PATIENT SUCCESS STORIES
For years I had a stiff neck and headaches when waking from a regular nights sleep. It began to affect my personal life, work and exercise due to my diminshed capacity and frequent repositioning. I tried Tylenol, a neck pillow while watching television, frequently changing position while at work using the computer and physical therapy. None of which had any success. My son and daughter-in-law suggested that I go see Dr. Mike since they had so much improvement after seeing him. Dr Mike identified the problem area as an area at the base of my skull that needed adjustment. Once identified and adjusted the stiffness and headaches went away completely. Knowing the problem and having it corrected has been a huge improvement in my life and given me peace of mind. I can’t thank Dr. Mike enough. His concern for the whole patient and the efforts made to identify and address issues really make the difference.

For 15 years I suffered from severe headaches and somewhere along the way I developed sleep apnea. My headaches were so bad I couldn’t get out of bed. They would last for a few days at times. For my sleep apnea I was a CPAP machine and then a BiPap machine. The machines didn’t really help I still had fatigue. I was always tired and worn out. I could never go out and enjoy myself. I met Dr. Mike at one of the local home shows and set up an appt for the following week. After just a few adjustments I no longer needed to use my BiPAP machine, and I no longer got headaches. It was such an amazing improvement. I can finally enjoy my life! I am not tired all the time, and it feels GREAT not having headaches anymore. I was told by the sleep clinic doctor I would be on a BiPap machine for the rest of my life. Boy was he wrong!! I LOVE Dr. Mike and his staff. They are great! When you go there everyone is so friendly, it is like one big family. I tell evvveryone about the doctor and how much he has helped me and my husband.

For 40 years I had back, neck and knee pain. The pain was unbearable at times. At first I was seeing an MD who was giving me shots in my knees every three months. The MD wanted to do surgery on my knees and give me artifical ones. I really did not want to have surgery done. I tried ice, hot pads and other chiropractors which had no results. I found Dr. Mike from an advertisement in the newspaper and immediatley made an appt. After the first few adjustments I had significant improvement, and after less than a month I had MAJOR improvement in ALL three areas. It was like a miracle! I found myself being able to walk normally and feeling years younger. Best of all I no longer had to get surgery. I cant thank Dr. Mike enough! The atmosphere at his office is also great. It’s just like being at home, very friendly. I LOVE them ALL!!

My 7 month old was on a nebulizer with Pulmicort once a day, and Albuterol three or four times a day. He would wake up during the night several times. He would be coughing, wheezing, and having trouble breathing. This kept myself and my son from getting a good nights sleep. I took him to come see Dr. Raczkowski. After just five adjustments, he was doing so much better. That week we skipped his breathing treatment, and he also slept all thru the night with no problems. I am beyond grateful for Dr. Raczkowski’s help. Thank you Dr. Raczkowski!

I had a colonscopy recommened by my PCP. They found a cancerous polyp in my rectum. A surgeon removed it; but said I would need surgery. Dr. Raczkowski worked on the area that controls the colon and rectal area. When I went back to the surgeon he found NO sign of cancer. Thank you Dr. R!! Words cannot tell you how much I appreciate all you have done for me.

I had experienced allergies, especially in the spring and fall, for many years. These allergy attacks was also accompanied by headaches. The headaches were thought to be from the atmosphere. I also have arthritis in my hips. I came to the chiropractor for adjustments. I was much better after only three weeks of treatments. I haven’t had to take any medications for my allergies, or headaches. Also, I haven’t had to take any sleeping medicine. Thank you Dr. Raczkowski for all your help!

I have diabetes and I had to take insulin for thirty-four years. I had eyesight problems for thirty-two years. I had twenty years of hypertension. I had problems with stroke and vesicular system for nine years. I had high cholesterol for eight years. I went three years without a good night sleep. After my first adjustment, I slept for the entire night. My daily insulin requirement had dropped by one third. I am able to walk better. My neck is able to move freely. This is all after just one month of adjustments. After another month my need for medications dropped and I felt more flexible. Thank you Dr. Mike for all the help.

I had a problem that was hard to understand. After eating I would get a really bad cough. I would get very congested. Everytime I ate I would feel like I had a cold. My nose and throat would get congested. Then I would cough and cough. This would last for about an hour. This was very hard to deal with, because this was something I couldn’t stpod doing. I had to eat to live. Thanks to Dr. Raczkowski I can eat without feeling sick. After a couple of adjustments, I can now eat. I don’t ever have to worry about eating again. I can actually enjoy my food now. I will be able to go out with friends and not worry how i will feel afterwards.

When my son Jaret was six years old he had extreme problems with asthma and allergies. He was taking three medicines, and still having problems. He also used an inhaler of steroids. After four years of him taking these meds I decided to seek chiropractic help. Dr. Raczkowski seemed to be the perfect kind of chiropractor for what I was looking for. Jaret ended only having to see Dr. Raczkowski for 2 months before he was completely better. He has not taken any medications since his adjustments. I was so worried about my son since he was only 6 years old and having health issues. I can’t explain how excited I am to have him healthy and off medications. THANK YOU DR. Raczkowski FOR ALL THE HELP.

I had pain and weakness in my hands. I had pain in my neck and lower back. I was tired all the time. Even after release surgery on my hands, they would still shut down. I still had numbness, pain and weakness. They would just stop working. After coming to see Dr. Raczkowski, I had amazing results. My hands are stronger. My pain is cut in half. The numbness is GONE! Thank you Dr. Mike! I can now do things I need to do at home and at work.

I had constant pain in my jaw for fifty-five years.
This pain started when I was twenty-one years old. It started with a toothache. I went to the dentist. He removed the tooth; but it was a horrible experience.
Even after the removal of the tooth; I still suffered from terrible pain. The dentist told me it would heal in a year. Needless to say; it didn’t. I still had the pain after three operations. I had acupuncture, laser, and an operation at the base of my brain. This left me partially paralyzed.
I came to see Dr. Raczkowski. I was not expecting it to help. After each visit I could feel something happening to my jaw. After each visit, the pain was less and less. Then all the pain finally went away. I still have tightness in my jaw. I feel this will be better as I continue my adjustments with my chiropractor.
Thank you for everything Dr. Raczkowski.

I had severe lower back pain. My arms would go numb. I couldn’t hold my left arm over my head. I was receiving two allergy shots a week. I would lose my voice, and be short of breath. I had been to both heart and lung doctors. Thanks to Dr. Raczkowski; I don’t have to get allergy shots or use inhalers anymore. Dr. Raczkowski explained how the spine controls every function of the body. My arm and shoulders are working normally. I have only lost my voice once since I started care. My lower back feels better. I realize I will need to continue my adjustments, so I can keep my body healthy.

I broke my right femur when I was seventeen. My right foot would turn out. This made it very hard to walk and keep my balance. After seeing Dr. Raczkowski, my foot is straight. I am able to walk more, because I have good balance. I also have arthritis in my knee. My right hip always felt like it was out of joint. They are all better, after my treatments with Dr. Raczkowski. I can turn my head without pain. I have been having normal blood sugars since treatments. Thanks Dr. Raczkowski for helping me get a better life.

NO MORE PROBLEMS!!

Another patient who was seeing Dr. Raczkowski; told me I should try chiropractic care. After just a few visits; my migraines were gone. My baxk is feeling much better. Thanks Dr. Raczkowski, My life wouldn’t be the same without you.

I had extreme lower back pain and spasms that would basically bring me to my knees. It began a few years ago in 2004 when I injured it moving alot of boxes in my move back here from sunny california. It was like someone stabbing me in my back! It affected me the most when I was rushing to move. I was on a tight schedule and had to push it. I paid the price! I had to literally pack and lift over 400 boxes. I tried to cure my condition by alot of stretching, it helped some but it would reoccur. Also I drank alot of water to try and flush out the toxins in my body/muscles. I found out about Dr. Mike through some friends, and i’m glad I did! The results were gradual at first, then the results became accelerated as I was on a schedule. I never missed my appointments, and now am on track! I can do what I want to do without any discomfort. Dr. Mike is more than a Doctor, he is also a great teacher. My impression with Dr. Mike and the team is well above average and past my expectations!
-Ed K.
My major complaint was tingling and numbness in my left arm, and a loss of feeling in my left hand and fingers. The pain progressively got worse over a period of approx. 2 years. After I started seeing Dr. Raczkowski there suddenly was a significant change in the frequency of events, to the point of having very rare problems or none at all. What a wonderful feeling!

My son had immune deficiency from birth. He also had asthma and allergies from age 3-7, and was on several medications. His biggest health concern was his sleep apnea. I began to try everything I could to get him healthy. He was on at least 5 medications. I put him on a healthy diet and kept him in a sterile environment. I took him to allergy clinic every 3 months, and injected him with vaccines(which I regret!). We got his blood work dne, and had his tonsils and adenoids removed. I felt as though I had exhausted all my options. He was at the point where we had to monitor his exercise, because he couldn’t get overheated. He couldn’t join any sports teams or play with other kids because of his asthma. I was so overjoyed when I found out about Dr. Mike. My son is now adjusted and balanced. He had one episode 8 months ago and hasn’t had one since. He is now on the basketball team, and can play with other kids. He even plays the trumpet now, imagine that! He loves to sleep now, and sleeps so peacefully. He even has a better appetite! The staff is very caring and helps to educate people. I agree with his thought process and how chiropractic helps heal the body. It obviously worked miracles for my son!!

After my auto accident I began to have constant neck pain, constant burning pain and an aching and numbness in my leg. I work in front of a computer daily and was in constant pain. I couldn’t do thing that I once enjoyed like taking walks at the park. After the first few visits the pain was gone almost completely. My legs no longer went numb and I now can walk without pain! The office is extremely friendly and you are a friend, not just a patient. No “stuffy” Dr.’s here!

In the recent years I started suffering from a stiff hip, knee pain, back pain, and high blood pressure. I was a complete mess. I started treatment and I now walk better, knee pain has gone. My hip is improving daily. I am off my blood pressure medicine. I couldn’t ask for more!

My car accident caused pain in my neck, shoulders and back. I started getting a shooting pain and loss of strength in my legs. I soon found myself without work since I work doing physical labor. I was desperate to find relief if not a cure. I found Dr. Mike through some friends. The pain in my leg and loss of strength has gone as well as the headaches. The pain in my neck, back and shoulders have very little pain. I now am back to work and feeling better than ever! Thanks Dr. Mike!
