Dr. Marjorie Pederson
Allergies, Karen
My daughter is in 4-H and shows rabbits at the Jefferson County Fair. Every year after the fair I would get sick and have an allergic reaction compiling into a sinus infection. Dr. Marjorie Pederson helped me with my allergy problem. She did a series of treatments--I didn't realize how many things I was allergic to! Now for the last 2 years after the fair, I haven't been sneezing all the way home. I haven't had the major sinus infection that I would get. I used to end up at the doctor's office for antibiotics after every fair. I am most impressed that I don't get the amount of headaches that I used to. Being well for most of the time is a great thing for me and my family! Thank you Doctor Pederson!
Disc Injury, Julie
For the first time in years, I am beginning to feel consistantly solid in my body & mind again. With a history of back pain & trauma, I was devistated to injure 2 discs in May. I was scred I would neveer have full use of my legs again, but Dr. Pederson walked me through the healing process, providing me with hope that I wuld recover fully & be able to walk without a cane. She empowered me by giving me strengthing exersizes to do (specifically designed for my needs), which helped me to take my recory into my own hands. Thank you Dr. Pederson--for giving me my life back : )
Allergies & Sinus Problems, Naomi
Prior to visiting my chiropractor, I had horrible allergies and sinus problems practically my entire life. After a few adjustments, I was breathing a lot better and feeling wonderful! Before receiving chiropractic care, I would take pills for everything. I see now that they only treat the symptoms whereas chiropractic is specific and fixes the problem! Before I would constantly walk around with a tissue feeling groggy all the time. Now I can enjoy outdoor sports and things I've avoided like strolls in the park and going for picnics, and gardening. Not only have I been healed of my allergies and sinus trouble, but my overall health has improved incredibly also. I rarely get sick, and when I do, I get better faster. It feels great to be drug-free. Thanks Doc!
Auto Accident, Sharon
After a severe auto accident, I spent years with chronic neck and shoulder pain, which eventually radiated down my right arm. The pain kept getting worst and worst, until it became intolerable. I started taking Tylenol and Advil left and right until even that didn't help. In the end I tried everything short of surgery. I discussed trying chiropractic care with my family physician, and he recommended that I see you. I couldn't believe what just a few chiropractic adjustments could do. I now have normal movement in my neck and shoulder and feel better than I have in years. I wish I had known to come to you earlier! Thank you!
Back Pain, Mike
I don't have a dramatic tale to tell, however, I know that drama is not necessary for me to praise the benefits of chiropractic. I came to the doctor after throwing out my back. I responded to chiropractic care very well. I had received it in the past. Nevertheless, not to this level. The injury healed itself quickly due to your concern and adjustments. I have been coming regularly ever since.With the aide of chiropractic, I can continue to work. Without this care, it would have been very difficult for me to perform my everyday functions and responsibilities. Thank you for your help and sharing your knowledge.
Back Pain, John
I do believe I have benefitted tremendously from chiropractic. Not only does it alleviate stiffness and aches, but it also helps me to feel more balanced and rejuvenated. I have discovered wellness with renewed use of some worn-down muscles and great relief from the pain that has afflicted me for a very long time.This spring I intend to go back to something I doubted I would ever be able to resume again…my favorite sport of golf. For that I consider myself doubly rewarded for undergoing chiropractic treatment. Thanks again Doc. . . . I truly appreciate all that you have done for me.
Carpel Tunnel, Moriah
I never thought I'd get anything like carpel tunnel, after all, I didn't play tennis, golf, or work too much on the computer. After my daughter Marina was born, I started experiencing pain in my elbow, arm, and wrist from nursing. There was no way I was going to stop nursing but I had to do something because it was starting to effect everything. As time passed, every movement in my arm became excruitatingly and painful. I started seeing the doctor and then had a program put together for me that helped right away. First she explained what was going on with my body. She stressed the importance of posture while nursing and that my current posture was putting a strain on my neck, back, shoulders, and going through to my arms, etc. Every appointment he would massage and adjust my neck, back, shoulders, and arms. After about 3 weeks I had completely forgotten I even had carpel tunnel...and I'm still nursing!
Chronic Sinus & Ear Infections, Noah
Ever since my son, Noah, was 3 months old, he suffered from sinus and ear infections. Everytime I would take him to the pediatrician the doctor would prescribe him acetaminophen or ear drops. After endless months of infection after infection the doctor said we may need to do surgery. I wanted my son to get well and be free from pain but I freaked out when they mentioned surgery. There was no way I was going to let me little 9 month old go under the knife exploring all the options first. When I told my sister, who is also an MD about the possibility of Noah needing surgery she immediately recommended that I consider alternative medicine by taking him to a chiropractor. With time and research, we decided to try out your six steps to wellness. Noah was adjusted just twice by the doctor, and has not had an ear infection since! It has been 6 months now and Noah has been adjusted just three more times and still no infections!
Headaches, Laticia
I've always played sports, but started experiencing headaches right around the time I started high school. My junior year my headaches started to get really bad. When basketball season started I knew something had to be done. My coach recommended I try seeing a chiropractor. So we called your clinic and asked about my problem. She suggested we come in and talk to her about how chiropractic could help. It's amazing how just a few chiropractic adjustments made feel. All of a sudden I was feeling more energized and not getting headaches... and my game has improved! Who would have thought?!
Neck, Shoulder, & Back Pain, Carlos
I first met my doctor after participating in a health survey at the gym. At the time, I was experiencing neck, shoulder, back pain, and just about every kind of body pain you could think of. A nerve scan was conducted and it showed interference to all those areas I described. It was then explained to me what a “subluxation” was and that it was putting pressure on my nerves therefore affecting their function and communication to different parts of the body. I realized at that moment my wellbeing was more important than money. I have now been under chiropractic care for nine months and I’m feeling better than I have in a long time. I believe Chiropractic care goes hand in hand with exercising at the gym and my flexibility and posture have also improved as a result. You explained to me that this is not a cure but that this is a lifestyle change and a process designed to correct a vital part of our precious bodies. This philosophy works and I am very thankful that I took the first step into a life changing process.
Sciatica, Brianna
Thanks Doc...You were right! I remember when I came to you the last month of my pregnancy with the sciatica. I couldn't walk or move at all! It was the worst thing ever! But, you helped me through it with the adjustments and massage therapy. It didn't go away completely but I always felt so much better after visiting with you, my condition definetly improved. You reassured me that I would get better and that I would be completely back to normal after I delivered the baby. I remember seeing other pregnant women and thinking how lucky they were to be able to walk normal and have an easy pregnacy. After my baby was born, it was like a miracle...just like you said, I was back to normal! Thanks again!
Shoulder Pain, Aaron
I would like to express my gratitude to you doctor and your staff for helping me to recover from an extremely painful ailment involving my right shoulder.It has been a recovery that is almost miraculous and if I had not undergone it, I would not have believed that such a turn of events would be possible at all. Due to a major tumor surgery several years ago which removed a large amount of muscle, the area around my right shoulder had become restricted from full range of motion with some muscle groups compensating for those that had been removed by surgery. Before long, the shoulder condition had degenerated, movement was restricted and the pain had become so unbearable that I was taking powerful prescription pain killers. The condition got worse until I could barely comb my hair, put my clothes on or even shift the gears in my car. I now had severe frozen shoulder. Out of desperation, I started to do research on the internet and asked other friends and family about chiropractic. The feedback from others was quite positive. There seemed to be a slight ray of hope other than having another surgery. What is important is that I can truly say that my shoulder is now 98% cured! The pain is almost completely gone and I continue to do the exercises prescribed by you. I have my life back and all this has been achieved without any drugs or surgery, just chiropractic adjustments, effective use of ice packs, therapeutic soft tissue massage and muscle strengthening.
Sports Injury, Katie
It happened this past winter. I went up to the mountains with a bunch of friends. I was approaching the lifts when an out-of-control snowboarder slammed right into me. I don't remember much, but I remember going face down into the snow--hard. Everything blacked out. I think I was out for about a good 30 seconds. I could hear my friends hovering above me, calling my name, waiting for a response. I couldn't speak or move. A few minutes later I was taken to the local emergency hospital. It turned out I was ok. I had passed out and was experiencing some major whiplash. The X-Rays came out fine, but I was in major pain. I couldn't move my neck and my back was stiff and sore.
When my mother heard what had happened she was very concerned--of course. She had been seeing you for years and took the initiativew to schedule me in to see you. I must admit, I was a skeptic. After a few weeks of adjustments and rehab I had already forgotten the whole thing had happened. Thanks again!
Sports Injury, Neil
It's been 7 months since I got totalled by a monster wave. Since then my life has never been the same. I remember coming out of the water and not being able to walk or move. My girlfriend insisted on taking me to the hospital right away. I immediately had X-Rays taken and the doctors said everything seemed normal, but I knew that was the case. When I went back to see them after a week of being hunched over, limping, and exhausted from lack or sleep they still said there was nothing they could do. A friend suggested I see a chiropractor and that is when I came to see you. One adjustment was all it took to make a world of difference. I was back to my normal self again. Before I never knew what a chiropractor was or even believed in alternative medicine, but now you've made me a believer.
Stress, Daniel
Several years ago, I began experiencing a lot of stress and lack of sleep. At the suggestion of a friend, I called your clinic in hopes of resolving the condition. The doctor determined the problem was actually being caused by stress and lifestyle choices. You and your team put together a wellness program incorporating massage, nutrition, and exercise. I must say, I have never felt better. Now I more relaxed, sleep well and am living a more balanced and full-filling life . . . and I have since been promoted! Thanks to all of you!
