Doug Harkey, from Dubuque Iowa, whose left eye suddenly stopped working 12 years ago, thought he was making a routine visit to his chiropractor. After his chiropractic adjustment, his blind eye started to water for about 45 minutes. This made his good eye water also. When he wiped his good eye he noticed he could partially see out of his blind eye.
The chiropractor told him that the treatments to his spine helped get his nervous system to function better and that may have restored his vision.
Doug's vision is now nearly perfect in his "blind" eye, however he does wear glasses. He has been getting used to the new depth perception that he hasn't had for the last 12 years.

Various Testimonials
Fibromyalgia
I was involved in a car accident on March 17th, 1997. I was stopped in traffic when I was hit from behind at 35 mph. I was under Doctor's care and off of work for almost 2 years. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and taking 26 pain pills a day. I was in a fog, slept all the time and the bills were piling up. A friend told me about the Doctor and I decided I had to try something to get my life back. It took about 2 months of twice weekly visits and he finally got my shoulders and rib area to move where I was back in alignment. I was given nutrients and I no longer take any prescription drugs. I still see him on an as needed basis to keep everything in good working order and I am very thankful that I gave them a try because it changed my life.

Hip Pain
Several years ago I was involved in a car collision. I began seeing Dr. Dan shortly afterwards for the injuries I sustained to my neck, low back and hip. It was amazing how much better I felt within a short period of time. The technique he uses to find the source of the pain is amazing and his approach to chiropractic treatments is totally different than any I’ve had before. No more twisting on the neck and thrusting on the back. His adjustments are virtually pain free. I am convinced that his treatments helped me to heal much quicker.

Leg Pain
There are so many wonderful things that have happened to me since working with the Doctor for my Arthritis. After the first treatment my left leg was so much less painful and I was able to go up steps without pulling myself up with the banister, and it keeps getting better. I have had five treatments to date, and my legs and arms are so much better. I had been to an Orthopedic Surgeon and nothing happened after weeks of therapy. The right leg was somewhat painful but not like the left leg. Now the right leg gives me little or no problem. Now, thanks to the Doctor, I have no worries about getting up, using my legs, and walking up and down stairs. All this after five visits, I wonder how great I will feel after 10 or 15 visits?
I can’t thank him enough for giving my life back to me.

Low Back Pain
I have suffered from low back problems and arthritis for many years. And in those many years, I have run the gamut of care and treatment, from orthopedic to chiropractic to physical therapy to acupuncture. It wasn't until I began receiving treatment that I felt there was hope. To start, the Doctor was thorough and honest in assessing my chronic condition. He then put together a results-oriented, multi-layered treatment program that has offered me both immediate relief and long-term promise. I also have seen the results in the treatment of injuries and in the enhancement of strength and flexibility. He can make a difference in your health and wellbeing. Not only is the Doctor skillful and professional in his care, he is genuine and considerate. I have never been more confident or more comfortable in someone's care.

Your Neck Muscles Get Fat After a Whiplash Injury
A 2008 study compared T-1 weighted MRI images of subjects with whiplash associated disorders and healthy controls. The authors found a higher level of fat within all extensor muscles in the neck of the whiplash group. The whiplash group also had reduced pressure pain thresholds and reduced hot/cold pain thresholds. (This may explain why people who have had previous whiplash injuries can develop chronic pain and can easily re-injure themselves.)
They hypothesize that the fatty infiltrate may be due to nerve damage and/or the inflammatory response with subsequent disuse of the neck muscles after the whiplash injury.
They would like to study this more to see what treatment would be best for whiplash and if the treatment would reduce the fatty deposits. The degree of fat may also be useful in determining if the patient will have good results or not.

Vitamin C May Help You Avoid Diabetes!
Vitamin C is good for your heart and skin but a recent article in Men's Health magazine showed that Vitamin C may also help reduce the onset of Diabetes. In the study, participants who ate 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day were 62% less likely to develope diabetes than those who consumed 3 servings.
The likely reason is that Vitamin C helps reduce oxidative stress on the body. Oxidative stress can disrupt your body's ability to process carbs which leads to high blood sugar levels. So to reduce your chances of developing Diabetes, stock up on citrus fruits, red peppers, strawberries, tomatoes and broccoli.
