TESTIMONIALS

Allergies

Within my first month of care at Advanced Spinal Care, my neck and low back pain were phenomenally better. I could turn my head farther than I had in years and I no longer had pain into my leg. I also noticed that my allergies were getting better, and by May I wasn't having any allergy symptoms. My whole life I suffered from severe allergies. That was awesome!

JM

In about three months of starting care I began to see my allergies improve and the other symptoms gradually improved to the point where all of a sudden I realized that they weren't bothering me. My allergies are very minimal as long as I'm in alignment, as are my neck, back, knees and irritable bowel syndrome.

BB

Carpal Tunnel

One of the major improvements was my carpal tunnel. I had been told previously that I would have to have surgery within the next year or so. It was totally gone! No symptoms whatsoever! Then there were the 'small' things: I no longer would get dizzy when I closed my eyes; I was sleeping much better; and my sensitivity to scents has all but disappeared. Now, several months later, no hand tremors at all! And my head tremors are almost non-existent, so seldom and so slight that they are hardly noticeable. I expect that they too will be 100% gone shortly.

CS

Within a few weeks I was back to knitting. The pain and numbness was gone and the strength was back!

VM

Children-ear infections, constipation, allergies, asthma

Since starting care, our son went from having chronic ear infections to only one or two, which cleared up shortly after being adjusted. His sinus problems have improved 80%, and he hasn't had any problems with acid reflux or constipation!

JC

Our daughter suffered from chronic ear infections, chronic sinus infections and constipation. Since bringing her in for care her symptoms have cleared up completely.

JC

Before seeing Dr. Lapenski, all three of my little girls suffered from chronic ear infections, frequent colds and horrible allergies. They are now healthier than they have ever been. They no longer get ear infections, rarely have colds and their allergies have cleared up almost completely. It's the best thing we could have done for them!

RH

Ever since my daughter's birth she dealt with repeated ear infections, yeast infections, colds and other 'normal' childhood illnesses. She was put on round after round of antibiotics but not only did they not really seem to help, but I was concerned what all the drugs were doing to her little body. A family member told me to take her to see the doctors at Advanced Spinal Care and thank God that I did! My daughter not only doesn't have the ear or yeast infections anymore but she is healthier overall. She doesn't catch what all the other kids at school have. She is now a healthy and strong 8 year old!

RL

My son was on 8 different medications for his allergies and asthma, including steroids and weekly allergy shots. Things were so bad that he had to be home-schooled and wasn't able to do any of the things normal kids got to do. Two days after his first correction he blew a 300 on his peak flow meter for the first time in his life! Within three months of starting care, we took him off of all his medications. After six months, we took him in for his yearly physical and his pediatrician couldn't believe how well he was doing: his skin was clear, his lungs were clear, his sinuses were clear and he wasn't on any medication! My son is the healthiest he's ever been and he's finally able to be a normal kid. I thank God everyday for bringing these special NUCCA doctors into our lives they have changed our lives in a way we never thought possible.

Dizziness

When I first came to see Dr. Lapenski I had been suffering with extreme right hip pain. I also experienced dizziness, equilibrium problems and frequent headaches. I was not able to concentrate on my work, I often had stomach cramping and I didn't sleep well at all. Immediately after my first correction the hip pain was gone. I slept better than I had in years. Everything else went away within the first few days. I could hardly believe that such a gentle adjustment could change my health so dramatically. Dr. Lapenski and the NUCCA procedure changed my life!

JS

I lived with this dizziness all day, everyday, except when I was sleeping. I had trouble concentrating and focusing. Driving, watching TV, working on the computer, and just functioning was a challenge. I had been to several neurologists and multitude of specialists. No one had any answers for me. Within three days of my first adjustment my dizziness had disappeared. I am now living my life dizzy free and I feel like a normal person again. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to have my life back. I no longer feel like staying in bed all day. I have energy! I have confidence in myself when dealing with people and carrying on conversations. I don't feel like I am living in the dark anymore. I thank God everyday for Dr. Lapenski. He literally gave me my life back!

Failed Back Surgery

After two back surgeries, I was finding myself in pain again. I had numbness into my legs and pain in my low back. Immediately after my first adjustment my low back pain was gone. I also had less pain in my neck. Within a few weeks the numbness into my legs and hands were gone, too. I am doing really well and don't have to have another spinal surgery!

TR

Headaches

Within 6 weeks my headaches were 90% better and the pain in my low back was almost completely gone. I couldn't believe the difference after only a few weeks!

KG

I had been suffering with headaches 3-4 times a week for most of my life. I'm so glad to finally have found something that can help and that it's not something I just have to live with. In addition to no longer having headaches, my low back pain is better and I no longer have numbness into my right hand.

SC

Before I came to see Dr. Lapenski, I had constant pain in my low back and a sharp pain in my lower right leg while running. I also had chest pains, constant migraine headaches and occasional dizziness. I noticed a change immediately after my first adjustment. The change was most apparent when I returned to the gym. Prior to starting care, I would usually start to feel my lower leg cramp up right around mile one, but this time I didn't feel it at all! Over the course of the next two months, I noticed my breathing improve, my headaches started to become less and less noticeable to the point now where I can't recall the last migraine I had. My lower back hasn't hurt in a very long time. I am more active and I have a lot more energy.

RL

Hip pain

Within a few days of my first correction, the constant, nagging pain in my hip was 70% better and my back felt a lot looser. I've only been under care for a few months and I am virtually pain free. My allergies are even better!

NT

Leg Pain

Shortly after starting care I was amazed to find that I no longer needed my walker or cane! After only a few weeks my leg pain was completely gone and my entire body felt better.

SN

Before seeing Dr. Lapenski, I was dealing with shooting pain into my arms and legs along with numbness. After my first correction I felt 15 years younger! My back pain was 90% better and soon the pain and numbness into my extremities improved. I even noticed an increase in my energy!

SH

Less Pain - More Energy

In a short period of time I found myself nearly pain free and finding I had more energy than I've had in five years! In addition to this energy, I found that I could mentally process and complete feats that I would only excuse as too difficult prior to starting care.

JP

This has been a monumental transition in my life! Prior to care I was dealing with headaches, constant low back pain, shoulder pain, knee problems and numbness into my left leg. For the last two months I have been totally pain free! I am serious! I have more energy, sleep better and feel like getting out and doing more! Dr. Lapenski has given me an opportunity to take an active role in life again! No longer will I sit on the sidelines!

KM

Multiple Symptoms

Before starting NUCCA care I was dealing with constant pain in my joints, asthma-like breathing problems, digestive issues, headaches and allergies, just to name a few. After my first adjustment I noticed that my sleeping became more restful and deeper and my breathing was improved immediately. The rest of my symptoms were fully gone following the second adjustment a month later. It has been five months and I have been symptom free ever since.

KL

Before seeing the doctors at Advanced Spinal Care I had been in and out of hospitals and emergency rooms. I had been brought back from cardiac arrest twice, treated for Addison's, asthma and tachycardia. I suffered from seizure-like spells periodically paralyzing my arms and legs, leaving me weak for days. I had seen neurologists, cardiologists, and internists. I was on dozens of prescription medications, my immune system was at ground zero and I was full of anxiety and terribly depressed. Even though I was on several asthma medications, I still had weekly, sometimes daily, asthma attacks. Since starting care I've cut my medications by more than 50%., my immune system is strong again, my anxiety is reduced, my heart is stronger and my asthma is under control. My life has literally been restored.

TM

Neck/Mid-back/Low Back Pain

I noticed a difference immediately after my first correction. I could tell I was walking straighter than ever before, and I could bend over without any pain. I couldn't believe it! The ride home was almost entirely pain free and I remember thinking 'This is it! My back is finally healing.' I am sleeping much better and my appetite has returned. Even better, I am now able to enjoy many of the activities that had been such a huge part of my life before my back injury. The care I have received has been incredible. I would highly recommend that anyone who has been suffering with pain to come see Dr. Lapenski.

EC

I came to see the doctors here because I had been dealing with several problems for decades. I had such severe mid-back pain I could only sleep 3 hours per night and it was hard to breath. My low back hurt bad and the pain traveled into my legs. I had frequent headaches and just felt bad overall. I thought I had tried everything. When I came here they explained things thoroughly – I had a goal to reach and a plan on how to get there. My quality of life is much better. I can sleep through the night. My mid and low back are nearly perfect and I can breathe again. I feel much better overall. My care here has literally given me a new lease on life. I can do things now that I could not do before- simple things like standing to do the dishes, grocery shop, etc. I highly recommend this care to EVERYONE!

TS

Over the last five years I had tried physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture; I even saw a pain specialist. I had 8 injections in my spine and was taking up to 12 Advil a day. After all this I still suffered from severe pain in my neck and mid-back. I was also starting to have pain and tingling down my arm and I had lost most of the sensation in my thumb. I was surprised that within a few weeks of being adjusted, the pain and tingling in my arm completely stopped and I have most of the sensation back in my thumb. My neck and back pain is also a lot better. I can't believe with all the people I saw in my search for relief that no one ever suggested that I see a NUCCA doctor. I think they should be common knowledge. If you're reading this, just try it worked for me!

ST

I came to Advanced Spinal Care as a last resort. I had suffered from constant low back pain and numbness into my leg for the last 10 years and the orthopedist wanted to fuse several vertebrae in my low back. After starting care I can move again! I can play with my daughter and play sports with very little pain or stiffness. My headaches are also almost completely gone. It didn't happen overnight, but by being a little patient, my life has improved dramatically!

JC

After breaking my back 6 years ago, I continually had back, hip and neck pain. I thought I would have to live with it, but Dr. Lapenski has changed my mind. I feel like a new person! Not bad for someone the medical doctors said should be paralyzed.

TF

For over 40 years I had pain in my neck and shoulders. I had been to see my MD, had been given all kinds of medications and still had no relief. Now after seeing Dr. Lapenski, I have no pain. I walk better, sleep better, can work harder, and my life is better!

HB

After my first correction I felt immediate relief from my neck pain. I felt so much better that I went out and did some heavy yard work. Since then almost everything I was dealing with has gotten significantly better.

LO

Numbness

Immediately after my first adjustment, the pressure at the base of my skull and in my throat was gone. Within a few weeks the numbness in both my hands and feet were gone too! I never imagined I'd feel this good!

SM

Prior to seeing Dr. Lapenski, an MRI had revealed I had several bulging discs in my neck. I was given a few cortisone shots and the orthopedic surgeon recommended surgery. After my first adjustment I felt much better overall. My neck is doing great and the hand numbness is pretty much gone. My low back is doing much better and I don't have numbness into my leg. I'm sleeping better. I'm walking better. I'm even back to swimming and gardening.

DK

I came to see Dr. Lapenski because I had been dealing with severe numbness into my hands. I was facing a job change because of this. I also was having several migraines per week and had neck and low back pain for more than 16 years. I had no energy. All I can say is this stuff works! My low back pain was 75% improved after my first visit and my neck pain was gone. Soon my hand numbness was gone and I don't have to change jobs. I have not had one migraine and my energy is back. I recommend this place to everyone. They are very caring and it has changed my life!

ES

Before starting care I had suffered for years with constant neck and back pain, hip pain and numbness into my arms and legs. Within a few days of my first adjustment, I was having very little pain and no arm or leg numbness. It's been six years now and every now and then I may experience occasional numbness, but it doesn't come close to what I experienced before seeing the doctors at Advanced Spinal Care. I feel great!

EW

The numbness in my hands is gone! My neck and shoulders don't hurt at all! I haven't felt this good in 20 years!

SL

Sciatica

I was given Dr. Lapenski's name, and his specialty in NUCCA, when my battle with sciatica was at its absolute worse. I had been suffering from sciatica on and off for 35 years. Prior to starting care, my medical doctors had recommended physical therapy and surgery with no guarantees that they would help with my pain. I have been under Dr. Lapenski's care for nearly three years. Not only did my sciatica resolve, I sleep better, and generally feel so much better. I happily engage in a variety of activities including my regular exercises including Yoga. I know that I am a healthier person thanks to NUCCA and what it naturally delivers to patients.

ER

Weak Immune System

I came in to see Dr. Lapenski for low back pain, but I also had an enlarged spleen, a low WBC count, and chronic fatigue all associated with my rheumatoid arthritis. To my surprise, not only did my low back pain resolve, but my spleen decreased in size, my WBC count went back up and I have more energy. It has been amazing!
