Weight Loss Success!

September 9, 2013 by towers

The goal of the nutrition course, “Diabesity”, is to empower participants to achieve better  health through diet and lifestyle.  Losing weight is a natural benefit but it is not the primary focus of the classes.  The program is gradually implemented over seven weeks and is provided in a supportive group setting–very helpful for making permanent, beneficial changes.  The following is one participant’s response to taking the class.

“Monica’s ‘Reclaim Your Health’ Diabesity Class has been extremely helpful to both me and my husband.  Although my husband did not attend the class he responded positively to all the dietary changes I was making and went on to lose over 35 pounds.  We feel great, and have benefited so much!  What we have learned will stay with us the rest of our lives.  I consider Monica and Dr. Burgoon the best resources I know of on nutrition and health.”

Acute back pain

August 30, 2013 by towers

Please explain why you came to our office.

“Acute back pain unresolved by PT exercises I do at home.  Back pain had been under good control with exercises until I suffered a torn meniscus in my knee, necessitating more use of my back in activities of daily living.  Back pain exacerbated to point I could not get into and out of the car without moderately severe pain.”

Please describe your response to treatment.

“Much diminished discomfort.  No back pain getting in and out of vehicle most days.  I am continuing my PT exercise as well as additional exercises recommended by Dr. Burgoon.  I will continue treatment as long as recommended as I feel I have definitely benefited from them.”       ~67 year-old female

Food Cravings Respond to “Diabesity” Program

August 7, 2013 by towers

Why did you take the class?

“I have a love-hate relationship with food.  Sugar and chocolate cravings always land me in larger size clothes before I know it!”

How did you respond to the program?

“The class taught me why the cravings happen and what foods to eat to avoid sugar cravings.  And it works!  The first week on the program I noticed an eight and a half pound drop in weight.  I didn’t even want chocolate or sugar foods.  Not eating bread or dairy, did me a world of good!  I wasn’t bloated and my energy level increased, brain fog was gone and I was sleeping more soundly.”~59 year-old female

Diabetic’s response to “Diabesity” Class

August 7, 2013 by towers

Why did you take the Diabesity class and did it meet your expectations?

“As a Type II diabetic  there were two reasons why I decided to take the class.  The first was to lose weight and the second was to stabilize my blood sugars which had been too high for too long.”

How did you respond to the program?

“During the six week program I have lost about 18 pounds which I hope to continue to a goal of 28 pounds.  More important than the weight loss was the program’s effect on my blood sugars which have come down to very good levels (81-90).  These stabilized blood sugars have allowed me to reduce my insulin by 65 units/day.  Besides my reduction in insulin dosage I have almost eliminated my need for the acid-reducing medication nexium.  I have only taken three doses in the last four weeks.  This class not only met but exceeded my expectations.” 62 year-old male

Chronic low back pain

June 5, 2013 by towers

Please explain why you came to our office.

“I was experiencing low back pain and stiffness that was becoming chronic and worse, especially when driving.  I was referred strongly by a friend of mine who had wonderful results from Dr Burgoon.”

Please describe your response to treatment.

“The response to this treatment has far exceeded my expectations.  I thought I would have to live with some degree of pain and stiffness the rest of my life.  Dr. Burgoon did some testing and explained very clearly, in easy to understand approach, what damage I had done to my spine…With a few treatments and a daily exercise I do at home–I feel like my back is as healthy as 15 years ago!  This has been a wonderful experience!”       ~52 year-old male

Back injury with leg numbness

March 22, 2013 by towers

Please explain why you came to our office.

“I had been struggling with a low back injury that finally got so bad I was in writhing pain and my left leg was completely numb.  After some convincing I saw a local chiropractor.  My pain did get better–but I continued to have flare-ups and my left leg was still partially numb.”

Please describe your response to treatment.

“Very Postitive!  By using chiropractic, diet changes, and changing my approach to exercise (and stress) I have fewer flare-ups and my left leg is no longer numb.  I have not used any pain medication (prescription or OTC) in over 3 years.  I am happy and healthy and love being able to move around with my children!”~35 year-old mother
