Asthma
" I was
diagnosed with Asthma in 1999. For almost
one year I would wake up in the morning
almost unable to breathe. I was taking
Singular and using an Inhaler for this
problem. I went to see Dr. Benner in
February of 2000 for mid-back pain. I had
no idea that the pain in my back and my
breathing differently were connected. Dr.
Benner explained to me that my nervous
system was stuck in stress/emergency mode
and that was disrupting my sleep.
After my first week of care my back pain
and my asthma were getting better at the
same time. My asthma was completely gone
after 12 weeks. I am so thankful this
helped because not being able to breathe
is a terrifying experience and it made me
feel helpless. It was great that I
happened to be in the right place at the
right time."

Back
and Shoulder
Pain
"Back in
1999 I was experiencing a lot of back and
shoulder pain and was going to any
chiropractor I could find. One day my
husband and I went to get the oil changed
in our car and I was in so much pain I
could hardly breathe. I told my husband
(Brian) I have to do something right now!
Turn here, I'll see if they take walk-ins.
Well, thankfully they did. And I have been
going to Dr. Benner ever since! The method
he performed on me was called B.E.S.T.
That was new for me, but I am walking
proof it works! Not only that, but it has
allowed me to take the tools Dr. Benner
has taught me and use them to improve my
life on an everyday basis. I have learned
that sure, you might lift something wrong
or sleep wrong, but the problem goes
deeper than that. Dr. Benner helped me
understand what was causing my pain. Of
course, I didn't get the way I was feeling
over night. So, it has taken a little
patience on my part to realize I wasn't
going to be cured overnight, either. To
think, I went to get my oil changed in my
car and ended up changing my life forever!
Thank you."

Breach
Birth
Complications
"Julie is
the youngest of my four children and she
was born breach. For the first six months
of her life she had the following
symptoms: she was colicky every night; she
could not lay her head on my shoulder
without fussing and she could not ride in
a car seat without crying. I had no idea
that her crying and fussing was from pain.
After five months of insufficient weight
gain and expensive formula, the
pediatrician suspected something was wrong
and wanted to schedule a CT scan. I was
concerned about having Julie put under
anesthesia at six months of age for this
procedure. I was ready to try just about
anything after six months of little sleep
for my husband and myself.
At this time my sister-in-law suggested
that I take Julie to Dr. Benner. I had
never heard of chiropractic care for
children. When I met Dr. Benner I felt
very much at ease with the careful
attention he gave Julie. After the first
week of adjustments Julie was sleeping
through the night and was no longer
colicky. What a relief! After the second
week she could lay her head on my shoulder
and sit in the car seat without crying.
After the third week she started gaining
weight significantly and the pediatrician
was equally impressed with the results. I
would personally like to thank Dr. Benner
for taking the time to acquire the skills
and knowledge of chiropractic care for
children. I greatly appreciate the care,
concern and gentleness that he has with
all of my children. I hope this testimony
will be an encouragement for other mothers
to consider chiropractic care for their
children."

Colitis
"I was diagnosed with
ulcerative colitis at age six. After
suffering for seven years with
uncontrollable bleeding they removed my
large intestines. That took care of the
bleeding, however, food continued to pass
through my body undigested. Additional
surgeries were performed. I tried
acupuncture, nutritional supplements and
nothing seemed to work.
The medical doctors were happy that the
bleeding stopped, however, the colitis
problem didn't change at all.
At age 37, I went to a chiropractor. My
body started to change. I felt stronger,
had more energy, etc. but the colitis
problem continued.
I started the B.E.S.T. procedure three
months ago, and the colitis started to
change. My bowels started to form more
consistently and my nerves were settling
down. This is the most normal and relaxed
my nervous system has felt since age
6.
I am definitely responding to stress much
differently. I am looking forward to how
much progress I will continue to
experience."

Digestive
Distress, Hormonal
Imbalance
"I have used
chiropractic care all of my life. It
always helped give me immediate relief,
especially with pain and tension in the
neck and shoulder area. Unfortunately, the
relief from an adjustment would only last
for a week or sometimes only a day.
Although I was receiving 'standard'
chiropractic care, my body, over the past
six years basically shut down. I couldn't
handle stress, I couldn't digest food, I
couldn't sleep any more.
When I met Dr. Benner and he discussed the
concept of timing imbalance, I knew that
he was going to be able to help me. Two
months later I became a patient and
received my first B.E.S.T. adjustment.
Immediately I felt lighter, within two
hours my stomach discomfort was gone and I
had energy again. Within one week my sleep
cycle returned to normal and I had my
first normal menstrual cycle in over ten
years. I have stopped all of the
medications for my digestive problems and
I have cut my other medications in
half.
I am excited and thankful that I am
getting my health back. This is a
procedure that I want my entire family to
benefit from."

Fibromyalgia
"I was diagnosed with
Fibromyalgia in 1996. I was unable to
work, had no energy; in the morning I felt
run over by a truck. I could only be up
for short periods of time and then I would
have to go back to bed. I lived in a
constant state of exhaustion; had constant
muscle aches and the pain would move
around.
As soon as I started getting adjusted and
I started taking Alka Green, I didn't need
to rest as often. I am now able to go most
days without need to rest. My sleep has
improved, the chronic pain has lessened
considerably. I am now able to exercise
without pain, whereas before exercise
would wipe me out for a full day.
My body is more balanced, I am exercising
and resting better and I am feeding my
body healthier food. As a result, I'm no
longer on blood pressure or cholesterol
medication.
I can attribute many factors to my
success. The B.E.S.T. procedure is
definitely at the top of the list."

Indigestion,
Fatigue, Severe Sinus
Headaches
"When I
first met Dr. Benner I had suffered from
indigestion, fatigue and severe sinus
headaches for 10 years. Previously I had
tried to deal with the symptoms by taking
Rolaids and all kinds of sinus medication.
Still I wasn't able to do everything that
I wanted because I had headaches, stomach
aches or was just plain exhausted. Let's
face it, not being able to enjoy myself,
because I was too tired to go anywhere,
was taking a lot out of my quality of
life.
At Dr. Benner's suggestion I totally and
completely changed my diet. The first
thing I did was to eliminate dairy. Since
then I have not had a single sinus
headache. Now I am able to tolerate a
little but when I overindulge I know it
immediately. The next thing I drastically
cut back on was wheat. I couldn't believe
the difference. With elimination of excess
wheat and properly combining my foods I
have so much energy and no longer need any
type of antacid. This is the healthiest
and happiest I have ever been. Now I want
to tell everyone how much Dr. Benner has
helped me. I truly feel I am a new
person!
Working for Dr. Benner and learning about
Chiropractic has made a huge impact on my
life. I have learned how to meet my
nutritional needs and have never felt
better. Through the B.E.S.T. technique, I
have experienced relief from symptoms that
have bothered me all of my adult life. I
have also learned how to handle life's
stresses without the huge ups and downs I
have experienced in the past."

Low
Back
Pain
"I have been
troubled off and on for 30 years with
lower back pain. This has cost me
thousands of dollars and weeks of
productivity. I had tried heating pads,
cold packs and bed rest. Recently, after
experiencing three very painful days, a
friend referred me to Dr. Benner. In one
treatment, pain was relieved so that I
remained free of pain not for one hour,
but for the entire very busy weekend. . .
two full days and nights. I could sit for
an hour and get up without pain. I had no
pain upon rising after a night's sleep.
Plus, I experienced monumental improvement
in a bladder incontinence problem. I have
never been more amazed in my life!"

Migraine
Headaches
"After
suffering well over thirty years with
migraine headaches, I had run out of
options and could no longer take the
anti-migraine shots and pills. The
headaches were severe, debilitating, and
coming two times a week! Over my lifetime
I had been told they were hereditary, due
to allergies, worsened by a rear-ender car
wreck and I had to avoid a long list of
food and additives to stay well. However,
none of the medical treatments helped
much, including diets, drugs, trigger
point injections and other injections.
As an RN I had a false impression of
modern chiropractic treatment. Never would
I have expected such a gentle technique as
the B.E.S.T. technique to produce such
dramatic results. It has helped me to
reduce my headaches by having fewer
episodes -- now just one or two a month!
Going two weeks without a headache was a
miracle! They are much milder and he has
taught me techniques to interrupt the
headache as I feel it beginning. Thanks to
Dr. Benner and all the staff!"

Nutritional
Needs
"Knowing I had nutritional
needs, I was tested in July 1999. Many
systems in my body tested low in vitality.
The biggest problem was my joints, but
since I was diagnosed with arthritis at
age 13, this was no surprise. I noticed
results immediately after I began to take
the recommended nutrients. The pain and
swelling decreased in my joints. My skin
was no longer irritated and my digestive
system began to function normally.
The nutritional products balanced my
hormonal system and I began holding my
B.E.S.T. adjustments longer. The increase
in energy that I received has been
unbelievable. After two weeks of using
products such as cartilage enhancer,
cal-mag-potassium, fish oil, Vitamin C,
Biotin, MSM (sulfur), sea kelp, hydrilla
(1 capsule equals 1 pound of greens) and
aloe vera juice, all the systems in my
body had increased in vitality, my joints
by 500%! This is the first time I have
been pain free since I was age 13. I am
overwhelmed with excitement over the vast
improvement in my health."

Posture
"I have been seeing Dr. Benner off and on
for the past 10 years. I have had neck and
low back pain, however, my main complaint
over the years has been pain and stiffness
between my shoulders. I have also been
concerned about my posture, my shoulders
round forward and I'm constantly reminding
myself to sit up straight.
An adjustment between my shoulders would
almost always give me relief but it didn't
seem to last very long. About two years
ago, Dr. Benner started talking to me
about why the muscles between my shoulders
were always tight. He would give me a
B.E.S.T. adjustment but I still wanted him
to do a spinal manipulation. I would come
in about once a month and it seemed the
tension would always be back.
About three weeks ago Dr. Benner convinced
me to receive six B.E.S.T. adjustments in
a row without spinal manipulation. He
assured me that we would deal with the
cause of the stiffness and that I would
notice changes. I grew up with
chiropractic adjustments so getting only
soft tissue adjustments was a hard
decision. I trusted Dr. Benner's judgment
and I'm so glad I did. My back muscles
have never been more relaxed. I know
something released and I felt it in my
back. Immediately after my first B.E.S.T.
only adjustment, I completely lost my
craving for sweets after a meal. I thought
that was amazing. My posture has improved
and it has felt wonderful. I know that my
body responds the best to a B.E.S.T.
adjustment."

Sciatic
and Low Back
Pain
"For about four months I had
been suffering with sciatic and low back
pain. It was keeping me awake at night and
it was keeping me from any normal
activities. There were some days I could
not walk without extreme pain. I felt
disabled and as concerned that my life
would never be the same. I had tried ice,
heat, painkillers, stretching and some
traditional chiropractic treatments with
no success. I also had an MRI done which
showed no abnormality. During these four
months, I was off of work most of the time
and had no income. Something had to be
done.
Immediate relief began on my first visit
with Dr. Benner. Gradually I was able to
return to all of my normal activities,
which includes managing my two therapy
practices in Phoenix and Tucson, working
out five times a week and being able to
return to social activities with my family
and friends. I now sleep through the night
without waking from pain. Not only have my
symptoms disappeared, but now I feel
healthier and more optimistic than I have
felt in years. I now make B.E.S.T. part of
my normal health regimen with maintenance
visits even when I feel great!"

Stress
"For years I
have suffered with low back pain, neck
pain and shoulder stiffness. Stress has
been the main cause for my back and
shoulder pain. Since I am a Type A person,
it has not been easy for me to release the
tension. A few years ago I was involved in
an automobile accident. I went to a
chiropractor for a year after and received
regular spinal manipulations. The regular
spinal manipulations did not seem to help.
They would last for about two weeks at the
most. When I came to see Dr. Benner, he
adjusted me using the B.E.S.T. technique.
Within one month of being adjusted using
the B.E.S.T. technique, I noticed positive
results and felt so much better. In fact,
I came into Dr. Benner's office one day
with terrible pain in my lower back. The
pain was so intense that it was
uncomfortable to sit or stand. After my
B.E.S.T. adjustment I walked out pain
free. I have also had stomach problems in
the past. I noticed that following Dr.
Benner's nutritional advice helps me feel
better."

Swollen
Ankle
"I have been adjusted for as
long as I can remember. Once, my foot and
ankle were so stiff and swollen I couldn't
run and could barely walk. What was weird
was that I didn't injure my ankle, it just
got more and more swollen.
That night my Dad adjusted me and
immediately I felt better. The next day I
was able to run almost 100% with little
pain. The next day it felt normal.
Through the adjustment I was able to
realize that there was an upset that I
needed to work through. As I did my body
felt better and better. It's great to have
a Dad who's a chiropractor."

Swollen
Knee
"I first went to Dr. Benner because
swelling in my knee had developed and was
limiting my ability to walk, bend and
exercise. It was painful all the time. The
B.E.S.T. method allowed my body to heal
completely and now my left knee works and
feels the same as my right knee.
What was amazing to me is that Dr. Benner
only worked on my knee a couple of times.
Stress and tension accumulated in the left
leg and when that tension pattern was
handled, my body was able to heal. I now
use the B.E.S.T. method to stay balanced.
It is an excellent service and an
excellent method."
