What Some of the Doctors' Patients are Saying...
I have slipped, degenerative and herniated discs in my neck. I
have had this problem for twelve years. I sleep approximately four
hours each night due to the searing pain. I have pain and loss of
mobility in my neck, right arm and right had and constant headaches.
I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and put through a series
of painful cortisone shots in the elbow. I have been told that I
need surgery on my spine, which I refuse. I have been prescribed
Soma, Lortab, Zoloft, Percodan, Demerol and ibuprofen, just to name
a few. I have spent endless hours in physical therapy, which interfered
with my job so I had to quit (physical therapy, not my job). If
I listened to the many doctors (at least seven) throughout the years
I would be disabled and so spaced out on drugs that I wouldn’t
be able to function. I was sleeping only four hours a night due
to the pain and have had a constant headache for the last 12 years.
I have not been able to water ski, bowl, play baseball, etc. anything
that requires swinging motion with your arm. Since I had always
been athletic it has been a real cramp in my style. It wasn’t
until I visited Dr. Swolensky that I finally have relief from the
headaches! I noticed the difference after only my third adjustment.
With continued chiropractic care, I am now looking forward to a
life free from pain without surgery. Dr. Swolensky is very thorough
and teaches his patients as he treats them. He makes sure you understand
your problem and the treatment process.

I was in an accident at work in March 1993, which caught my hair
in an air drill. It hurt my neck and lower back. They took x-rays
and finally, they did a MRI on me and said I would have to have
surgery. So I did have surgery in December of 1994. After the surgery
I had headaches and back pain and was unable to work. Since seeing
Dr. Swolensky, I feel better than I had for 7 years and I can stand
straight, which had been impossible because my lower back gave me
tremendous of pain. He has helped me a lot. I know I still have
a long way to go, but he really has helped me so much. The other
doctors I’ve seen just gave me pain pills that made me sick
to my stomach and did not help me at all. When I had surgery, it
gave me more trouble than I had before. Do to the surgery I can’t
sleep on my stomach (that’s how I had slept for 43 years),
I had trouble swallowing food (it gets stuck in my throat) and I
even had trouble drinking liquid. I wish I never had the surgery.
I wish I would of met Dr. Darrell C. Swolensky before I went through
all the pain and trouble I had following the surgery. The doctor
that did the surgery told me it would help with 80% of the pain
I was having plus he told me if I tripped or was in an accident
I would be paralyzed. So I was scared and had the surgery, it didn’t
take away the pain but it did give me more problems. Surgery is
not always the best thing to do. If I could go back and do it over
again, I would never have let them do surgery. I know other people
that have had this surgery like I had and they have had 2 or more
of the same surgery and the doctors have told them that they need
more surgery to get it right. I’m not willing to let them cut
on me again. Thank God for Dr. Darrell C. Swolensky, he has helped
me the most.

In September 1998, I had a car accident. The damage to the car
didn’t look like so much, but the pain and suffering I had
to endure because of it became almost unbearable. Immediately, almost
an hour after the accident, I started feeling the severe pain in
my head and from the upper back to the lower back. By morning, I
couldn’t even get up out of bed. It hurt all over. My neck
was stiff, as was my whole back. I noticed a physical change in
my neck. I had these two large lumps in the base of my head, which
since care with Dr. Swolensky now have disappeared. Well, if it
wasn’t encouraging to me, I don’t know what would be.
Those lumps had been a part of my anatomy since my 1998 accident.
I was impressed! I continued my care for the next 2 months when
I experienced the greatest accomplishment yet. The extreme pains
in my head that I experienced 4 to 5 days a week, for years, had
gone to minor headaches and sometimes, no headache. I was able to
stop taking the pain pills I had been taking for nearly three years
now. Cold turkey! I continue to have own success with care, but
I know I still have a ways to go before I can be on my own. Even
when that day comes I will still maintain healthy spine with Dr.
Swolensky.

For a year and a half, I had lower left back pain and right shoulder
pain. It seemed to bother me whenever I was sleeping, working, driving
a long distance, and walking. Sometimes I would just go in the house
and try to sit in the most comfortable position I could find until
the pain would go away. Vacuuming the house, mowing the lawn, walking
1 mile every morning, digging the yard, made me feel I was 100 years
old and not 65 anymore. I can say my back problem is gone.

In 1997 I was treated for a rare disease and prescribed Prednisone.
The medication was used for about one year with little results.
About one year ago I started seeing a chiropractor who was using
only Ultrasound. A friend of my daughter was talking about the great
results she was getting from Dr. Swolensky. My wife began care and
after I saw results in her I decided to give it a try.
Before I started care walking was very difficult because my legs
hurt very bad and I needed to rest often. Since starting care with
Dr. Swolensky I very quickly noticed my leg pain significantly improved
and can walk at least twice as far without resting. I continuously
see things improving.

On February 12, 2002, my left hip and the left side of my groin
had been painful for at least 6 to 8 months, and now, even sleep
was difficult. During the day, the pain was frequently so severe
that it affected the way I performed my job. I had been having hip
pain for along time prior to mid 2001, but it would come and go.
I knew I was strong enough to overcome it with exercise and pain
medication.
Oh boy, was I wrong! I had thoughts about surgery, recovery and
rehabilitation. It is a long process and no guarantee exists to
say I would get relief. While reading the local paper, I saw an
ad for Dr. Darrell Swolensky, Chiropractic Physician. His office
was close by and the ad was enticing. Having already thought about
possible alternatives, and not liking those thoughts, I gave Dr.
Swolensky a call.
My appointment was set for February 13. The office was clean and
the staff was friendly. I filled out some paperwork and was seen
by Dr. Swolensky. He asked me questions about my problems, showed
me some videotapes and then verbally tested me on what I had seen.
O.K., so far it was totally different from a regular Doctor visit.
Dr. Swolensky shared his thoughts about Chiropractic with me, then
sought my understanding about the process. He explained how subluxations
keep the nervous system from performing properly, allowing for degeneration
to occur within the body. After sharing our views, Dr. Swolensky
took x-rays of my spine and did a non invasive study of my spinal
subluxations.
Dr. Swolensky explained the results of the subluxation testing,
and, of course, the results weren't good. It is about what I expected.
He was explaining why I must come in for treatment. It sounded like
a sales pitch, except the things he said made sense. I know a little
about how the body is supposed to work, and could not disagree with
what he was sharing with me.
After the first adjustment, it didn't hurt, but was somewhat uncomfortable
for a very short time. I left after making a follow up appointment
and went home. After dinner, I was sitting in my comfortable chair
when my lower back near my left buttock had a spasm. It felt like
something was crawling under my skin. It didn't last long, but later,
when I got up from the chair, there was noticeably less pain in
my hip. Truly, I was amazed! I had been in severe pain for months
and was better after the first visit. Why had I waited so long?
The x-rays were what I expected. My back needed intensive care.
Dr. Swolensky counseled with me and we agreed on a long-term solution.
I want good health. I come from a line of long-lived people. With
my longevity I want as much of a pain free life as I can get!
I have been in Dr. Swolensky's Chiropractic care for 2 months now.
My friends have remarked how much more relaxed I seem. I can sit,
walk, stand and move with only occasional pain. I went hiking in
the mountains on April 14, and am planning many more hikes and possibly
a short backpack trip this summer. I will be having many more appointments
with Dr. Swolensky. I feel too good not to.

For many years I had to be very careful how I slept. Being extra
careful to keep my head and neck very straight. If, during the night
I twisted the neck or grabbed a pillow that was too thick, I’d
wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning with an excruciating
head/neck ache. I could hear/ feel the blood pounding in my head.
I’d have to get up to take ibuprofen or aspirin and hope it
calmed the pain down. This didn’t always work. Often the headache
would persist until evening. While this wasn’t an everyday
occurrence, it had been going off and on for 26 years.
I began chiropractic treatment with Dr. Swolensky for a related
problem. Last night, after being under he care for a couple months,
I woke up with that blood pounding sensation once again. However
I was able to change positions and actually hear and feel the problem
fade away. I arose in the morning feeling fine without pills. I
attribute the change to chiropractic care. No doubt about it.

My condition started with neck and back pain with headache that
slowly turned into numbness on my left side of my face. I have been
suffering from my problem occasionally for about a year. I tried
using over the counter medicine to take away the pain, headaches
and numbness but it would only go away for a while and then it would
come back. The pain from my headaches was up the left side with
a sharp aching pain and the numbness had an effect with my speech.
The pain in my lower back was so painful sometimes I could hardly
move. The suffering form this problem made me feel much, much older
than 25. It would ruin my day! When I would play games with my son,
it was hard to sit a long time or to run and play. It was also hard
to sit and do some of my hobbies. The headaches would interfere
with everything, even with trying to sleep. Now since I have been
going to Dr. Swolensky, I feel a lot better. I no longer have the
numbness from headaches. I still have a few headaches but nothing
like I had before. The pain in my lower back is slowly going away.
I’m going to keep coming until I feel 100% better. You couldn’t
ask for a better doctor to make you feel better than Dr. Swolensky
does.

When I started seeing Dr. Swolensky I didn’t have any pain
in my neck or back and I wasn’t in a car wreck. I do have a
skin allergy called eczema. I have had it since I was four years
old. I am now twenty-three. Growing up, my mother took me to every
doctor in Las Vegas, read every book about it and even took me out
of state to clinics. I went to Loma Linda Hospital located in California
and also the National Jewish Hospital for asthma in Denver, Colorado.
I stayed at the National Jewish hospital for 6 months by myself
when I was 10 years old. While in that hospital, I saw countless
numbers of dermatologists; I tried a number of different therapies.
I also attended therapy. When I left that hospital, they told me
that if they could knock my out for 6 months that my skin would
clear up. The doctors showed me different therapies that I could
do at home to keep the flare ups of eczema under control. Their
diagnosis of my skin allergy was that I was a very stressed and
nervous person. The doctors said that I wasn’t really allergic
to anything in particular. They felt that when I hit puberty, it
would clear up. I am long passed puberty and I still have flare
ups of eczema. I have been on a number of antibiotics and steroids
to help keep my skin under control. I am currently going to college
to be a teacher. I also substitute in the school district. I am
around elementary aged children everyday. These kids have so many
questions about my skin. I don’t mind answering the questions;
I just feel that the kids are a little uncomfortable around me.
Every year in April, I have a really bad flare up. It is like clockwork.
This year was different in many ways. During the month of March,
I saw Dr. Swolensky three times a week. The difference was I didn’t
flare up as serious as I usually do, I was also able to get my skin
under control and into the healing process a lot faster than in
previous years. During the month of April, I continued to see Dr.
Swolensky. I feel a tremendous change in my nerves and the daily
stress of my life. My skin is almost cleared up from this year’s
flare up. My impression of the general health benefits of chiropractic
care is why isn’t everyone going to a chiropractor. I wish
that I had tried it a lot earlier in my life. Maybe then, there
wouldn’t have been a need to spend the time and money on seeing
different doctors and hearing the same diagnoses. Let’s not
forget the heartache of my family of having to deal with the different
bills and the emotional stress on them too.

For approximately the last 9 or 10 years, I have had severe back
pains and neck pains. Since I have osteoporosis and was told by
other doctors that I should not have chiropractic care, I felt I
was reaching the end of the rope and knew that something had to
be done about the pain. The base of my skull, while sneezing or
coughing, would hurt so bad that I had to put pressure with my hands
in that area and at times when awakening would actually have to
use both hands to move my head as I could sit up. My sciatica nerve
was just as bad as I feared I would become crippled for life. Also,
I was having severe pain in my hips. Since I have been under chiropractic
care with Dr. Swolensky I feel so much better. The pain is not totally
gone but it is bearable and I intend to continue my care. Being
able to see light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, after such
great hope for total improvement. Realizing that it took years to
get this way I know it won’t be possible to get "fixed"
overnight although the very first treatment I had great relief.
In the past, it was extremely difficult to get up form a kneeling
position and now I find it less possible and find it less difficult
at this time such as getting into the bottom of the cabinets, etc.
I hope that anyone, who has osteoporosis and is afraid of being
treated, can be helped as I have. PS : Coming to this office with
the friendly staff makes it even better. It is so nice to be greeted
in such a friendly manner!
