Q: What were your symptoms?
A: Neck pain, headaches lasting from 4 – 8 hours, sleeplessness due to
neck pain.
Q: Describe your previous treatment and results:
A: I had never before been to a chiropractor, but was referred to Dr. Harper after randomly calling another chiropractor that recommended her as the best.
Q: What drugs and/or medications you were taking?
A: I had been taking ibuprofen and using heat on my neck for several
months with no improvement.
Q: Had you been to a chiropractor previously?
A: After getting no results from my doctor, a nurse quietly recommended seeing a chiropractor.
Q: What recommendations were made by Dr. Harper?
A: I brought my oldest son with me when I went in for my adjustment. When Dr. Harper met him, I asked her to look at the slight curve he had to his upper back, something I believed was from carrying a heavy backpack at school. She recommended he come in for an adjustment also and now, after just two visits, he stands nearly an inch taller — his back is straight and he doesn’t feel fatigued from standing like he used to.
Q: What were the results of your treatment?
A: After only one adjustment, I slept through the night for the first time in two years. My neck pain had decreased significantly and my range of motion had improved dramatically.
Q: Is anyone else in your family a chiropractic patient?
A: Yes.
Q: Would you recommend chiropractic treatment to your friends and family?
A: Yes.
Q: Any final thoughts on your treatment?
A: I’d never held anything against chiropractors in the past; I just never had the need for one. Now that I have the need, I am living proof that chiropractic care worked wonders for me and my son either instantly or with very few appointments.

Q: What were your symptoms?
A: Neck and back pain, indigestion.
Q: Describe your previous treatment and results:
A: I didn’t have very good results before I went to Dr. Sally.
Q: What drugs and/or medications were you taking?
A: None.
Q: Had you been to a chiropractor previously?
A: I went to a chiropractor for years in the past….but hadn’t been for a long time.
Q: What were the results of your treatment?
A: Wow!!!! I feel so much better. My stomach felt better, even before I got off the table!!! I have never gotten such fast results. I feel so much better…..Dr. Sally is a miracle worker!!!!
Q: Is anyone else in your family a chiropractic patient?
A: Yes.
Q: Would you recommend chiropractic treatment to your friends and family?
A: Yes!

Q: What were your symptoms?
A: Dr. Sally saved me twice — first she restored my right wrist back to pre-break condition. I had broken my right wrist in four places, had two casts put on wrong, and was told that I wasn’t going to have full
use of my wrist. Through her guidance and dedication, my wrist is stronger than ever! More currently, I was dealing with ear and sinus infections for more than 6 months!
Q: Describe your previous treatment and results:
A: My doctor ordered blood tests, CT scans, but never did the M.D.’s address why these infections kept coming back!
Q: What drugs and/or medications were you taking?
A: I had been prescribed five rounds of antibiotics, steroids, ear drops, sinus rinses, etc. Even pain medication for the “pressure” in my head!
Q: Had you been to a chiropractor previously?
A: Since Sally had helped me with my wrist in the past, she reached out to me. After one cranial session, I felt an immediately release!
Q: What recommendations were made by Dr. Harper?
A: Dr. Sally figured out that I got my first infection on a flight because I had fallen asleep with my neck bent over (I didn’t have any support pillow!) and because of that, it caused pressure on my Eustachian tube, which couldn’t drain properly. My head (Atlas) wasn’t on straight! So my ears and sinus couldn’t flow properly and thus swelling and infections would continuously return. Once she aligned my spine, I could feel the pressure and swelling go down! My face even looked less puffy.
Q: What were the results of the treatment?
A: After all of the prescriptions, testing, and false starts, chiropractic produced immediate relief, and addressed where the infections were coming from, rather than just giving more and more medications. Over the past few weeks, I have felt more of an improvement than with all of the prescriptions!
Q: Is anyone else in your family a chiropractic patient?
A: Yes.
Q: Would you recommend chiropractic treatment to your friends and family?
A: Yes.
A: Any final thoughts on your treatment?
Q: I believe it is necessary and can prevent so many illnesses. If the foundation and structure isn’t sound, how can you expect the rest of the body to function properly? I’m a true believer in find the cause of the symptoms, rather than keep treating the problem with temporary band-aids.

Q: What were your symptoms?
A: Severe pain in right hip area. Pain under the scapula on the right side…felt like a burning arrow in my back!
Q: Describe your previous treatment and results:
A: I have been getting chiropractic treatment for 40 years.
Q: What drugs and/or medications were you taking?
A: None.
Q: What recommendations were made by Dr. Harper?
A: Come back and see her.
Q: What were the results of the treatment?
A: Hip pain: Her technique is very unique!!! She laid me on my back….and pushed several areas back into place….kinda like “crawling” over my body. Then she was able to tell me what was wrong. The right hip was going out to the right…and right knee was going to the left…it was not aligned. This stopped the pain and the left side sciatica never came back. Then, when she worked on the shoulder, she told me that I had a rib out of alignment, opposite of the pain. She adjusted my neck, also. Now I have good range of motion in my neck and minimal pain in the shoulder.
A: Is anyone else in your family a chiropractic patient?
Q: No.
Q: Would you recommend chiropractic treatment to your friends and family?
A: Yes.
Q: Any final thoughts on your treatment?
A: I am extremely enthusiastic!!!

This summer I started coughing all the time, whether I was stuffed up or not. It got so bad that I threw my neck out and got really bad headaches. I was exhausted from coughing so much. I went to my M.D. and he prescribed inhalers and antihistamines, but that didn’t totally fix the problem. Then I went to Dr. Harper and she found that I had a vertebra out in a place that controlled my coughing reflex. She treated me a few times (it took awhile for the vertebra to stay in place) and the chronic coughing stopped! It was a miracle!

Research presented in January 2007 at a conference in San Antonio indicates there has been a “startling” drop in breast cancer rates in the USA, the Associated Press reports. The 7% decrease in 2003 from the year before appears to be due to the declining number of women taking hormone pills. There is an abstract here of the findings, which were delivered at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium — an event that the local Express-News describes as the “largest annual conference in the world devoted to the disease that strikes 200,000 American women each year.”
More and more often, it seems, drugs that were widely thought to be effective against serious illnesses turn out to show little or no value when tested in large, impartial clinical trials insulated from drug company influence. The latest example is a class of drugs known as atypical antipsychotics that are commonly used to soothe agitation, delusions, and aggression in people with Alzheimer’s disease. A government-sponsored study recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that the drugs are no more effective than placebos for most patients and carry troubling side effects, like sedation and confusion. This was the third major study — all coming within one year — to cast doubt on the atypical antipsychotics, which were supposedly a significant advance over the first generation of anti-psychotics.

Results of a new study suggest a strong association between first trimester exposure to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and congenital anomalies, particularly those related to cardiac septal closure. The five most commonly filled prescriptions were for naproxen (35%), ibuprofen (26%), rofecoxib (15%), diclofenac (9%), and celecoxib (9%).

More than 1.5 million Americans are injured every year by drug errors in hospitals, nursing homes, and doctor’s offices, a count that doesn’t even estimate patients’ own medication mix-ups, says a report that calls for major steps to increase patient safety. Topping that list: All prescriptions should be written electronically by 2010, the Institute of Medicine said. At least a quarter of all medication-related injuries are preventable, the institute concluded in the report it released Thursday.
