Chiropractic Success Story

1. What symptoms (if any) did you have upon entering our office and what was your life like prior to chiropractic care?

My 10 year old daughter started seeing Dr Wendi about 1 ½ years ago. She has very bad allergies – both environmental and food. She started getting adjusted every week, but now we go every two weeks. Her symptoms were runny nose, congestion and headaches.

2. How did chiropractic care make a difference in your life? How will this impact your future?

Wow!! What a difference for my daughter. She no longer has to take her allergy medicine. We will continue to go to Dr Wendi for chiro care, since I believe the chiro care has truly helped my daughter.

3. What can you do better now that you couldn’t do prior to chiropractic care?

Dr Wendi has taught me so much about the body and how everything works. Chiro care has given me such a good feeling about my body and my two daughters bodies.

4. Anything else you’d like to add?

Dr Wendi is great! The office has a great “feel,” clean, smells good and lovely music.

Dr Wendi gave us our lives back!

My family and I moved to NJ in 2013. I had suffered with daily migraines for several years and while I had gotten some relief through hormone and drug therapies, I couldn’t get complete relief. A friend told me about Dr Wendi’s chiropractic care but because I had seen a chiropractor a few times before (who treated me only when I had pain) and didn’t see improvement, I thought I had exhausted all my chiropractic options. Fortunately, my friend kept encouraging me to see Dr Wendi.

From my first visit with Dr Wendi to my last, I received excellent care. She used several assessments, including x-rays, creating a personal plan for me that brought relief and healing. I noticed a difference immediately. Under her gentle but knowledgeable care, the migraines subsided. My family saw such amazing improvements in my health.

When my two athletic daughters began to experience hip, ankle and leg pain that hindered their soccer playing, I took them to Dr Wendi as well as my orthopedist. The orthopedist couldn’t find any problems and made some suggestions on how to manage the pain however, Dr Wendi assessed them and could show me on the x-rays how their spines were out of alignment causing stress and pain in other areas. She put them on a chiropractic plan and, within a few visits, their pain subsided.

Her care, education and compassion are priceless. I finally understand that chiropractic care isn’t just for when you have pain. When seen regularly, it gets to the root cause of the pain but also prevents future pain and issues! Chiropractic care with Dr Wendi brings 360 health!

Pediatric Colic Story

Our son Evan was colic from birth. Nothing satisfied him, he cried so much the first few months. Evan was diagnosed with acid reflux and was on prevacid for almost a year. He also had frequent ear infections and multiple upper respiratory infections. His ENT convinced us to get bilateral tubes in his ears when he was 14 months old. His sleep patterns were inconsistent and when he did sleep at night, the span of rest time did not last very long. He would constantly wake up in the middle of the night restless and often crying. He seemed “clumsy” the first few months of walking, bumping into a lot of walls and doors.

Read More of Evan’s Story

When Evan was 16 months old, we started his chiropractic visits with Dr. Wendi. We stopped the acid reflux medicine once he started the adjustments. Within a month, he was experiencing solid, sound sleep patterns and the acid reflux subsided. As the weekly adjustments continued, Evan began walking with more balance, less falls and no more bumping into walls. As for ear infections, he has yet to be diagnosed with either an ear infection or an upper respiratory infection. Some may say this is the result of the tubes, but I beg to differ. I think it is the combination of both practices that has helped my son in preventing the onset of these infections. The impact the chiropractic care has had on my son is priceless. He is a happy and healthy boy now. He eats and sleeps like a champ. His digestive system is working properly and on days that he may be a little constipated, within 20 minutes of a Dr. Wendi visit he is regular again.

There are several things we can do now that were not possible prior to the chiropractic visits. For starters, my husband and I can finally sleep. We have Evan in daycare full-time, so the chances for Evan to get sick are a lot higher that kids his age who stay home. However, seeing and living with the positive results of chiropractic care, I have more confidence in Evan’s immune system than I did before. For instance, in the summer there was an outbreak of cacksackie, and Evan did not experience even one symptom. Just recently, Evan started to have the sniffles, and within 48 hours they disappeared. Before Evan gets his immunizations, we now arrange an extra chiropractic session just to boost his immune system. As a result, Evan has not experienced any side effects from the vaccines, when prior to Dr. Wendi, he would often have a fever and digestive issues after the vaccines.

I wish now that I had taken my friend’s advice months after Evan was born and not sixteen months after, and taken Evan to Dr. Wendi a lot sooner. I was always a skeptic of chiropractors. But the first visit was the opposite of what I had originally thought – rough adjustments and harsh cracking of one’s back. Instead, gentle and soft adjustments are applied to babies, toddlers and kids. Evan jumps on the table now eager to “get the bad guys out.” I am a firm believer that parents should consider including a pediatric chiropractor in their child’s routine schedule. I know how busy it gets with working full-time, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry and of course, a full-time job on its own – child-rearing. Nevertheless, a visit takes only a few minutes, and the positive impact it has on the child and family is simply amazing.

Auto Injury Story

About 10 years ago my husband injured his neck in a minor auto accident. He went to a chiropractor to help his injury heal and relieve his symptoms. Along the way we learned about how important it is for the children to also have their spines checked regularly for interference. This we were told will help them remain healthy. It wasn’t long after we began getting adjusted that my husband started to feel better and my migraine headaches began to diminish. I almost never get headaches anymore.

We stayed with the same chiropractor for many years until moving to Park Ridge. Then it was six years before we found Dr. Wendi. I had tried many other chiropractors and was unhappy, but as soon as I walked into Dr. Wendi’s office I knew this was the right chiropractor for my family.

Our children always enjoyed getting adjusted, and we plan on continuing with our regular care for many years to come.

I Was a Mess

Before coming in to see Dr. Wendi I was a mess!! For almost 20 years I had suffered with low back pain, and just before I came to see Dr. Wendi I was experiencing numbness from the waist down. I have suffered with arthritic knees for the past 15 years. Most recently I had been experiencing shoulder and arm pain, as well as stiffness in the fingers when I woke in the morning. I have suffered for more than a decade with a serious bacterial infection called cellulites. My x-rays revealed subluxations as well as arthritis which the doctor said was interfering with my nervous system and could be the cause of my health problems.

After just 3 visits I could see positive improvements. My posture improved and I seemed to be standing taller, I slept better, my sinuses cleared up and when I got the cellulites the symptoms weren’t as severe. I feel so fortunate to have met Dr. Wendi. She’s a kind, compassionate, and understanding person. She’s very knowledgeable about her profession and she takes time to listen to you.

I’m looking forward to continuing to come for my adjustments for a long time because I can see and feel a difference.

Back Pain and Allergy Relief

Before beginning care at Hands On Family Chiropractic I was a mess. My neck was causing me pain all the time and was beginning to move down into my shoulder and upper back, and my lower back always ached. My allergies were so bad that I was on prescription medication all year except for one month, January. After consulting with an Orthopedic Surgeon about my neck and shoulder pain, after an MRI showed a herniated disc and some arthritis he suggested surgery. I had been to other chiropractors before but none of them adjusted me, but instead used ultrasound.

After just a couple of months under Dr. Wendi’s care I haven’t used any allergy medication, my lower back pain is almost gone and my neck and shoulders are almost like new. Thanks so much Dr. Wendi, I recommend you to everyone I know.
