I wasn't looking for a new chiropractor when I found Dr Arnone. I had a chiropractor in whom I trusted for many years. He had mainly helped me through his other alternative therapies. Yet, in the last couple of years I felt that we were missing something. So, I was looking, but not for a new chiropractor.

I didn't know I had an Upper Cervical problem. Then my symptoms of fatigue and endometriosis started to get worse. I prayed to God to help me find the best way to solve these problems. Shortly after that I found Dr Arnone (doing Free Posture Screenings at The Natural Way in Creve Coeur). I had never heard of an Upper Cervical Chiropractor but everything that he said about it made sense, so I agreed to try his care.

Within a week of my first adjustment I felt much better. Especially with my endometriosis symptoms. Gone were all the aches and pains in my abdomen and my fatigue was better too!

I was astonished!

I am still under his care because I know even though I had some immediate results that it's going to take some time for my body to realign and heal itself.

"I had a problem with arm weakness and numbness occurring along the outside of the hands. That has resolved itself. I had a period of dizziness and issues with balance and those also have disappeared. The most surprising thing to me is on my last medical doctors visit, I, in my sixties, was three-eighths of an inch taller. I have never been this tall. I noticed I sit straighter in the chair. This is after a total of only 3 adjustments over four months. PS In addition, after having a checkup with my medical doctor my PSA was elevated to 4.1. I declined having a biopsy as recommended (at $5,000.00 cost). 4 months later at my next PSA test, I was a 3.1 well within range now."

"In twenty three years my medical doctors havent been able to do what Dr. Arnone & Upper Cervical has done for me in two and a half months. I am amazed by the changes taking place in my body. I am no longer taking the pain pills I had been taking every eight hours. I am regaining some of the mobility on the paralyzed side of my body, the result of a brain hemmorhage. I had all but forgotten the hot flashes and night sweats, until another patient mentioned that her hot flashes went away. I probably screamed when I said, hot flashes, I havent had any since I was adjusted, I forgot about them. If I am dreaming, please dont wake me. If I am awake I will tell everyone about Dr. Arnone and his gift of Specific Chiropractic."

"The first week of November, after working out at the gym, I experienced excrucitating pain in my mid-back. I immediately went to a friends chiropractor and he located the problem (T1-2) and did an adjustment. I went back two more times - had an adjustment each time - and by the end of the week was headed to my primary care physician for pain pills. My primary sent me to two weeks of physical therapy, hoping it was a muscle strain. After two weeks of physical therapy my pain was no better. In fact, it was getting worse, with pain radiating down my arm and I began noticing weakness in my outer hand. At that point I was instructed to get a CAT-scan and then an MRI because they needed a better look at the T1-2 disc. Next stop was the neurosurgeon and it didnt take him long to determine that I had blown out a disc and he gave me 3 options: 1) surgery 2) pain management 3) do nothing, live on pain pills and see if it corrected itself. He cautioned me that waiting had its risks as I was already experiencing nerve damage in my arm and hand and if it continued could become irreversible damage. THEN, I was contacted by a friend who made me promise to get a second opinion from their Upper Cervical Spine Specialist before heading into surgery. I was leery to go to another chiropractor, but decided if I was headed to surgery, I might as well get a second opinion. Dr Arnone explained to a very skeptical ME about the specialized practice he could offer and encouraged me to have some X-Rays taken of my spine and we could then go over those results and discuss the findings. The next week my husband and I returned to Dr Arnones office and after examining my x-rays and me he was confident he could help me. He was willing to give me an adjustment right then and there. Still thinking what have I got to lose and knowing he wasnt going to adjust my back anywhere near my ruptured disc, I agreed to have the adjustment. From that moment until now (and I am still a little in awe) I have experienced NO PAIN. NO PAIN in my back and NONE of the radiating pain down my arm and into my hand. I am also not feeling the numb, tingling sensation in my outer hand. After three months of living on narcotics, seeing my lifestyle change because of my injury, seeing myself close up emotionally and socially, I am looking around thinking what happened? What happened was a simple adjustment that kept me from surgery, gave me the opportunity to throw my very dear to me pain medications away and is giving my entire spine an opportunity to correct itself from the twists and curves that are too evident on an X-ray. Dr. Arnone was my answer to prayer. I knew God would come through and He did. Thank you, Dr Arnone for pursuing this practice. I am telling everyone about you and it is amazing how many people are experiencing all types of back pain and nerve pain and think they are helpless and will have to live with it. I hope my testimony can show people that there is another way - a non-invasive way to find relief and health."
