Low Back and Sciatica:  I suffered from Sciatica for about 10 months. I had constant pain from my right lower back down to my right knee and at times all the way down to the right ankle. The pain remained constant while standing, sitting or laying down and rated a ten on a one to ten scale. I thought I was just going to have to live with the pain! I started taking Aleve to hopefully get some relief but after taking two Aleve twice a day, there was no relief..
I met Dr. Guenther at a health fair held by my employer in November of 2009. At first seeing he was a Chiropractor, I just rolled my eyes and said “no thanks”, as I had a very low opinion of Chiropractors at that time. I begrudgingly listened to Dr. Guenther as we discussed my problem and he encouraged me to visit his office as he thought he would be able to help me with my particular problem. I was very hesitant as I viewed chiropractors as “quackpractors”. I was very skeptical and did not feel I would get any relief. Short of any other options, I went ahead and elected treatment as I did not want to continue with pain medication that I was not getting relief from anyway. In my original visit to Dr. Guenther’s office I basically told him in a stern voice that this was going to be “a waste of time”. After viewing my x-rays, Dr. Guenther explained my problem and told me he believed chiropractic could help me get relief. I decided to give it a chance as I really had nothing to loose, the pain couldn’t get any worse. After 3 weeks of treatment, I got some relief and decided to continue treating. After 7 weeks, I only take 1 Aleve per day and feel 80% better.

I would encourage anyone to not wait until the pain is unbearable before visiting Dr. Guenther. Chiropractic treatment may very well give you relief from pain. I am grateful that Dr. Guenther convinced me to visit his office and give chiropractic a try.

Low Back
.
I fell on my tailbone during an ice storm in January 2009. After
 that, I walked with a limp because my hip and low back were so sore. I could not walk briskly, play sports, even shop normally! I saw my doctor who said I should ice the sore areas, take Tylenol and just let it heal. I decided to consider chiropractic treatment. .
My dad had seen a chiropractor and got relief after a golf injury. I was very skeptical and scared! Actually, I was deathly afraid of what a chiropractor may do to me but I had been in so much pain for the last month that I was ready to try. I called Dr. Guenther’s office so many times with questions and concerns. I know I drove them crazy!
.
On my first visit to Dr. Guenther’s office I was literally shaking with fear (I’m not sure why). I think I asked him four times if this could hurt me. Dr. Guenther did x-rays and calmed my nerves the first day (the calming was NOT an easy task either!) He recommended I come back in two days once he had a chance to analyze the x-rays and test results, and I did (thankfully!). I felt better almost immediately!
.
I would tell anyone who is in pain and skeptical of chiropractic care that I was the biggest skeptic and chicken! I am so glad that I made it to Dr. Guenther’s office and followed through with his treatment recommendations. I am so happy that I got over myself and my crazy fears!! I fell on the ice again (1 year later) and the first person I called was Dr. Guenther for an appointment. I could not wait to go and could not be more relieved to know that I would feel better soon. I had no fears- I was more than ready!!
