Relief from Back and Neck Pain

About three years ago, I went to my doctor complaining of sharp pains in my upper back and neck. I described them as feeling like the vertebrae were damaged. It was a stabbing pain.

After looking at my x-rays, my doctor told me that the upper vertebrae were deteriorating and that it was a common condition. After that, I felt like there was nothing to be done and for a couple of years I suffered with the pain.

Now after visiting Dr. LaDue for more than two months, the pain is much better than it has been in years and I assume it will disappear altogether with further treatment.

I now realize that the stabbing pains, when they occur, result from bad posture which is pulling the vertebrae out of alignment.

Goodbye, back pain! Hello, golf course!

I had lower back pain and came to visit Dr. Ken.

Since he has been working on my spine and neck, I have noticed improvements in my ability to turn my neck more sharply and my legs are a lot more mobile. I am now able to lift my knees to my stomach. These items were not the area of concern to me, but I can see they work much better.

My back pain, which was my only concern, seems to be much better and when the weather warms, I will be trying it on the golf course.

Thank you Dr. Ken.

Headache, Sinus, Ear Ache Pain Relief

I was in an automobile accident many years ago and over time I just accumulated more hurt and injuries. I had to take pain relievers everyday and they still didn’t stop the pain.

I couldn’t sleep well because my back hurt so much. Each time I tried to turn over, there was just no way to get comfortable. When I got up each day, I couldn’t straighten up because it was so painful.

I also had tension headaches because my neck was so stiff. My sinuses were stopped up for years. I took medication for sinusitis and I would get ear infections. I just couldn’t believe it.

From my first adjustment, I did not have any lower back pain and I slept the whole night. When I got out of bed, I could stand straight again and I don’t have to take any pain medicine.

I don’t have any pain in my back for the first time in years. I also haven’t had the tension headaches I was experiencing when I started here.

After my first adjustment my headaches diminished and my sinuses and ears opened up so I can hear clearly and I have not had to take pain or sinus medication for the entire time I have been getting adjustments.

My life is so much better. I am so happy that I can get these adjustments.

MS Symptoms Subsided

I first began coming to LaDue Family chiropractic in December 2008 because I saw the ad in Talk of Your Town. I had also read Montel Williams’ book about him and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and what chiropractic visits did for him.

Personally, I was diagnosed with MS in June 2005 and had a lot of issues with flu-like symptoms, mainly fevers. But since I’ve been coming here, the fevers, aches and headaches have stopped. I come two times per week and feel great!

My Migraines are Gone!

I have suffered from migraine headaches for seven years. None of the medications I have taken seemed to work any longer.

A friend recommended I make an appointment to see Dr. Ken. During my initial consultation, I realized just how dedicated Dr. Ken is to caring for each patient. He also educates his patients on everything from diet and nutrition to the inner workings of our bodies.

Thanks to his care and compassion, I no longer suffer from migraines. What a miracle! I feel blessed to have found LaDue Family Chiropractic. I drive 42 miles each way for my appointments and it’s been truly worth each mile!

No More Migraines and Headaches!

Hi, my name is Nick and I'm 30 years old. I have suffered from severe migraines at least once a week and mild to severe headaches every day since I was in my teens. That's approximately 780 migraines and 5,475 days spent with a mild to severe headache!

I’ve been tested for things like common stress headaches to meningitis. I have spent over $20,000 trying to find the cause of my pain – not to mention the cost of over the counter and prescription pain pills that did not work!

I’ve had four MRIs performed to try to determine the cause and all the doctors could ever come up with is that it "may be stress related".

Now, here I am under the care of Dr. Ken, at the most stressful time of my life, and my headaches have either been non-existent or mild since the beginning of my treatment.

Though I may still have a small headache now and then, the migraines are gone! I have been through a whole week without any pain in my head at all and it’s all thanks to Dr. Ken!

Even at this stressful time in my life, he has made the quality of my life better.

My Energy's Back and No More IBS!

Before Dr. Ken introduced me to chiropractic care, I had just about given up on feeling like my old self again. I have two small children aged 2 years and 4 years. Since they've been born, my energy level has been low at best.

When people asked me how I felt, I would lie and say, "Doing well, thank you." In reality, it was taking every ounce of energy I had in me to get through the day. By 8 o’clock when the kids went to bed, I went to bed myself. When I woke up the next morning after 8 hours of sleep, it was as if I never slept. Fatigue, weakness, exhaustion…tired.

I have had blood test after blood test. I thought what is wrong with me? I am only 37 years old. Why do I feel so "old"? I saw my friends with young children go through the newborn phase, but they quickly returned to their normal lives, while I seemed sick.

I have benefited so much from Dr Ken. After 2 to 3 weeks of treatment, I was able to stay up at night until at least 11 pm. This was unheard of. I suddenly had energy to do things. I didn’t need a nap anymore. I could not be more pleased with these early results.

While I do not care to go into great detail, I would also like to share that my IBS symptoms of 10+ years, which resulted in a colonoscopy, disappeared. If this happens to be something you suffer from, I would strongly encourage you to seek chiropractic treatment. You will be amazed!

Back Pain Finally Relieved!

For the past few years, I have been dealing with bad back pains. I went to the doctors a few times to see what could be done, but all they wanted to do is operate, which was not my choice of fixing me. So one day my wife told me about this article in the Talk of Our Towne about Dr. Ken. I gave it a once over and thought "Yeah, whatever". But the pain was still there and getting worse.

So we setup a plan and started working on my problem. After the first couple of adjustments, I could feel a change and he (Dr. Ken) really explained to me how chiropractic worked. Now after my first twelve visits, man, have I noticed a difference!

Nothing actually hurts anymore, just soreness that doesn’t last half as long as the pain used to. I’m really satisfied with the way things are working out with treatment. And by the end, I think I will feel even better than I do now.

Thank you, Dr. Ken, for having an article that would convince you to give LaDue Family Chiropractic a try and for all your help to make me better.

Old Injuries Healed!

Coming to the LaDue Family Chirpractic facility absolutely changed my life. It was a last option situation that I am very glad I chose.

When I came to the facility, my thoughts were that my injuries were irreversible. I had suffered from severe pain periodically for a number of years, but I dealt with the pain instead of completely healing untreated injuries. I spent a lot of time in doctors’ offices receiving ineffective injections and pain pills.

Finally, I decided to try chiropractic care. My initial visit consisted of tests and x-rays that pinpointed areas of pain and injury. After diagnosing my problems, Dr. Ken explained the variety of tests given, their findings and an individual treatment care plan.

The most important part of what he said was that my injuries could be healed without injections or prescriptions. My first adjustment was a complete success because it allowed me to get back to exercising and being more active with my family.
