PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

My first visit with Dr. Ellwood was to discuss my problem of severe perspiration. I was having to change my shirt twice a day during the coldest months and three times a day when hot and humid.

I had my first adjustment and was send to a room to lie down. My first thought was No Way! Something so simple as that adjustment that I could barely feel make any difference.

Within 5 minutes my left hand began to burn. I was ready to call for help fearing that something was wrong. The burning left as quickly as it came. I clinched my fist several times. Suddenly I realized that I was doing this with ease and pain free. I have suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for at least 10 years. I was taking three hundred mgs of Arthritis Strength Tylenol twice a day for seven years.

Later that evening my left foot quit hurting. I had been to several foot specialists, just to be told that they could find nothing wrong. After three adjustments, I was able to breath through my nose and sleep without snoring. These are all symptoms that I had listed in my medical history but did not expect any relief from.

My early visit to Dr. Ellwood were during the coldest months. My perspiration had reduced dramatically. I could not only get through the day without changing shirts. For the first time in my life I was able to wear an undershirt with another shirt.

Now the hot humid months had come. The real test was at hand. My co-workers were making comments that I was not all wet. The fix is for real. What a relief to feel normal and not be embarrassed by being all wet. I can actually wear a shirt and tie and feel comfortable.

I decided to go to my medical doctor for a check up during the late summer. Surprise! More good new!! The doctor wanted me to quit taking my blood pressure medication which I had taken for 28 years.

Truly what I love most about the improvement of my health since becoming a patient of Dr. Ellwood is getting much more than I had expected. I not only avoided Carpal Tunnel surgery and a considered surgery for Hyper Hydrosis.

I am pain free!

I am prescription free!

I am over the counter medication free!

I am heavy perspiration free!

I love the fact that I have found a practice that has exactly what I have been looking for, one that works and shares so much of the philosophy that I have become knowledgeable about throughout my life. I appreciate Dr. Ellwood's approach as I believe and see within him a person who really cares and is there to provide exchange in abundance. I will continue to send others to him that I believe will be helped by his practice. If one follows Dr. Ellwood's treatment with dedication, the body being in sync (harmony) will allow the spirit to heal itself. Thank you so much for being in our town. Tom L.

I would like to take a minute to thank you and tell you what a positive change has occurred in my life, thanks to your knowledge and expertise in the atlas orthogonal chiropractic.

It is by the grace of God that I even heard of you! I suffered from low back, hip and neck pain for approximately twelve years, along with fibromyalgia and TMJ. After just one adjustment I was able to go off my prescription pain medication (Vioxx). I can read again and work without constant neck pain and headaches. If my lower back or hip does flare up, a Tylenol or Aleve takes care of it. My whole life has improved as my body has started to heal and return to normal. I also suffered with terrible vertigo for six months before finding you. I have not had another episode. Doctors were never able to diagnose what was causing it, but I am convinced it was from my neck misalignment, along with the tight, sore muscles in my neck and shoulders. All have improved-thanks to this wonderful form of chiropractic care. I would also like to say that I saw other chiropractors for ten out of twelve years with little change. I never held alignment for any length of time. I now stay in alignment for months at a time. I have referred my son and daughter to you who have wonderful testimonies of their own! Along with many friends! I can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done. I praise God that He led me to you.

Sincerely,
Rhonda S.

I wanted to thank you for what you have done to help my neck. I have suffered for years with neck problems. I have tried traditional chiropractic treatment and massotherapy but the problem still continued. I would have pain that ran down my right arm to my ring and pink fingers. I was getting very frustrated because this past spring, even though I had regular adjustments, I was getting worse. I had a constant catch in my neck and constant pain. Finally, my mother told me about a new type of treatment called Atlas Orthogonal. She told me how it had helped her and my dad, as well as a friend of theirs who was supposed to have surgery to relieve the pain from her sciatic nerve. This friend tried Atlas Orthogonal and the pain was relieved right away and she didn't need surgery. I thought it wouldn't hurt to try it because what I was doing wasn't working. So in May of this year, I came to your office in Columbus and after one adjustment I was back in alignment. It took a couple weeks for the irritated nerves in my neck to calm down but once they did, I had no more neck pain or catching in my neck.

I have only needed a couple adjustments since then. I have told many people about atlas orthogonal care. I highly recommend it to anyone. It's worth the 2 hour drive to Columbus!

Sincerely

I have always been bothered by back problems during my adult lifetime. Within the last 3 years, my neck had begun to accompany the back pain, along with pain in my hips, thighs, and ankles. I tried to ignore it, assuming it was the beginning of arthritis, since I was involved in sports since my high school years. (During that time, I was injured-sprains, strains etc. and did not seek medical advise-many times.) A year ago headaches began to come and go and my thought process seemed ‘foggy”. I figured menopause was to blame for this. Soon I could not function without taking some type of pain relief (Advil, Tylenol) and even those medications did not work to alleviate the pain.

It was during a massage session (I truly believe massage helps mind, body and soul), that my masseuse told me about Dr. Ellwood and Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic. I sort of cringed at the idea of seeing another chiropractor. (I had been seen by a few and they helped my pain but the relief was fleeting in a few weeks. Besides, I disliked the jerking of my neck and spine-it was scary!) What did I have to lose?

I made and appointment with Dr. Ellwood and met with him. He thoroughly explained the difference between chiropractic and atlas orthogonal chiropractic methods. This seemed to be a more precise approach, which I agreed with. So I began my corrections and treatments with Dr. Ellwood. After 2 sessions, I no longer had the headaches and neck pains. After the 3rd, my leg pain disappeared.

My corrections have lasted about 3 months and I returned to Dr. Ellwood for another treatment. The treatments are painless and quick. Dr. Ellwood takes his time reviewing your chart and progress and he explains everything.

Thank you Dr. Ellwood.

When I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) I was relieved. I was thankful that someone finally knew where this terrible pain in my face was coming from. However, the more I read about TN the sooner I realized that the diagnoses was not a relief after all. TN is a horribly painful thing, with no “cure” only treatment. Treatment, which I soon found was almost as bad as the Trigeminal Neuralgia. The medication that I was given to treat the TN had horrible side effects and only relieved the pain temporarily. I began to look for other options. I thought that I may have to consider surgery to relieve the pain, but the surgical options were very frightening and had no guaranties that they would get rid of the pain, so I continued searching for help.

I came across some information on Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic, and how it has helped TN patients. So I began to research the procedure and to look for a doctor who specialized in it. That is how I found Dr. Ellwood. He was 2 hours from my home, but after speaking to him on the phone I knew I had to go and at least find out if he could help me.

After only one adjustment, the pain was gone. However, I was still taking my medication, so I began cut back so I would better know how I was feeling. During my second appointment Dr. Ellwood adjusted my Atlas once more, and that was it. I saw him several times over the next four weeks, but needed no additional treatments. Now, several months later, I am off all of my medication, and I am pain-free.

Dr. Ellwood and Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic gave me my life back. Prior to being treated by him I was in constant pain. Not a day went by that I wasn’t tortured by the pain of Trigeminal Neuralgia. I could barely stand to go to work each day, because of the pain and the side effects from the medication. Now, I wake up every day thankful for being pain-free and thankful to Dr. Ellwood for his dedication to helping people like me.

Painful symptoms relieved by Dr. John Ellwood

Teeth grinding, a broken tooth, a loosened dental cap, the inability to chew properly. Tired and sore jaw muscles, to the point that it was difficult to open my mouth, and jaws that locked, cracked, and clicked. Earaches and neck aches, shoulder pain, sensitive teeth, and loose teeth. This was just some of what I was experiencing in early 2001. Although not life-threatening, these symptoms were effecting my quality of life and needed attention. I wasn't even aware of what was happening to me at night while I slept until my dentist suggested that my jaw might be out of place. I was concerned that I might need a special orthopedic mouth guard to prevent clinching, but after I have the teeth damage corrected, I visited Dr. John Ellwood. Dr. Ellwood worked on my neck, beginning in October. With just a few treatments there was great results. My soreness disappeared, my neck pain and earache went away, and I was finally able to chew again without pain.

I am a 83 year old active working male. For over 20 years I have doctored with chiropractors. On the 27th of September, 2000 I tripped and fell face forward on my hands and knees. I felt no immediate pain. The next morning I could hardly get out of bed. I went to my family medical doctor. He gave me medication and concluded that I had a pulled hamstring. For several weeks I suffered. Then I contacted Dr. Ellwood. Dr. Ellwood did a most thorough examination, including x-rays. In consultation, Dr. Ellwood explained this new procedure of chiropractic. I agreed to the procedure. Dr. Ellwood gave me the treatment on a Tuesday, and in turn on Thursday. Previously, I had lost much of my normal gate of walk, and had much pain before the treatment. Two days later the pain was gone and I was returning to many of my activities. Six weeks later I have my total health-walking, lifting, and free from the side effects of pain. I highly recommend the work of Dr. Ellwood.
