I consulted Dr. Carrie and Dr. Cindy for chronic sinus infections. I had severe sinus pressure, headaches, stuffy nose, and blocked ears. My symptoms first began about 25 years ago when I was a teenager. I would normally use antibiotics 6 to 10 times a year and the antibiotics were no longer effective for me. I was willing to try anything to stop my sinus infections. I had never been to a chiropractor before and I had some doubt that chiropractic and acupuncture would help. My first impression of the office was awesome! These ladies are great! Within one week I had no more sinus pressure. I had three acupuncture sessions and continued to have no sinus pressure or pain. I would recommend others to try acupuncture or chiropractic at least once…you may see immediate results. I have told about 12 other people so far about chiropractic and acupuncture and now I only wonder…why did I wait so long??

I suffered a massive herniated disc in my lower back in 2005 which gave me tremendous pain and the loss of 50% of feeling in my left leg. I underwent surgery to correct the problem. While the surgery alleviated a great deal of the pain, it did nothing for the numbness in the left leg. For almost a year after the surgery I saw a physical therapist regularly to try and reduce my daily (chronic) pain and hopefully regain some feeling in my leg. I gave up and resigned myselfto living with constant pain and a numb leg. In 2009, my back pain began to increase again and I started experiencing neck pain as well.

Frightened that the pain would continue to worsen I consulted Dr. Cindy and Dr. Carrie at Back In Health Wellness Center. Within 2 weeks of treatment I had already noticed a significant relief from my back and neck pain. After 6 weeks of treatment I no longer had constant pain! For the first time since my back injury, I was amazed to be able to make it through a full day pain-free! Additionally, the numbness in the left leg has begun to decrease, which I never thought would be possible. I would highly recommend the incredible staff at Back In Health to anyone. They have really made a difference in my life!

I was in my second trimester of my pregnancy when I started having a lot of pain. I had lower back pain, sciatic nerve pain down alternating legs, headaches, and neck stiffness. I had pain every day and the pain was severe by the end of the day. Because I was pregnant, I feared taking too much medication so I only took a little Tylenol to ease the pain. The severity of the pain and my lack of knowledge of how to self-treat led me to decide to try chiropractic. I had never been to a chiropractor before and I was immediately impressed with Back In Health. I had immediate pain relief and as long as I kept up with the doctor’s recommendations I continued to feel well. The doctor gave me recommendations for daily home stretching and exercises. I would suggest that others seek help from Dr. Carrie and Dr. Cindy at Back In Health. One treatment made a difference for me.

Last year I was diagnosed with needing knee replacement surgery by an orthopedist. After consulting with Dr. Carrie, I elected to try the Acupuncture treatment. Dr. Carrie was totally up front with me. She told me that acupuncture would not cure my particular disease, but she was confident that it would prolong the need for surgery. I am now happy to say that she has been 100% accurate. I am able to play golf every Saturday and walk without a noticeable limp. I started out seeing her twice a week and now with the improvement I only need the treatment once every three weeks. Also I would like to mention that I consulted with Dr. Cindy about a weight loss program and since the new year I have lost 20 pounds which has helped my knee as well. I speak highly of these two professionals and would recommend them to anyone.

I brought my two month old infant to see the doctors at Back In Health. My son was only able to turn his head in one direction and it lasted a few weeks. Our pediatrician said he had torticollis, suggested exercises, and recommended a consultation with a chiropractor. I had been to chiropractor for myself, but not for my children. After consulting with our pediatrician, our friends, and researching chiropractic care for babies I decided to try chiropractic. My first impression of Back In Health was wonderful. My worries subsided starting with my first phone call and then during our consultation with the doctor. She recommended adjustments three times weekly for two weeks. My son was a completely different baby with full motion in his neck following the fourth adjustment. I have told all of our family and our friends who have babies that chiropractic is a safe way of treating children.

I just love going in for adjustments! ALL the ladies there are so pleasant and professional! And my shoulder is 100% better in a months time!!! Thank you Dr. Cindy and Dr. Carrie.

I had lower back pain, numbness, and tingling down one leg for a period of several months. It was gradually getting worse and was a 10 on a pain scale of 0-10. I was taking prescription pain meds and vicadin that did not solve the issue. I had heard positive things from others about chiropractic and I had seen a chiropractor for headaches as a teenager. At first impression, Back In Health and its doctors were very welcoming, friendly, and warm. The doctor recommended treatment twice a week at first for adjustments, stretching exercises, electrical stim, and traction. I went from severe pain to virtually no pain over a period of 10-12 weeks. I would definitely recommend others to consider chiropractic…it has even helped my allergies. My experience with Back In Health has been very positive and I will continue and plan to seek chiropractic care for other issues in the future.

For me, when selecting a physician, compassion is as important as skill. One is really hindered in the absence of another. Fortunately with Drs. Cindy Perkins and Carrie Oleston, you get an abundance of both. At Back in Health, I always feel that people care about me and my well being. A person's motivation for doing something is vital to its success, in anything in life. The two doctors, the massage therapist, and the support staff are really motivated to help you and your body get back to functioning correctly. Also, Dr. Cindy and Dr. Carrie are very knowledgeable and skilled. You can get help and information on a wide variety of topics, from spine to knee to jaw. You can tell within a few minutes of talking to them just how proficient they are. Throw in that everyone is extremely likeable, and you have one great place for health care.

Finally, I want to say a little about chiropractic care. As the son of a surgeon, I was unfamiliar with chiropractic growing up. Let me assure you, it is amazing. I don't know anyone who has tried it that has disliked it, and it really can treat many maladies that biomedicine cannot. Don't ask me, ask my tailbone. It hurt for a year, and I couldn't get any help from Mds on it except "let it heal". Dr Cindy took one look at me, and could see my sacrum was out of alignment. The improvement has been amazing.

I had chronic neck pain and headaches for almost 3 years. I took Soma only when absolutely necessary and I refused to take other drugs to simply treat the pain. Back In Health Wellness Center has a great atmosphere and very understanding doctors. The doctor recommended adjustments, heat/ice, and exercises to strengthen my neck. I had great results with my treatment and soon had no more neck pain or headaches. My mother has also been treated with chiropractic for fibromyalgia and she is 98% better. I tell everyone about chiropractic and I am going to school next year to become a chiropractor myself!

I came into the office for infertility, but I was also having lower back and leg pain and I was not able to sleep through the night. I tried for one year to get pregnant and nothing helped. I just wanted help. I had these other pains for a few years and I even had to have surgery a year ago. I had never had chiropractic or acupuncture before and I was a big time doubter that they could help me. The people at Back In Health were very friendly and the doctor is great. I came in not sure anything would happen. Wow! The first day I wanted to crawl up in a ball and sleep I was so relaxed. That night I slept like a baby. After my second treatment, I notice the pain in my leg was no longer there. Now I recommend to others that they should try acupuncture first before meds. It might save them a lot of trouble in the long run. Now I feel great about acupuncture and I’m having a baby thanks to getting my body aligned and in tuned.

I have always been a bit skeptical of Chiropractic medicine, but after suffering back pain for about 18 months, I decided to try the Back In Health Wellness Center. Drs. Oleston and Perkins were very welcoming and after reviewing my X-rays, Dr. Oleston explained the medical issues causing the pain, and the plan to correct it. We have executed their plan, and my pain is nearly gone in a few short months. Initially I was visiting twice a week, then tapering to once a week, and now am seeing them only every other week. It’s working – and I’m almost pain free. Today I am able to resume almost all of my previous physical activities including strenuous work outs at the gym. I look forward to being able to run again, very soon.

On one visit, when Dr. Oleston asked about whether I had experienced any improvements that week, I mentioned I was also having issues with hot flashes. At that time, I was experiencing several each night, interrupting my sleep as well as my husband’s sleep. I was also experiencing several each day and had been for about 6 weeks. Dr. Oleston recommended EstroFactors, and although skeptical that a vitamin supplement could help, I was at the time considering hormone replacement, and this seemed preferable to me. Within a week I was only waking up once a night – a huge improvement. Within another week, I was able to sleep through the nights again. Now it’s been almost 10 weeks, and my hot flashes have not returned. I am buying EstroFactors for friends to try!
