sit up straighter...

My leg had hurt for 2+ months after a fall on wet ice. It became hard to walk, extremely painful. “Sciatica nerve must have been pinched.” It was very difficult to get out of bed and really slowed me down. I could not turn over in bed because of pain in back and my leg. Doctors recommended anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxants but that just did not do the job. Nothing that was successful. It usually depended on the time and therapeutic massage and trips to the doctor for medicine who handed out pills like candy. Now my leg doesn't hurt anymore and I sit up straighter.

After discussing about chiropractic and realizing what the spine now does. I am anxious to find out if regular chiropractic will help me with fighting Crohn's Disease. I have a curved spine and from a recent annual checkup I actually become almost 1' taller and I've noticed that my tail bone makes me situp straighter. I am very interested in obtaining my 12 visit visit infrared scan to see what changes have occurred over time.

I am excited about this technique as it may have a potential direct link to helping Crohn's disease sufferers and others with inflammatory bowel disease reduce the problematic effects from the disease. I am also interested in providing my gastroenterologist with with the results of Dr. Spillers' efforts to improve my health to what may be my best potential. Currently, other than money out of my pocket (minimal), I have no complaints whatsoever and am looking forward to having a discussion with my doctor (specialists) and then getting him to discuss Chiropractic and how it affects the human body.

Wouldn't it be great if this care actually reduces the incidences of these kinds of diseases and will be a cause for some significant celebration if we prove this relationship between a hurt spine and IBD.

P.S. I also learned from Dr. Spiller that only a minimal amount of spinal nerves actually feel pain. So when you hurt your back (spine) you may not even know how badly injured you are. That is the basis of my positive attitude about Chiropractic care.

I have been going to a Chiropractor for 50+ years...

I came to Dr. Marty seeking help for my Carpal Tunnel, Sciatic nerve pain, upper body pain, and shoulder pain which I had been experiencing for the last 3-4 years. This made it very difficult to ride in a vehicle or drive, or attend work (retail) every day. I have been going to a Chiropractor for 50+ years and have found it to be very beneficial. Recently with Dr. Marty Spiller- Carpal tunnel has improved on both wrists and sciatic pain is less when driving. Work and driving are certainly less of a struggle on a daily basis. I have found Dr. Marty to be very flexible, and professional.

Chiropractic helped with our son's colic...

On May 10, 2010 our second beautiful baby boy was born and we were excited to welcome him home a few days later. Although we cherished and loved our child, he spent a great deal of time crying and acting as though he was in pain. Both my husband and I were wondering what we got ourselves into and hoped that things would change. We tried everything to relieve the pain and/or colic symptoms he seemed to display. We changed his formula several times, and used many different “potions” such as oval. Nothing seemed to work and we were at a loss. We wanted so badly to think of our baby as our second bundle of joy but it was becoming increasingly difficult.

After talking to a friend about what our options were before we lost our minds she mentioned taking her children to the chiropractor. My first thought was I can't take my 2 month old to the chiropractor. By ten weeks, we were a miserable family in need of serious help and I was up for trying anything.

I walked in to see Dr. Marty and I walked out hoping this was the beginning of the joy we were supposed to be feeling. After a couple of sessions, our beautiful little boy was completely different. He was finally smiling and acting like a normal 11 week old. He wasn't always in pain and was a true joy to be around. He is now 14 weeks old and still comes back every couple of weeks if he seems to be getting grumpy. I would recommend seeing a chiropractor to any mom and family who is struggling to deal with colic. Anyone who knows what it is like understands to some degree why some parents just lose their cool, and this is an easy way to ensure you can love your child to the extreme! Thank you for everything!

I have less headaches, and haven't been sick once...

I was experiencing back/neck pain, and constant severe headaches for the last year. Imagine someone cutting your head open and putting razors in it and then shaking it. This made me become very irritable. Since I have started regularly coming in for adjustment I have been experiencing less headaches, and haven't been sick once. “Dr. Marty and his staff are great people. I have never felt so good!”

My back pain is gone, and my eyesight has improved...

I was experiencing on and off back pains from my job. Bending forward and picking up stuff was painful. I had never been to a Chiropractor in my life. I have made great progress in my care. My back pain is gone, and my eyesight has improved. I am really happy with my progress!
