Honestly, I can’t say where my life would be today without chiropractic treatment!  After a minor fender-bender, and ignoring the little ache in my neck, six months later I could hardly brush my hair, or vacuum, or anything else!  I was miserable.  Then I decided to try chiropractic treatments, hopefully, if only to be functional.  Well, not only am I running full speed ahead on a whole, I feel better today than I did prior to that little accident.  After my treatment began, some days were worse than others, but I could tell that every week I was more agile and pain free than last week.  It took almost nine months and some effort on my part by stretching and performing the exercises suggested, but I DID GET WELL! 

Today, I visit Dr. Rice occasionally for health maintenance, but I am probably in better shape now than ever.  And - Dr. Rice is my chiropractor.  I believe in him and his ability.  I believe he truly has my best interests at heart, and is his goal is to keep me well, not keep me coming back.  I thank God for him and the great staff at Agape Chiropractic for their help and understanding with my needs.  If you suffer from headaches, backaches, arm and neck pain, etc., please, let Dr. Rice examine you.  If your condition warrants chiropractic treatment, I guarantee Dr. Rice can help you.  Help you feel better, live better, look better, and be better.

IT WORKS!

In October of 1996, Justin (my son) started having headaches.  It eventually turned into a continuous headache that lasted nine months.  During this time, he could not play, go to school, or even stand the light.  He stayed in his room, in the dark and became very depressed.  Even wished he could die.  We took him to eight different doctors and made five trips to hospitals.  We had allergy tests, x-rays, cat scan, and an MRI done.  We saw an eye doctor, nose, throat and ear specialist, and a neurologist.  Each time, they couldn’t find anything wrong.  We spent thousands of dollars and he was given medication that made him sleep all the time.  I didn’t know what to do, but I was not giving up.  I opened the phone book and saw Agape Chiropractic.  I really didn’t know that much about it, but they told us to come right then.  Dr. Rice worked with Justin and found his problem.  In a short time, Justin’s headaches were gone.  He began acting like himself again.  When Justin’s headaches stopped, that was the happiest day of our lives.  You could say Dr. Rice gave Justin his life back.

I had an accident at work and compacted my left side.  After surgery and several visits to different doctors, there was nothing else that could be done for me.  I wasn’t sleeping very well.  I couldn’t ride in a car for any length of time and was in pain constantly.   I didn’t know what else to do until a friend told me about Dr. Rice.  I came in and in 15 minutes Dr. Rice told me what I had told all the other doctors.  I was a human accordion.  It took a long while and a lot of ups and downs, but I am sleeping at night and not in constant pain anymore.  I thought chiropractic care was a bunch of hog wash when I first came to Dr. Rice, but have found the treatment very beneficial and feel I am a lot better than I ever thought I might be.  This was my last resort and I am truly happy that I was recommended to Dr. Rice’s office and have recommended several people.  Everyone is happy with the results.

I suffer from fibromyalgia and back problems.  I came to Dr. Rice on recommendation of my sister who had been seeing him for some time.  I had hurt my back in 1979 and again in 1989.  I had been hurting in my lower back and with the fibromyalgia for several years now.  I was having problems with the sciatic nerve in my left leg and with restless legs at night to the point I had to sit up or get up and walk around.  I was not getting any rest and was always tired. 

When I began to have problems with the sciatic nerve and the back pain really bad in 2001, I went to a pain clinic where an MRI was done showing one deteriorated disc in the spine and the inflamed sciatic nerve.  I was hurting so bad that I had an epidural spinal injection done which relieved the pain so it was tolerable.  I had one of these injections each year for three years.  I had bad side effects from the third one which lasted about two weeks after the injection.  I decided to try the DRX treatments which did nothing for my back but cause me to have problems with the sciatic nerve down my right leg.  I had another ESI done to stop the pain from the DRX treatments.  I was determined not to go this route again.  So I suffered for the last two years. 

I had reached the end of my patience and knew I had to see someone and my sister recommended Dr. Rice.  Dr. Rice sent me for x-rays before starting any treatments to see exactly what was going on.  Upon reading the x-rays, Dr. Rice showed me where I had two deteriorated discs and the discs in my spine were all deteriorating.  He also showed me where I was supposed to have a curve in my spine and mine was flat.  Dr. Rice said adjustments were out of the question as it would hurt more than help and he suggested a new treatment that helps your body heal itself by releasing the blood flow and stimulating the nerves.  I began these treatments two weeks ago.  The pain is lessening, I am sleeping better, and I definitely have more energy.  I feel rested when I get up in the morning instead of dreading it and being tired.  I had seen a chiropractor when I got hurt in 1979 and 1989 and knew it would help but I am so pleased with what is happening to me with this new treatment that I will tell anyone about its benefits.  Thanks Dr. Rice!!!!

In appreciation of Dr Rice, I would like to tell a little of how chiropractic care has improved my life.

I have long suffered from what has been called spastic colon, irritable bowel, or just plain upset stomach.  I have had either diarrhea or constipation for years.  I have been looking for years for an answer.  Any answer that would help me feel better.  I’ve had my gallbladder checked, I’ve gone to a gynecologist, and even saw a doctor about my back.  Not to mention the countless general practitioners I’ve seen. 

To describe the severity of my situation, let me tell you how my life has been.  Every two to three weeks, I’ve either had diarrhea or constipation.  These bouts usually put me down for two days.  I have tried so many medicines - over the counter and prescribed.  From Pepto-Bismol, Maalox, Rolaids, Alka=Seltzer, to Clindex, Zantac, Pepcid, Prisolec, and more.  Not only have I tried all these medicines, I also had a surgery that may not have been necessary.  I was willing to try anything.

I would never have thought to seek chiropractic care but for my brother-in-law.  He had had similar symptoms and after many trips to the hospital, he tried chiropractic care.  It worked wonders for him.  So, I thought I’d give it a try.

I knew I was in good hands because I had heard so many good things about Dr. Rice from other family members.  I also knew Dr. Rice was a very knowledgeable man just from his interpretation of my x-rays.  Dr. Rice described my symptoms before I ever had to tell him.  Within just a few adjustments, I could tell a great difference.  Dr. Rice had shown me pressure points that I could hold or rub and within minutes I could tell a difference.  Dr. Rice only takes a few minutes to totally adjust you, but he makes sure you understand what he has done.

From the experiences I have forgone to now, I would recommend chiropractic to all.  Dr. Rice currently treats all of our family members, from parents to our infant niece.

With just the few weeks of adjustments I’ve had, I feel so much better.  I would recommend to anyone, if you are having some sort of pain, Dr. Rice could help.

God has blessed Dr. Rice with such a talent and wisdom of the body that he could help any illness.  Don’t hold back.  Remember, it’s worth a try.

In the fall of 1979, my migraines turned into dizziness.  My husband and I traveled a lot in ’92 and ’93.  Dizziness became a way of life.  I dared not walk without something to hold on to.  My doctor prescribed Mechizine 25 mg. one tablet by mouth every eight hours.  I stayed dizzy.  No fear of addiction.  I changed doctors in the fall of ’96 and found I was drinking too much coffee, tea, and coke – all diuretics.  I started drinking 8-10 glasses of water each day.  I became steadier, but was still dizzy.  In the fall of ’97, my husband and daughter were seeing Dr. Rice and bringing home pamphlets claiming help for people suffering dizziness.  While my husband, three sons, and a daughter were seeing chiropractors, I had never been.  They live active lives, no drugs – no surgery.  My family was telling me to see Dr. Rice.  Being dizzy with my family pushing and pulling – I curiously came to see Dr. Rice.

Dr. Rice and staff were friendly and carefully explained x-rays were needed to see what kind of care could be given.  On the second visit the x-rays were explained with possible treatment described with plenty of time for questions and answers.  I had old whiplash injuries and curvature of the spine.  The first weeks of care were daily – then two visits a week – then once a week.  Now (two years later), I miss a week every now and then.  The reward – I walk without holding on – turning around without wheeeeee!  I pick things off the floor without spinning.  I am isolated, mostly shop, see doctors and family, and go to church when I can.  I find it amazing that those I’ve been around most of my life have used chiropractic care for years.  I’m Johnny come lately; who wishes I’d come sooner.  I am most grateful to Dr. Rice and his staff for seeing and treating me and mine as more than patients.  Always a friendly greeting and interest in our daily lives.  Gotta love ‘em!
