Testimonials

“Before starting care at Congruent Life, I dealt with migraines/headaches, restless sleep and severe lower back pain (some days it was hard to do daily activities like walking). I’ve suffered from lower back pain since middle school/high school and was advised to go to physical therapy and even tried a different chiropractor as well. I found little to no relief, but the pain was manageable for the most part and I just assumed I’d have to live like that for forever so I nearly gave up trying to become better.

When I moved this past summer, the pain came back and I couldn’t even walk standing straight and sitting at my desk job was unbearable. I was taking ibuprofen all day and was in so much pain. It was all I thought about all day and throughout the night. I finally decided something needed to change, and I wanted to go about it as natural and holistic as I could. I wanted to find a solution where I didn’t need to rely on a medication to feel like myself. I had been following CLC for about a year and finally took a leap of faith to find out more about the practice. I was super excited to finally find a chiropractor who wanted to understand the neurological component underlying my issues and not just “adjust and go”. I knew my headaches and restless sleep were more than what the surface showed and it was obvious many of my symptoms were related. Dr. Mike did an amazing job explaining how everything is connected in the nervous system and told me that many of my symptoms were due to underlying reasons. I have never been so grateful to have a doctor finally agree with me on something!

One of the reasons I chose CLC to help me was because they used technology to look at the nervous system. Since I felt that my problems were neurologically related, I didn’t think an x-ray would be sufficient enough. I was excited to hear they use THREE (!!!) different scans to track progress, rather than my old chiropractor who would maybe do one x-ray at the beginning and tell me to “come back in 2 days and we’ll go from there”. Dr. Mike and his team are so warm, welcoming and knowledgeable and I felt like I have belonged since the day I walked through the door for my initial appointment. I think that’s what makes them stand out the most; how welcoming of an environment the office and staff is and how willingly they are to help anyone! I’ve looked forward to my appointments for the last 4-5 months and leave feeling better and better each time.

Now that I’ve been seeing Dr. Mike and his staff for several months I can’t even remember what life was like prior to chiropractic care. I recall that after my first adjustment I was almost in tears because of the relief I felt in my lower back and hips. I walked out of the office and felt like a new person. Little did I know in the weeks following I would see a huge change in my attitude (way more positive!), my sleep has gotten so much better (I’m able to fall asleep so much faster and feel well rested now), my headaches have improved significantly, and I just am a happier person. My lower back pain is still there from time to time, but it’s nowhere near where it was on the first day I walked through the office doors. It’s manageable and I am able to tell when I’m overdoing something now and can help prevent injuring it again. I’m forever grateful for the care and knowledge the CLC staff has given me and HIGHLY recommend them to everyone I encounter!”

“Zoey was a newborn, delivered via emergency c-section. She had the cord wrapped around her neck, twice. I noticed a few days after birth that her neck was crooked. Her head would get stuck/titled, and I was so worried about her comfort and the fact that she may be in pain and not able to tell me. I wanted a healthy baby, and thought that Chiropractic would get us there and help her neck as well.

Dr. Mike adjusted newborns differently than I had ever seen. He is so gentle and only adjusted her when/where she needed it. I really started to realize Chiropractic was making a difference when Zoey was 6 months old. She was over 100% for weight, height and head size. She was sleeping 10-12 hours a night, plus four hour naps. One day at daycare almost all the kids were gone sick, and Zoey was healthy. I knew then it was because of Chiropractic care at Congruent Life every single week since birth.

I swear by Chiropractic. Zoey has been so healthy. Few illnesses, and when she is sick her body does a good job fighting it. She is growing and learning quickly, has never had an ear infection, and is advanced in her language. She’s also a great sleeper, which may be the best benefit of care because then I can sleep too!!”

“Keyten has some proprioception and sensory issues. He was having out of control behaviors and meltdowns. He has always had the sensory issues but we didn’t know about it until he was 4 and started speech therapy and preschool. When Keyten’s behaviors were really bad it was really hard to get him to calm down and think reasonably. I felt like a failure as a parent & was afraid his younger sister would catch on to the bad behaviors. I decided to try chiropractic because I was looking for something that would really help Keyten. We have been to specialists, were already in OT and speech so I wanted to try something different. I was intrigued by what I had read online about how chiropractic had helped others and decided I wanted to try that before adding other therapies.

Keyten had such impressive and positive changes after the first month of care, I knew we were on the right track. He has become much more calm. His meltdowns have become fewer and not nearly as bad. He is sleeping and eating better when we travel. His occupational therapist even told us she plans to discharge him after school starts!

Dr. Mike is a smart and informed chiropractor who loves helping people. Everyone at the office is very welcoming, friendly, and easy to talk to throughout our journey. We are very thankful for Congruent Life!”

“We started care at CLC because our baby was fussy at night, gassy after feeding, and spit up whenever we laid her flat after eating. She had trouble with bowel movements going days without one and had trouble sleeping. She cried for 3 hours one night. We felt helpless! She seemed so uncomfortable and in pain. We just felt so badly for her. I wanted to be able to comfort her but nothing seemed to work!

We love our pediatrician, but sometimes you need something in addition to that care. I was very happy to find CLC to care for and calm my baby, aside from just hearing that it is normal and they’ll grow out of it. The first couple weeks of care things were still pretty rough, so I had to keep telling myself that it wasn’t an instant fix. But soon after she started becoming more regular with her bowel movements and wouldn’t spit up after eating! She was HAPPY! She IS happy!! She might fuss for a minute or so while going to sleep but that’s it! She’s a whole new baby!!

Having a baby that loves to smile is so much better than having a baby that won’t stop crying. We can enjoy her now instead of always having to try and console her or try to figure out and fix what was wrong. Since being under care at CLC we’re less stressed, she’s less stressed and her brothers are less stressed!”

“I started Amelia at CLC because of her terrible stomach and gas pains. She would become so backed up and constipated. She would go a week, sometimes longer, without pooping! When she would finally poop, it was very difficult and painful for her. She would lack sleep and refuse to do tummy time. She became a very sad, hurting baby. This started from birth but gradually became worse. I tried EVERYTHING! Gas drops, gripe water, home exercises, massages, etc. Any and every idea I was told.

Since being under care at CLC we have celebrated MULTIPLE poopy diapers a DAY! As well as pooping without tears or struggle. Amelia is also sleeping better, eating better and so much happier! It’s like a whole new child. She is also finally willing to try tummy time.

I trusted the doctors and Congruent Life from day one. Almost as if I had met them long ago. They are easy to talk to and very positive people. It is hard to find a business (especially health related) that is so positive minded like my husband and I try to be. It’s easy to see they love what they do and have the patient’s best interest in mind. I also LOVE the affirmation board!”

“I initially started coming to CLC because of my terrible headaches/migraines and also dizziness. I was getting them weekly, which impacted work and my daily life. I felt like I was constantly dizzy which would often make me nauseous. I blacked out OFTEN when standing up and would have to stop until my vision came back. I have been to other Doctors multiple times and they would just put me on meds which made me very ill. I also had very irregular bowel movements which I was taking medication for from time to time.

Since starting care at Congruent Life, my blackouts/dizziness have COMPLETELY stopped. I have fewer migraines and headaches as well.

A couple things that completely surprised me have also changed since starting care. I’m back to regular/daily bowel movements, I’m sleeping better and I’m MUCH less anxious. My menstrual cycle has also improved greatly!! I used to have horrible cramping/bleeding and now it’s completely bearable compared to the past!

I had heard all great things about Congruent Life which is why I started care here – in hopes for answers and change! I have been nothing but impressed with Dr. Mike’s knowledge and desire to help. He explains everything in detail and terms you can understand. Dr. Mike and Mady have a GREAT team! Very impressed all around!”

“Addi was wetting the bed 4 out of 7 nights. She was also having 45+ minute tantrums almost every other day over the littlest things! It felt never ending! With two other kids it was exhausting, frustrating and I felt guilty for being frustrated with her for things out of her control.

I started to realize that Congruent Life was making a difference when I was doing laundry one day and realized it had been TWO FULL WEEKS that I’ve been doing laundry without any pee undies or sheets!! It’s now a lot more calm, and a lot less stress! Addi doesn’t feel embarrassed anymore for wetting the bed… it’s been a full month now!”

“Colic and acid reflux were huge issues after Kendall was born. Due to both these issues, Kendall had issues with gaining weight. I felt like I was failing as a mom, since I wasn’t able to help her. Feeling helpless and extremely stressed, it started to take a toll on the whole family.

What Congruent Life had to offer was different because they listened to not only the issues Kendall was experiencing, but also how mom and dad were feeling about the whole situation.

I immediately realized that CLC was the answer we were looking for! Kendall slept for 4 hours right after being adjusted… and when she woke up after that she was coping instead of her typical screaming!

Kendall is now thriving! She does not experience colic anymore, and her spit ups are few and far between! The biggest moment for us was when she was weighed & was finally on the charts at her 6 month appointment! She’s growing both in size and developmentally!!”

“We originally started care at CLC for my son Tristan. Tristan suffered a traumatic brain injury at 10 weeks of age. He has cerebral palsy, cortical visual impairment (legally blind), seizure disorder, spastic quadriplegia, hip dysplasia, and was experiencing chronic constipation. He was so incredibly tight and only having bowel movements every 3 days. We also decided to start my son Armando who is on the autism spectrum and has a moderate intellectual disability. With the autism diagnosis came increasing behaviors and aggression because of his frustration from his sensory issues. I decided to jump on board too and start care as I’ve had back issues for a long time and was getting ready to begin PT again.

Since starting care we have reached many milestones! Tristian is now having MULTIPLE bowel movements a DAY which is amazing!! He is also vocalizing more and just appears happier! At his last neurology appointment, Tristan was able to detect LIGHT for the FIRST TIME EVER!! Since a month before school let out this year, Armando has not had to use his meds for his aggression!! We have also recently cut one of his other meds in half for the summer. Armando is very excited to come get adjusted regularly and he loves Dr. Mike! You can find him relaxing in room 3 the minute we are told we can go in! SO relaxed that he fell asleep one day! For me, my back pain is less and I’m just feeling pretty good overall! It feels wonderful to be getting adjusted on a regular basis!

The entire team at Congruent Life Chiropractic are amazing. We truly feel like family. Dr. Mike is amazing with the boys and he takes time to talk to them and have conversations with them. The whole team is amazing with the boys and answers Armando’s never ending line of questions! Dr. Mike does give me a little grief about my Lularoe addiction, but I suppose I deserve that. We are blessed to be a part of the Congruent Life family and thank God for connecting me with Jen who told me about this amazing place!”
