Virginia: Kidneys Failing due to Multiple Drugs for Multiple Conditions

I was getting treated for high blood pressure, diabetes, and arthritis with severe knee pain, for which I took medication that had caused kidney deterioration.  All of these problems had greatly interfered with my daily routine.  I noticed improvement within my first week of care.  I have more energy, more flexibility and I am now falling asleep faster and staying asleep, which I have not done in years!!!  I have never felt better during all the hours of flying and layovers!  I was able to take walks, even on hills, with my grandson and to "shop ‘til you drop” with my daughter.  There was little or no knee and back pain and lots more stamina.  My kidney function is almost back to fully normal.  My kidneys are healing (and I had been told by the kidney specialist that kidneys don't heal) after functioning at only a 50% level.

8 Years Later = Normal Kidneys, Normal Liver function and 100% Health.  Virginia is now participating in a Bowling League.  

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Alice: Insomnia

For two years I suffered from insomnia. I would either go to bed and toss and turn for hours or I would go right to sleep for 30-45 minutes, then be up for most of the night.  My doctor had me try sleepy time tea, meltonin, and valerian root.  Nothing worked! He finally prescribed Ambien CR.  It worked but was expensive and I worried about becoming addicted to a prescription sleep-aid.

The night after my first adjustment I slept well but wasn’t ready to believe it was because of being adjusted.  After sleeping well for a while, I told Dr.Tressler that he must be doing something right! It’s been 2 months now and I have had no sleep problems since coming to Dr. Tressler.

Jim & Kathy: "Bugs crawling under his skin" & Insomnia

 “…, if he wasn’t married,

                                                         I would Kiss him!”

When Kathy came in with her husband, Jim, to see how chiropractic care can help him, she never realized how important a healthy spine is.

Jim had years of pain, tingling and feeling of “bugs crawling under his skin” in his arms and hands.  We found spinal bones out of place, subluxations, causing the nerve pressure.

When Kathy saw his x-rays and understood how we can help, she too had an exam.  Her neck was just as bad.  Little did I know that she hasn’t slept through the night in over 32 years!!!

After just 2 adjustments, she slept completely through the night.  Can you imagine how she must have felt?! WOW!  And Jim’s tingling has dramatically decreased because the pressure was released and life is flowing through his body.

 So, when Kathy and Jim came in for their next adjustment, I hear this Loud and Happy women at the front desk saying… “Where is Dr. Tressler, if he wasn’t married, I would Kiss him!”  I looked out with some question wondering what was going on…

          …well, after I hear the news, I was thrilled.  Instead of a kiss, I hugged her! It has been over a month and now Kathy is in such a deep sleep, she is dreaming nearly every night.  Her energy is through the roof… which drives Jim nuts, (he is more laid back and quiet), while Kathy is singing and dancing all day long.

Sound familiar in your life?

…we can help.  Millions are suffering from sleep apnea, nerve pain, numbness and chronic health problems.  

Drugs are NOT the answer.

Abigail: Amblyopia (poor vision)

I had an eye problem (amblyopia). At age 8 the eye doctor wasn’t very hopeful that there could be change by patching my good eye. My parents brought me here. The Chiropractor said the subluxation in my neck could very well be part of the problem.

After 6 months my 20/200 vision in my right eye is NOW 20/25 and NO MORE PATCH! We believe the patch, Chiropractic care and prayer has helped. I AM HAPPY!

Sydney Tressler: Cross-eyed

Having five children, I have had many experiences with health related issues to deal with, understand and overcome. One of the most interesting of all my stories is when my fourth daughter, Sydney, was born. Sydney, now approaching 4 years old, was born at home with our midwife with no complications. But within hours after birth we noticed her right eye was drawing towards the middle appearing cross-eyed.

I had already checked her for subluxation minutes after birth and all appeared well. So I began investigating other areas to explain why her eye was still crossed. I found her right cranial bones had shifted out of position (due to the birth process) and were fixated. Newborns cranial bones are movable to allow the cranium to go through the birth canal easier. There are soft spots, the sutures, that allow this to happen. I gently began to adjust (slide) the cranial bone by very gently stroking this locked cranial bone to the right position, and "BAM", her eye sprung back like it was attached to a rubber band. I continued this for eight straight days, each day it kept improving. After eight days it was fixed. I have never seen anything this traumatic in a child in all my years of practice. Birth trauma can occur in many ways and all children need to be examined before permanent subluxation and damage occurs.

Sydney actually had strabismus, not a lazy eye. Strabismus is when an eye is weak and crosses to the middle. When an eye is crossed, the child gets a different picture from each eye. The child’s brain blocks out the picture from the weaker eye. If the eye is not fixed when a child is young (under six is the critical stage), the child’s brain will always ignore the pictures from the weak eye! The first few years of life are critical for proper neurological development which develops a child mentally, physically and behaviorally.

So a crossed-eye could lead to developmental weakness and less than 100% development of language, hand/eye coordination, mental confusion and just less than their God-given potential. Having learned this information, I knew it was crucial for Sydney to have "normal" eyes. What was in her future? An eye patch, hours of therapy, special glasses or even surgery? All of these may have to be considered, but Thank God, her eye returned to normal. We work with one of the top specialists in the area, Dr. Hans Lessman, who with the latest technology helps restore these eye problems naturally without surgery. His work is magnificent and his results are even better. If you have a child with a weak or cross-eye, or even know someone, have a proper chiropractic exam immediately and visit Dr. Lessman to have this problem resolved now before it becomes too late.

Darnell: Severe Neck Pain & Limited Mobility

Paul: Unbearable Headaches

Funk Family: Chronic Ear Infections

“…suffering from chronic ear infections since he was four months old.” 

Our son, Ethan, was seven months old and had been suffering from chronic ear infections since he was four months old.  Some friends from our church encouraged us to bring Ethan to Dr. Tressler, but my husband, Ken, has some reservations.  We continued to take him to the doctor and he was given antibiotics at every visit.  The doctor recommended we have tubes put in Ethan’s ears.  We went to a consultation with an ENT to discuss the tubes.  After hearing we would have to sign a waiver I said No Way!  I told my husband that there was no compromising on the matter and that Ethan was going to see Dr. Tressler. 

Within a month the fluid in Ethan’s ear drained naturally!  Our entire family including our two daughters, Katelyn, 3, Melodie, 2, my mother and my husband now all see Dr. Tressler on a weekly basis.  There is no longer any doubt in my husband’s mind that when the body is in alignment it can and will take better care of itself.  I’m looking forward to Dr. Tressler helping to relieve Ethan and I of our asthma symptoms as well as to help Katelyn with her vision. 

Jenna W.: Headaches, Chronic Fatigue, Jaw Pain, Stomach Pain...and more!

Dr. Tressler gave me my life back!

My name is Jenna and I am not crazy.  Despite all the doctors that told me my symptoms were in my head, or that I was over-reacting, or a hypochondriac, I am not crazy.  I have had health problems since I was a little girl.  But, I didn’t know how to get better until I brought my mother to see Dr. Tressler for her neuropathy.  When he showed us her x-rays and started explaining how problems in the neck could affect the whole body, especially if you have a bad reverse curve and a jammed occiput.  I started to have hope! 

I had constant headaches and was taking so much Aleve - (8-12 a day!)- that I thought I would hurt my stomach.  I was achy and tired all the time.  I had to drink 5-6 cups of coffee or pop a day just to stay upright.  I had severe pain in my jaw.  I got every cold and flu that went around and I would be sick 3 times longer than other people.  I didn’t digest anything – most foods hurt my stomach and I was always hungry.  I got light headed and dizzy a lot and the fatigue was unbearable.  I was 25 years old and felt like I was 125!  I thought I could never have children because my body was so sick and I was so weak. 

Dr. Tressler treated me like a person who needed help.  It wasn’t my fault, but it was my choice whether or not I would take the steps to get well.  He worked with my neck and helped me with nutrition to speed my progress along.  This cold and flu season I haven’t gotten sick once(even though I work with sick patients everyday)!  I’m working out everyday– an hour of cardio and lifting weights.  Only two years ago, just going to work made me so tired I wanted to lie down and cry!  But now I can workout in the morning, go to work, and clean my house when I get home!  I don’t have the aches and pains.  I feel like I’m in control of my own body.  I’m not trapped in a prison cell of sickness! 

But what I can’t thank Dr. Tressler for enough is that I can finally digest food.  After 15 years of nausea, intense hunger problems, gall bladder problems, and all kinds of digestive problems, I can finally digest what I eat.  I’m never hungry because I eat the healthy foods Dr. Tressler taught me about and I finally digest them!  I feel young and strong and like I can take on the world!

Michelle: Severe Digestive Problems, Temporary Blindness

Before I started working for Dr. Tressler I had severe digestive problems since the beginning of high school.  I was missing lots of school and was just miserable.  I had every test under the sun done trying to figure out what the problem was.  The doctors finally came to the conclusion that I had IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). They put me on medication and said to take it whenever I felt the terrible pains I would get.  They gave me no hope and basically said that I would just have to deal with it.  After about 3-4 months of getting adjusted regularly I started to notice that I wasn’t taking my medication as much.  I got to the point where I didn’t need it at all and I threw it in the garbage.

I also had an issue with my eyes where they would temporarily go blank.  I had instances where I would be driving down the road and instantly it was like there was a cloud infront of my eyes.  I would have to pull over due to not being able to see.  Talk about scary!  Sometimes it would last a few minutes and sometimes it would last up to 30+ minutes.  This would happen at least once a week, sometimes more.  A couple of times it happened at work so I would get adjusted right away.  Almost immediately following the adjustment it would go away and I could see perfectly fine.  It has been about 2 months since this has cleared up and has no longer been an issue for me.  

Lexi: Severe Headaches

My name is Lexi and I am 14 years old.  I came to Dr. Tressler 2 ½ months ago for severe headaches. My head, neck and back were in a lot of pain. I am a gymnast so that is a very key part of my body to be able to do back flips and lots of other things.

My top vertebrae was at a 1-degree angle but it slowly started to readjust.  I am finally starting to get an arch in my neck.  I no longer have headaches and I used to get them every day. They were bad and hurt a whole lot! I took 2 ibuprofen every morning when I got up. I no longer take the ibuprofen or any painkillers. I feel great and I will keep coming until I am 100% better.

Kathleen: A bottle of Tylenol a Month!

Michele: Neck & Shoulder pain...but NO MORE HYPERTENSION!

My association with Dr. Tressler began about one month ago when I sought his help for pain in my upper shoulders and increased stiffness in my neck. After my exam, I was shown how my neck problem, if not corrected could escalate into other health issues involving blood pressure, heart and lungs. Since I was already taking prescription medications to control my high blood pressure, I felt that I was on the road to more serious health concerns. I never really associated my lifelong neck issues with my hypertension.

When my primary care physician told me that if I was able to lose some weight, I might be able to bring my blood pressure down to a normal level and that one day I may possibly no longer need the blood pressure medications I was thrilled. However, any weight loss I experienced seemed to have little effect on my blood pressure. Even though I did not like taking the medications and experiencing the side effects, they did seem to keep my blood pressure within the normal range. Years passed and I felt that my dream of ever living healthy and medication free would never be realized.

As I began my treatment with Dr. Tressler, it was my hope that the pain in my neck and shoulders would decrease. I never thought much about the effects on my hypertension. After the first visit, I felt mobility in my neck and relief in my shoulders far beyond my expectations. I was delighted to see that I could back my car out of a parking space without turning my entire body to check for traffic!

Today I had a scheduled physical with my primary care physician and was informed that my blood pressure was a shocking 96/60! Although my weight was lower by 6 pounds, I have never noticed such a drop in my blood pressure when I lost weight before. I can only conclude that my treatments with Dr. Tressler have had a very positive effect on my hypertension as well as my neck and shoulders.

I must add that after years of needless suffering with neck and shoulder pain as well as high blood pressure, I never really expected to see results so quickly. In the brief time I have been under treatment with Dr. Tressler, I truthfully feel so much better. Finally, I have to thank Dr. Tressler, Wendy and Staff for their friendly encouragement and look forward to the fulfillment of my dream of better health!

Ben: GERD, Gastritis and Esophagitis

When I first came to Dr. Tressler’s I had severe GERD and Gastritis as well as Esophagitis from Acid Reflux.  I could never properly digest a full meal and would have to always be extremely careful about what I ate.  My doctor put me on 60mg of an acid reducer but after many months of taking so much of it, it made me sick.  They also wanted to put me on an Anti-depressant but I wasn’t depressed and they wanted to use the medication for a stomach issue.

Since I have been under Dr. Tressler’s care my health has improved because my chronic Acid Reflux has settled to almost nothing anymore.  I have noticed myself being able to go out for chicken wings and do some dancing with no problems afterwards.  I have quit using all the Acid reducers and never even had to begin the Anti-depressants.  My body had some adjusting to do after I quit taking the meds but I stuck it out with chiropractic care and my body was able to fight through it.

The Flemings: Migraines, Ear infections

I have been coming to Dr Tressler now for almost two years. Before I came to him I have went through 5 different Chiropractors and none of them seem to take the time and sit with me to tell me why I was constantly getting migraines all the time, nor did they take any x-rays to show me for myself what was causing my problem.

 After the first with with Dr Tressler I knew right away he was what I was looking for in a chiropractor. He really cares for his patients and wants them to live pain free life. I also brought my son Brennan to him right after I started going because he was constantly getting ear infections and I hated the thought of putting him an antibiotics because he would have bad gastrointestinal problems from the antibiotics. I was leery at first having about having him adjust Brennan but he was so gentle and Brennan didn't seem to mind.

 I then started bringing my other two sons (Cullen and Nathan) also after seeing how well Brennan did with getting adjusted. Now I have noticed my boys rarely get sick and no doctors visits for them. Last winter was the first winter with no ear infections and have not had any since!!!

 Back to me, Since coming to Dr Tressler and the weekly program he had me on, I can now say I have not had a Migraine in over a year!!  Me and my sons look forward coming to the Dr Tressler's office once a week. We think of him, Michelle and Wendy as family!! Thanks you Dr Tressler for all you do.

Cindy: Low Back Pain, Achy Knees and Extremely "Sensitive to Touch" Skin

When I first came to Dr. Tressler I had constant low back pain, constant achey knees, extremely “sensitive to touch” skin. I could not stand up tall and straight to walk or sit, nor could I bend over to tie my shoes!

Since beginning my chiropractic care in early June 2010, I have found my constant and often severe low back pain has vanished.  That is a miracle after 31 years of pain.  When I walk up and down stairs, my knees no longer ache.  I am thrilled to be able to bend over and tie my shoes (and shave my legs) feeling no strain on my back.  I have suffered with sensitive-to-the-touch skin for many years.  That no longer happens.  My extremely poor posture has improved.  I can now sit up straight and walk tall, no longer in pain. 

I am on the road to great heatlh!

Wesley: Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)

   Wesley has Strabismus - Esotropia (inward eye crossing).  We brought Wesley into Dr Tressler's office when he was 7 months old.  We had been working under the care an ophthalmologist for 4 months monitoring Wesley's eyes and vision.  We were being recommended to do eye muscle surgery to correct his very noticeable Strabismus.  This didn't make sense to us as we were seeing signs of improvement. 

One day my mother said "have you looked into chiropractic care at all".  My first reaction was "how would that every help him, it's his EYES not his SPINE".  But as I began to talk to others, this seemed like an option that at the very least, couldn't hurt him so why not try it.  I began to ask around for recommendation for chiropractors with experience dealing with infants and it just happened that friends of ours were on there way to Dr Tressler's dinner talk the day I asked them for a referral.  They found out he also had experience dealing with as similar condition in his very own daughter.

We took Wesley into the office and immediately felt very comfortable with Dr Tressler and the staff.  Dr Tressler was extremely gentle with Wesley while he examined and adjusted him.  Never did I feel concerned about him adjusting Wesley.  He pointed out how Wesley's spine curved and explained how it should be.  I had noticed that Wesley favored one side while nursing and that every time I held him on my right side he would twist at his torso instead of at his neck.  I thought it was due to the weaker eye not his SPINE.  BUT after 3 weeks of adjusting his spine all that changed.  He was pulling both eyes out, nursing well on both sides, and twisting at his neck not torso.  We continue to see him improve each week!!  We are so thankful to Dr Tressler and his staff! 

Eddie: Back Pain and Heartburn

I found out about Dr. Tressler during a conversation about my car accidents, with a mutual friend you could say. I was having bad back pains and after an x-ray taken here at Tressler Chiropractic I found out I had a subluxation and no curve in my neck. Right away Dr. Tressler and his wonderful staff, Wendy and Michelle set me up with therapy. During my time in therapy, I have read many testimonies from recent and current patients with acid indigestion, heart burn and related symptoms. I am almost ashamed to admit it, but I questioned to myself if this was all even true about chiropractic care and the way it changes lives. I am one of those skeptical people who watch out for those “con men” running around in the world selling us hopes and dreams of a better tomorrow.
   

Chiropractic care is no joke! I have suffered from acid indigestion and heartburn for many years now due to the lack of taking care of myself properly.  It was so bad that tums wouldnt even work any more and I would just throw it right up.  I was waking up before the alarm clock throwing up about 3-5 mornings a week. I was never diagnosed because I already had a good idea what it was that was wrong with me and I don't do the doctor thing because I don't believe in the medicine they prescribe that cause other problems or as they call them side effects, which are harmful to the body. I started asking Dr. Tressler questions during my adjustments pertaining to all of my health issues. Bottom line is he always had an answer for me and with some of his opinions and tips on healthy eating my whole life feels better. When I say my whole life, I mean it. It all played in so perfectly its's almost hard to believe. I not only started eating way healthier but I was also able to cut the few beers after work nearly daily out of my diet and that went away unplanned and unexpectedly.

    Now only a few months later with my regular visits to Dr. Tressler and a healthier diet he suggested, I am waking up feeling good.  No more throwing up at all. I do still feel a little indigestion here and there but nothing like before. Just imagine how much better I feel now in the morning, and when you feel good in the morning it changes how you start your day off. Compare this to being miserable due to being unhealthy. I am no longer going through my mornings working with the idigestion, so my work day goes way better and more comfortable, so then i feel good about my self all day long basically. My spirits are higher and I'm just so much more positive about life now. All thanks to Dr. Tressler giving me healthy eating tips and adjusting my back so my nerves are not blocked or pinched off, cutting off the natural life flow God gave our bodies to function properly.
