"I injured my back in a CAR ACCIDENT. I had whiplash, a ruptured disc, and my spine was out of alignment resulting in neck stiffness and pain, upper and lower back pain, and loss of sleep. It had been one year and it was very severe pain. I had tried electrical stimulation that temporarily relieved the immediate pain, but did not remove the pain or problems. My lawyer recommended chiropractic care although I doubted it would help. Dr. Norman was very professional, well educated in chiropractic practice and related well to people. He recommended I perform exercises taught at a workshop and use the Posture Pump daily. The pain went away and I feel stronger and more alert. I believe there are two types of chiropractors: 1) who deal with the immediate pain, and 2) who deal with the root cause of the problem. The second one I feel is the more effective of the two."

"I consulted Dr. Norman for MIGRAINE HEADACHES. It was a sharp deep pain in my right temple and down the whole right side of the head to behind the ear. I've had the migraines since I was about eight years old. The pain was very bad, sometimes it would make me cry. I had tried Imitrex and other medications that had bad side effects. I did have some doubts that chiropractic would help but I knew it couldn't hurt to try. Dr. Norman recommended I come in for adjustments and a few simple exercises. My results are I'm much better. I haven't had one migraine since. I feel great!"

"I had severe pain even when lying down. It hurt to walk. I couldn't sit, and couldn't get up if I did. The pain started in the right hip and went down the right leg so painfully I couldn't move. There was no relief. I thought I would go crazy, nights were the worst. I spent numerous nights, about two weeks, without sleep, moaning and groaning. When I first had the attack I saw my medical doctor. He gave me a shot at the source of the pain in the mid-hip, pills to relieve the swelling of the nerve, and a pain prescription which did no good. The pain reliever seemed to have no effect that I could see as the pain remained at the same level. After observing the ten days of bed rest that my medical doctor prescribed with no relief my neighbor thought I should see what Dr. Norman could do. I felt I would be in pain forever as I had no relief in the ten days since seeing the first doctor. Dr. Norman was very professional and detailed. He explained the problem and what it would take to correct it. The office staff was also very friendly. After x-rays he found the problem - two discs out of alignment which were PINCHING THE SCIATIC NERVE. We set up a schedule for adjustments. Now I feel I would still be a cripple had I not seen Dr. Norman."

"For years I had very bad pain in my LOWER BACK, PAIN ON THE SIDES OF MY NECK, headaches, and numbness in my hands and fingers. It caused a loss of sleep, and decreased my activity and work level. Previously I had been to the hospital and a neurologist with no results. On occasion I was taking Aleve and Voltaren. I had doubts that chiropractic would help me but it was my last resort. Dr. Norman recommended good posture, and special exercises with consistent visits. After two weeks with daily visits my back and neck are perfect. I have no headaches, and more energy. For some reason I feel taller and my attitude is much more positive. I'm very pleased."

"FIBROMYALGIA caused almost constant severe pain in my neck and back with numbness and tingling in my arms and hands, and headaches. I had previously taken pain killers that didn't always help the pain, and didn't get at the cause of the pain. I tried supplements (shark cartilage, etc.) that did not help. When a friend was helped by chiropractic I decided to try it because I was in severe pain that affected my daily life. Dr. Norman and his staff were very friendly, caring people and very concerned with the patients welfare. Dr. Norman recommended chiropractic care and to do exercises at home. I now have fewer bouts of severe pain and am getting more mobility. I am beginning to get my life back through Dr. Norman's care. My life belonged to the pain before I started seeing Dr. Norman."

"For eight years I had lower back pain that went to the buttocks and down the back of the legs from a DISC INJURY. The pain was always there but was crippling at times. I had tried anti-inflammatory and pain killing drugs. I took Darvocet almost every night to get rest. I had doubts chiropractic would help me but decided to try it on a friend's advice. Dr. Norman's office has a friendly, open atmosphere. It is less formal than a medical doctor's office. Dr. Norman recommended visits to his office and daily exercises. The pain gradually subsided after about a month and was totally gone after three months. After years of suffering I feel I have a new life."

"I had "kinks" in my LOWER BACK and occasional spasms. The "kinks" were not debilitating but the spasms made movement extremely difficult. I had attempted to treat myself with various back exercises. A friend recommended I try chiropractic although I had doubts it would help. Dr. Norman's office was professional and well equipped and he was professional and optimistic. He recommended a plan coupled with a brief daily exercise routine. My results have been exceptional. My spine was clearly misaligned in the "before" x-ray and near perfect in the final x-ray. My wife is also a patient for lower back pain. She has less pain and seems to have more energy. I think chiropractic is a powerful technique for assisting in the healing process. I recommend it to everyone."

"For years I had chronic low back pain and I couldn't turn my head to the right but half way and the left only one forth. I also had CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME in both wrists. For months my hands were always falling asleep and I couldn't squeeze them or make a fist. I had tried traction, pain pills, and muscle relaxers. Friends and clients led me to try chiropractic. I was leery at first but Dr. Norman is very gentle, compassionate, caring, and concerned. My hands were better within two weeks. My husband is also a chiropractic patient. He had back pain, even after back surgery, but now is almost pain free. I have not been sick in the last year since I've been coming to Dr. Norman."

"I had severe left LOWER BACK PAIN and spasms for one week prior to seeing Dr. Norman, but the condition had existed off and on for approximately twenty years. The pain was intense and disabling. I had seen three orthopedic medical doctors, two physical therapists, and two chiropractors who all provided some degree of temporary relief. I was taking motrin and darvocet. I was concerned about taking these but they were necessary for me to function at all. When I couldn't even get out of bed, I knew I had to do something. The staff and Dr. Norman are very professional. Dr. Norman is very knowledgeable and motivated to help his patients. He advised treatments, cold packs to the injured area, and several exercises to do at home. After three weeks I felt 90% back to normal. After four weeks I am on my normal routine. I would recommend chiropractic to anyone. I have great hope that my years of back trouble are over."

"For six months I had severe LOWER BACK PAIN and stiffness. I could hardly walk in the early morning. I decided to try chiropractic because I would not consider surgery, although I was somewhat skeptical it would help. I like Dr. Norman's aggressive approach on the well-being of his patients. I have the feeling that he really cares. Dr. Norman recommended exercises and sticking with his program. It worked. I have no back pain, I sleep better and generally feel better. For others who are sick, suffering, or in pain, by all means, give it a try. I plan on staying on the program that Dr. Norman has prescribed."

"For seven to eight years I had sore muscles and continous pain in my UPPER AND LOWER BACK. Dr. Norman and his staff are very professional. Dr. Norman is very up on technology and was able to correctly diagnose my condition. I had excellent results with absolutely no more pain. Relief. Hats off to him, nobody else could correct the problem. My wife is also a chiropractic patient for lower back pain. It has also helped her, she feels great. To others who are in pain, please let Dr. Norman evaluate you and correct the problem. I will always go to Dr. Norman. I am very pleased to have been a patient of Dr. Norman's."

"I knew that I had DEGENERATIVE DISCS and that I had injured my tailbone more than once. I had gone to medical doctors and had no relief. I could not walk far because of severe pain in the lower back, hip and groin area. I had this bad for about 4 years and it was getting much worse. I thought I needed hip replacement. I came into this treatment with an open mind. I wanted relief and answers, I got them both. I am very pleased, no pain. The results have been wonderful. I am a believer, it has worked for me. I am sick less, less allergies and sinus problems, in general much better. Thank you Dr. Norman!"

"For years I had INSOMNIA, inability to sleep for hours each night, and therefore irritability. Sleeping pills didn't work and so I decided to try chiropractic after my husband's frequent suggestions. Dr. Norman recommended exercises and adjustments. Immediately I slept and have since with no insomnia. Great!"
