Testimonials

“I started coming to the chiropractor in July.  My family doctor said I have sciatic nerve damage in my hip.  He also said I would most likely have to cut the nerve to relieve the pain in my hip and the numbness burning and tingling will remain.  I’m a runner! I’ve ran 5K 15K and a marathon.  I had a hard time walking.  I had a limp.  So I decided on an alternative chiropractic.  It was my best decision.  After three months I’m back to running races again.  This is a program that really works.  Thanks!”  AK

 

“Since I started regular treatments I have more energy and my posture has improved greatly.  I also have more energy and sleep much more comfortably.  Since the first month I haven’t used medication for acid reflux.  Before I used it 3 to 5 times a week.”  LA

 

“I used to be very skeptical about chiropractic care, but Dr. Siemers has made a believer out of me.  Before I started, I was on daily medicine for allergies and for heartburn.  I also struggled with energy levels and had a large area of eczema on my leg that wouldn’t heal. After being adjusted for awhile I began losing weight, I no longer take daily meds for allergies and heartburn and I am not nearly as tired as I was.  My eczema healed and over all I heal quicker when I have an outbreak.  I also have hardly been sick at all even when those around me were really struggling. I am very thankful!”     LE.

 

“I came to chiropractic for my lower back. After about 3 weeks, the pain was gone and I was able to focus on my posture.  I am becoming much more educated on how to improve my health by reading the white boards and after talking with Dr. Siemers.  I am really excited to continue on and get my body completely healthy.”  KO

 

“I seem to sleep better and snore less.”  GP

 

 “Not aware of constant back pain.  Feel better sleep better. After 1 appointment after the accident I was able to breath freely with no pain – deep breaths.  My neck isn’t so sore anymore (fibromyalgia) I feel better “in general.”  AG

 

“I have an improved sense of well being.  My family has a health focus.  We know what makes us better and we keep each other at it.  My memory and balance are improved. “ KJ.

 

“I used to have constant pain in my neck and shoulder, it’s gone!  As long as I stick with my traction I haven’t been sick since I started with my adjustments.  Dr. Paul really is concerned with everybody’s health and happiness.  I highly recommend everybody taking the time for better health!”  JO

 

 “Before I started seeing Dr. Siemers in September I had seen lots of doctors in the last 3 years. I had MRI’s CT’s’s even went through the Mayo Clinic. My leg went numb, my arms and hands. I had terrible back aches, neck pain and had carpel tunnel surgery on my left wrist. I was supposed to have it done on the other one too.  I went to bed with a headache and woke up with one in the morning. My day would consist of taking up to 12-16 Ibuprofens just to get by.  (Imagine how good that was for me?)

They told me I had a pinched nerve in my neck and I could think about having surgery. The Mayo Clinic doctor said I had severe degenerative disk disease and I would just have to live with it and not do my gardening and things like that.

I started going to Dr. Siemers in September and I cannot tell you how it has helped. After just a few sessions I noticed I had not had a headache. I first started feeling so much better. My numbness has pretty much gone and the wrist I was supposed to have carpel tunnel surgery on, I can’t explain it, I don’t even have to wear my brace to bed anymore. I am so glad I tried this treatment. I just can’t believe how much better I feel these days. Thank you Dr. Siemers”  BN.

 

 “I want you to know how nice it is to be able to breathe again.  I have been to a chiropractor before and always had my back return to its original position.  Which was not healthy for me.  I sleep better now.  I don’t need to be propped up to be comfortable and avoid acid reflex.  My hearing improved immediately with your first adjustment, and my eyesight has made it necessary to get my Rx changed.  For I can see better now.  I also walk better and have so much more energy.  I don’t require as much sleep as I used to. 

It may sound like a cli’che of what one reads of pat improvements.  Yet, this is my experience!  I won’t even go into complete detail of all my healing at this time.  I am waiting for the complete what you can eat cook book you’re going to write!  Thank you so much!”  BO

 

 “I have been a patient of Dr. Siemer’s since 2003. I can attest that the quality of individualized care I receive from Dr. Siemers is far superior to any other chiropractic care I have received.  When I am in Dr. Siemer’s office 100% of my time there is direct, hands on care. His adjustments help me stay upright and mobile and I appreciate that he offers extensive tools and techniques for self care at home.  I value Dr. Siemer’s care and quest for new techniques and information that will improve and update his practice.  I am determined to stay healthy and strong as I age and the care I receive from Dr. Siemers is an important part of achieving that goal.” CG

 

“I have less headaches and just feel better.  I have more energy and feel I am more in control of making good or better health choices because of the education and information that Dr. Siemers is giving me.  I don’t any longer feel that I have to resign myself to the health problems I currently have.”  AE

 

“When I first started seeing Dr. Siemers in April, I had constant neck pain, muscle spasms throughout my back neck and shoulders, and pain in my leg from sciatic nerve, and headaches.  I used to take two Advil almost daily.  Dr. Siemers told me I was carrying 21 lbs more weight on my left side.  When I had my next evaluation I was only carrying one pound more on my left side.  I believe in the six months I have been seeing Dr. Siemers I have only taken Advil once and that was quite awhile ago.  I was in pain constantly. Now on a scale of 1 to 10 I would say I have discomfort at 2.  When I do overdo my recovery is within a short while.  Used to be in pain sometimes several days because of something I did.”  JE

 

 “I started care in mid September.  Low back discomfort, poor posture, upper shoulder tension and overall awareness of these problems made me want to get something done about it. I was uncomfortable about these things for approximately 13 years starting in the early 90’s.  I’ve seen two doctors, one for shoulders and on for my hips and lower back.  Cortisone was administered to one shoulder and later surgery was done for spurs under both acromions.  Years of desk work commuting (long drives) and favoring one muscle to protect another has me where I am today.  No drugs were used for this.  A few activities were disrupted because of these problems, sitting on a motorcycle was one, always been aware of posture sitting walking very time consuming and distracting always worrying because I am so aware.  It was just a few weeks before I started noticing that I was sitting up straighter in the car, walking taller and noticing my shoulders were back farther.  My treadmill belt doesn’t move as much to the side as before uneven weights distribution.  Overall I am more comfortable all the way around in mind and body.”  MA.

 

“Two years ago when I placed myself under chiropractic care (after much research), my initial goals were to get help for the carpal tunnel syndrome of both wrists and to alleviate chronic back pain.  Well, not only have those goals exceeded my expectations, but I’ve had a few side benefits, some that were not expected.

Some of these benefits are I can look over my left shoulder without having to turn my whole body.  The knee and hip pain I had has started to go away. My posture has definitely improved.  Sleeping and working, or rather getting out of bed has become easier.  But, the one unexpected benefit that has made me the most happy (and is the one that took me by surprise the most) has been the effect on a few of my PMS symptoms, to be specific, back pain and menstrual cramps.  Both of these have been very severe in the past, and in fact, at times have left me incapacitated for hours at a time. 

It was gradual, but over the last two years, the cramps and back pain has started to lessen.  Only recently, have I realized that the pain (like all my pain) is now tolerable.  This meaning that even though I am still in pain, I am now able to take very little or no pain medication.  I know that I still have a long way to go, but that I have managed to come as far as I have, will, to be honest I never imagined it this way.  Some days are pain free and days that I do hurt are now manageable, most often with no assistance.  As I said before, my expectations have been exceeded and I can’t wait to see how much more they will go!  Thank you, Dr. Paul” JT.

 

“I have had lower back problems for about 30 years and have seen many doctors and chiropractors to help relieve the problem. My back would go out and I would be unable to stand or walk some of the time. I saw doctors that could never find anything wrong and chiropractors that helped relieve the symptoms, but over the years I had more and more headaches and pain in additional areas in my back. Of course as years go by I also had been involved in some car accidents and then my neck became a problem area. In March of 2003 I saw Dr. Siemers and was x-rayed and saw for myself where the problems lie. Surprisingly my lower back didn’t have a lot of problem areas; it is mostly in my upper back and neck areas. Now that I am under Chiropractic care I have much less pain and have a wellness that I haven’t felt in a long time. I still have some days when my lower back hurts but then after seeing Dr. Siemers and each adjustment and more time for my spine to get used to being fully functional the better I feel. I have even been walking for exercise and have more energy than I have also had in many years.”  JG

 

“I have been receiving care at CNC Chiropractic for almost 3 months now.  It has been hard work but after a couple months of stretching and adjustments, I have many fewer headaches and joint complaints. The tennis elbow in my right elbow is almost gone. The pain I would occasionally have from my left knee never bothers any more. I have had plantar fascitis in my left foot arch for almost 2 years. This pain is almost gone.

It has taken 3 visits a week and a few daily stretches at home to accomplish this. This has been a more involved undertaking than I expected but I feel it is well worth it. In addition to my reduced pain and increased flexibility I have more energy and am able to relax more readily.

I have been going to a chiropractor for many years because I believe in the philosophy of keeping the spine in alignment to prevent health problems. During this time I have tried to find a practitioner who could help with the chronic problems I have by actually changing or correcting the structure of my back. Dr. Siemers has given me hope or returning my back to an alignment or posture which will give me freedom from pain and full range of motion. At this point, less than a quarter of the way into the process I believe that we are making good progress towards our goal.”  DA

 

“It was July 10^th, Ellie’s one year well baby check up and her first birthday. Everything was looking good, until the doctor looked into her ears. Then those words I had heard 3 times in the last 6 weeks, “Well, it looks like another ear infection.” I groaned. Those words meant more antibiotics, more messy diapers, and a diaper rash that rivals third degree burns.  Then the doctor dared to utter the word I feared the most, tubes.

I had made up my mind after my nephew had tubes, two sets before his second birthday, that no child of mine was undergoing surgery for these plastic things. I had heard from friends that their children had to have them put in again two or three times! It is a personal choice every parent must make for themselves and my mind was made up. Ellie is NOT getting tubes.

On the way to fill the prescription I tried to think of ways to avoid the unavoidable. I had heard chiropractors helped the ear to heal itself naturally and without tubes, so that was my ticket. Once home, I called my friend, Catherine, and explained the situation. She immediately told me of this amazing chiropractor her and her family see, and gave me some literature. It turns out this chiropractor is her brother, Dr. Paul Siemers! I had been to chiropractors before and had taken Ellie’s sister, Rachel, to one as an infant to relieve the symptoms of colic. That’s when Catherine told me how much he has done for her whole family. They travel once a week from Mankato to Northfield to see him, so if we wanted to tag along we were more than welcome. So I packed up my whole family and off we went to Northfield to see Dr. Paul.

Well, it’s been almost 3 months and Ellie’s ear infection is gone. The doctor no longer is talking tubes, and Rachel (Ellie’s 3 year old sister) is no longer wetting the bed at night. Plus, I love getting adjusted! I feel better, and have more energy. “Power’s On!” The girls love going to ‘Uncle Paul’s’ to get “justed” as Rachel says. Thank you Dr. Paul for giving me my girls back! The difference in Ellie is amazing. I had forgotten what a good baby she really was until after she had seen Dr. Paul just 2 times! Thank you for everything we have learned from you, and thank you for getting my girls back on track.”  LP

 

“I starting coming to CNC Chiropractic at the persuasion of my parents.  They had been going for a few months and had had wonderful results.  They agreed that I should look into going.  At that time I was suffering from serve headache that wouldn’t go away or diminish with the use of any over the counter drugs.  I had used pressure points in my hands to lessen the severity, but that result was only temporary.  These headaches only seemed to go away if I slept it off.  I’d get them two to three times a week.  Having to deal with them was really wearing me down and my family could see the changes in my moods and me when I’d get these headaches.

Since I’ve been making my regular adjustment appointments, I’ve only had a few such headaches.  In fact, I can count their occurrences on one hand and I’ve been under Chiropractic care for over seven months.  That’s a HUGE difference when compared to multiple times a week.

Shortly after starting my chiropractic adjustment plan, I started waiting tables in a restaurant full time.  In the food service industry it’s very common for workers to get sick and have lingering symptoms.  Many people will get some type of bug every few weeks with coughs, sniffles, and such lagging behind much of the rest of the time.  I’ve been serving food full time now for six and a half months and have only gotten sick once with a slight cold.  I was fully recovered and rid of cough and sniffles in just a few days.  My body was able to repair itself and get back to a healthy norm in very short order.

I’ve noticed that my whole body functions better.  I feel more awake and alive to the world around me.  All of my senses seem to be heightened in some way.  There seem to be so many things that I never thought could get better, but they are.  I’ve been able to notice some of my own bad habits and have been working on changing them.” TN
