Experiences of Our Patients

Dear Dr. Cosselman,

I just want to let you know how grateful I am for all the benefits that I have received under your care. My experience with NUCCA treatments has been nothing short of fantastic, as I came to you at a point where I was told by the general medical community that I had to learn to live with my recurring migraine headaches and tinnitus. What I had not expected from NUCCA adjustments has really surprised me in a very positive way. 

As you may recall from my medical history, the symptoms for which I came to you seeking relief began shortly after a motorcycle accident in the fall of 2003. After more than a year of continuous visits to my regular general practitioner for X-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, and a plethora of drug prescriptions that I did not want, I was referred to an ENT and subsequently to a neurologist. I was not only told that they could not locate the cause of my problems but that there was no known treatment and that I should learn to live with my condition and medicate it when it became intolerable. 

Fortunately, I heard about NUCCA through a friend who had a very successful experience with the treatments in Oregon and I located you through the NUCCA website. 

I want to tell you that not only have I not had a headache since my first adjustment with you but that the tinnitus is also gone most of the time. Something that you might want to share with your other patients, is that the consumption of some alcoholic beverages tends to bring the tinnitus back. However, it quickly goes away if I stay away from alcohol. Interesting, isn't it? But wait, that is not all there is to my story. For reasons that I believe are directly connected to the adjustments you have performed on me, I no longer wake up congested every morning, as I did for over thirty years; I no longer limp because my left leg is no longer shorter than my right; and although I have always been a fairly fit individual, I now feel considerable better than I have in years. Lastly, I want to point out that I have been very allergic to cats for a very long time but that seems to have also disappeared since I started getting your adjustments. Before the adjustments, I could not tolerate being in a house with a cat because I suffered a very strong allergic reaction. Now I have taken in a stray cat, who has taken to sleeping on my bed and hanging all over me every opportunity it gets. Life is good - Thank You!

Sincerely...Manuel

Comments About The Optimum Health Chiropractic And The Care
I Have Received: holistic health tips and suggested treatments, can get emergency appointments even if it is Dr. Kellie's day off or lunch break, you are never hurried out of the office.

I began NUCCA care for my neck and shoulder pain that I had for three solid months and on & off for a year before that. It was constant and moderate to severe pain that made it difficult to work, drive and sleep, I was taking 20 -25 Ibuprofen a day just to survive! I had been to two other chiropractors. My experiences were good, but not dramatically positive. Other treatments for the pain ranged from physical therapy which did not help, acupuncture which may have helped slightly, and home traction that provided slight, temporary relief. The neurosurgeon had me scheduled for neck surgery! I saw Dr. Kellie three weeks prior to my scheduled neck surgery. A couple of days after my second adjustment, my pain began to ease dramatically. I was able to postpone and then cancel my surgery. I am virtually pain-free.

I now take care of myself better. I am more aware of the stressors in my life. I take time each day to do the “towel roll” meditation. I have improved my diet and exercise regimen in many ways.

If not for Dr. Kellie’s intervention, I would have endured surgery with its risk and rehabilitation time. Not only have I avoided surgery, I have learned about how to better care for my body.

The atmosphere and care at Optimum Health Chiropractic is friendly, personable, caring, relaxed and professional

NUCCA care was recommended highly to me by my friend Maudemarie. I had chronic pain, particularly in my legs for more than six months. I had been experiencing chronic pain from Fibromyalgia for more than ten years. I had used chiropractic for back pain with positive results, but didn’t like being “cracked”.

Since beginning NUCCA care at Optimum Health Chiropractic,
I am still sore and achy at times, but have much more time when
I am pain-free. I have more energy!

And the “side benefits” are that I pay attention to my body rather than ignore it because it hurts. I look at my posture; I check how I stand;
I notice when I do careless movements with my head and neck or arms. I also rest when I’m tired: what a concept!

Dr. Kellie listens to her patients. She is compassionate and thoughtful.
I think she may know about my over-all health better than any of my other care providers.
