second, and Understanding the third." Marge Piercy.

- In my case the understanding part has
come later in life. I am a 44 year old mother of 2 small children
and only recently have I come to understand that health is "central"
to life and love.. without it you are left short. Busy with carrier
and children, I neglected my health for years. Along with a chronic
intestinal problem I suffered from neck and back aches and lack of
sleep because of constant repositioning.
-
- I began visiting Lark Chiropractic and
started an exercise program at the gym to strengthen back and neck
muscles. Exam and x-rays confirmed my poor posture and arthritis. My
neck and head were bent forward and shoulders were rolled forward
and down.
-
- After a treatment regime that included
head weights, spinal molding, adjustments and exercise, I began to
see improvement. At 2 months, I am pain free, my posture and
mobility are improved, and I am sleeping through the night. The work
at home is as important as the office visits. I understand that "correcting"
spinal problems is a process that will take time. There are no "quick
fix" treatments for these conditions.
-
- I appreciate the patience and grace that
this office has shown in the disruption from toddlers. This is the
only way I could get the help I needed. Thanks Dr. Sharon!

- When I first went to see Dr. Lark, my back
was in such pain that I could not stand , sleep, sit, etc. for more
than 15 minutes at a time. I was fairly skeptical of what a
chiropractor could do for me, but was willing to give it a try
because I did not want to be on pain medicine while I was in school.
(As I felt it would hinder my ability to think clearly.)
-
- Dr. Lark was very patient with me and
explained how spinal adjustments would work towards correcting my
subluxations. I had never heard of "subluxations" and
asked Dr. Lark several more questions, which he answered quite
efficiently. The most important aspect of Dr. Lark is his amount of
knowledge about the spinal column and his patience in explaining the
procedures and how they work.
-
- The bottom line is, one week after getting
my spinal adjustments, my back felt great. Several other areas of
pain were also eliminated, such as a constant throbbing in my
shoulder, which I thought would always be there due to the amount of
stress I was under while attending school (with four kids and a new
marriage, my stress was never ending!). I fell better, think clearer
and am looking forward to working with Dr. Lark towards a healthier
lifestyle for myself.

- I started chiropractic care with Drs. Steven and Sharon Lark in
February 1997. The problem was 5 days old when I secured
chiropractic care. I was having tremendous back pain. I was unable
to walk normally nor was I able to do medium type chores. My back
would go out, or on a binge once a year where I wouldn't be able to
tie my shoes for a couple of days. Then it would be over and gone.
But the nagging pain of the shoulder, neck and back discomfort
seemed to linger on until you just learn to live with it. Learn how
not to live with it is what Dr. Steven and Dr. Sharon Lark have
taught me. The adjustment of the bones is temporary if you do not
correct some of your own personal habits, and it wasn't nice to hear
that at the time.
- Now life is more comfortable. My back is no longer curved crooked
according to my x-rays. My neck is now curving correctly to it's
original design and my shoulders don't ache. Life goes on and so do
I.

- In June of 1996 I injured my hip while
participation in Aikido and began looking for some type of relief
for my symptoms. after my injury, I began to have trouble walking .
As a result, I was about to drop out of Aikido and resign myself to
the fact that I was too old to participate in martial arts. Within a
couple of weeks after coming to Lark Chiropractic and receiving
treatment, I no longer had trouble walking and I was actively
participating in Aikido.
- As I continued to receive treatment at
Lark Chiropractic, I began to notice that It was no longer necessary
for me to take 4 to 6 Excedrin tablets and 1 to 2 Actifed tablets on
a daily basis in order to rid myself of headaches and sinus pressure
that I had been dealing with for the last 10 to 12 years. In
addition, I noticed that my shoulders, which were rotated forward
from years of wrestling, began to steadily return to their correct ("natural")
position. Consequently, I am much happier with my posture than I
have been in years. Another benefit that I noticed was that my
overall health did not seem to be as affected by life stressors as
it had been before I began receiving Chiropractic adjustments on a
consistent basis.
- As I continue to learn more about
Chiropractic and learn more about how I can use it in combination
with other preventative techniques, I feel as though I am healthier
and less likely to have a health crisis than I was before I began
receiving treatment at Lark Chiropractic.
