One Atlas Adjustment Lowers Blood Pressure For Greg M.

 

Greg M said:

During the past 2 years my blood pressure has been running about 140/90 even though I eat well and excercise. During my visit to Dr. Shores he infomed me that my hypertension may be a result of a problem with my atlas. He corrected the problem with my atlas and later that same day my blood pressure had already started to drop. By the following afternoon my blood pressure was down to 124/82! Before this treatment I was resigning myself to the fact that I might need to start taking medication (something I try to avoid) to keep this problem in check. Now I know what was really causing the hypertension. Thank you very much Dr. Shores!

Pain From Lyme Healed

Marianne said:

Dr. Shores helped me to take my healing process to a deeper level so that I could completely heal from lyme disease. I no longer suffer from severe facial, jaw and ear pain, and everyday I am so grateful for how he helped me to get through this. My health crisis was complex and such a mystery to me, but Dr. Shores helped ease my fears with his confidence, taking it one day at a time. Through his valuable guidance and insight, I began to see the bigger picture and truly believe that it was possible for me to get better. His approach is well rounded and methodical, never leaving one stone unturned. I always feel comfortable with him and trust him completely. He is intelligent, compassionate, and intuitive. He spends a lot of his time thoroughly researching the latest health news and information, which is something I really admire about him. Because of his unwavering support and dedication to his patients, I no longer live with the constant fear and pain that I did 4 years ago. Today I live each day in the present, enjoying the incredible gift of being in a pain free body. Thanks Dr Shores!!!!!

Lactose Intolerance And IBS

After being diagnosed with IBS several years ago, I've dealt through the years with the pain and issues associated with this disorder. Recently I saw Dr. Shores to begin the Standard Products purification detox process. During the detox, the IBS was triggered and Dr. Shores reviewed the symptoms. His diagnosis was lactose intolerance. He suggested a lactase enzyme to help -- and it worked beautifully! It's hard to believe that for over 10 years, after many visits to several different gastro specialist and expensive scans and tests, the disorder was from lactose intolerance all along. Never once did the specialist run the simple intolerance test to diagnois this issue. Amazing!

I highly recommend Dr. David Shores to all of my friends and family.  While his method is not the usual cracking and popping you will normally receive from traditional chiropractors, he is remarkably effective.   Dr. Shores really knows how to get to the root cause of your discomfort and addresses each finding with varying methods depending upon the unique needs of your body.  He's not a "one maneuver fits all" kind of chiropractor, and that's a good thing!  You will find him professional, friendly, easy and comfortable to talk to.  Your office visit will be affordable and overall pleasant and satisfying.  You do not have to wait long to be seen.  I never feel pressured to set up a program or to make another appointment, yet I keep coming back!

If you're ready to try out the future of chiropractic care, I highly recommend Dr. Shores.

Baby Spits Up 6 Times In 15 Minutes! Wheat Allergy?

I have seen Dr. Shores for various things over the past few years, recently I took my 5 month old baby to get checked after we were in a car accident. During our conversation I mentioned that she spit up ALL the time! I counted one morning and she spit up 6 times in 15 minutes! She would even spit up 2 hours after she had eaten. Dr. Shores did a simple test and it showed that my baby was having and intolerance to the wheat I am eating. That simple test has changed my life! My baby rarely spits up anymore and it feels like a miracle. I am so thankful to Dr. Shores for helping my little girl feel better and solving our mystery. It really has changed my daily life of caring for my sweet baby girl!

Recurrent Lung Infestions and Cancer Update

To see Peg's origanal post go here http://drshores.typepad.com/dr_shores_wellness_blog/2008/11/patient-testimonials.html

On June 15, 2009 I got the results from a Cat Scan for stage 4 lung cancer. Praise the Lord, between the many prayers and Doctor Shores treatments, I can now say that 2 of the large tumors in my scaleen area of my neck are gone and the balance of the tumors in the neck and sternum are reducing. I was told I was going to die 3 times over the past 4 years from my Oncologist.  There was no further treatment to stop the progression of the cancer.  I was maxed out from Chemo and Radiation and with Doctor Shores persistance and care, I am happy to say that my family and I know that this cancer is not going to beat me. 

Doctor Shores has treated my immune system, infections, breathing difficulties, scar tissue from the radiation, sleeping difficulties, swallowing problems, and bladder issues, just to name a few.  Conventional Doctors don't tell you that the treatment for lung cancer is going to kill you, they only intimate it is the cancer. Doctor Shores was the answer to all our prayers.  I give praise to our Lord Jesus Christ first and a second praise to my good friend, Dr. Shores.  Dr. Shores' willingness to continue to learn and try new approaches with my body has definitely been the key to our success. 

If you are reading this and not picking up the phone to make an appointment for better health, then shame on you.  You deserve the best. 

Thank you my friend,

Patient Update - Retired Triathlete: No Longer Retired!

 

This is an update from my patient. To see his earlier post go to, http://drshores.typepad.com/dr_shores_wellness_blog/2009/01/retired-triathlete-with-chronic-fatigue-is-back-training.html

 

 

Hi Everyone,

 

It is with great joy that I let you know that I returned to the sport of Triathlon yesterday.  I competed in the San Diego International held in Spanish Landing.  I've been doing this race off and on since it's inception in 1985.  It includes a mile swim, 18 mile bike and a 6.2 mile run.  Modest by Ironman comparisons but fairly strenuous given my recent health challenges! 

 

This was my first race in almost 4 long years.  Bari and the kids were on hand to cheer me on and we had a great time.  I didn't race so much as I smiled and enjoyed the experience - consequently my times were not up to my 2003-2004 standards but I couldn't care less.  I'm much less competitive now but a lot more thankful to be blessed with the health that I have.  I have no goals or races on the horizon - just enjoying being active and fit again!  Also, I am enjoying golfing way too much to get Triathlon serious. 

 

I owe my current fitness to the great healer - My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Thanks to everyone who have been continually praying for me throughout the years.  I also couldn't have come back without the endearing and unending support of my soul mate Bari and the loving kids that we are blessed with - Conor and Audree.  Finally, I want to especially thank Dr. David Shores who has become a friend and mentor in many ways.  In six months under his care, I have regained my energy, my fitness and my overall well being.  He is a healer who is doing great things in the Lord's name.  www.drshores.com

 

It's good to be back.  God is Great!  1 John 5:4

 

Love,
