      "When I first came to your office, I was literally hobbled and worn out by pain, desperate for relief, and nearly without hope. After struggling with severe back pain nearly my entire life due to breaking my back in my early teens, my back had progressively deteriorated to the point that it was literally a struggle to get up in the morning without my husband's help. I felt like 90. I was 44. Over the course of 20 years, I exercised and did physical therapy to try and stave off the back pain. I also took copious amounts of Ibuprofen and other medications to deal with the pain. In the end, all remedies were only partially effective and short-lasting at best, yet each relapse more debilitating.
      Over the course of the last three years, other aspects of my health began to erode: I needed emergency surgery to remove my gall bladder, just two weeks after having to have a hysterectomy. I was then diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis after years of suffering from urgency, pain, and frequency of urination. In fact, it had been decades since I slept soundly because my bladder would have me running to the bathroom upwards of seven times throughout the course of a night's sleep.
      Now the good news: Within the first week of your chiropractic adjustments, I was bounding up and down flights of stairs and sitting up in bed on my own. By week two, I was bending, cleaning the house, and shopping the mall without collapsing in tears afterward. By week three, I realized I was sleeping through the night and bouncing out of bed on my own like a kid. I now urinate with the frequency of a healthy person and I can drink copious amounts of water or coffee without fear or urgency. (Gone is my motto of "10 minutes or 10 miles.") By week four, I was wearing non-orthopedic shoes. In fact, I was wearing girl shoes. (I've also been plagued by "chronic, acute tendon-itis" in my feet since I was a toddler. Guess what? Not any more!)
      It is now three months into treatment, and I have a new lease on life, as cliché as that sounds. Honestly, the slightest ebbing of my back pain would have been a total win for me. I had no idea all my aches, pains and weird little afflictions would be erased. I feel like I owe you my life; at least my quality of life. I can now move forward with gusto to the business of energetically taking care of my family and building my business. You rock!
      My deepest and most sincere respect, admiration, and gratitude."

      "Several years ago I was diagnosed as having sleep apnea, a sleeping disorder that causes interruption in breathing due to excessive snoring. It's considered serious and can lead to high blood pressure and other serious health problems. The treatment for this disorder is to wear a mask when asleep and have air continuously pumped into the mouth so as to not have an interruption in the breathing cycle. Needless to say, this is uncomfortable and makes it hard to get a restful sleep.
      I started going to Dr. Karen Jacobson, a Chiropractor in Scottsdale a while back in order to improve my general health. I received Chiropractic adjustments 3 times a week. The visits helped measurably. Much to my surprise and delight
I no longer suffer from the symptoms of Apnea. I don't snore any longer, my breathing is steady and I no longer need a mask.
      Nothing has changed other that I am seeing Dr. Jacobson for Chiropractic Care, so it's an obvious conclusion that the adjustments I'm receiving are the reason for the terrific improvement. I cannot say enough about how Dr. Jacobson has helped me and continues to help me achieve a substantial improvement in my overall well being."

      "Two years ago my daughter and I were involved in a car accident. I had recently started chiropractic care and called Dr. Jacobson to see if she could examine our injuries. She took some x-rays and adjusted us accordingly. I set up a plan for McKaila. I learned there was more to chiropractic care that what I had thought. McKaila’s health was amazingly different. She had chronic ear infections and a doctor was ready to put tubes in her ears. After getting adjusted she has not had a single ear infection and has not been antibiotics for 2 ½ years. My precious daughter has been significantly healthy, and looks forward to her visits with Dr. Jacobson. She is only 3 ½ and when you ask her why she gets adjusted, she replies, "To stay healthy". I have also enjoyed the benefits of being health and my body feels better than it ever has before."

      "As a lifetime dancer and gymnast, my body and spine have been subjected to abnormal stress and strain.
      In 1970, while being trained for the upcoming 1972 Olympics, I suffered from my 1st ruptured disc, at the age of 16. Being in a near paralyzed state, but hoping to avoid surgery, my parents inquired about alternatives, including chiropractic. An orthopedic specialist told us that chiropractic manipulation would cause severe damage. The next 22 years revolved around painkillers, muscle relaxers, interminable bed rest, etc. Then I ruptured the same disc again.
      I was fortunate to meet Dr. Jacobson. At that time my mind was so programmed against chiropractic, that it took Dr. Jacobson nearly a year to talk me into coming in for just an exam and x-rays. Witnessing my daily pain was enough to keep her persistent. To make a long story short, I now only buy Ibuprophen for an occasional headache. I haven’t seen a doctor or needed a drug for back pain in over 3 years. Same old line – I wish I knew then; what I know now.       I know now that we can ask almost anything of our bodies physically, if we just take care of the major life support system – the spine. I know now that I will acquire a lifetime of health through continued chiropractic care. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Jacobson for now I am Pain Free, Drug Free and at last Healthy and Free."

      "In the past I have seen chiropractors because of car accidents I had been in. I had not been in a few years. A few months ago I came into Dr. Jacobson’s office mostly with complaints of back pain. My job as a bellman keeps me very active and doing much physical labor daily. I have grown up with asthma and allergies. Most days I could not go without having to use my inhaler several times. After just over a month of adjustments and traction I noticed a significant difference in my asthma and inhaler use. Some days I use it not at all. I have also been told my posture and the way I walk is different, straighter and more comfortable looking. These little changes so far are big ones in my life and will continue I am sure as I go."

      "The initial chiropractic exam you gave me explained why when having my picture taken by the photographer she would say “straighten your head.” Over the last few years my Jr. H.S. students would ask me at the end of the day, ‘ are you limping?” Needless to say I was upset.
      Over the last 3 and ½ months I have been experiencing changes and a better sense of well being than I have in years. Within the first month my GI track became regular. This I have never experienced before! The leg pain from Fibromyalgia went away. I felt I could breathe better. As the weeks have gone by, nobody has said, “are you limping”, and my stress level has been reduced. I can move my body much better, so much so that I can now exercise again. This in turn is giving me more energy. My body is starting to shape up and I am losing weight."

P.S. As of my last re-eval I believe that my head is on straighter.
