I've had constant daily migraine
headaches. I feel miserable. I found the doctor on the internet and
what he said seemed good.
I haven't had a headache in 12 days.
I feel more positive and I'm certainly getting better and better.
Thanks Doc!

It all started when I was driving and
a truck ran a stop sign hitting the drivers side door of my car. I
had several broken ribs, a bruised lung, broken clavicle and
extensive bruising. I guess it could have been much worse. What I
didn’t expect was the pain would go on long after the bruises and
bones healed.
Prescription medication helped during
the healing process with pain. But once I went back to work they
were way to strong. I thought the neck pain and headaches would
eventually go away. But in fact, it got worse with time.
Trying to seek relief, I saw doctor
after doctor. I received test after test. That lasted for 4 years! I
had, x-rays, EMGs, MRIs. The doctors admitted there was something
wrong, but said it shouldn’t be causing all the neck pain,
headaches, or inability to turn my head to the left. In the end I
was told it was something I’d just have to live with. I thought NO
WAY!
Almost 5 ½ years after the accident,
I got a flyer from a crusader, disguised as a chiropractor telling
me about chiropractic care. I set up an appointment, received a
thorough evaluation and he told me he could help. Finally! Someone
who knew what to do!
I felt immediate relief after the
first treatment! I slept through the night for the first time in
years. My headaches were gone by the second treatment. I can now
turn my head without any pain. All thanks to Dr. Swolensky.
Laurie A. Henderson, NV
I was in a car accident and was
seeing a local doctor only to still feel horrible. In fact, things
were so bad I was having a hard time holding my six-month old bad
due to the pain. I decided to change doctors and that is how I found
Dr. Swolensky.
Within an hour after seeing Dr.
Swolensky I was able to play with my daughter more comfortably. The
care he uses is so different from the other doctors I’ve been to.
Knowing that Dr. Swolensky is there
to help is very nice.
Angeline P. Henderson, NV
I have bad headaches that lasted for
three or more days straight, without any let up. Since seeing Dr.
Swolensky I can once again take care of my home and husband without
pain.
I am sleeping better and my attitude
has changed so much.
I’m excited about doing things and
going places. I also am able to walk around all day!
Lorene G. Henderson, NV
For so many years I have had to be
very careful at night about how I slept. If I turned my head or neck
I was sure to have a massive headache in the middle of the night or
wake to excrutiating pain. I could hear the blood pounding in my
head. Often the headaches would last all day into the evening. It
wasn’t every day, but it sure was close. This last for 26 years.
I’ve only recently began seeing Dr.
Swolensky and already things are so much better.
Diane O. Henderson, NV
I came to see Dr. Swolensky after
witnessing the amazing results my aunt had in his office. I had no
control of my life. I was a ‘tripping zombie’. I suffered from
severe migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and
osteoarthritis and spent most of the day in bed. Life was really
non-existent for me.
In just 7 weeks I have gone from 31
different pills to 4. I have 90% less pain. I also lost 20lbs in
those 7 weeks.
I am a totally and completely
different person. It’s like a night and day difference.
Lynn R. Henderson, NV
I’ve had headaches, neck pain and low
back pain for as long as I can remember. I’ve used over-the-counter
things, prescription medications and warm compresses. I’ve been
using them daily.
I’ve haven’t had a headache since the
first week of treatment. And the neck and back pain are gone.
I’m happier and feel better. My
bowling and golf have improved, as well as my physical strength.
Carleen K. Las Vegas, NV
I have been suffering from headaches
for so long I can’t remember a day when I was actually
headache-free.
I started seeing Dr. Swolensky about
one month ago. I am completely headache-free now. I have better and
have more energy. I feel less stressed and am also sleeping better.
I have found this to work directly on the problem, and not just the
symptoms.
Katherine G Las Vegas, NV
I started seeing Dr. Swolensky
because nothing was helping my headaches, neck pain or low back
pain. I couldn’t move without pain. As a commissioned salesmen, I
need to be on my feet just about all day. But, too much time in any
position standing or sitting, was terrible.
Since seeing Dr. Swolensky I don’t
have to take breaks at work, which means increased sales. I can move
my neck without severe pain. I am finally able to enjoy going out
and doing things. I’m much more friendly and happy!
John B. Las Vegas, NV
I have had such severe migraines that
I could even function. I would be down for days at a time and not
able to get out of bed.
I’ve had a 180 degree turn
around in my life. I can finally participate in life again.
Thanks Dr. Swolensky
Wanetta H. Henderson, NV
I've had numb knees since knee replacement surgery
a couple years ago, chronic back pain with spasms (3 strong
narcotics have been prescribed) and constant migraines. I've felt
like a zombie and sleep all the time.
I've been seeing the doctor for two weeks and can
walk better, my knees are waking up and I've taken myself off the
pains meds. I'm no longer sleeping all the time.
Before I had to go in a wheelchair everywhere. NO
MORE. Now I ride a bike and walk for the first time in years.
Lynn R. Chillicothe, OH
I've had headaches and migraines almost daily
since I was a child (I'm now in my 30s). After seeing Dr. Swolensky
for only a couple of treatments, I haven't had a headache in a whole
week!
Elizabeth J. Las Vegas, NV
I came to see the doctor suffering with migraines,
neck pain, back pain and sciatica for years. I've also been
overweight, but unable to lose the weight.
After only three visits, all my pain is decreased!
After about six weeks of doing his digestive program, I have more
energy and have lost more than 30 pounds.
Diane M. Henderson, NV
I started Dr. Swolensky's digestive program to
lose weight. Since, I've lost 47 lbs and have much more energy!
Marcy K. Henderson, NV
I started seeing Dr. Swolensky because he is on my
route (I'm a Fed Ex driver). On the first visit I told him I was
glad I came into the office because it was unlike any chiropractic
experience I had before. I wanted total healthcare.
I lacked energy, flexibility and had weakness in
my legs.
All of these have changed so much since I started
seeing him! The energy is great and using the Footlevelers helped
strengthen my legs.
Rebecca B. Henderson, NV
My cardiologist prescribed a cholesterol drug
called Zetia. I prefer natural solutions to prescription drugs. I've
been following Dr. Swolensky's digestive program and when I went
back for a follow-up blood test my cardiologist was surprised how
good my blood work looked. I told him I was following Dr.
Swolensky's digestive program. He said keep it up!
Pam R. Las Vegas, NV
I had all kinds of pain in my legs, knees and lower back. My M.D.
had me in physical therapy for quite awhile because I wasn't willing
to get surgery. I tried Dr. Swolensky's non-surgical disc
decompression treatment. As a result, I don't have any pain and I
don't think I could be any better!
Jim P. Las Vegas, NV
I had constant lower back pain, leg numbness and couldn't sleep.
I also had testical pain for 10 years. I was afraid of surgery with
it's low chance of real success, let alone the rehab time after
surgery.
After seeing Dr. Swolensky and following his recommendations, I
sleep, my mind is clearer, back pain is gone and leg numbness is
gone.
Chris S. Henderson, NV
My back pain was so bad I've been a 10/10 for years. After seeing
Dr. Swolensky for less than one month I'm 1/10.
Francis. M. Henderson, NV
I saw Dr. Swolensky after a referral from a different
chiropractor. I've had back pain on and off for years and in spite
of been recommended surgery by many of my recent doctors I refused.
It's because I have seen so many bad surgeries in my own family,
both my Dad and brother.
The back pain lately has been bad, but the leg pain has been
horrible. It kept me from walking. I could only find comfort lying
on my back.
I couldn't walk more than 3 steps when I first came to see the
doctor and my whole leg was numb. That has all changed. No
more pain. Numbness is gone.
I feel so good, I back playing competitive racquetball. In fact,
I plan on turning pro in 15 months.
Maria M. Las Vegas, NV
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.
Shannon S.
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.
Stan N.
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.
Andy V.
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.
Joseph S.
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.
Diane O.
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.
Jolene P.
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.
Kelly D.
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!
