I was first introduced to Main Street Chiropractic through David Bruno, in April after I suffered a head on collision.  Just as the process of my healing was well on its way, I was subsequently involved in a second car collision.  

Dr. Ian has been able to help me through a very painful time in my life, for which I am truly grateful.  He has helped me understand the importance of having a healthy spine.  Through this healing process I have been able to sleep through the night and improve my running time.  It has amazed me that as the health of my spine improves so does my life.  As Dr. Ian likes to say, "The power has been turned on". I am truly a believer.

It is always a wonderful experience every time I visit the office.  I am always happily greeted by Amy and look forward to our social chats as I wobble.  Dr Ian and Amy are also very delighted when my dog pays a visit.

 Thanks to Dr. Ian and Amy for everything they have done to help me in my healing processes.  Life without pain is the only way to truly live.

I go to the chiropractor on Monday & Wednesday,

on the table is where I lay.

Dr. Ian is the best,

He really makes my body feel complete wellness and rest.

When my body feels like it needs to crack,

The doctor uses manipulation to adjust my back.

 Since I work a lot, I don't get a lot of sleep,

Getting chiropractic adjustments has helped my body

much more than counting sheep.

I have never felt better, I haven't gotten sick,

Coming to this office is definitely the best pick.

I have been a patient in this office for over a year,

If I am in pain the doctor is ALWAYS there.

I am so excited to be the patient of the month of may,

I hope you get to be as well one day.         C. Leibowitz, May 2008

I had always veiwed a chiropractor as a doctor you went to for rehabilitation after you suffered a back injury. I soon discovered that there was a whole other side of chiropractic care, the wellness approch. It immediately made perfect sense to me that a holistic perspective to maintaining a helathy well- being should include chiropractic care. I think that the body is designed to heal itself naturally, but our environemnt interfers with that process.  Besides eating well and exercising, we need to make sure all of our internal systems are running optimally, which is just what the wellness plan seeks to ensure.  A healthly spine means a healthy body and mind.  And most importantly, healthy spirit.

This, I beleive is the same whole health philosophy that permeates Main Street Chiropractor.

I had received chiropractic care for years prior- but never to this degree of quality or “whole health.”I felt immediately welcomed into this office, and began to feel a part of an exciting practice.After only a few visits- my chiropractic care became a part of my physical and mental well-being.
My days off are typically at the gym, or playing outside so I was desperate for some physical structuring.I knew my body was doing its self-healing when I’d find my self at work, adjusting my positioning and relaxing into somethingchallenging. Chiropractic has not only increased my physical functioning but alsoheightened my mental awareness of my body.
    My yearly physical was last week.My medical Primary Care Physician went through a list of past complaints- from hives, to hip pain, frequent headaches, and hot flashes- I WAS FREE from all.
     The staff’s own belief in potential and health has helped me to redefine my own. I continue to be thankful for this entire experience and look forward to my maintenance …!!                                                                                                   ~G. Thompson

It was the first day of my camping trip celebrating my first anniversary.I had just driven 8 hours and then hauled heavy camping equipment a mile up to the rocky cliffs overlooking the bay where I was going to be staying for the next week with my husband.We were in total remote wilderness.Five miles back down the road we had passed a small mom and pop gas station combo grocery store.Other than that, we were alone.When I attempted to move the oversized picnic table on our campsite, my lower back went out on me.Suddenly, and totally unexpectedly, I couldn’t move.I was frozen with a searing pain in my back.

I spent the next five days sleeping on the ground on a ½ inch thick air mattress with my husband diligently rubbing icy hot cream into my back.Bless that mom and pop store!  I continued doing all the things we had planned for the week, riding my bike along the coast line, hiking to get firewood, cooking around camp.  I looked like a twisted non-human form while doing all this because I was completely bent in half.  My husband became my body, helping me in and out of chairs, rolling me onto my sleeping mat, and guiding me down steep trails.  I had lost 75 percent of my mobility but yet I stayed on.  How often does one get to celebrate their first anniversary in an amazing ocean-side wonder of the world?
    The process revealed how misaligned I had been.  It has been almost a year since I began my chiropractic care and I feel great.  I have lots of energy and my back is healthy.  I didn’t get a flu shot this year and I didn’t get the flu.  I only got one cold in the spring and it was related to pine pollen, not because I was really ‘sick.’ I’ve met some very wonderful and loving people through this office.  I feel like the universe set me up to join this atmosphere through the guise of an injury in my back.
    I am grateful to have had this experience because it has taught me so much about how I handle my health and healing.  I have reached the ‘wellness care’ part of my care plan for my back but it doesn’t mean the end.I will continue to come in once a week for my adjustments to keep me healthy and strong. And this year, on my anniversary, I have a hunch that my body will be in better shape to handle all that I have planned!                                                                                                   ~L.

My Chiropractic Experience
    I was pretty much influenced into seeking chiropractic care by an info meeting that was given in the summer of ’06. The topics that were discussed there caught my interests and got me thinking I could possible get off my “Meds”? … Really? Because I wasn’t benefiting as much from my meds as I was months before. I thought that maybe I could benefit from spinal treatment since anxiety is connected to the nervous system; I thought I’d give it a try.
Even though the anxiety kept me up at night it wasn’t the only thing bugging me. When I was little I started hearing “the voices” or auditory hallucinations along with visual hallucinations. These hallucinations scared me BIG time, which lead into me beginning to take medication. I took the same meds for about 3 years – starting in the third year the side effects were taking over…and driving me crazy – 24/7. At that time, I was taking 7 pills a night.
    Before my mom told me about it, I had no idea that there was such a thing as chiropractic treatments. When she did tell me about it, I thought it sounded very awkward (no offence people). And now look at me…I started getting treatments in August ’06, and by the end of September/beginning of October – I got off the meds completely!!!!! And now I feel so free and cheerful.
    Like I said before, I have completely gotten off my meds and believe I won’t need any more anti-depressants, anti-anxiety meds for the rest of my life. I feel as though my body has been liberated…
