Terry Health problems: I suffered from migraines that would last weeks at a time and would become more severe with activity. I had moderate neck pain that never went away. I also had lower back pain that got worse with sitting for long periods of time. Treatments tried before chiropractic: Went to family physician and took several over the counter drugs… Tylenol, Advil, and Excedrin to name a few. I was referred to a neurologist for CT scan, MRI, and a MRV scan. Nothing appeared so I was put on Topamax for two years taken daily (100 mg). Changes in health since chiropractic: I no longer have lower back or neck pain. I do not have migraines anymore and I have been medicine free for three months now. I have more energy to do the things I love to do and missed out on before. I felt 100 times better just after twelve adjustments. Candace Health problems: sinus infections, migraines, PMS, difficulty walking Treatment tried before chiropractic: diet, regular physician visits, yoga, meditation, orthopedic surgery Changes in health since chiropractic care: no more migraines, no more sinus infections, ease in walking, no PMS Maggie When I first came to Dr. Pete’s office I was having major neck and shoulder pain. I also had allergies, sinus problems, and major stomach pains. I was taking four different types of medicines. Through the 30 days I have been at Dr. Pete’s office, I have noticed a lot of changes. I am sleeping better now, and I have not taken 1 single pill in 30 days! I am so glad I come to Revolution Chiropractic. It has changed my life completely!

Depression is gone. I sleep good for the 1st time in years. Ken Health problems: low back pain, loss of energy Treatments tried before chiropractic: 1 back surgery in 1996, numerous epidurals – some helped temporarily but some did not Changes in health since chiropractic care: less back pain, considerably more energy Erica Griggs (mom of Makena Griggs) Health problems: Makena was born with sternomastoid torticollis after a traumatic birth. This left her neck tilted and turned to one side. Treatments tried before chiropractic: We went through a year of physical therapy at $50-$60 a visit (3-4 visits per week). We saw improvement, but she still tilted her neck to one side. Change in health since chiropractic care: After 5 months, she no longer leans to one side. Her neck is straight when looking at her from the front. There is no noticeable tilt. Holli Health problems: PTSD, hypermobility syndrome (severe “double-jointedness” which causes inflammation of the muscle and ligaments), muscle spasms, headaches, weakness, tired all the time, colds, and many more that I can’t remember Treatments tried before chiropractic: Zoloft, Celexa, Prozac, Paxil, and many pain meds Changes in health since chiropractic care: I am taking no medication. In August 2008, I was told I had no choice but to manage my pain through medications for the rest of my life. I am only 23. Desperate for another answer, I found Dr. Pete because God led me here. I’ve never felt better. I’ve even dropped from a size 14 to an 8/10!!! YAY!!!! Alyse Health problems: low back pain since 4th grade (due to being hit by a car at 45 mph and received concussion and minor nerve damage), migraines, menstrual problems – irregularity and pain! Treatments tried before chiropractic: used to take 1500 mg or more of Naproxen, Skelaxin, and Imatrex a day. Various other meds such as birth control – which caused migraines and numerous other problems Changes in health since chiropractic care: I was off all meds after 1st adjustment. I haven’t had a migraine since beginning care and menstrual problems have ceased. Back pain is still present, but not as bad. I can stand longer and am able to hold my back up straight!!! Zachary Health problems: trouble sleeping, loss of eye sight, cramps, constant headaches, cricks in the neck, pain near kidney area, snoring Treatments tried before chiropractic: drugs, lots and lots of drugs!!! Changes in health since chiropractic care: no more trouble sleeping, better eye sight, no more headaches, no more snoring, cramps, or neck cricks David Health problems: back and neck pain and severe migraine headaches on a regular basis, also diagnosed with Tourettes syndrome about 10 years ago Treatments tried before chiropractic: I tried different pain medications as well as numerous muscle relaxers and migraine medications. Took medicine to control Tourettes 4 times daily for about 9 years Changes in health since chiropractic care: Since I started chiropractic care I have almost no back or neck pain, and when I do experience it, it is very mild and short in duration. Also my migraines which I have dealt with since I was about 15 years old (20 years) are almost non-existent. Haven’t taken medication for Tourettes since October of 2008. Thank you Dr. Pete for turning the power on in me and my family!! Mattie Health problems: lower back and leg pain also high blood pressure and neck problems Treatments tried before chiropractic: I have had 3 surgeries on my back. The doctor says I need another one but I refused. Changes in health since chiropractic care: I feel 100% better! I can do a lot of things I couldn’t do for a long time. I am so glad my sister heard you on the radio and told me about you. It has really changed my life for the better. Thank you so much! John Health problems: prostate problems, painful knee and back Treatments tried before chiropractic: on 3 medications, not really helping to cure – only helping symptoms Changes in health since chiropractic care: off all medications and greatly reduced pain, not too shabby at 72 years of age! Thanks Dr. Pete for your encouragement! Janet Health problems: headaches, burning, and numbness in legs and feet, have slight depression and severe at times, lower back pain Treatments tried before chiropractic: I had been to the “doctor” several times and would be given pain medicine which made me feel better but worse in other ways. Had knee surgery and was not successful. Have been on anti-depressants for 2 years. Changes in health since chiropractic care: The headaches have ceased, I have no burning or numbness in legs, I have not had any form of medication (prescription or over the counter) in 4 weeks. There is no depression and my energy level has increased. What amazes me the most are the things that are changed that were wrong and I have just accepted as “normal” for me. This includes sleeping – I sleep 6+ hours now where I was waking up every 1½-2 hours. I struggled with acid reflux and this has stopped too. I just feel 100% better today than 4 weeks ago. I feel I am a better wife, mother, and grandmother because as Dr. Pete says “The power has been turned on.” And as long as that power stays on I will continue to heal! My family is on the same program as myself, and I see changes in them as well and that always makes me happy and thankful that Dr. Pete was in the mall the one day that I went there (I may go to the mall once a month if that often). So for me this whole thing is a God thing. He placed my family and Dr. Pete at Stones River Mall at the same time and through Dr. Pete’s knowledge and care of people God is working in my life so that I can live pain free, drug free, and be healthy. Dr. Pete – you and your staff are amazing. You make me feel I’m the only one there sometimes, never too busy (even when the room is full) to answer questions. Diane Health problems: For years I had lower back pain and slept with a “hot sock” under my back just to relieve it enough to fall asleep. Also, last year my knees hurt so bad I was afraid of losing my job for restricted activity and afraid of possibly needing knee surgery that I could not afford. I walked VERY slowly and had difficulty with stairs. Treatments tried before chiropractic: none Changes in health since chiropractic care: My lower back doesn’t hurt anymore. I forgot about it until writing this. My knees are so good now that I just went on a field trip with my granddaughter to the Cumberland Caverns, up and down and over rocks, uneven ground, and WOW!!!!! No pain!!!! No restrictions in movement! Full pace keeping up with group! Thanks Dr. Pete and thank you Jesus!!! Dr. Pete, (She wrote this letter to him privately. I don’t know if we should use it for anything, but I put it in here so we have it, Britt) This not a testimonial. You have changed my life. I cannot express how thankful for you I am. Whether you know it or not you have saved me… mentally and physically. It was torture to walk in to the kitchen and see a knife. To see a knife and want to hurt myself was awful. But now thanks to you I can walk into any room in the house without feeling like I have to look for something to cut with. Thanks to you, I have my life back. I not only feel better but think healthy thoughts. It used to be that over the period of a month I would be tempted to take my own life at least, if not more than 4 times. I can live a real life, so thank you for everything. For my newfound hope, love for life, and overall happiness to be alive. Sincerely, Andralitza Becky Health problems: lupus, insomnia, depression, migraines, digestion problems, stroke, frequent sinus infections Treatments tried before chiropractic: 9 different medications, sinus surgery Changes in health since chiropractic care: completely off all medications, sleeping without sleeping pills, controlling migraines without medication, energy, no problems with digestion Betty Health problems: pinched nerve in my back, arthritis all over my body, acid reflux, bursitis in shoulder, very high blood pressure Treatments tried before chiropractic: physical therapy, epidural steroid shots, back surgery March 08, I tried muscle relaxing medicine and many different medicines for acid reflux, including nexium. Changes in health since chiropractic care: after 1 week of care the acid reflux has stopped. I have not taken any medicine for it. When the x-rays were taken and I looked at them, it was shocking and a wake-up call. I could see I was in real trouble and could not continue as usual. If not a premature death, my quality of life was slipping away fast. Thank God for working through Dr. Pete that helps so many. Dee Health problems: damaged rotator cuff, pinched nerve in leg, allergies, insomnia Treatments tried before chiropractic: general practitioner, orthopedist, pain medications, allergy medications Changes in health since chiropractic care: my arm with damaged rotator cuff is pain free.

He saved me and gave more the will to live life and the health and wellness to fix my back.
