Success Stories

I became a patient at Kambeitz Chiropractic in April 2007.  I have always suffered with severe sciatic nerve pain and degenerative disc problems in my neck and spine for the last 25+ years due to a lifetime enjoyment of dirt bikes and football.  Many years ago I ruptured the L4/L5 disc in my spine and have never fully recovered.  I lacked full mobility in my back and neck, and had not had a restful night sleep in over 25 years.  This contributed to irritability, inability to concentrate, and frustration.  I have seen many specialists over the years, Orthopedists and physical therapists only being the most recent, and have used many prescription drugs to attempt relief.  Painkillers such as Percodan and Vicodin only gave minimal relief and muscle relaxers gave less. 

My eldest daughter was a patient of Kambeitz Chiropractic and had been trying to get me to try it for awhile.  I was skeptical at first, having attempted so many things to rid myself of the pain.  Eventually she won the argument, and made a appointment for me.  I consider myself a man of few words, but I must say that this treatment has helped me far more than I ever thought it could.  I have relief that I haven't experienced in years, and my ability to sleep is slowly getting better as well.  I truly thank Dr. Kambeitz, Dr. Anderson, and the staff for providing me with natural pain relief that I can count on.

I first heard of Kambeitz Chiropractic Health and Wellness Center from my partner Ninette, who attended a health fair given at her place of employment.  She suggested I try Chiropractic to address my issue of having severe migraines.  Understand, at this point I was willing to try anything.  I was getting migraines almost everyday and didn't have anything to lose.  I have never heard of treatment of migraines with chiropractic therapy, but the pain was so bad that I made an appointment.

After scheduling the first visit back in March 2007, and meeting with Dr.'s Jim and Mandi, I left the treatment and went home.  I received a migraine immediately, and knew then we were on to something.  I continued treatment over a period of weeks, and gradually the migraines were reduced in frequency.  I've gone stretches where I hadn't had a migraine in 9 weeks!!  Not bad considering I was getting them daily when I first started seeing the Dr.'s.

At this point i'm functioning normally, less not being able to enjoy a glass of red wine.  I'm almost completely migraine free.  I have to thank the team at Kambeitz Chiropractic!!

My first visit to seek chiropractic care was in February of 2005.  At the time, I had been having pain and sciatica.  Though I had experienced this in the past, a couple of times, this time it lasted for a much longer period of time, two or three months, and nothing seemed to give relief.  As a skier, in the midst of ski season, I was unable to enjoy the sport for more than a short period of time on the mountain.  After trying over the counter medications, hot soaks, massage, etc. I wasn't getting much relief.  My massage therapist strongly recommended that I seek chiropractic care from Dr. Jim Kambeitz.  After a few weeks of treatment, the sciatica became less and less painful and finally was gone.  There was a brief relapse after a minor fall, but again, after a few treatments I was relieved of pain.

In addition to relief of sciatic pain, the migraine headaches, I had experienced for years also stopped.  I had not known that they could be helped with chiropractic care.  Though I can't remember exactly when the migraines were no longer happening, after a while of chiropractic treatment, I realized that they were no longer interfering with my life.

I have definitely been able to enjoy a more active, pain-free life since receiving chiropractic care.  With three young grandchildren, that is very important to me!!

Back cracking, toe pulling and knee twisting were actions not included in my top ten healthcare practices.  That is, until I met Dr. Kambeitz.  I am a 51 year old racquetball fanatic, and as the saying goes, "the old gray mare ain't what she used to be!"  Thanks to Dr. Kambeitz, and his miraculous skills, my knees and back continue to give me the strength and support to play the game I love.  Beyond his chiropractic skills, Dr. Kambeitz is a compassionate and extremely caring person and a man that I consider my friend.

For several months I had suffered with a stiff neck accompanied by pain and tingling in my right hand.  The pain and numbness in my hand would wake me at night and ease slightly when I walked around.  Mornings would not be much better and though out the day I would experience a feeling of my hand falling asleep.

I began seeing Dr. Kambeitz in August of 2000.  The doctor took an x-ray and we started adjustments on my neck, back, and hand.  With each adjustment the numbness subsided.  It is a tremendous feeling not to wake in the middle of the night in pain.  I am especially pleased not to have a sore stiff neck.  After only a few visits I started feeling relaxed and more physically balanced.  My experience with Dr. Kambeitz and chiropractic has been a pleasant one.  The doctor and his staff are caring and professional.

As soon as our son Max could speak, he would complain about his head hurting.  We suspect it had been hurting since he was an infant, because of the groaning sounds he made in his sleep.

By the time Max was four years old, the headaches became so frequent, he stopped wanting to play with his toys and no longer cared to go outside.  If he wasn't sleeping, he was lying down, and often crying.  We talked to his pediatrician many times, as well as other doctors in the same office.  Early on, they suspected ear infections, sinus problems, etc.  When the headaches became more frequent, the suspected culprit became allergies.  We changed his diet a few times to see if there were any changes, but there never were.  We began to fear the worst and considered an MRI or CAT scan.  This terrified us because of what we might find out about our son, and because we would not be able to pay for that kind of testing.

One day while contemplating what to do, I remembered how a chiropractor helped me with problems I had been having in my arm a few years prior.  I made an appointment with Dr. Jim Kambeitz, who found that Max had a "subluxation in his C5 verebrae" and it was causing stress on his nervous system.  After the first visit, we started to see our son's personality come back.  By the fourth visit, he was virtually back to normal.  He had gone from headaches daily to none at all.

Dr. Kambeitz gave us our happy, playful son back, and saved us from what likely would have been years of tests, a great deal of anguish, and thousands of dollars.

Doctor Kambeitz:

     Just a note of thanks and a hopeful message to others who m ay find themselves in my situation.

     In June of 2007 I had rotator cuff surgery to correct multiple problems in my shoulder that apparently had been building for some time. The surgery was quite successful, and of course I was in a sling for the reqquisite 6 weeks. About a month after the surgery, I began to experience numbness and pain along my arm. Apparently having my arm in a sling for that amount of irritated the nerves coming out of my spine at the neck, and physical therapy did not help. My surgeon did an MRI on my neck and a herniated disc was discovered (cervical- 6/7). I had never experienced a problem in that area before. So I was sent to a spine surgeon who did tests and said that woithout surgery on my spine, the symptoms I was experiencing would be permanent and probably get worse. Well when an extremely reputable surgeon says you need surgery, you of course listen. So I scheduled surgery, which was to entail fusion, a cadaver bone implant and a plate holding everything in place.

About five days before surgery, I was talking with a client and mentioned my upcoming surgery, and his immediate response was "don't do it - I had the same thing and my chiropractor took care of it."  He strongly recommended Kambeitz Chiropractic.  Although skeptical, I left a message for Dr. Kambeitz, who called me back within an hour and said you need to postpone your surgery and get in here.  Which I did.

Dr. K took x-rays and said in unequivocal language:  "I can fix you."  To make a long story short, his adjustments and other therapy have made me symptom-free.  No numbness, no pain, almost back to 100%, and no surgery on the horizon.  I have my client to thank for telling me about Kambeitz Chiropractic, and Jim to thank for doing exactly what he said he would - fix me so surgery wouldn't be necessary.

Sincerely,

William E. Dawn
