Migraine Headaches
I first heard of ChiroCare from my sister-in-law. She had been going for migraines. I had been having migraine headaches for a couple of years and at one point, I was hospitalized for them. I tried many different prescription medicines, massages, heat, ice, and many other things that people talked about for helping my migraines.

I started going not really believing it would help. Dr. Staples was working on me, I think it was my second visit, and asked me if I had been hit in the head with anything. I thought about it and remembered a few years back I was walking down Rte. 201 and somebody threw a disposable saltshaker out the car window. It hit me in the forehead and it was not long after that I started getting migraines. She found a place on my head that was tender to her touch and after a few more sessions, I was doing much better.

Thanks to Dr. Staples I no longer have migraines. I now see her every 4 months just to keep my body aligned and my migraines gone.

Back Pain
My back issues started over 30 years ago when I was a fireman and it had gotten progressively worse. I couldn’t stand the thought of going to a chiropractor that snapped, cracked and wrenched my back, but my wife told me about ChiroCare. I had to go. They use a pen-like device instead of wrenching.

I have been on an intermittent maintenance plan for several years now. I don’t really know if I could continue to do the things I do if I didn’t continue to go to ChiroCare along with regular massage treatments.

Headaches, Neck And Back Pain After Skating Accident
I had a really bad roller skating accident in 1994 and was hospitalized for 6 days. I had a fractured skull and sacrum. I was in a lot of pain with minimal movement in my arms and neck and taking a lot of pain meds. I knew I didn’t want to live that way. I knew there had to be something else and had never tried chiropractic before. I saw Dr. Staples’ picture in the phone book and called to make an appointment. I was leery, but when I left the office the terrible headaches I’d been having for weeks and weeks were gone. I didn’t think I would be able to work as a hairdresser or roller skate again.

Because of chiropractic I was able to reach goals that I didn’t think I’d ever be able to achieve again. I’ve had such positive experiences with chiropractic that I keep coming back for more. I rarely take pain medicine because with chiropractic I don’t have any pain that I did before. I’ve recommended many, many people to come to ChiroCare.

Lower Back Pain And Ankle Pain And Swelling
ChiroCare Center helped me feel young again! Two years ago, my left ankle started to swell and I had lower back pain. The pain would come on quickly and stay for a while. I went to the doctors numerous times. The doctors told me many different reasons of what the problem could have been; none of their solutions helped me!

Friends have suggested for me to see a chiropractor. I started to investigate into it. My insurance company agreed to pay up to 36 visits per year. My first visit to ChiroCare was an evaluation. I couldn’t believe the list of alignments I needed at such a young age.

I have to confess; at first I didn’t think Sybil’s tool (the activator instrument) was going to fix me. After a few weeks, I started to feel better. I went twice a week for a while and then once a week. At one point, I had to go back and do twice a week, again. My pelvic bone was being stubborn! Now, I just go in for maintenance work, once every six weeks. I sound like I am a car (alignments and maintenance work).

My ankle, back and pelvic areas have made some great progress. I feel my age again! Thank you, ChiroCare! I can do the things I love doing, walking, running, hiking and standing on my feet with no pain.

Chronic Back And Neck Issues
I have been going to chiropractors since 1991 for chronic back and neck issues. Chiropractic is the one thing that keeps me stable as many areas of my body go out of alignment on a regular basis.

Sybil was recommended to me by my former chiropractor that became ill. Once I experienced Sybil’s masterful technique, I knew I was in the hands of a master. She has a gift and I often think of her intuitiveness as magic. Her testing techniques are the best I’ve ever experienced, and she can really hone in on the exact places in my body that need attention. My body has become more stable than ever before and I appreciate each session I have at ChiroCare Center.

Back Spasms
I do not exaggerate when I say Sybil saved my life! Even though it’s been over 10 years, I can still remember how horrible it was to spend 2 weeks about every 6 months in bed with people feeding me and wondering if I will ever walk normally again. Every 6 months I would have such awful spasms that it’d seem like; this is it, this is the end. To deal with that kind of fear and pain was horrible.

Here I am many years later and I’m still forever deeply grateful to Sybil for helping me though that mess. It took 5 years working closely with Sybil to turn things around. It’s been so many years that I’ve been spasm free and no longer worried that it will ever happen again. With Sybil’s help, I’m learning how to take care of myself. After 9 different chiropractors since 1983, Sybil was the last and still is the best. I found her in 1998 with a referral from a patient she had who had another horrific story that I could relate to. Sybil changed her life and that gave me hope.

Chronic Back Pain
It was as simple as a bend and a twist while picking a flower out of a bucket that brought me to my knees. The pain was excruciating! I tried different avenues that just didn’t work for me and finally asked to be referred to a chiropractor and voila! I am pain free!

I am now on maintenance care with Dr. Staples and will never stop. I have been with her for 8 plus years and have learned a lot in the process. She has helped me tremendously. I feel very comfortable with her and her staff.

Wrist Pain
I first visited a chiropractor five years ago when I was experiencing migraine headaches. I was certain the migraines were related to my posture, so my physician and I decided I should try chiropractic manipulation before taking prescription drugs. Sure enough my headaches went away within a few visits and haven’t returned in years.

More recently, in November 2009, I began to develop intense pain in my left wrist. This was especially scary for me as a massage therapist, because wrist pain can be career ending. I turned to chiropractic first, based on my previous experience. I decided to try the ChiroCare Center after hearing so many great reviews of Dr. Staples. Within 2 visits, my wrist pain had decreased by about 50%, and after 4-5 visits it was completely gone. In addition to fixing my primary complaint of wrist pain, Dr. Staples has also been able to help various other aches and pains that have cropped up while training to run in my first 10k race.

Now, I visit Dr. Staples for a monthly maintenance visit. I find this keeps my writs pain at ease, decreases other discomforts associated with running, and gives me a greater sense of body awareness. I truly believe in chiropractic work and highly recommend the ChiroCare Center.

Chronic Back Pain
Chiropractic care became part of my life in 1998. After several years of chronic back pain I decided to consult Dr. Staples to see if there was something she could do or recommend. In my line of work, as well as many other peoples, you don’t get the option to stay home because your back hurts or the aches and pains of just getting older. The option that I chose was to educate myself on things that I could do to strengthen my back as well as different stretches that you can do that will help you in the everyday activities that we all enjoy.

Dr. Staples can give you the knowledge to help you with your back pain. There is no quick fix on getting rid of your back pain, but there are a lot of options you can do to prevent back pain and a lot of them don’t cost as much as you think. I hear a lot of people tell me once you start going to a chiropractor you’ll have to go forever. I say, “Is that such a bad thing?” We are all going to be working forever so why suffer with back pain forever. I am a firm believer in going to the chiropractor and my back must be too because it doesn’t hurt me like it use to.

Chronic Shoulder Pain
I first visited Dr. Staples about 10 years ago with chronic shoulder pain that felt like I as having a heart attack. Visits with my MD produced only pain medications and didn’t get rid of what was causing the pain. On my first chiropractic visit I felt immediate relief and asked myself WHY did I wait so long to give this a try? Over the years I continue to visit my chiropractor on a regular basis. Even though it’s been 10 years, I am always so pleasantly pleased when I get relief from pain, that at times, prevents me from living life to the fullest. I highly recommend chiropractic treatment to all my friends and family. Why take pain pills when a visit to the chiropractor gets rid of the pain!
