Patient: M.A.C. — Condition: Pubic Symphysis Diastasis

"Six years ago I sustained a severe pelvic injury, which caused damage to all the joints, especially the S.I. joints. I had to walk with a walker and then crutches. I was in my thirties and couldn’t go up and down stairs and had to sleep in a recliner. I was treated by an orthopedist who prescribed physical therapy at home, to get me walking again. After returning to the orthopedist nine months later I was told there was little change. Since that time my pelvis has been very unstable and I had bouts of sciatica. My muscles were always sore and my hips were always tired. My hips felt like a solid block of wood in a vise. It was frustrating and at the end of the day I felt like a train wreck. My hips, legs and feet hurt. When sitting or lying down I was restless and uncomfortable. During those six years I tried to see other doctors, but due to the rarity of the injury, most had never dealt with it before. Out of seven doctors, only two had dealt with one other patient with the same condition. The important thing was to gain some stability and relief from the vise-like pressure. In March 2004 I went to another orthopedist who recommended more physical therapy and a brace. The brace provided stability and relieved some of the pressure. The bouts of sciatica subsided. At this point I accepted that this was as good as it was going to get and I’d never be the same."

"Recently, I crossed paths with Dr. Beckley. I wasn’t sure what a chiropractor did but wondered if it could help me. I was always very flexible and when I went to Dr. Beckley for a free consultation, he said he didn’t find that. At the first visit, he stretched the muscles in my back. That night I felt a big difference. I had figured I’d try it once to see what happened and then decide if I’d go back. I was intrigued and decided to go back. After the second visit my sore muscles were relieved and the muscles that should’ve been working were. I felt like a million bucks! At the third appointment I said, "I’d never even hoped to feel this good again." For six years I had been two appointments away from that kind of relief. My hips had felt like a block of wood because I was incredibly stiff and they were locked up. I didn’t realize it until the stiffness was relieved. I was free from the vise! I could "curl up like a cat" again and get comfortable. My family and friends could see the difference in the way I walked. My posture improved greatly and I was sleeping comfortably again. What a chiropractor does is very different from other doctors. They make you feel great, especially your back and neck. I would highly recommend Dr. Beckley for any condition you have, especially if you haven’t gained relief from any other treatment. You’ve got nothing to lose."

Patient: S.B.R. — Condition: Lumbar Sprain/Strain

"On a Sunday afternoon this past June I took a terrible fall while hiking. The visual bumps and bruises didn't hurt as much as my back did. Early Monday morning I called Kim Ong, of Kim's Spa & Nails, to schedule a massage. During our conversation, I mentioned why I felt I needed a massage. She very quickly suggested I see Dr. Matthew Beckley of Beckley Family Chiropractic. She raved about how hands-on he was in his practice and how attentive he was to his patients' needs. Kim suggested I see him before I schedule a massage with her. Now that's a testimony to what she thought of Dr. Beckley and how she runs her business!"

"I called Dr. Beckley and was able to see him the next day. After a very thourough exam and consultation I began treatment. Just as Kim had done with me, I can now testify to his great patient care. After a few weeks of treatment I did get in to Kim's Spa & Nails for a massage. With the help of Kim's Spa & Nails and Beckley Family Chiropractic, my recovery was remarkable. I just ran the Cigna 5K Road Race this past week!"
