I've had back pain for many years. My orthopedic doctor diagnosed me with degenerative disc disease, which is a condition associated with Osteoarthritis. The only relief was medication. I was taking 800mg of Motrin.

I met Dr. Fair at the Feast in the East festival. She did a simple test that showed me that I have severe nerve pressure. On my first visit she did further testing and x-rays. On my second trip to the office I talked my wife into coming with me and I received my first adjustment. Dr. Fair showed me the results of the exam and x-rays and began corrective treatment that day. Within 2 weeks I felt a major difference. The constant pain began to subside and I found I could move better.

My job requires driving and heavy mechanical work. When I got home at the end of the day I could barely get out of the truck. Now I can move freely. I can do the required bending and stooping and turning with very little pain or discomfort. I can now get out of the truck at the end of the day.

We are now down to twice weekly visits. Our treatment consists of adjustments if needed, and exercises to continue to strengthen our muscles. We also work on increasing our balance and we have a good time.

I wish that I had done this a long time ago.

Thank you,

For the past four years I have had stiffness and pain in my neck. Also I have had a limited range of motion in the movement of the head to the right. The pain was especially noticed at night as I was unable to get my neck and head comfortable.

The only thing that I had done for the pain in the past was treat the symptoms with pain medication. I was then referred to the spine center by my good friend, who had also had a good experience there.

I was then informed of major problems in the curve of my spine in my neck as shown by x-rays. I since have been given adjustments, traction and exercises. I can now look and move my head the same amount in both directions. Since my first treatment I have had very little to no neck pain or stiffness. Every day movement gets much easier as treatment progresses.

I am 25 years old and have always had body aches and chronic migraine headaches! I have gone to see many different Doctors and have taken many over the counter pain relievers to try to heal my problems. Only now thanks to Dr. Mike and Dr. Torri have I realized that I needed to treat the cause of the problems and not the symptoms. I have learned that when your body gets to the point of pain, there is a problem and this pain is your body's natural way of telling you that something is not right.

I have been seeing Dr. Mike and Dr. Torri for about a month now and I have noticed a big difference in the way that I feel! I have not had any headaches in quite a while! I am now at the point where I receive preventative maintenance adjustments only once a week now! Just taking the time out to take care of your spine and all of its parts can be so beneficial in the long run. I now know many different exercises that I can do at home to help keep my body aligned. This whole chiropractic health experience has definitely been very enlightening and I have learned so very much from Dr. Mike and Dr. Torri! It has been an uplifting experience, not only physically but spiritually as well. So, thank you to Dr. Mike and Dr. Torri and Sherry for all of your help, understanding and support!

Thank you so much!
Peace,

I have suffered with back pain and neck pain for quite a few years. It has bothered me, especially when I sat for long periods of time. Being a secretary for most of my adult life, my back hurt a lot. I would try to stretch it out, but that normally wouldn't help.

My husband and I then began treatment at the goldsboro spine center. the Doctors explained the subluxation and malfunction of the spine, and my spine was adjusted. I was adjusted when needed and I was shown exercises to continue strengthening my muscles.

I am able to go up and down stairs a lot easier and I don't have the pain that I was used to. Having a chronic auto-immune disease, I was hesitant to go to "one more doctor," but this has proven to be a true healing experience.

Thank you,

I have had neck pain for the past 20 years. Since then the neck pain has progressively turned into headaches. The headaches appeared occasionally, at first, and then they became quite regular.

Due to this I could not wear a helmet and stopped riding my motorcycles. I could not turn my head fully to the left and I would walk with my eyes toward the ground. All the while I would have daily discomfort. I met Dr. Fair and Dr. Gambacorta and sherry at the S.J. Air force base, and they spoke to me about Chiropractic. I decided to try Chiropractic care. Upon my initial visit and x-rays it was noted that I did not have the proper curvature in my neck area of my spine, and that my headaches were mostly tension headaches.

Through my treatment, the Doctor's have introduced traction, exercises, and regular adjustments to help correct the problem.

At this time I have full neck movement, there is no pain in this area and I do not get headaches any more. I am pretty much capable to resume all of the activities I could not attempt before. I don't have daily pain and I feel great. Thanks to the Goldsboro Spine Center team!!!

Thank You,

Prior to coming to the Goldsboro Spine Center it was difficult for me to get up and sit down when going to sit on the couch. I had chronic lower back pain.

In the spring of 2004 I was diagnosed with scoliosis, osteoarthritis, and bone spurs. I was evaluated by a physical therapist and given some exercises to do. As well, I began an exercise program on my own. While performing these activities it was easy to "throw my back out" and the pain did not go away.

In February, I began going to the Goldsboro Spine Center. Now, my back is not hurting constantly! I only notice it when I ignore my posture and lift improperly. Getting up and down from the couch is easy. I can work in the yard all day without having any back pain at night.

As well, the numbness that I felt in my thighs prior to going to the Goldsboro Spine Center (GSC) is no longer a part of my life. Almost every time I go to GSC I learn a new tip to make my life and health richer. What a blessing!

I have suffered from pain down into my legs from time to time. I could not lift my right arm over my head. I am seventy- five years old this year, and I just thought I was supposed to feel this way.

I would take pain medication and vioxx for years when I felt pain in my legs. It would help me cope with the pain but, it would not make it any better the next day.
When I came into the Goldsboro Spine Center I had a spine exam and x-rays done. I saw my results and found out that subluxation and degeneration were a major part of my condition.

The doctors designed a treatment plan and an exercise plan for me and we would do them in the office. I now can lift my right arm over my head, and I have no symptoms when I do daily routine tasks.

I have been suffering from chronic neck pain, stiffness and numbness in both of my hands for the past five to six years. I was not able to do many things that I like to do because I never had any strength in my hands. In fact, I would feel pain daily in my hands and I would wake up at night with the pain.

Prior to coming to the Goldsboro Spine Center, I had seen an Orthopedic Surgeon. He said that I had carpal tunnel in both hands and recommended that I wear braces on both hands each night and sometimes during the days.

At the Goldsboro Spine Center I was informed that a major part of my condition was due to subluxation in my spine. They were up front and honest about everything.

I can now perform any activities that I want to, and turn my head easily and pain free. I do not have any symptoms anymore. I have greatly benefited from complimentary care.
