I was in a severe auto accident in 2000. As a result of that I ended up have a surgical fusion of my 4th and 5th vertebrae in the low back. Initially that helped but the pain returned and the surgeon told me there was nothing else he could do for me. I have had severe low back pain that went into my right leg for the past 2 years. Nothing seemed to help and I was dependent on strong narcotic drugs. Then my doctor told me they were destroying my kidneys and I had to stop them or I would die. My medical doctor referred me to Dr. Craven.
When I first went in I had to use a walker due to the intense pain when I stood up, even with the drugs. Within 4 weeks I was walking with the need of a walker. The pain has decreased by about 30% without the need for medication.
My advice to you is to seek out a chiropractor and stick with it as I did and you will feel the results. Last weekend I was able to take my 2 year old granddaughter to the beach. That was such a blessing.

I had neck and back problems ever since the early 80"s when I lived in Massachusetts. I have seen many chiropractors since then but I feel Dr. Craven has helped me so much more than my previous doctors. He is friendly, quite knowledgeable, and very outgoing.
I believe that the spine is the primary area the you want to be in "proper alignment", as it was intended to be. All other parts of your body can be affected by the condition of your spine.
I can stay very active, without pain as long as I stay on my regular maintenance program, which for me is every 2 weeks. This is my choice to go every two weeks and not wait until something serious developes again.

I have been recieving chiropractic maintenance care for a few years now. I find that it is very helpful in maintaining my mobility. I train and ride horses daily so I am subjected to some bumps and jolts on my spine and muscles. With regular care I am able to enjoy greater comfort in movement.

At age 68, I have had back and neck problems for 48 years. I even had low back surgery 20 years ago. Other than that one episode chiropractic care has always give me relief and allowed me to bounce back.
After trying chiropractic,I found it to give me the best results when I have body pains. The results were not the same when I was given pain medications, although they did help some. The overall response was not as well under medical care compared to chiropractic care.
Chiropractic care gets me going again, all the time. I work out at the gym 5 days aweek and led a very active life. I doubt I would be able to do this without regular chiropractic care.
My advice to others, try it, you will like it. Many people dont want to try it because they think it hurts.

Back problems had been with me a long time. I had issues with both my neck and lower back. I was told I had severe degenerative arthritis, scoliosis, and disc problems. Nothing but chiropractic care ever provided me with lasting relief. With other health conditions (diabeties, heart by-pass surgery, and high blood pressure), I didnt want to add more drugs to my daily routine. And that was the only alternate that my medical doctor provided me with before I consulted with a Chiropractor.
The results have changed my life, I would describe them as very good. As a senior citizen, I am able to be more active and have a restful nights sleep.
My advice to others is to try it!

I had a major pain in the neck. The pain seemed like it was there forever, but in reality only 3 days.
I thought it would go away by itself. The people at work told me to go to Dr. Craven. Boy, am I glad I did.
Well, the pain in the neck is gone. The "Doc" took care of my nasty migraines. I am on the road to recovery thanks to Dr. Craven and the girls.
I am the worlds's biggest baby when it comes to going to the doctors office but I like coming here. The girls are great and do not treat you like "just another patient". They treat you like a close friend. Dr. Craven is the best. Try it you'll like it and feel like a totally different person. I can't put into words how great he is. Now I come into the office smiling. So don't be afraid. Just do it, you"ll thank me and them later.

I had lower left back pain and was unable to sleep at night and was getting to the point I could not walk. I also suffered from headaches for about 6 months.
A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Craven.
After putting this off for so long the back pain and headaches are now relieved. I found out I did not have to live with the pain and could not live life without chiropractic treatment.
Everyone needs a chiropractor.

I had low back pain radiating down my left leg. I was not able to sit for more than 30 minutes without experiencing excruciating pain.
My primary care physician prescribed anti-inflammatory meds, which did not help the problem. Then I was sent on to physical therapy but I was still in pain after that.
After a few weeks of chiropractic adjustments and therapy my pain was relieved and I was able to sit without pain radiating down my leg. I also got relief from my allergies and congested sinus after the adjustments.
I have had great results. Try it, you may too!

I had lower back and right hip pain for over a year. The orthopedic doctor recommended surgery.
Chiropractic care gave me 100% relief and comfort. It kept me from missing any time from work and prevented me from having surgery on the hip.
Try it, you'll like it. The entire staff is friendly and genuine. They are concerned about your health and comfort.

I had lower back, middle back, upper back, neck, and shoulder pain. My regular physician was giving me medication, which did not help. A friend in N.Y. recommended for me to try chiropractic.
Dr. Craven relieved my pain tremendously. It has relieved the stressful feelings I was having.
For back pain or neck pain, I found medications did not help me nearly as much as chiropractic has.

My problem was consistent neck pain, headaches, TMJ dysfunction and occasional numbness in the left arm and hand. I had suffered from these for several years.
I made constant trips to the primary physician, several visits to an E.N.T., had a CT scan, had an arthritis profile done and and took several different anti-inflammatory medications. Nobody had any answers and nothing seemed to work.
I finally tried chiropractic. I gained more movement in my neck, have almost no headaches, reduced symptoms of TMJ dysfunction, and I sleep better.
My advice is to combine chiropractic with healthier habits, it works for me.

For quite some time I had pain in the mid and lower back. Several members of my family had been to Dr. Craven so I knew exactly where to go. I called for an appointment and Dr. Craven saw me immediately.
Chiropractic treatment allowed me to function regularly at my job and I was pain free in a matter of days.
Do not let the "old myths" about chiropractic care keep you from experiencing the freedom it can give you from pain.

My problem was back and hip pain.
Dr. Craven has done well by me. He is the only one I would trust with my back problems.
Take my advice, at the first sign of pain seek chiropractic care. I am living proof of this.

I suffered for two months with "drop to the floor" lower back pain. I went to my Primary Care Physician and was given progressively stronger pain meds and told I had to live with it.
After my first visit with Doc Craven I felt immediate relief. After my third visit I was completely pain free.
Don't wait as long as I did to get some relief! Although I was initially skeptical of Chiropractic Care, Doc Craven (and my wife) have made a believer out of me.
