Patient Stories, Page 11

I had chronic pain and stiffness in my hip, getting slowly worse, especially since I was thrown off my horse five years ago. It would get worse after an hour of riding. It was moderately painful and restrictive. I also had back and neck pain, for about a year. I was frustrated with this problem and didn’t know what to do about it. My yoga teacher recommended I see Dr. Mha Atma.

My impression of Dr. Mha Atma was of quiet competence. He recommended a few exercises and some ongoing chiropractic care. I experienced almost immediate improvement in pain and range of motion. Chiropractic has helped me a lot, so I’ve been telling my friends about it. After almost three months I still love coming to my treatments because my body always feels so much better after!

For a few months I had spasm in my lower back and tightness in my upper back. It was a very stressful time in my life and I was having trouble sleeping. My friend and co-worker Rahimah Shah saw my pain and convinced me to call and make an appointment to see Dr. Mha Atma.

I had never been to a chiropractor before. I was nervous about him cracking my back. I really liked that he carefully described the process, my condition and what he would do. He started a series of chiropractic treatments and also gave me recommendations about my posture, yoga exercises, and vitamins.

The treatment relieved my immediate pain and progressively helped relax my whole body. Dr. Mha Atma taught me to better care for my overall body and mind. I now recommend people to see him because of his knowledge about chiropractic and healing. I am a believer!

For two weeks my lower back was severely locked up and I was experiencing intense pain. The pain was shooting down my legs. It interfered with my home and my work life. I went to an acupuncturist and a chiropractor. Although I felt some relief, it was temporary.

I was having chronic back problems. I really wanted to address the underlying reasons. And I wanted to find relief without prescription meds.

I first came to Khalsa Chiropractic through my insurance plan. I found it very homey, warm and welcoming. Dr. Mha Atma recommended a series of chiropractic treatments, a high dose of vitamin D, and daily stretching exercises. After three weeks of 2 or 3 sessions a week, my pain level went from an 8.5 to a 3, and even better after that.

I recommend chiropractic to others because it has helped me immensely. I think it should be covered by all insurance. It should be used as a model for preventative care instead of waiting to get sick to be treated.

I appreciate all of the knowledge Dr. Mha Atma has shared. His staff is very sweet and professional. I also enjoy being able to get in and out of the office so quickly.

I had constant pain in my middle and lower back for decades—since the 1980s. The pain fluctuated from mild to severe. When it was bad I would have to take Tylenol or ibuprofen. I have sought treatment from many sources: physical therapy, acupuncture and chiropractic. The usual diagnosis was related to the sciatic nerve. Chiropractic has been the one treatment that has consistently helped me.

When I came to Khalsa Chiropractic I had not had any chiropractic treatment in a few years. I had no doubt it would help me. I found Dr. Mha Atma through my insurance plan. I liked the location and the staff and found the doctor to be very kind and nurturing. And the location was convenient.

Dr. Mha Atma recommended frequent treatments for a few weeks along with exercises. It has been three months since I started and I feel 100 percent better. The time involved had been little compared to the benefits.

I can see and feel the benefits of this treatment. It is a small investment to make to feel better. I highly recommend chiropractic and I only wish insurance companies would provide better coverage for its use. I consider chiropractic care to be good preventative medicine in addition to treatment for a painful condition.

I love the atmosphere at this office. The experience of coming her is pleasant and calming. Also the tea, great magazines and the apples make the good benefits received even better.

I had a throbbing pain in my lower back for months. It affected everything I did. I had the pain on and off for about ten years but in the last few months it was much worse.

I had been to a chiropractor only a few times nearly 10 years ago after I first hurt my back at work. A friend referred me to Khalsa Chiropractic. I found it to be a comfortable place. Dr. Mha Atma recommended a series of adjustments beginning twice weekly along with a few exercises to loosen and strengthen my back.

I felt better within the first few weeks of treatment. Now, after a little more than two months, I feel like a new person. Chiropractic care has helped me so much that I have been recommending it to several of my friends. I feel great!

I had lower back pain most of my life, and neck pain lasting for months. I had a hard time sitting, standing, and bending. Every time I went to the doctor for help they gave me more medication. I was taking lots of pain medication—all it did was make me sleepy.

I had never been to a chiropractor. I didn’t think it could help—I thought medication could heal anything or anyone. But I had tried so many different ways to stop my back pain and nothing had worked…and Dr. Mha Atma’s office was down the street from my house. So I finally came to see him.

The thought of coming was scary but the office felt homely and comfortable. Dr. Mha Atma is awesome! He advised me to change my sleeping positions, and the way I sit at work during the day—to hold my neck and back straight. Each treatment I kept feeling better and better. The first visit took an hour, and Dr. Mha Atma explained everything we would be doing. After that each visit is around 15 minutes.

I now recommend chiropractic to everyone I know. I feel it is the best way to stop pain, stiffness and soreness in your body. I now feel less stressed, less sore, and I can move in ways that before would have been very uncomfortable.

Dr. Mha Atma recommends lifestyle changes including diet, exercise and sleeping habits. All of his treatment is done without the use of drugs and surgical procedures. His approach to health care and wellness is wonderful.

I was not able to put any pressure on my right leg because of pain in my right knee. It started in November when I pulled muscles in my knee and had to walk with a walker and then a cane. My main doctor at Cedars sent me for physical therapy where I was treated with hot and cold and light exercise. I was getting better very slowly.

My daughter suggested I go to Dr. Mha Atma at Khalsa Chiropractic for treatment. I had not been to see him for over a year and I knew he had helped me before. I returned to the office in July, eight months after my problem began. I was again very impressed with Dr. Mha Atma’s ability and with the professional staff.

Dr. Mha Atma recommended I come twice a week for treatment and he adjusted my spine each time. Within two treatments I was able to walk without a cane and after two more visits I was able to walk up stairs without help. I am continuing with treatment to see how good I can get.

It would be a pleasure to recommend Dr. Mha Atma because he worked a miracle for me at age 71. I have told many many people about my chiropractic experience. I think chiropractic is important to maintain good health, especially with Dr. Mha Atma.

If I had come to this office last November, I would not have gone through the pain and frustration I experienced. I am deeply grateful.
