Testimonials

Below are just a few testimonials given to the Clinic after making a full recovery, feel free to pop into the clinic to read more.

"Before taking the ALCAT test at Gonstead Family Chiropractic, I was bloated and was carrying a lot of water weight. Try as I might, I couldn't lose any weight, no matter how stringently I dieted or how faithfully I exercised. I was extremely fatigued and would often take a nap after work. I never had a good night's sleep because my indigestion was so bad it would keep me awake for hours every night. My sinuses drained constantly. Both my eyelids twitched nearly constantly & my right eye wouldn't open all the way. My joints didn't work right and if I squatted down, I couldn't get up without help. I have none of those symptoms now, as long as I stay away from my reactive foods. Thank you so very much. I am attaching the pictures of me before & now. They were taken 7 months apart."

"I purchased one of your tests about a year and half ago at Gonstead Family and just wanted to say THANK YOU!  For years I was in pain with no help from doctors.  I was poked and prodded in very way with no results.  Then finally, I came across what you offer, decided to give it a try, and I feel SO much better.  My quality of life has improved substantially thanks to this test.  So I just wanted to extend my thanks to you for offering an alternative for those of us who have had little to no success with traditional testing."

"Certainly there are a lot of testimonials that come from Gonstead Clinic and rightfully so via the WOW factor!!! Wow, this clinic is the best of the best!  Sure a lot of people could make such a statement HOWEVER with currently managing 50 plus chiropractic offices and overseeing roughly 650 more…for me personally it comes down to “Okay, with all of those resources available where do I go to improve and regain my personal health?”  That’s when I met the doctor at Gonstead Family Chiropractic and after talking to the vice president of the nationally renowned chiropractic management company…, “Gonstead Family Chiropractic was the HANDS DOWN #1 answer I received!!!
           
Is that a reputation the doctor and associates upheld?  Yes of no?  Well, there is always a here or there, a light or a dark, a yes or no behind every answer.  WITHOUT a doubt, after having gone through my treatment plan, the answer is a resounding YES.  Hands down the best chiropractor in Arizona!  I’d also put my reputation on the line when I say the best chiropractor, in honesty, the best chiropractor on this side of the United States.
           
In closing, there are A LOT of factors that go into a chiropractic office HOWEVER a good staff is an absolute MUST HAVE!!!  Not only does this staff achieve that level of professionalism they exceed their required expectations.  There is no wonder why they teach classes to other chiropractic offices around the country.  They’d never brag about it but they are among the very best and are leading the way in their field as well.  Good on you gals…good on you.
           
Thank you for your time and help.  In Christ Jesus may God Bless you and those around you."

"A friend told me to come and see the doctor at Gonstead Family Chiropractic, but I resisted for weeks.  Finally after a really bad migraine I came to see him.  I have suffered with headaches and neck pain, numbness and tingling in my hands and feet for years.  I have been on multiple medications and seen by more doctors than I can count.  Several years ago I had two auto accidents within 6 months of the other.  From that point my symptoms became worse.  I have had to go to the emergency room because my headaches would last 48-72 hours with severe vomiting.  Since I have been under the care of Gonstead Family Chiropractic, my symptoms have improved.  2004 was the start of “new life” for me.  I have been able to do more activities than I have in years.  I was having headaches everyday, some worse than others, but since starting treatment, I have less than 2 a month.  The process was slow in the early stages, but I didn’t give up hope.  Today I’m thankful that I don’t have to open my eyes when I wake up wondering just how bad the day will be.  I had forgotten what life without pain was like.  Thank you Gonstead Family Chiropractic!  Thanks to your staff and family for supporting the awesome work that you do."

"There are a multitude of chiropractors in the valley, each offering a certain value of care for the average patient in need.  The factor which separates the degree of care given by Gonstead Family Chiropractic is the performance of the front office staff.  Their professionalism in unsurpassed and the personal touch they give toward the cliental is essential for promoting a positive health care environment."

- Dean W.

"I was injured in an automobile accident in July 2004, which left my left side, arm and shoulder hurting so badly that I had to sit up in a chair at night for about two weeks.  I was then referred to Gonstead Family Chiropractic for therapy.  The doctor was in Sun City, AZ.

After just a few treatments, I was again able to sleep in bed at night and with each treatment I seemed to improve.  Now I feel about 99.9% better, but the doctor says that I still have some slight tissue damage in my left should which should improve with an exercise he has suggested.
           
I am very pleased with the results of my treatments with Gonstead Family Chiropractic."

"When I first came into the office, I had back pain, left leg pain and no movement in my left big toe. The pain made it incredibly difficult to walk and participate in activities and because I was not able to move my toe, I was unable to wear closed-toe shoes. My pain kept me from enjoying activities such as walking, going out, and dancing. The pain also prevented me from activities such as housework. In addition, I was also having difficulty sleeping through the night without disruption due to pain.

Before coming into the office, I took pain and sleeping medicine to ease the pain I was feeling. I spent a lot of money on doctor visits, physical therapy, MRIs and X-rays; none of which helped the pain I felt.

Since starting care at Gonstead Family Chiropractic, I have regained movement in my toe, I don’t suffer from back pain, and my leg is feeling a lot better. My friends and family have noticed an improvement in my activities and most important in my happiness.  For anyone who is looking for a place to go, I feel the office is not only friendly but efficient too."

- Beverly S.

"We just wanted to thank the doctor and the staff for the wonderful care you have given us.

My husband and I came in because we both had back pain and we were unable to sleep longer than 4 hours a night.  The doctors were able to adjust us back to good health.  Thank you again."

- Paul and Susie S.

"It is my pleasure to write this letter on behalf of Gonstead Chiropractic.  The doctor there has been my chiropractor for about four years now, and in that time it would not be an exaggeration to say that he has kept me upright and on my feet.  If it were not for him I would be in a different line of work.  Let me explain…

I am a golf professional…which is to say I have a bad back.  Those two things are necessarily linked.  The twisting and torque that I put on my spine every day is excessive.  When you consider that a golf pro puts that unusual stress on his back two to three hundred times a day – every day – you begin to see the problem.  My back was literally starting to break down.  The doctor arrested that problem and alleviated my pain, allowing me to continue in the profession that I love.

Gonstead Chiropractic is not my first chiropractor.  I had another to whom I was faithful for many years.  One thing always bothered me though…his treatment was always the same.  Regardless of my problem, so far as I could tell, he used the same treatment every time.  Sometimes I felt a lot better, sometimes only a little.
           
This doctor, on the other hand, diagnoses the condition of my spine (shoulder, ankle) each time I come in.  I have confidence that he knows what the problem is each time (and yes, the problems and the treatment differ from one time to the next).  I feel confident that the appropriate action is being taken.  I feel better physically as a result.
           
As a teaching professional, I know that what I offer the student is unique, reflecting a lifetime of study and an unusual ability to teach that is God-given.  I know that most students will do better with me than with most teaching professionals. In other words, all teach professionals are NOT alike and do not offer the same benefits and results.
           
By the same token, all chiropractors are not alike.  The doctor at Gonstead Chiropractic is so highly thought of that the Gonstead organization, which is national in scope, frequently calls on him to teach seminars to their chiropractors in other cities.  He is very highly esteemed on the national level.
           
I feel very fortunate to have him as my personal ally in my fight to stay healthy and active.  If you choose him as your chiropractor, you’ll be fortunate too."

"When I first came to your office I had lower back and leg pain for many, many years, especially when walking.  This pain was a 5 on a scale from 1-10 which I experienced 75% of the time.  This pain kept me from doing the things that I love like exercising, bowling, and gardening with my flowers.  In addition, my sleep was affect 2 hours per night.  Before I came to see you, I spent a lot of money on cortisone shots, MRI, Aleve, Doan’s Back Pain Relief, and Tylenol.

Since starting care, I don’t have the morning pain when I get out of bed every morning and I feel great.  I can’t say enough about the DRX 9000.  In addition, my friends and family have noticed a great improvement in my walking, not limping and walking for a longer period of time without having to rest.  I would like to say that the office is very friendly, considerate and helpful."

- Olga S.

"When I first came into your office I could hardly move around.  Bending and standing was painful for me and I was in pain 75% of the day.  My pain prevented me from doing projects and chores around my house, playing with my kids, cooking for my family, just about everything.  When I was at home the only relief I found was sitting in my lazy boy chair.   When I was required to do a walk through at work that would be enough to put me in pain for the rest of the day.  Before decompression treatments I could only sleep in my lazy boy chair at night.  I tried everything to relieve my pain: MD’s, medications, therapies, surgery, heat and ice packs.  Thousands of dollars were spent to relieve my pain, but nothing worked.  I noticed a significant improvement in pain relief the moment I got off the decompression unit for the first time.  I noticed that when I walked around my home or at work the pain was not as persistent as before.  My family and friends noticed that I am doing a lot better because I am participating in more activities now.  I keep telling my family and friends how much better I feel.  The staff at Gonstead Family Chiropractic were friendly and supportive during my decompression treatments."

- Mark Hardy

"When I first came to the office, I had chronic, constant pain in my neck and upper back.  I experienced the pain 100% of the time.  I had a stabbing pain in my neck whenever I would move it.  I noticed that the pain kept me from lifting weights or working out as much.  I would wake up at night because of the pain and find it difficult to go back to sleep.  Since starting treatment on the decompression unit, I have increased range of motion and flexibility.  I am now able to work out regularly.  In addition, my friends and family have noticed that I am more cheerful."

- John D.

"I wanted to thank you for such a professional report and incredibly informative documents that I have received from Gonstead Family and Dr. Granger.  I am very glad we did both chemical and pharmacoactive with the food panels as it gave me a much greater picture. 
I have been able to tie in with this report our knowledge and understanding of Feingold diet that we have been on for years and interestingly enough a year ago we went away on holidays for the first time with our son, when we did his enuresis stopped and I have worked very hard to understand why.  I knew that allergies are the number one sign of enuresis but try to tell a medical doctor that ( ugh).  When I pulled some of the major reds ( from the test) out of my son’s diet, the enuresis has now stopped again.  For a child who is 9, I can’t tell you what that has done to his esteem.  More so, I look at it in a biological way in inflammation, this means less toxic inflammation.  How wonderful is that! Thank you for having given me answers I have been asking for, all my son’s life."

I have literally tried every diet, expecting most of them to fail as they all did for me at least, but this diet has been amazing and it really works. Honestly I was skeptical that this diet would fail as all the others had but after the first week is was so easy to stay on and be successful on that I looked forward to getting on the scale everyday.

If I could just keep on this until I lose all the weight I want I would but all I can do now is count the days until I can start my next round. I lost 30 pounds and a total of 15 inches, for me seeing the results was awesome.

- Lisa

I finally found a diet that was right for me. A diet that makes it very black and white about what can be eaten, a diet that makes it very clear on how not to cheat. I told myself that Phase 2 was like a detox, only I didn’t feel hungry. I felt myself getting healthier and my tests at the doctor’s office validated how I was feeling.  I am also pleased that many cravings for artificial sweetners and diet soda have disappeared altogether. I also appreciate fruits and vegetables much more these days. I lost over 30 lbs after finishing Phase 2. After 20 years of trying every diet out there, I found one that I was able to stick with and feel motivated on.

-T.S.

I couldn’t be more thrilled with my new body and new clothes to fit it!!!! I feel great! Thank you for all the support at Gonstead Family! I have lost even more weight because I am exercising 5 days a week. I swim and do Pilates. I am so happy with my new body and I eat a ton. ( A ton of healthy food) I do break loose and have some cake on occasion. Thank you for everything!! You helped me become a more confident person.

-Jessica

I want to share my experience with you. I have tried most of the diets out there with little success.

I tried the hCG diet and lost 22 lbs. It was not difficult staying on the limited food during the diet when I saw the pounds coming off. It was difficult eating all the calories as I was not hungry.

Since being off the diet and the re-entry phase, I can now eat anything and still I am not gaining it back. I can go to the gym again without hurting myself because of the additional weight I carried around.

Several positive side effects: I no longer want sugar in my diet and it is not a conscious decision as I have a desk drawer full of little candy bars that was my incentive to get thru the diet. I have no desire to eat them.


I am looking forward to the second round which I will start in a few weeks. I want to lose another 15-20 pounds.

It sounds very restrictive, but the diet made me feel healthy again.
