Headaches
Liz L.
For eight months I suffered with headaches, neck pain and
dizziness. I went to two family physicians, a neurologist
and an ear specialist. I was put on medication which did not
help, it actually made me worse. I stopped driving for two
months, I was tired all the time and I didn't want to
socialize. I was on a daily diet of tylenol.
Since I've been under chiropractic care with Dr. Ron McAlister, my dizziness
has been reduced and my headaches have almost been
eliminated. I get them once every two weeks v.s. daily.
Chiropractic Care is a "DRUG FREE" option that works!!
Shelly M.
I had suffered with headaches every couple of days with constant neck pain for
2 1/2 years. I felt the headaches came from the position of my neck. I also
experienced muscle aches, low back pain and fatigue. The headaches often
interfered with work and I was uncomfortable with sitting. I am young and active
but was feeling very tired! Overall exhaustion!
I tried other types of treatment, but was unsatisfied
with the care and results. I often used Advil or other mild
painkillers to keep the headaches under control.
Since having care with Dr. Ron McAlister, I have had
relief from the headaches, muscle tension and an increase in
energy. I was previously self-conscious of my posture as
well and Dr. Ron McAlister has worked to improve this.
Although not able to follow an ideal program of care as I
was away at school, Dr. Ron McAlister achieved
fantastic results in the time he had to work with.
Terry C.
I was experiencing severe headaches, 5 - 6 times a week for a
month prior to consulting Dr. Ron McAlister. I was unable to
sleep through the night without waking up with a headache,
usually around 2-3 am. The headaches were so bad I would be
physically ill for up to 1 hour. They also interfered with
work, stopping me from working a few hours each week.
Since my first adjustment with Dr. Ron McAlister, I HAVEN 'T HAD A
SEVERE HEADACHE!! Within a week I was back to normal sleep
again and a normal life.
Dr. Ron McAlister is very friendly,
extremely helpful with care and good at explaining the
problem. The adjusting time flexibility is easy to work your
schedule around.
Dr. Ron McAlister is painless and with a very quick response
health wise!
Heloisa T.
Prior to going to see Dr. Ron McAlister
, I had constant
headaches, numbness in my hands and back pain. Sometimes I
had to stay in bed for one or two days and remain in
darkness. I had to take some time off work also.
I had these problems for many years. My eyes were
sensitive, I had tension and the worst was my neck and back
pain. I suffered through back surgery, took pain killers and
tried many therapies but I still had headaches frequently.
Since having chiropractic care, my headaches have diminished as
well as the numbness. I feel more confident and enjoy more
good moments.
Dr. Ron McAlister pays attention to me... I love him!
Chiropractic care is agreeable and the most
comfortable. I get many wonderful benefits from Dr. Ron
McAlister. Brazil
knows all about Dr. Ron McAlister.
Fiona M.
I had suffered for many years with upper back and
neck soreness which seemed to cause many migraine headaches.
The migraine headaches I had since I was 13 years old. The
back and neck pain have been hampering my general health for
almost 10 years.
I was always fearful of another migraine rendering me
practically useless for 24-48 hrs. My back was also sore and
I generally felt uncomfortable and wanted to find some
relief.
Previously, I always took prescription drugs for my
migraines and had gone to a chiropractor.
The changes I had in three months with Dr. Ron McAlister have been amazing! My body feels like it is
doing things the way it was meant to without being hindered
by previous pain and nerve compression.
Dr. Ron McAlister has empowered me to take control of my body
and mind and help it to cure itself. I feel more confident
that my headaches can be controlled and that I can return my
body to as healthy a state as is possible.
I have found Dr. Ron McAlister wonderful to
deal with. The type of health care he offers is highly
recommended by me.
Lydia C.
I first came to see Dr. Ron McAlister because I was suffering from
migraines and minor lower back pain. Migraines interfered
with my ability to concentrate at work. I had to take
numerous days off. My migraines also made it difficult to
sleep. The migraines came as often as three times a week.
I had gone to my family Doctor and we tried two types of
medication with no success. It seems my body just would not
tolerate strong medications.
Since starting care with Dr. Ron McAlister
I only get approximately one migraine a month, and sometimes
none at all. The office is such a comfortable place and
everyone is so friendly and helpful. I feel so much at ease
when I arrive.
With all the work Dr. Ron McAlister has done on my body, my
digestion has improved dramatically. I also suffer from
Irritable Bowel Syndrome and am amazed at how well I am
doing!!!
Janette L.
When I first came to see Dr. Ron McAlister, I was suffering from headaches,
sore hips, sore back, carpel tunnel and aching shoulders. I
always felt tired because I was not sleeping well. These
problems had affected me for 25 years.
I had tried chiropractic before and I had surgery for my
carpel tunnel. I also used Advil for pain. Since I started
getting chiropractic care from Dr. Ron McAlister, I don’t get
headaches anymore and my hip feels much better.
Dr. Ron McAlister is great!!! If someone was suffering
from back troubles or other health problems I would
recommend they get chiropractic care. Dr. Ron McAlister really
could solve their problems.
Janet C.
I came to see Dr. Ron McAlister because of a whiplash injury that I had 3
weeks earlier. I had constant headaches and I couldn’t move
my neck easily.
During the
initial visit, it was also discovered that my spine was
crooked in the lumbar region and my right hip was higher
than the left. The unaligned hips were from a fall as a
child, 17 years ago.
I previously
saw an orthopedist who prescribed medications to decrease
the swelling and pain.
After the
first 2 chiropractic adjustments, my headaches were gone and haven’t
returned!
Cary B.
I suffered with headaches almost every day for 3 years. I
also experienced neck pain usually 3 times per week for the
last 2 years. And for 6 months I frequently had right arm
numbness.
The
headaches, neck pain and right arm numbness made everyday
life much more difficult and exhausting.
Despite
numerous visits to my family doctor, neurologist and nerve
conduction specialists, various pain medications and
anti-depressants, none of these people or drugs helped in
any way.
Dr. Ron
McAlister helped me by taking away pain,
and making me more relaxed.
I would
recommend Dr. Ron McAlister and chiropractic care to others because it helped
me and might help others.
Cody S.
The severe
tension headaches and migraines that I suffered with
necessitated a spinal tap to check for brain inflammation.
Following the spinal tap, I experienced the severe headaches
daily along with low back pain.
I saw my
family doctor who prescribed medication. The medication
didn’t seem to help. He then referred me to see a
chiropractor.
Within the
first few chiropractic sessions with Dr. Ron McAlister, my headaches drastically
improved. Now, the headaches have totally disappeared!
Also, my low back pain from the spinal tap has also
improved.
Since
starting chiropractic care, I am able to function better at work, my
sleep has improved and I am able to socialize again. Life in
general had been unbearable and now it is so much better!
During the
chiropractic visits (adjustments) I feel relaxed and calm. Overall, I
enjoy coming into each session and Dr. Ron McAlister is
very friendly and helpful!
Neck & Back Pain
Mary-Ellen M.
I started having lower back pain and numbness in my left arm
after my first son was born. Over the last four years they progressively began
to worsen. My low back pain eventually was occurring daily. It became difficult
for me to play tennis, ski and run, which are all activities I really enjoy.
When I approached my family doctor about my pain, the
suggestion was muscle relaxants. I don't believe in drugs as
a solution, I wanted to find out the cause and treat it.
Since starting regular chiropractic care, my low back pain and arm numbness have been
completely eliminated! I HAVE MORE ENERGY AND I FEEL GREAT!!
Dr. Ron McAlister is very
professional, extremely thorough and pleasant to deal with.
My two sons and mother in law are also on a program of
regular chiropractic care!
John H.
I "threw out" my back for the 6th time, and the 2nd time within
a one month period, caused by shoveling snow. I was walking with a limp, and had
low back pain. I was unable to perform even the simplest of physical tasks.
Since I am quite active in sports, which I love to participate in, this was a
major problem.
I opted for chiropractic care because I don 't like
to "take a pill " to solve health problems. Also my wife,
Leslie, was getting great results from Dr. Ron McAlister.
My back is stronger now than it has been for several
years. This new found strength is quite noticeable when I
play hockey.
We are very impressed with Dr. Ron McAlister. Three
family members have benefited from the doctor's "healing
hands."
The office is family friendly, and the hours are flexible
to meet our various schedules.
I would absolutely recommend others to go to see Dr. Ron
McAlister.
No drugs, no surgery and great results!
Scott B.
For over 18 years I continually suffered
with reoccurring lower back pain and a stiff neck. The low
back pain made it difficult to be comfortable at work and
bothered me during sports and fitness activities. I am
positive that my lower back and stiff neck was contributing
to physical and mental exhaustion.
In the past I would generally seek therapy from massage
therapists, but I was only curing any injury at these visits
and not participating in preventative maintenance.
I feel that Dr. Ron McAlister has taken the
pain away and as a result I can sleep better and experience
increased levels of performance in physical activity.
Dr. Ron McAlister is very professional,
accommodating and committed to providing high levels of
care. The doctor took time to explain the cause, symptoms
and treatment program.
I would recommend others to go see Dr. Ron McAlister, as my wife
and I are living proof that chiropractic care
helps and it works to make the body feel good.
Nora W.
I suffered with neck pain and headaches
since childhood. Fainting spells also began while a
teenager. Throughout most of my life these problems
interfered with activities at home and work. They affected
me physically, mentally and socially.
In desperation I used 6 to 9 aspirin per day to stay
functioning. This eventually caused internal hemorrhaging
and hospitalization.
After a few adjustments with Dr. Ron McAlister, I could feel
changes taking place in my neck, legs and back. After
suffering for over 55 years, 1 month of chiropractic care resulted in a 70% improvement in my
neck pain and 80% improvement in my headaches!
If someone had told me about chiropractic care earlier I would have been able to avoid
life-threatening use of medication!
I recommend others to get chiropractic care
because it certainly has worked for me!
Olwin D.
My initial concerns were low back pain radiating into legs and
numbness. I had lived with this problem on and off for 40 years. Two previous
back operations for ruptured disc had been done in 1970 and 1975.
My mobility was affected, sometimes making movement
difficult. Back exercise helped and water exercise was very
effective.
After my first month of chiropractic care
my leg pain was 90% improved and the numbness in my leg was
70% improved. All symptoms are reduced and my mobility has
increased.
I recommend Dr. Ron McAlister to others
because of the significant improvement I have experienced.
John P.
For over 6 years I had experienced neck and low back stiffness
with restriction of motion. I also suffered with severe leg cramps at night and
morning headaches. These problems were increasing in severity and frequency
The leg cramps disturbed my sleep and I was constantly
tired.
Muscle relaxants didn't help. Frequent tylenol use helped
the headaches. But nothing lessened the frequency and
severity of the leg cramps at night. The chiropractic care I received
with Dr. Ron McAlister has greatly
improved quality of life for me. I no longer awake with a
headache. My sleep is restful as my leg cramps are becoming
much less frequent and not as severe.
I would definitely recommend other people get
chiropractic care. I have observed how beneficial
chiropractic care has been for my sister
and a friend of the family - and of tremendous benefit to
me.
Maria D.
My low back pain was interfering with my sleep. I had been
suffering for over 11 years.
Prednisone helped the leg pain I developed but the low
back pain was terrible. I was in constant pain.
I was scared to go to the chiropractor, but my son
Lizuarte, also a patient with Dr. Ron McAlister, convinced me to
come in for a consultation.
Within a month my low back was 80% improved. IT’S A
MIRACLE! I can now sleep better as I am not kept awake by
pain!
Frances G.
Sharp pains in my lower back interfered with work,
play and caring for my family. Giving my children a bath was
painful. My lower back discomfort has been a re-occurring
nuisance since a 1985 car accident, but shoveling snow last
March was the final straw.
Beginning in September 2000, I began intensive long-term
chiropractic care with the vision of
returning to a healthy, productive and active life.
Thanks to Dr. Ron McAlister, I have been able to have regular
sessions and begin my journey to full recovery.
Anibal O.
I had been suffering with severe and permanent low
back pain that had been getting worse over the last 3 years.
My back problem was affecting me at home in that I
couldn’t play with my kids. At work, I was unable to do my
daily chores. Recreational activities were also affected as
I couldn’t do sports that I enjoyed such as biking and
tennis.
Previously, I consulted my Physician and had treatment
from a Physical Therapist. On a daily basis I had to take
pain relievers and muscle relaxants.
After having chiropractic care over
the last three months with Dr. Ron McAlister, the constant pain is
almost gone. Now, when I get hurt due to a physical activity
in my job, the recovery time has been dramatically reduced.
Dr. Ron McAlister is totally professional and
friendly. And the office is a comfortable environment.
Chiropractic care works for me and best of
all it’s medicine free!
Scott K.
I had been suffering with chronic lower back pain for
several years. It got to the point that I couldn’t stand for
more than 20 minutes at a time.
My back problem was affecting me at work as standing
while doing presentations became quite difficult. Also, I
was restricted in enjoying sporting activities.
Previously, I had seen another chiropractor and did get
some relief.
After having chiropractic with
Dr. Ron McAlister, I am now pain free! I’ve also found other benefits
from care, my energy level is higher and I am sleeping
better!
Dr. Ron McAlister is very friendly and helpful.
I recommend Dr. Ron McAlister to
everyone I know! My wife and children now also see
Dr. Ron McAlister!
Chris C.
For several years I’ve had chronic back and neck pain
due to injuries as a teenager. I had consulted chiropractors
in the past, but treatment was intermittent and not
preventative. As a result my back pain and spinal curvature
were becoming progressively worse.
These problems affected me in several aspects of my life.
Long car drives would leave my right leg and hip numb;
cycling for distances was difficult because of the tightness
in my back and frequent headaches were a problem.
After becoming a regular patient with Dr. Ron McAlister, I noticed
improvements in all of my problem areas. Not only was I
having less pain and tightness, but also, my back was
beginning to straighten itself out and my overall health
improved.
Dr. Ron McAlister is very professional and
interested in getting results for his patients.
I would recommend Dr. Ron McAlister to others since I have seen such positive improvements in my
back and neck health.
Rick M.
I had daily
low back pain for about 8 years which interfered with my job
as a receiver as I was required to lift a fair bit of heavy
items. I also had right shoulder pain that limited my
workouts in the gym as I couldn’t do bench press. The
shoulder pain initially occurred
as a result of overuse
while pitching 17 years earlier.
I previously
saw another chiropractor
on a regular basis, however the pain would be back in a few
days after an adjustment.
After a 3
month program of care with Dr. McAlister, not only my low back pain is
75% improved, it has allowed me to perform my daily tasks
without pain. Also, my right shoulder pain is 100%
improved.
I sleep
better and I look forward to continuing with chiropractic
care to
become the best I can be.
Dr. Ron McAlister is very
informative and helpful.
I would
recommend others to try chiropractic care simply because it
works. Nothing I can say compares to actually experiencing
the results.
Kim J.
Since high
school, I had experienced low back pain. The pain was
excruciating and limited everything in my life. It
interfered with cooking and gardening. I stopped skating
with my kids. My sleep patterns were interrupted as I had to
get up several times a night to walk around.
Tylenol had
become my friend. I would be taking upwards of 8 tylenol a
day. My Family Physician prescribed anti-inflammatories
that worked at the time but the pain would resume as soon as
the prescription was finished.
Since
starting chiropractic treatments, I have
been pain-free for about 5 ½ months! My husband has noticed
that I have not bought pain medication in a long time.
Dr. Ron McAlister is professional
and shows tremendous compassion for his
patients.
I was
introduced to Dr. Ron McAlister by a friend and yes I was skeptical, but I
was also tired of living a partial existence.
Chiropractic care
gave me back my mobility and confidence. I travel a lot with
my family and while they enjoyed all kinds of activities I
was always on the sidelines because I did not want to have
back pain for days. Now I can honestly say that I am the one
suggesting the activities. I enjoy a full night’s sleep and
can now stand in my kitchen for hours preparing meals. I
love to cook!
Shoulder / Arm Pain
Merell G.
For six months I had pain. I consulted Dr. Ron
McAlister
because of pain in my left shoulder. I couldn’t sleep on my
left side, blow drying my hair hurt and I couldn’t lift
anything with my left arm.
My family doctor prescribed Arthrotec which upset my
stomach, and physio therapy which didn’t help either. After
seeing Dr. Ron McAlister, within one month I could
use my arm again and within two months I was pain free and
have remained that way! Dr. Ron McAlister is caring and
professional.
Dr. Ron McAlister helped me when nothing
else would. I recommend Dr. Ron McAlister care to others.
Lucy M.
When I consulted with Dr. Ron
McAlister I had
constant pain down my arm, across the back of my neck and in
my elbow. I felt miserable and couldn’t enjoy the long walks
I liked to take. My physician prescribed pain medication
which I did not feel comfortable taking because I knew it
was not a cure but rather a cover up for the problem.
Chiropractic care - Wow - slowly
fixed the problem, relieved the pain and now I am able to
walk for one hour three times a week without problems. My
elbow no longer hurts and my neck pain is gone.
Dr. Ron McAlister is very nice and
friendly. He is very concerned about ME.
I can’t believe the difference chiropractic care has made in my life, not to be in constant
discomfort. My body feels more lighter and more flexible.
I’m so glad I found Dr. Ron McAlister!
Anne W.
I had been suffering with neck and shoulder pain over
the last 2 1/2 years following a car accident. I also had
low back pain that had been sporadic for many years after a
fall.
The pain sapped my energy so all aspects of my life were
affected. It interfered with sleeping which also affected
everything as well.
For the neck injury I went for physio and massage therapy
for several months after the accident. I then tried another
chiropractor (with major adjusting ), on a regular basis
with lots of heat therapy, all with poor results. Actually I
was in more pain than before!
After having just ONE adjustment with Dr. Ron McAlister, the
pain left my shoulder! I felt like I was walking on air when
I left the office.
The methods that Dr. Ron McAlister uses are very gentle
and worked immediately for me.
I highly recommend Dr. Ron McAlister.

Leg
Pain (Sciatica)
James C.
For the past 4 years I experienced
left sciatic (leg) pain and numbness that was somewhat
constant. I also suffered with constant low back pain for a
year and a half.
The pain and numbness was frustrating
and interfered with all areas of my life.
To deal with the pain I was using
morphine & celebrex for 4 years.
I had previous physiotherapy which was
relaxing but the benefits were only short term.
With Dr. Ron McAlister,
I noticed some immediate improvement. After 3
months of care my left sciatic pain is 99% improved and my
low back pain is 80% improved. I have not needed to use
morphine for over a month!
I feel better, but I know there is a
lot I need to do as well to decrease toxins and personal
stress.
Dr. Ron McAlister is very caring and
professional.
I would
recommend Dr. Ron McAlister and chiropractic care to others. You get
educated about your body and lifestyle and how it reacts.
It makes you think and you become more aware.
Emilia R.
I initially was experiencing sciatic nerve pain. I was in a
lot of pain and couldn’t move. It was effecting every
aspect of my life.
I had tried to get relief with a heating pad and massage.
Dr. Ron McAlister, was awesome! Not only is
the pain gone but coming to Dr. Ron McAlister helped me understand the
cause – stress. The stress management offered here is key!
My experience has been wonderful.
I would recommend Dr. Ron McAlister and chiropractic care to others as it has
really made a difference in my life and quality of life.
Knee & Foot Pain
Peter J.
Before I came to see Dr. Ron McAlister, I had constant pain in
my knees and my heels. I couldn’t participate in sports and
walking for any distance was a definite problem. This had
been going on for three years.
I saw my family Doctor and he recommended trying
physiotherapy. So I did. Then I met with
Dr. Ron McAlister. After just two months of chiropractic care I saw an amazing
difference!
I would definitely recommend trying chiropractic care, after all it worked for me!
Asthma
Lloyd W.
I consulted with Dr. Ron McAlister because I had asthma and related allergies. I had these problems since I was about two years old and now I’m nine.
I had to use medication for my asthma attacks. I’ve seen medical Doctors, been to asthma clinics and used medications to help me.
Since having chiropractic care, I HAVEN’T HAD AN ASTHMA ATTACK
THIS YEAR AT ALL!! I have not needed my puffers as much and I feel much
better. Dr. Ron McAlister is great.
Chiropractic care makes you feel better. Your spine is VERY important for all over health. I had a bad curve in my neck and it’s almost back to normal!
Allergies
Jack L.
Because of my back pain, I had trouble walking. Once every 3 months it felt like my back “slipped out” and I would have to lie on a hard floor and sleep in a reclining chair.
Since starting chiropractic care with Dr. Ron McAlister, I have had only one low back episode in 18 months and my back feels stronger!
Chiropractic care not only helps get rid of back pain, it can definitely boost your immune system!
I suffered with sinus problems and headaches, 2 or 3 times a month and used nasal spray and aspirin to keep functioning. My sinuses drain better now and I have had only one cold in the last 18 months.
The office has a quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
Stomach/Digestion
Shanon
K.
I suffered with
severe stomach pain on my right side. I would wake up in the middle of the
night with diarrhea and vomiting lasting approximately 2 hours – with lasting
effects throughout the next day.
Being up
during the night, I was very tired. I was nervous to be
away from home in case I had an “episode”. I would only eat
salad while out at a restaurant because I didn’t want to be
sick.
The episodes
of stomach pain began after the birth of my second son over
3 years ago! The episodes progressively got worse. At
their peak I was getting them at least 3 times per week!
I would also
experience severe pain in between my shoulder blades.
I had
numerous appointments with my family doctor and
gastroentrononlogist, numerous trips to the hospital for
tests and appointments. I continuously was going back
asking for help. Nothing ever showed up at any of the
appointments. There did not seem be anywhere to turn.
After
discussing my problems with Dr. Ron McAlister, we focused
my adjustments on nerves connected to my gall bladder. I
felt significantly improved within the first month! The
episodes began to slow down and I began to get my energy
back. I now feel 90% improved!
Although I
still get occasional discomfort, the nighttime bathroom
trips have stopped. I can now eat more normal foods when
out, without fear of becoming sick. I am off all
medication. I have energy again and feel fantastic. I wish
I had known about how this would help earlier!
I would
recommend others have a consultation with Dr. Ron McAlister. The care has
changed my life in the past year. I can’t tell you how
horrible I felt for years. I am so thankful for this
treatment.
Danielle S.
I consulted Dr. Ron McAlister for headaches, neck and shoulder pain, low back
and stomach aches. I had occasional knee pain and elbow numbness.
My social life was disrupted by not being able to eat out
without terrible stomach pain, I couldn’t sit for long
periods of time, it could take me days to do my cleaning and
worst of all... I couldn’t lift my daughter. My low back
pain was the result of a car accident and was an everyday
occurrence. For 3-4 days my other problems would be ongoing
on a weekly cycle.
I have tried muscle relaxants, surgery and massage
therapy. Dr. Ron McAlister has been
helping me since April 99. I no longer have stomach aches,
knee pain or elbow numbness. My headaches have diminished
significantly and my low back acts up once in a while NOT
everyday.
Dr. Ron McAlister is very professional and he educates
patients including what you should be doing away from the
office. It appears to me that adjustments don’t just
alleviate the pain but fix the problem.
Irritable Bowel
Marilyn S.
After a fall in childhood, I had suffered with back pain on and
off. Since the birth of my first child, I lived with almost daily back pain and
developed leg numbness. I also suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome,
headaches, buzzing in the ears and balance problems. For years I avoided things
that would aggravate these problems.
I had told my family medical doctor about the back pain,
he suggested muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory drugs.
They didn’t work and I had side effects from the
anti-inflammatory drugs. If the problem persisted he was
GOING TO DO SURGERY! Needless to say I really didn’t mention
it again. Surgery on backs is not something to take lightly!
Since starting regular adjustments with Dr. Ron McAlister, I have
seen a huge improvement in the way I stand and my shoulders
are beginning to straighten. I have next to no back pain or
headaches compared to what I had before.
Dr. Ron McAlister is very professional friendly, puts you at ease immediately and
is very
accommodating to your needs.
I HAVE SEEN A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE as well as my body. I
definitely recommend chiropractic care!
Dizziness / Ringing in Ears
Darlene F.
For four years, I had been experiencing a real problem with balance and light headedness. It was constantly a problem and I was at the point where I wondered if I could continue with my job.
I had been to many doctors, had many tests and been referred to a
Neurologist. Up to that point, they had apparently not discovered anything
to be wrong. I didn't think those were problems that chiropractic care would be able to help, however when I met Dr. Ron McAlister
and he explained that chiropractic care may be able to help, I thought, "What the heck! I'll give this a try.”
So I had a thorough examination and after Dr. Ron McAlister gave me the results and his recommendation, I began my adjustments. After only three adjustments, the difference was unbelievable! At first I thought it was just a coincidence that I was feeling so good. Maybe it was just a good week or the sun was shining more than usual, that makes everyone feel better. Anything but admit that after all those months of discomfort and anxiety and those numerous unhelpful tests that all of a sudden after only a few brief adjustments my balance had improved so dramatically.
Following through with the prescribed treatment program not only helped my balance. All the other niggling, little things that I had chosen to ignore up to that point had also disappeared. Gone was the occasional tingling sensation down my right arm and my whole body seemed to become stronger!
Dr. Ron McAlister has CHANGED MY LIFE!. Work is no longer a problem. I can now socialize without feeling like I have to either hold on to something or sit in a chair while talking to someone. I have an all over feeling of well being that I didn't have before.
Dr. Ron McAlister is very good about explaining what he is doing and why he
is doing it.
I would have no hesitation in recommending chiropractic care as well as Dr. Ron McAlister to anyone I thought would benefit.

I had suffered with neck pain and midback pain for over 4 years. Along with the onset of neck pain I experienced dizziness, ringing in the ears and jaw pain. I also experienced low back pain, constipation and fatigue.
The pain not only interfered with doing school work and playing sports but it even hurt to bend over to wash my face and brush my teeth. My neck was constantly stiff.
After receiving chiropractic care with Dr. Ron McAlister, in 1 1/2 months the pain was 90% improved. Now I can perform my everyday activities without pain!
In addition, my dizziness, ringing in ears, constipation and fatigue where all 100% improved!
Dr. Ron McAlister is very friendly and personable.
I would absolutely recommend others to Dr. Ron McAlister. Chiropractic care can help get rid of your pain and allow you to live a regular life.
Children
Meg E.
I had been suffering with headaches and stomach aches for 6 years. The headaches occurred 3 to 4 times a week.
The headaches during the day interfered with concentrating at school. Usually they occurred at night, so it was hard getting to sleep.
Previously, I had consulted my medical doctor but without results.
After the first 2 months of having chiropractic care with Dr. Ron McAlister, both my headaches and stomach aches are 90% improved. I am also sleeping better!
I recommend chiropractic care to others because it is good for them!
Lloyd W.
I consulted with Dr. Ron McAlister because I had asthma and related allergies. I had these problems since I was about two years old and now I’m nine.
I had to use medication for my asthma attacks. I’ve seen medical Doctors, been to asthma clinics and used medications to help me.
Since having chiropractic care, I HAVEN’T HAD AN ASTHMA ATTACK
THIS YEAR AT ALL!! I have not needed my puffers as much and I feel much
better. Dr. Ron McAlister is great.
Chiropractic care makes you feel better. Your spine is VERY important for all over health. I had a bad curve in my neck and it’s almost back to normal!
Seniors
Nora W.
I suffered with neck pain and headaches since childhood.
Fainting spells also began while a teenager. Throughout most of my life these
problems interfered with activities at home and work. They affected me
physically, mentally and socially.
In desperation I used 6 to 9 aspirin per day to stay
functioning. This eventually caused internal hemorrhaging
and hospitalization.
After a few adjustments with Dr. Ron McAlister, I could
feel changes taking place in my neck, legs and back. After
suffering for over 55 years, 1 month of chiropractic care resulted in
a 70% improvement in my neck pain and 80% improvement in my
headaches!
If someone had told me about Dr. Ron McAlister earlier I would have been able to avoid
life-threatening use of medication!
I recommend others to get chiropractic
care because it certainly has worked for me!
Olwin D.
My initial concerns were low back pain
radiating into legs and numbness. I had lived with this
problem on and off for 40 years. Two previous back
operations for ruptured disc had been done in 1970 and 1975.
My mobility was affected, sometimes making movement
difficult. Back exercise helped and water exercise was very
effective.
After my first month of chiropractic care
my leg pain was 90% improved and the numbness in my leg was
70% improved. All symptoms are reduced and my mobility has
increased.
The office has a pleasant atmosphere.
I recommend Dr. Ron McAlister to others
because of the significant improvement I have experienced.
John P.
For over 6 years I had experienced neck and low back stiffness with
restriction of motion. I also suffered with severe leg cramps at night and
morning headaches. These problems were increasing in severity and frequency
The leg cramps disturbed my sleep and I was constantly
tired.
Muscle relaxants didn't help. Frequent tylenol use helped
the headaches. But nothing lessened the frequency and
severity of the leg cramps at night. The chiropractic care I received
with
Dr. Ron McAlister has greatly
improved quality of life for me. I no longer awake with a
headache. My sleep is restful as my leg cramps are becoming
much less frequent and not as severe.
I would definitely recommend other people get
chiropractic care. I have observed how beneficial
chiropractic
care has been for my sister and a friend of the family - and
of tremendous benefit to me.
Quality of Life
Ian C.
I came see Dr. Ron McAlister because I had constant lower back pain. I also felt “stressed” at work and suffered through many sleepless nights. Life seemed like a lot of hard work and real lasting enjoyment of life eluded me. This problem was pretty constant for a long time. It seemed to build slowly over several years. I was looking for something external to change what was happening internally. I had tried different massage techniques and would resort to taking medication to help me sleep at night.
After two weeks of chiropractic care my back pain was gone. I feel far more relaxed and I am able to enjoy life no matter what “stressful situation” may arise. I am sleeping well and NEVER
take medication to help me sleep.
It’s hard to imagine the power you have within yourself, especially if you have been living with pain and fear.
Dr. Ron McAlister will help you realize the power and potential your body has to actually heal itself.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Sofia P.
Due to a car accident 15 years ago, I suffered with severe neck pain, a TMJ problem (cracking & stiffness in the jaw), headaches and shoulder stiffness.
I was taking over the counter medication for my weekly headaches. I couldn’t move my neck and had a hard time driving or doing any physical exercise ( e.g. weight training, sit ups etc. )
My medical doctor suggested taking medication (tylenol) daily. For a year I had been receiving Osteopathic manipulations and accupuncture. At night I wear a splint made by an Orthodontist.
When I saw Dr. Ron McAlister, I was at my worst! After receiving care from
Dr. Ron McAlister, I finally got long-term relief from my neck pain. The daily stiffness in the jaw and shoulder is gone. My jaw finally stopped cracking and slipping on a daily basis.
Dr. Ron McAlister is wonderful. He is gentle and always
kind.
I would definitely recommend other people get chiropractic
care. I have been trying to convince my mom and dad. Now wait till I show them my before and after xrays - it’s like bringing home a Report Card with A++
Janet C.
I came to
see Dr. Ron McAlister because of a whiplash injury that I had 3 weeks
earlier. I had constant headaches and I couldn’t move my
neck easily.
During the
initial visit, it was also discovered that my spine was
crooked in the lumbar region and my right hip was higher
than the left. The unaligned hips were from a fall as a
child, 17 years ago.
I previously
saw an orthopedist who prescribed medications to decrease
the swelling and pain.
After the
first 2 chiropractic adjustments, my headaches were gone and haven’t
returned!
