Fibromyalgia / Chronic Fatigue
(Carla now works with the Lukas team. You will probably see her when you come in during office hours! Take a look at where she was and where she is now! At the present date, she is COMPLETELY free of all medications! )
Since beginning Upper Cervical Care my Fibromyalgia symptoms have decreased by 75% and my general health has improved greatly. I’ve gone from taking 8 meds per day to 3. Instead of feeling poorly every day and waiting for a day of feeling better, I’m feeling good every day and pray each night that I don’t want up feeling like I used to. So far so good! I’ve been out dancing, drove 8 hours to the beach and was able to enjoy myself once I got there. That’s amazing! Even my friends have noticed a change in my energy level! I’ve got a lot going on in my life right now, getting divorced, job hunting, house hunting. I believe that Upper Cervical Care has definitely helped me deal with it all. Thank you Dr. Lukas and Carrie for your care and support!

I’ve dealt with the pain and fatigue of fibromyalgia for 20+ years, and had tried everything I could find – medications, acupuncture, trigger point injections, cervical epidural, massage therapy, physical therapy and traditional chiropractic. In the short time I’ve been coming to Dr. Lukas, I’ve had a marked decrease in my pain and feel so much better. I’m expecting to see even more improvement as time goes by. Thanks!

Today, after just 4 months of Upper Cervical Care, I’m virtually pain free. 2 years ago, I was in so much physical and resulting, emotional pain that I was bordering on suicide. I had always been active and vibrant until I was “struck down” with chronic fatigue syndrome and bedridden for most of the day. I lost my husband, my job, my car and my house when I lost my health. After a couple of years I decided to “manage” it the best I could and went into business for myself so that I could rest for inordinate periods of time. One evening I was rushed to the ER with what I thought was a heart attack. Pain and numbness radiated down my left arm. I was diagnosed with “spasms” and prescribed everything from physical therapy to traditional chiropractic to steroids. Nothing helped except lots of pain killers. After disc replacement surgery (double fusion), the only recourse has been a heavy regimen of narcotics and other meds. The mood swings from the narcotics lost me 3 jobs and a fiancé. 4 months ago I heard about Upper Cervical Care and it made sense to me. My atlas being out of place was the probable cause of my pain and symptoms. Finally there was a way to fix it all. Now, 4 months later, I am no longer on pain meds and I feel 20 years younger.
