Chiropractic Testimonials

"My problem was my lower back, It kept going out and I had been suffering off and on for years. It started at work. I pulled two discs out, my 4th and 5th vertebra. I found out about Dr. Anderson through our new work insurance.

On my first visit, Dr. Anderson took some x-rays and treated my back with very nice treatments. Dr. Anderson told me that a few discs were out in my lower back. Dr. Anderson improved my life as my problem is gone now, I feel great and I hope it stays that way. He made me feel like a new person and no more pain.

Words of encouragement for others who have similar problems: “Get in to see Dr. Anderson, don’t wait like I did, for it will just get worse. My condition is great and I feel wonderful now. The office people care greatly, and are very friendly as well as Dr. Anderson.”

"I initially hurt my back at work. I do a lot of standing to kneeling to bending. I was sitting on the floor when I tried to get up I felt a pull, a pop and pressure. I couldn’t get off the floor.

Whenever I had a sore back in the past I would head straight to the medicine cabinet then to the freezer for ice. It helped for the time being, but in the long run I knew it wouldn’t bring permanent relief.

After I hurt myself at work, I flipped though the Yellow Pages and saw a friendly face. It said “family” so I figured it would be a laid back place. Dr. Anderson took x-rays, which helped me to understand why I had a sore back all the time. He did adjustments and I had therapy. Dr. Anderson explained I had a S1 problem, 4 curves in my back, lack of curve in my upper back and my neck pointed the wrong way. All irreversible.

Throughout treatment I eventually felt relief and then immediate relief. Dr. Anderson had told me it would take 18-24 adjustments, but it didn’t take that long. I feel ”straight” in-line now! I now can bend side to side without pain and I can bend back twice as far as I could before, which helps with my line of work.

I would suggest if you’ve never been to a chiropractor — GO!! You’ll never know how good you can feel until you do!"

"I had minor back problems for about 6-8 months. It probably started from strenuous house cleaning jobs that I do. Also stress from caring for my husband and his passing away in February. On May 30th, in the afternoon I had much pain in my back and I could barely get around. I had minor back pain in the past, but nothing that was so severe.

I had tried heat and minor exercises. My son in law then told me about Dr. Anderson.

Dr. Anderson told me I had scoliosis, arthritis and a pinched nerve. I came five days in a row then three times a week for three weeks. Each treatment relieved pain and made me feel better. Now I have no pain and can keep working and enjoying life. I feel like a new person thanks to Dr. Anderson. Try him, He’s great!"

I CAN DO THINGS THAT I COULDN’T BEFORE

"I’ve been a patient of Dr. Anderson’s since 1996, when I had been involved in a car accident and had whiplash. Dr. Anderson gave me regular adjustments. I came to see Dr. Anderson last year for my blinding migraines after an acquaintance, who happens to be a chiropractor, told me that chiropractic could help migraine trouble.

My migraine headaches had started for no apparent reason. I first went to my medical doctor, who told me I had suffered a small stroke and referred me to a neurologist. All in all, I had 4 or 5 major tests, and their last prescription was for pills and self-administered shots. None of this helped.

Dr. Anderson told me that my headaches were related to whiplash I’d suffered five to six years ago. I had a nasty subluxation. After three adjustments, my headaches disappeared and I haven’t had a migraine since.

I have also been treated for knee pain. My knees have given me trouble since high school. All the doctors I had seen for this problem told me “it’s in your head. Nothing is wrong.” Dr. Anderson really listened to what I told him about my knee pain. A few adjustments later, I could walk without pain!

When my wrists started to hurt, my medical doctor’s solution was carpal tunnel surgery and I wanted to avoid that at all cost! I went straight to Dr. Anderson. He started adjusting both hands, but there’s been significant improvement and he only needs to adjust one now.

Now that I don’t have migraines, my days aren’t wasted while I suffer at home. I can be more active. With my wrists feeling better, I can do many things I couldn’t before – and work is so much easier, since I do a lot of handwriting!

Chiropractic may not be traditional, but trust in it. Dr. Anderson knows what he’s doing. He treats the whole person, not just the spinal bones. I believe in chiropractic. Thank you, Dr. Anderson!!"

NOW I CAN CONCENTRATE ON THE IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE

"I had been experiencing daily headaches and a sore neck for several months. I had a neck injury when I was a teenager, and Dr. Anderson thought it may have started with that.

Previously I tried a Therapistselect Kneading Massager and daily doses of Ibuprofen to try and resolve my problem, without much help. I found Dr. Anderson in my insurance carrier’s list of preferred providers and he was the first on the list.

Dr. Anderson started out with an exam and took some x-rays on my first visit. This was followed by numerous adjustments several times a week. He kept encouraging me that I would feel better soon. Dr. Anderson told me that the vertebra were pinching a nerve in my neck and showed me on the x-rays exactly where this was happening.

I saw Dr. Anderson for two months and the pain is now gone. I see him now once a month for maintenance. It was hard to function on a day-to-day basis with constant headaches and I am now able to concentrate on the important things in life. I thought my headaches were caused by tension at work, but Dr. Anderson proved that wrong. Unfortunately, Dr. Anderson wasn’t able to take away the stress at work! I also encouraged my wife to see Dr. Anderson for a tailbone problem she was having. With both her and I feeling better, life is so much better!

Words of encouragement for others – “Even if you have a problem that you don’t think a chiropractor can help, see Dr. Anderson, you would be amazed at the problems that can be cured with good chiropractic care.”

MY HEADACHES ARE GONE

"I was getting nagging headaches almost daily. I was at a point where I thought I was going to be “blessed” with them until I mentioned them to Dr. Anderson. He worked his “magic” and they were gone.

I had been suffering for the past 10 years with back pain. I tried taking medication that was prescribed to me by my doctor to no avail and it didn’t seem to solve my back pain.

I then heard a radio advertisement of Dr. Anderson’s and made an appointment to see him. Through treatment of spinal adjustments my back feels better and my headaches are gone.

I recommend that you see Dr. Anderson for treatment, especially for back pain!"

- S.W.


I DON’T COMPLAIN ABOUT MY HEADACHES ANYMORE

"If you’re like me you know what it is like to suffer from upper and lower back pain along with severe headaches. I took over the counter medications, sometimes up to three times a day. I would get a massage every 6-12 months for some relief as well. As you could guess, my pain never went away. I thought this is how people live, in pain. Well, I learned from going to see Dr. Anderson that no one should have to live in pain, there is help.

I met Dr. Anderson at the Women’s Expo. He was doing free spinal screenings. With the pain that I had been living with I thought what the heck. He had asked me what my problems were and I told him about my back and headaches etc. He told me that I should go in to see him, because he could help.

On my first appointment he did an exam, took x-rays of my whole spine and then gave me my first adjustment. I was amazed! It was almost instant. The adjustment had gotten rid of my lower back pain. He had put me on a treatment plan that lasted about 3 months. Now I am on the wellness plan. I come in once a month for an adjustment to make sure everything is where it should be. My shoulder and back pain are gone. My headaches are very minimal and I don’t have to take headache meds hardly at all.

My fiancé is as excited as I am! Because of Dr. Anderson, he doesn’t have to hear me complain about my pain and headaches anymore. You can’t be afraid to ask for help. I’m so glad that I did. I learned that you don’t have to live with pain, do something about it, go see Dr. Anderson so you can start enjoying your life again, enjoying a pain free life again!"

I LIVE A MORE ENRICHED LIFE NOW!

"My neck and back had been in severe pain prior to the time I came to Dr. Anderson. I couldn’t even lean forward to get out of bed without feeling extreme discomfort. I tried using heat wraps, which I found out wasn’t beneficial, but actually unconstructive. Having people walk on my back didn’t seem to work either.
A friend of mine saw how much pain I was in and I just started going through the phonebook. I called Dr. Anderson and made an appointment.
After an examination and x-rays, we began a treatment program specified towards my needs. Dr. Anderson told me that basically, my spine was curved where it was suppose to be straight and straight where it was supposed to be curved.
Since treatment began I have noticed improved flexibility and very little pain if any throughout the course of an average day. It’s the little things that you notice improvements on during the course of a day that enable me to live a more enriched life. For me it was just getting out of bed without pain.
My advice to others is trust the doctor and stick with your treatment plan! DM I STARTED FEELING BETTER RIGHT AWAY! My back had been bothering me for a little while. I was using ice and heat, but it wasn’t working. I had a chiropractor that I use to go to, but he moved to Colorado. I had no idea which Chiropractor I was going to go see, but I had to go see someone. I found out that my old doctor, Dr. Feinhals had done work with Dr. Anderson so I decided to go see him.
My first appointment was an hour long. Dr. Anderson had taken some x-rays, did and exam and then adjusted my back. On my second appointment he went over my exam and x-rays with me. He told me and showed me that I have curvature of the spine.
I started feeling better right away. His adjustments helped me a lot. I can sit and walk more comfortably than I did before. For anyone who is thinking about going to a chiropractor, or anyone who is in pain, go try a chiropractor, go to Dr. Anderson. You’ll feel great and be able to move like you did when you were younger! RS DON’T BE AFRAID TO TRY CHIROPRACTIC! One day I started getting middle back pain. I didn’t know exactly what I had done to cause the pain, but it was there. I had the pain for about a week or so. I tried just resting to see if that would help and then I did some stretching but that didn’t really help any. I’ve seen Dr. Anderson in the past so I decided to give him a call.
When I went in for my appointment he did a full exam, some new x-rays and then he adjusted my back. He put me on a treatment program and progress was slowly achieved and the pain was relieved.
After seeing Dr. Anderson my life has returned to normal, but I’ll never be able to be the star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. Don’t be afraid to try alternate methods of treatment. Chiropractic helped me and it can help you too!"

 THE PROGRESS WAS SLOW, BUT WITH TIME, THE PAIN WENT AWAY!

"I want to thank Dr. Anderson for explaining my health problems and setting a goal with me for improvement. I had been to a chiropractic office before and had no idea why they adjusted certain parts but not others. Or how the body needs to work together to improve your health so much.

My condition was back aches, shoulder pain and burning in my upper back area. The pain was so bad some days that I didn’t want to do anything. I had been suffering for many months if not almost a full year. I work in a factory and do the same thing over and over all day long. I also look down a lot which caused a lot of neck pain and headaches.

I had gone to my family doctor and he put me on muscle relaxers. They worked for a while but they even stopped helping. I did some out patient therapy but that only lasted for a while. I was looking in the phone book one day for someone close to home and I came across Dr. Anderson.

On my first appointment I had full exam and x-rays. Dr. Anderson told me that I had curves in my spine, weak areas in the spine and bone spurs starting. I had appointments every day for a while to try and teach the spine to stay in its place. The appointments decreased as I got better. I had electric therapy which really helped.

The progress was slow to start with at first and I didn’t think it was getting better but with lots of time the pain went away. I don’t live with backaches or burning in my upper back anymore. Best of all, my headaches are gone too! I can finally sleep all night without being up 5 times to find a comfortable spots. Also, I enjoy playing darts each week and now I can play all night without the pain.

Don’t give up, there is help out there. The problem took a long time coming on and a long time to get better. It was slow, but progress was there each week."

MY LIFE HAS RETURNED TO NORMAL

"One day I started getting middle back pain. I didn’t know exactly what I had done to cause the pain, but it was there. I had the pain for about a week or so. I tried just resting to see if that would help and then I did some stretching but that didn’t really help any. I’ve seen Dr. Anderson in the past so I decided to give him a call.

When I went in for my appointment he did a full exam, some new x-rays and then he adjusted my back. He put me on a treatment program and progress was slowly achieved and the pain was relieved.

After seeing Dr. Anderson my life has returned to normal, but I’ll never be able to be the star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. Don’t be afraid to try alternate methods of treatment. Chiropractic helped me and it can help you too!"

I AM NOW PAIN FREE

"I was at home and I bent over the wrong way and I heard something crack. It was my lower back. It hurt for days before I decided to go see Dr. Anderson. I had tried using heat and ice to relieve the pain and stiffness, but it only helped temporarily.

I found Dr. Anderson in my insurance manual and then I looked him up in the Yellow Pages. I decided to give him a call. On my first appointment he shot x-rays and described what was wrong with me. Then he cracked my back and neck a few times to relieve pressure. He told me that my spine was out of alignment and we needed to straighten it out.

After each session my pain and stiffness slowly got better. I am now pain free! I can now walk standing straight up instead of being hunched over. My words of encouragement are if you have any problems with you back or neck, Dr. Anderson is definitely the one to see!!"

- J.T.


EVEN IF YOUR NOT IN PAIN, DO IT ANYWAYS!

"My pain had started after I had been lifting weights. I had a pain on the right side of my lower back. I tried to do some stretching to see if that would help and I also started getting massages to try to leave the pain as well. Nothing seemed to be working so I turned to the phone book. I saw Dr. Anderson’s ad and decided to give him a call."

- T.S.


"On my first appointment Dr. Anderson did a full exam, x-rays and then scheduled me for daily sessions. He had told me that my lower back pain was caused from spinal misalignment. My progress has been great. Dr. Anderson made my back pain go away and my whole body is pain free.

After coming to see Dr. Anderson I feel as if my body is more in tune with my mind. I can now bend and move way better than I could before seeing Dr. Anderson.

What I have learned and words of encouragement: Even if you are not in pain, do it anyways! I’m glad that I did!"

I FEEL “STRAIGHT” IN-LINE NOW

Dr. Anderson explained I had a sacroilliac problem, lack of curve in my upper back and my neck pointed the wrong way. All irreversible.

Throughout treatment I eventually felt relief and immediate relief. Dr. Anderson had told me it would take 18 to 24 adjustments, but it didn’t take that long and he released me from care before that. I feel “straight” in-line now! I now can bend side to side without pain and I can bend back twice as far as I could before, which helps with my line of work.

MY BACK FEELS BETTER THAN EVER

"I hurt my back at work. I had so much pain in my lower back that I had trouble just getting out of bed. I refused to see a doctor because I was sure he would just tell me to get bed rest and then time will heal my lower back. After two days of extreme pain I figured I had to do something.

My sister in-law suggested Dr. Anderson. I decided to go in and see him. I couldn’t stand the pain anymore, something had to be done. After Dr. Anderson took some x-rays, did an exam and made a diagnosis, he adjusted me. The relief was immediate. I will never forget my first adjustment. I got so much relief and I had such a buzz from my adjustment that I went thru a red light and almost got in a car accident which would have been bad. But the point is, I felt great!

Since then, I started to go in for my monthly chiropractic maintenance. My back feels better than ever."

GUESS WHAT, NO PAIN 

"I was having lower back pain for about two weeks now. I hurt my self at work, and I’m guessing that’s what brought the pain on. I tried using ice and heat, but that didn’t seem to do much good.

One day I was on the internet, surfing around and decided to look for a chiropractor, thinking they might be able to help me. I came across Dr. Anderson’s website and decided to give him a call. I ended up making an appointment.

Dr. Anderson took x-rays and identified the problem. He explained everything to me so that I could understand it. He told me that I had sprained my back. He then set me up with a treatment plan.

As far as my progress goes, well it got better right away. I definitely noticed a difference and at the end of my treatment plan, guess what, NO PAIN! After I hurt my self I couldn’t do much. Dr. Anderson has me back to work, bending, twisting and everything else that I was able to do before I got hurt.

Go to Dr. Anderson. He is the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. He is the Bomb! And so are the girls behind the desk. THEY ARE PHENOMINAL!"

YOU’LL BE AMAZED AT THE RESULTS

"I have had back problems most of my life. I’ve mostly had low back pain and every once in a while upper. Then one day out of the blue I had terrible sciatica pain. I never had that before. It was pretty painful. I used some ice and just tried to lie in bed. I thought that might help it but it didn’t. I had a doctor that seemed to be able to help me, but he moved away and I had no idea what I was going to do.

One day while I was at home watching TV I saw one of Dr. Anderson’s TV commercials. I thought I would give him a try. I went in to see him and he did a full exam and took some x-rays. He put me on a treatment plan and I knew I was on my way to less pain.
After my treatment plan was over Dr. Anderson did another exam to make sure that I was doing better. He put me on what is called a “Wellness Program”. I now only come in once a month to get an adjustment. It is kind of like a tune up for your car, but it is for your back and it involves your health and wellbeing.

I can’t believe he was able to take the pain away. I can move around more and I can bend over. That was the big thing before, I couldn’t bend over. I can’t believe what he has done for me. My advice to anyone who is thinking about going to a chiropractor is to go. Do to what Dr. Anderson tells you to do and hang in there. It’s not going to happen over night, but you will be amazed at the results!"

I TAKE WALKS UP TO THREE MILES A DAY

"I had a very rapid development of stiffness and pain in the lower back with what felt like the pain of pinched nerves radiating into the thigh of my right leg with the sensation of a strained muscle and muscle spasms. I went through a period of about 5 days resting and taking anti-inflammatory over the counter medications without relief and having gone two nights without sleep.

I located Dr. Anderson by searching specifically for a Palmer Method D.C. in the Oshkosh area. At the time I first came to Dr. Anderson I was unable to sleep or remain in any one position for more than a few minutes at a time. I was experiencing severe pain in my lower back and radiating into my upper leg/thigh regions, particularly my right leg which was even having muscle spasms. I found it exceedingly difficult to walk even short distances indoors, drive a vehicle or do even the most basic daily tasks such as trying to put on shoes or stand at the sink long enough to wash the dishes.

Dr. Anderson spent some time getting a history on me and examined my functioning as to range of movement, stance, reflexes and walking motions. Along with the examination, an x-ray of the entire spinal column was taken from 2 views in a standing position with the skeletal system bearing weight. Dr. Anderson said that my x-rays exhibited signs of Phase 1 and Phase 2 spinal deterioration showing narrowing of disc spacing, calcium deposits forming roughened surfaces and bone spur development, any or all of which could irritate nerves. There were also curvatures of the spine in several places.

I began treatment a little over 3 months ago receiving 3 to 4 treatments a week and have now progressed to where I am scheduled for treatment once every two weeks. For the most part, my progress has come gradually and steadily. In the early stages of treatment it was sometimes “two steps forward and one step back”. As treatment progressed, the spinal adjustments seem to last for a longer period of time while periods of discomfort are less severe and more infrequent. My pain in the upper legs is for the most part absent.

I’m back to living a pretty much normal life. I’ve been able to return to the work place, which has me on my feet and very active physically for the entire day. I have also resumed a normal life regarding activities of various kinds and have been able to again get a good nights rest without losing sleep to pain and discomfort. I now drive my vehicle on extended trips, take brisk walks of up to 3 miles and handle my housework, none of which were possible before staring chiropractic with Dr Anderson.

Above all, have faith that your condition will improve, that you can and will feel better if you commit yourself to the suggested number and frequency of visits. Your body has a remarkable ability to heal itself given some help, but you must stick with the program and not expect an instant “fix”. You didn’t develop your problem overnight although it can seem like it just came on that way!"

I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU DR. ANDERSON

"I had been suffering with lower back pain at work for about 4 or 5 days. I was taking pain pills, but they didn’t do anything to fix my back. I had never experienced not being able to sit or stand for even short periods of time. It even bothered me to drive my Jeep. Right when the pain in my back got to be too much, I knew right where to go.

Dr. Anderson had helped me before. I started to come in and see him, but as soon as I started to feel ok, I stopped. I knew that I shouldn’t have stopped coming in, but I did, and that was a mistake. This time I went and stuck to my treatment plan. He adjusted my back and he did therapy on me.

The progress didn’t take long at all. My results kept getting better every day. Now, my back feels great and I’m not in pain anymore. I can go back to work, sit, stand, walk, I’m finally getting a good night’s sleep and I can play with my son again. Well, I’m less stressful therefore I’m happier, and now I can walk my dog.

I want to say thank you Dr. Anderson for all you did to heal me and to your wonderful staff for making my time there a great experience. I will definitely tell other people to go see Dr. Anderson because I know that I’ll be there.

Go get the help you need and try Dr. Anderson. Even though some people might think it is a waste of time, I know it’s not and once you go, you’ll know that it’s not either!"

DR. ANDERSON PUT NEW LIFE IN MY BODY

"When I first started going to Dr. Anderson I was in great pain with my back. It started by slipping and throwing my back out. There’s just one thing I can say before I got help from Dr. Anderson is I was one miserable lady.

I tried heating pads, cold packs and even salves to help my problem and all of them were unsuccessful. I heard a lot of Dr. Anderson from his TV advertising. I picked him myself and I am so glad I did!

Dr. Anderson gave me an exam and x-rays and started my treatment. He told me I had a very bad looking back and that I had scoliosis. My treatments went well and each day and week that went by I felt better and better.

Today I feel like Dr. Anderson put a new life in my body and I can’t “Thank” him enough. I’ll be ever so grateful for meeting him and having him for a great doctor and friend, whom I’ll never forget. I can do my housework and even yard work. All these great things he has done to have me feel like a lady of 50 instead of 81!!

My words of encouragement is to just don’t give up and always have faith in your doctor. I did and see what happened to me!!!!"

- L.J.


I’M ALMOST AS GOOD AS NEW

"Before coming to see Dr. Anderson and his wonderful staff, I had fallen on the ice a couple of times and injured my lower back. I had extreme lower back pain, particularly on the right, with lower leg/toe numbness and tingling. I was kind of dealing with the pain until one morning I was bending over to feed my dog and the pain shot through me. It was so bad I could hardly move.

I had tried a physical therapist but it didn’t help at all. I heard about Dr. Anderson through a referral I got from Dr. Drew Fienhals in Redgranite, Wisconsin, so I decided to give him a call.

Dr. Anderson did x-rays and an exam, then put me on the “system” to eventually get to wellness.

After a few weeks and several adjustments, Dr. Anderson had me almost as good as new. It’s been over a year now since my injury and I feel fantastic. Thanks Dr. Anderson!!"
