"My health had slowly begun to deteriorate. I was losing weight, my stomach aches were becoming more and more severe, and I couldn’t sleep through the night because of my back pain. My family practitioner only prescribed an antacid, it worked at first, but soon was completely useless. The stomach aches persisted and I would sometimes spend entire days curled up in a ball on the couch because of the intense pain. I then turned to gastrointestinal specialist.  They ran some tests and said they were unsure of the cause, so I underwent a colonoscopy and endoscopy- at the age of 22. They found nothing major and told me to continue to stay on my prescribed antacid (a medicine that was only supposed to be taken on a short-term basis). I now had thousands of dollars worth of medical bills and still no answers. What was causing all this pain? Why was my body shrinking away? Why did my back hurt so terribly?

I then went to a different general practitioner in hope of getting a different perspective. I was desperate for some type of help. By this point my weight was below 100 pounds and I could hardly function on a daily basis- I was constantly exhausted. This doctor asked me if there was any way that I could have contracted AIDS. I left her office in tears. Another doctor that provided me with no relief.

Nothing was working and I was taking handfuls of medicines every day to try to dull the pains. I decided to stop. I stopped taking all of my medications and to go the “all natural” route. I went and saw a naturopath/herbalist. He told me to take a variation of hundreds of dollars worth of vitamins and supplements. I did this and continued to lose more weight. I was now at my lowest-91 pounds. I was scared. Very scared. And so was my family. I was 22 years old and my future was looking very bleak.

One day on a trip to the health food store I came across a flyer for a talk on health and wellness being held at the YMCA. I was at the end of my rope, and I did not know where to turn. So I went, what did I have to lose?

The start of my road back to health began that day at that talk-that is the day I met Dr. t. and learned about chiropractic care. I went to his office right away and he discovered that I had severe subluxation in my spine and scoliosis. My health was so terrible because my spine was in horrible condition. Subluxation in your spine = problems with your body. I finally knew the real, true cause of all my problems!

Within the first few weeks of my chiropractic care with Dr. T. the weight slowly began to come back on, my stomach aches lessened, and my back pain went away. I had more energy, I was not nearly as lethargic as usual and overall I felt a huge sense of relief and happiness……Dr. T. and chiropractic saved my life! "

“My health problems started in 1990 when my back went out while teaching one of my PE classes. The MRI showed stage 3 degeneration in my lumbar 1, 2, 4 and 5, causing severe sciatica in both legs and putting me totally out of commission to teach, coach & officiate. Both a chiropractor and a physical therapist agreed, my body was totally abused through basic over use and abuse. I had treatments, but they never really focused on correcting my problems. When I felt better, I went back to my old ways and bam, reoccurring problems. I repeated the same pattern for over 15 years, except that I had to give up coaching and refereeing so that I could finish my career in teaching PE.

It was in 2006 that the intense pain had moved into my arms. Being told by a neurosurgeon that he wanted to fuse two discs in my neck suddenly woke me up to reality. I was just plain tired of the pain radiating down both arms, a lower back that was always off and a bad posture.  I wanted to rebuild my back and neck so I could do the things I love doing. My entire life & career was centered on being active. I’m a person who definitely wouldn’t be happy unless I was playing tennis, jogging, boating, windsurfing, etc.

To be able to do this I needed to find the right person and I did, Dr. T. Foster Bryant. Dr. T’s words of encouragement and his thorough approach in the correction of my spine, along with my own commitment, was the winning combination. Without Dr. T’s knowledge and expertise none of the activities I’m doing today in my retirement would be possible. I am playing tennis 6 days a week pain free! I am sleeping through the night. My physical movements of balance, coordination, reaction time and speed have all come back and my posture is up-right!

I feel like a kid again, just older in age. Nothing comes easy, everything we do takes work. To be able to maintain a healthy lifestyle you have to invest in yourself, no matter the cost or time it takes.  I thank God everyday for his blessings and I am so glad I invested! I am having a ball! Thanks Dr. T.! “

“I am a retired 60 year old man and avid golfer. I spend 5 – 6 months in Naples. My first visit to your office in the spring of 2007 was for two reason; pain in my right shoulder & arm and low back pain. I had never seen a chiropractor before and thought you might be able to relieve me of the pain, because I did not want to have surgery.

Thanks to you, I no longer have the pinched nerve in my neck that was causing pain in my right shoulder and arm and degenerative low back problem that has been causing me pain for over 30 years is controlled. I must also tell you that my golf swing has never been better and my handicap is lower that it has ever been!

Thank you Dr. T for also relieving me of the pain I had after a canoeing incident this past fall in Wisconsin (Sept. 07). I saw a chiropractor in Wisconsin, with no relief. I was in so much that I saw my Wisconsin MD. He put me on a narcotic (Vicadin) and muscle relaxant. I was taking up to 5 Vicadin a day for 3 weeks! I returned to Naples early in October and after 3 adjustments I was able to get off all the drugs and return to my normal life! Thank you Dr. T. for all that you have done for me!

“Prior to receiving chiropractic care, I lived with lower back and hip for 10 years. I would experience numbness that would radiate from my hip to my knee. This made it difficult to run longer than ½ mile at a time. My neck pain had gotten so bad that I was holding it so my hand could support its weight.

I no longer have neck pain. My numbness in my leg & knee have dissipated. I have returned to running 5k’s without problems and even achieved a personal record in my last race!”
