“I have just returned from a trip to New York City, where I spent four days walking, shopping, and sightseeing almost nonstop. Six months ago, I would have experienced intense pain in my shoulders, neck, and back.  After receiving chiropractic adjustments, electrical stimulation, and massage on a regular schedule, I have very little pain. I am so grateful to the Imagine Wellness staff for their excellent care and skill, and for decreasing my pain and allowing me to increase my activity.”

“From Thanksgiving to Christmas, Joby had 4-5 ear infections.  He’d been on 5 antibiotics and was told that tubes would need to be put in his ears.  We decided to have Joby see a chiropractor for treatment.  He had great success with Dr. Clare.  No tubes are needed!”

“Upon awaking on a Monday morning, a knot was hurting under my left shoulder blade. ‘Cricks are something I have had all my life off and on, so I wasn’t alarmed and figured the pain would go away soon and I would tough it out. Well, it didn’t go away, so I went to the ER looking for some kind of relief. As expected, I was prescribed the usual – muscle relaxers and pain medication, and told to rest. After five days, I was still hurting, and the area of pain had grown up my back into my neck and also my scalp. Once again, I went to the emergency room, and once again I was told it would take time. I am a RN and have always been a doubting Thomas when it comes to chiropractors and only went because my parents made the appointment for me. My mom and daughter watched as adjusted me…I was so sore and hurting but something amazing happened! I could immediately turn my head from side to side with very little discomfort. I really couldn’t believe it. Remember how amazed you were the first time you saw [magician] David Blaine levitate out on the street? That is exactly how I felt after my first adjustment.”

“Within the last two months, my life has changed! I am pain free! When I first came to Dr. Stewart, I had been in pain for several months; I had given up on conventional medicine and techniques. I can honestly tell you that having alternative medicine seemed threatening to me. Now I have a whole new respect for it!”

“In the month of August my child LaShaunda was doing not so well.  She was released from Duke Children’s Hospital. God has blessed us with Dr. Stewart. I as a mother was praying and crying for God to please help me, to please send me to a doctor that will help us. Now since we have been coming here LaShaunda can sleep well. At one time, she could not sleep. But now she is doing a lot better. Thank God for Dr. Stewart.”

“After starting to come to the Stewart’s Wellness Center, I had a pain level between 7 and 8. After just two weeks in my back and kidney area, the pain level was down to about a 3. This was probably the best day that I’ve had in a year.”

Deloris Green, Durham NC

“I can walk without bending in half because of the pain in my lower back! I call that a miracle and I thank God for leading me to Dr. Stewart. This weekend I attended my husband’s family reunion and enjoyed being with people. This may not seem like such a great thing, but in past years this was a chore rather than the fun it should have been. This year I really had a great time. I am determined not to give up and I appreciate the encouragement I receive in Dr. Stewart’s office.”

“I was unlucky in falling down at a Cracker Barrel restaurant, but lucky to have met 2 wonderful doctors – Dr. Clare and Dr. Stewart who went beyond their duties and got me out of pain and able to function at my job and in my personal life. It was during Christmas, and they came in on 2 Saturdays beside my regular visits during the week. I don’t know what I would have done without them. I fully recommend their services 100%.

“I can truthfully say coming to see Dr. Dave and Dr. Clare has helped me. When I started coming in February, I could not sleep at night, bend down, or turn my head. This was due to a fall I had in January. When I came here I was a mess. Now I can sleep through the night and the pain is tolerable. Dr. Dave, Dr. Clare, and the rest of the staff are absolutely wonderful. They care about you and your health. And I was impressed they knew my name every time I came in. God bless you all, and may He continue to bless you with the power of healing. I know I have more healing to come. But I am looking forward to having you help me through it.

Linda B. Wright, Durham NC

When I arrived at the doorstep of Dr. Clare and Dr. Stewart in January I was in such excruciating pain that I could not even sit upright in a chair. When I called them on my doctor’s recommendation I told them that I had never been to a chiropractor before. When I described the kind of pain I was in they told me to come over that same day. They immediately sent me for x-rays before they determined a treatment plan which included acupuncture which I had never tried either. I admitted to them I was skeptical they could help me but I have not regretted the decision for one moment. Because of their help and guidance over the past 2 years I can happily say that I am pain free today. I cannot recommend the Carolina Spine and Complementary Medicine group more highly to anyone who is seeking a healthier and pain-free life!”

“Three months ago I woke up, tried to yawn, and heard a loud pop in my right jaw. After that I knew I had a problem because I had TMJ in my early 20s. I went to the dentist who recommended several things: sending me to a specialist, a bite guard, and possibly dental implants. I was sent to another doctor who specializes in facial pain. He recommended the same things that the dentist did, and was not able to help me. While getting a crown put on a cracked tooth, the dental assistant asked me if I had ever tried a chiropractor for the TMJ. I told her no, but I knew the wonders chiropractors had performed on me in the past through therapies and acupuncture. I drove to Carolina Spine and Complementary Medicine the next day to speak to see if they would be able to help me because they were the ones that relieved me of my neck and chest pain problems I had the prior year. I told them what was going on with my jaw and they saw me immediately and set up a schedule for regular treatments. Within 3 weeks I was able to chew again. I can open my mouth wider than I was able to. I still have some grinding in the jaw but there really is not anything that I can’t eat and when I yawn I sometimes forget and open my mouth and it doesn’t stick anymore. I was in a lot of pain before my chiropractic treatments and couldn’t hardly eat anything and now I can eat a salad again, potato chips and even chew grapes. I recommend chiropractors for anyone dealing with pain.”
