Hi, my name is Paula K. Chapman and I have been diagnosed with severe scoliosis and severe facet disease along with degenerative disease. I also have multilevel tricompartment stenosis and neural foraminal impingement, more severe on the left side. I have abnormal soft tissue in the left spinal canal representing a calcified synovial cyst. On and on and on … in plain language, I have a severely screwed-up lower back!

I have been in back pain for most of my life in one venue or another and no one (medically) could ever explain to me why. I’ve been in debilitating back pain for the past five years with not much hope for any relief. After many falls and trips to the spinal specialist all they could offer was the severity of my back with the only kind of relief were nerve blocks. They never even discussed the scoliosis issue with me. I was told that surgery would be of no benefit and would probably make my situation worse. I truly felt as if I was left with no hope at all. I had to learn to live with my pain and get nerve blocks that never lasted more than three weeks at a cost of $2,000 each!

I began reading some information sent to my husband through the mail from Advanced Back & Neck Pain Center. I was very skeptical at first but I continued reading all I could, then went online to their site and began reading more & more! I thought maybe they could help me, what did I have to lose? No one was offering me any hope. After discussing the entire situation with my husband, I decided that I would make an appointment. What did I have to lose?

I came to Advanced Back & Neck Pain Center!!! For the first time, in a long time, Dr. Rinow explained what was happening in my life and why as we studied the x-rays and he showed me the severity of my diagnosis! He explained to me why I was falling all the time due to the severe scoliosis and why no other doctor ever addressed the situation earlier in my life! Now I knew why I was suffering so badly and that I didn’t have to anymore!!! As we began the adjustments, in less than three weeks, I could actually reach over and shut the car door, which I haven’t been able to do for quite some time. I can now get out of bed without crying for five minutes before I could straighten up and proceed with getting dressed. I can put on pants without all the debilitating pain I had been experiencing for far too long! This past weekend I walked the entire mall without having to sit down several times! No pain and feeling great!

With every adjustment I fell more and more blood flow throughout different parts of my body. I really forgot what that felt like! I can see the difference in my feet! They are a healthy pink again! I feel the difference every day, with less and less pain. Even co-workers and family members are commenting on the difference in my attitude, vitality and my coloring! It goes to show just how devastating constant pain can be on your psyche and very well being!

I am so glad that I decided to try the chiropractic experience, with their modern scientific methods, have been the best for me! Chiropractic has given me such terrific results as practiced today, no surgeries and no prescriptions, and I am so very grateful!

Thank you so much Dr. Rinow for teaching me about how my body works and when it gets what it needs it will heal itself, with a little adjustment! Thanks for giving me back my life!

Dr. McKay Asks some important questions of interest to Newark residents - Chiropractor Newark Dr. McKay Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
How long does it take to form a bone spur?
Many who begin chiropractic care think their problem happened "last week when you bent over funny." But pictures of the spine tell a different story. Chiropractors know it can take your body years to deposit the calcium necessary to form a bone spur. It's your body's response to stress due to gravity or joint malfunction. And chiropractic care can help.
