Having recently moved to
Sincerely,
Michelle S.
(Yoga Instructor and Yoga Therapist)
In October of 2008 I suffered a severe lower back strain six days
before a half marathon. I could barely walk let alone even think about
jogging 13.1 miles in six days. Dr. Sikora was able to treat me by
readjusting my spine and providing for me electrical heat therapy. On
the Saturday of that week I ran my second fastest half marathon ever.
I couldn't believe it. I did not even feel that much pain during the
race, and a half marathon involves lots of pounding on the body, and
consists of hills which naturally puts stress on the joints. The
bottom line is that he delivered, and was able to adjust to my
particular situation. I highly recommend his services, as he will help
your body heal itself naturally, sufficienly, and in some cases, rather
quickly.
Regarding Your Improvement:
1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
I was in constant pain with no success from my routine of stretching and exercising (Yoga). It took great pains for me just to hold my head up, which usually took more effort than just letting it lean forward. Consequently I ended up slouching forward. I was also very limited with my side to side movement (head turning) due to pain. For over one year, I was experiencing numbness and tingling in my right hand, using a wrist splint every night at bedtime.
2. How is it now?
Overall, I am about 98% relieved. I feel like a different person. I walk with my head up with no effort. I am able to do Yoga about three to four times a week, and I’m getting better with that! Eventually, we were going to address my right wrist with the constant tingling- but that was resolved itself during the course of my therapy!!

Regarding Your Improvement:
1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
Before attending the Center for Holistic Medicine, I would have considered my overall health to be poor. I had severe back pain that limited everyday tasks such as sneezing, tying my shoes and any bending. After seeing several medical doctors about my condition with no improvement, my overall outlook began to diminish as well. I felt a feeling of despair for the future.
2. How is it now?
Since being treated by Dr. Sikora and the entire staff at CFHM my back pain is virtually non-existent. Routine activities no longer are a cause of pain. I also workout three days a week with no pain. My new-found feeling of well being has given me a great outlook towards the future and has inspired me to seek a career in holistic medicine.

Regarding Your Improvement:
1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
When I came to see Dr. James and Dr. Sikora in March 2006, I felt sluggish, low energy, and exhausted by early afternoon Memory was poor and my shoulder and neck were very stiff and I experienced loss of mobility. I had severe tendonitis in my left wrist that I took Ibuprofen three times a day.
2. How is it now?
It has been a year that I have been working with Dr. James for my over-all health. Using whole food supplements and changing my diet, I have more energy, memory has improved and I feel good. I am under the care of Dr. Sikora for my neck, shoulders, and left wrist. Through a steady program, I have good mobility in my neck and my shoulders. My wrist is almost pain free.

Regarding Your Improvement:
1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
Before I came to CFHM, I enjoyed good health, except for the occasional headache, sometimes migraine type. I had been taking a prescription beta blocker for the migraines for 20 years and decided I wanted to be drug-free. After stopping that prescription drug, I wanted to find what is best for my body makeup. I came here because I want my next years to be healthy and better.
2. How is it now?
Since being drug free, I have not had a headache of any kind-including sinus/allergy. I have not taken even an aspirin and lost 10 pounds (something that I needed but wasn’t a priority). I want to take the supplements that benefit my chemistry type and keep my body operating the way God designed me.

Regarding Your Improvement:
1. What was it like before you came to see us?
Before I came to CFHM, I had severe neck and shoulder pain that resulted in migraine headaches that were increasing in intensity and frequency. As a result, I would be incapacitated for several days a month.
2. How is it now?
I am so much better now. I haven’t had a headache for over two months and am much more flexible and am not constantly worrying about getting, having, or getting over a headache and neck pain.

Regarding Your Improvement:
1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
I was experiencing bloating, gas, loose bowl movements, and extreme fatigue, especially in the morning. I also was not sleeping well. My gynecologist had recently diagnosed me with severe osteoporosis at age 56 and wanted to put me on medication. I was looking for a natural approach to reverse my bone loss.
2. How is it now?
After completing the purification program, I noticed how much better I felt and that my bowel movements, gas, and bloating had improved. Since I have been taking my needed supplements, I feel improvement every week in my energy level and my quality of sleep. With the metabolic diet I follow, I am never hungry. I have also lost inches and weight with this program.

Work-related back injury that was causing constant pain and stiffness, lack of mobility, loss of flexibility.
2. How is it now?
Greatly improved. Relief started within a few days. Pain is mild and manageable, some stiffness remaining. Flexibility is almost normal.

Dear Dr. James,
I am grateful you chose to set up your practice in the
I believe in good patient care and rely on Chiropractic as do many of my patients. I have come to realize the benefits and now have somewhere to offer my patients who want to stay in good health: Your Clinic.
Since 95 I’ve had several injuries though some were threatening have always been helped by Chiropractic, massage, and rehab in the past.
A year ago I suffered a freak accident at the hand of a Dr. Since it has had four area Chiropractors stumped. I even began to think there was no hope of recovery from this one. I had abandoned my social life but now my career was also threatened.
You worked patiently one area at a time in the three areas of concern in order of importance. I got relief from the first visit. Within three or four visits the entire mystery had unraveled and I was pain free.
My job is no longer threatening me on a daily basis nor is the work load bogging me down at the end of the week. I am able to work with better postural mechanics and any spasms or tightness is relieved as it should be normally.
On my worst day I seriously identified with my worst patients. That is why I am now confident that there is hope for them as well in your care.
A few months ago I hesitated stairs and even walking large parking lots. I am happy to report I can now even dance or leap if I wish to.
My patients have already started calling in and thanking me for telling them about you and also about the relief the have already gotten.
God Bless you in all you endeavor with your practice.
Sincerely,
Michele G., M.T.
Regarding Your Improvement:
1. What was it like before you came in to see us?
I have had Achilles tendonitis so severely that an orthopedic doctor told me I could never take long walks again. Arthritis made getting up out of chairs or bed painful. I groaned a lot!
2. How is it now?
After two weeks in detox, I took an hour hike at Quail Hollow, expecting to be in pain for several days. Surprise! No pain! I’ve been walking almost every day now, no pain in the morning. I feel like I’m getting my life back!
