Stephanie W. knew her health was on the decline and that she could be feeling a lot better. She saw people around her who were patients of MHWC making positive lifestyle changes and reaping the health rewards.  She wanted that for herself. The months of not sleeping because of hot flashes, suffering from irritable bowel, medicating herself to try and help her cholesterol and thyroid numbers, and being overweight and not fitting into her clothes were taking their toll on how she felt inside and out. 

Stephanie decided enough was enough and began her journey to better health in May 2008. After listening to her situation and concerns, we looked at how her body was functioning as a whole. It was determined that a detoxification program and making some lifestyle modifications would be the right course of action. Stephanie admits her initial thoughts of making these changes were almost frightening, but within 10 days, she began feeling completely better. She then realized that the program really wasn’t nearly as bad as she thought it would be. Within 24 days, she had lost 11 pounds and was able to fall asleep easily, without terrible hot flashes. 

Stephanie now has a new outlook on life and realizes “the things we used to do, or what we were taught, are not always the best thing for us.”  She still cannot believe the good results she has achieved and highly recommends the holistic approach at MHWC to others who may be suffering from unnecessary illness.

Kira came to our clinic in January 2008 feeling like there was nothing that could help her. She had seen just about every kind of doctor and had tried numerous treatments including more and more medications. She hoped there was more out there for her and knew she was too young to just give up. Kira got to this point in her life due to a car accident 11 years ago.

After listening to Kira’s situation and concerns, we were able to put the pieces of the puzzle together and design a chiropractic and nutritional program just for her to begin healing. At the time she wrote this testimonial, she was feeling the closest to “normal” that she had in a long time. “It’s been wonderful”. Her infections have cleared up, she is on less medication, her brain fog is lifted, her night sweats are gone, her pain and headaches are reduced and she is getting the best sleep of her life! She is living again and urges everyone to not hesitate getting the individual care at MHWC. “The treatments have been a blessing. Give it an honest to goodness try.”

Ashley P. came to our clinic in the fall of 2007 with autoimmune type symptoms. These symptoms started in May 2006 and by October 2006, became so severe she did not feel she was alive. “I had no life and spent my days fatigued and in pain.”

Ashley saw her primary doctor, rheumatologist, allergist, ENT, gastroenterologist and a TMJ specialist. Despite much time, money and frustration, she was only given more and more medications for her symptoms.

Within 4-6 weeks of starting care at MHWC, Ashley reports she no longer has to depend on medications to make it through the day. She has 100 times more energy and enthusiasm and loves her life. “It has completely flipped my life around for the better. It is the real deal.” Ashley states that her recommended program at MHWC wasn’t always easy, but it was completely worth it.  She now shares her experience with anyone who will listen. 

Maria C. first came to our office in January 2007. Her main complaint was an inability to go to the bathroom. Everything she ate made her feel sick to her stomach. She was even having fainting episodes that seemed to be related to the stomach pain. She was unable to sleep at night due to the pain.

Maria saw a variety of gastroenterologists and endocrinologists that performed numerous procedures including blood tests, colonoscopy, glucose test, endoscopy, cardiovascular tilt test, CT scans and sonograms. She was given medication to help her go to the bathroom and to help her sleep. The medications made her go to the bathroom, but the other symptoms were still present. She was told she would have to live with the problem because there was no medical explanation as to why the digestive tract was not moving.

Since beginning care at MHWC, the causes of Maria’s problems were identified through muscle testing for total body function and food sensitivities. She has some food sensitivities that cause her digestive tract to slow down, and this creates a lot of bloating and pain. It was also diagnosed that Maria had misalignments in her spine where the nerves that control the digestive tract exit. This was causing the digestive tract function to be disrupted too. Her absorption of nutrients was being compromised, leading to hormonal imbalances, restlessness, and lack of stamina to perform daily activities.

After following the recommended program, by April 2007, Maria was sleeping again and waking up well rested, she had no fainting spells, and she was eliminating regularly. She now has the energy to teach third graders, perform daily activities, and be the mother of her two great children.

Maria really believes her future will be better due to the care she received. She emphasizes to others that may be suffering unnecessary illness that healing is a process and that it doesn’t happen overnight. You will get there. She highly recommends this approach to others and is having her children evaluated too in order to optimize their health and prevent future problems.

In July 2006, Alicia T. came to our clinic with MS symptoms that were becoming life altering. She had spent thousands of dollars over the years going to a variety of specialists. The results were surgeries and more diagnoses on top of her MS. She was told to take more and more medications and learn to live with the problem.

Since becoming a patient, she has found relief without medications. She has noticed more energy, fewer headaches, correction of her irritable bowel, fewer sinus problems, and more strength in her muscles.

Alicia feels her future is better due to the care she received and is looking forward to continued improvements. She “most definitely” recommends the care she received at Muskego Health & Wellness Center to others who suffer unnecessary illness.

Gail D. came to our office in April 2006. She had been diagnosed with irritable bowel, candida, multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue syndrome, and adrenal insufficiency. She had been plagued with fatigue that at times was overwhelming for the past 35 years. The digestive problems and chemical sensitivities were for the past 15-20 years.

Gail had seen various MDs, an orthopedist, other chiropractors, a homeopath, environmental medicine specialists, and a holistic dentist. Unfortunately, “none were able to look at the whole picture.” After spending thousands of dollars out of her pocket, she was told that fatigue was common, let’s rule out other diagnoses and just hang in there.

Within 4 visits at Muskego Health & Wellness Center and custom orthotics for her feet, Gail noticed she was better able to straighten up, breathe more freely, and had better range of motion. Within 6 weeks (the time this was written) she had lost 10 pounds and started noticing an improvement in the numbness and tingling she was experiencing in her extremities.

Gail feels excited about her future and is looking forward to making more improvements. “Dr. Jurack tied up all those loose ends the earlier health care professionals had left behind. As a retired medical social worker, I worked with many patients who filed for disability, but would have preferred to continue to work. Had they had the treatment I’ve received they might have been able to. Dr. Jurack clearly has more extended knowledge and training beyond chiropractic which makes her more effective than most.”

When asked if she’d like to add anything, Gail stated that she has been impressed with the efficiency of the office and with all the help she is given in all aspects of her program.

Rita first came to our office in February 2006. Her whole neck and back hurt her so bad that it woke her up at night. For the past 5 years she experienced acid reflux and pain in her intestines every time she ate. After seeing 4 different family doctors and at least 2 chiropractors, nothing helped the pain or stomach problems. Rita was told there was nothing else that could be done for her; after all she had a previous lower back surgery, and arthritis. Doctors gave her medications for her reflux and irritable bowel. Despite this, “things were getting worse instead of better.”

Within 2 months of starting care at Muskego Health & Wellness Center, Rita is able to eat without feeling bloated. She is now able to enjoy eating fruit which she couldn’t eat before. She is no longer waking up at night due to pain. She’s able to turn her head better, which makes tasks like driving a lot easier. She can breathe easier and feels more energized.

Rita finally feels like a human being and is glad she followed her inner voice that knew her aches and pains were not just because of her age.

“Thank you for caring the way that you do. Thank you for having faith and trust in what you do because that is exactly what you transmit to your patients...Hope for a healthy life.”

Nora started care in June 2005. Her reasons for seeking care at MHWC included allergies, asthma, chronic muscle weakness and soreness, swollen joints, wrist pain and fatigue. Nora had tried numerous allergy and asthma drugs, massage, stretching, and breathing exercises. Despite these treatments, Nora’s symptoms persisted, including the congestion and shortness of breath.

Five months after beginning chiropractic and nutritional care at MHWC, Nora has experienced a 90% improvement in her breathing and is no longer on medication. Her joint pain and swelling, and chronic muscle pain and weakness are all gone. Her energy levels have improved. She finds it “nice to not have to abuse my liver by taking so many medications at 34 years of age.” She’s happy she no longer has to spend $100 a month on co payments for her medications. “All aspects of my health were addressed here, not just my spine (and that’s much improved too!)”

Nora “ABSOLUTELY” recommends MHWC to others she feels suffer from unnecessary illness.

Terry H. first came to our office in September 2004. She was plagued with various symptoms that were thought to be fibromyalgia related. These included severe overall joint and muscle pain in her neck and back, numbness and tingling in her arms and fingers, severe fatigue, and trouble sleeping. Terry also suffered from constant pain related to a herniated disc in her neck and two in her lower back. Osteoarthritis caused her much difficulty when she tried to walk and move around in the mornings and at night. She felt like she was an 80 year old instead of a 39 year old.

Despite surgeries, physical therapy, and various medications, Terry’s symptoms progressively became worse over the years. All her blood work read as normal, she was very frustrated, and she was told she would just have to live with it for the rest of her life.

Since becoming a patient, Terry’s life has changed. She no longer has a constant achiness in her neck. She is sleeping through the night and has a lot more energy during the day. She no longer has numbness and tingling in her arms and fingers. She now feels like she wants to get up in the morning and doesn’t have to worry about moving around once she’s out of bed. Terry reports that before becoming a patient, she was always scared to work outside of her house because she physically couldn’t tolerate it. She is now working as a full time assistant kindergarten teacher. This job requires her to be on her feet most of the day.

Terry attributes her new found happiness to the treatment she’s received at our clinic. She now realizes it is possible to live without constant pain.

In June 2004, Meg T first came to Muskego Health & Wellness Center with frequent headaches, pain & numbness in her left arm, and pain in her left hip. She also felt fatigued all the time and said she had very low energy. She had seen a doctor who tested her thyroid and told her it was normal and an allergist who put her on Allegra, which helped a little bit. The doctors told her basically there was nothing else she could do.

Since seeing Dr. Jurack, Meg says she is sleeping better and feeling refreshed when she wakes up. She's also noticed that her skin is clear and she has a HUGE amount of energy. And because she has no more aches and no more numbness in her arm, she feels healthier and more vital. With her increased energy, Meg says that she has a more positive attitude and feels she has a better future due to the care she's received.

Meg recommends Dr. Jurack to all or her friends and family and to anyone who wants a better quality of life. Dr. Jurack looks at the whole body, the whole person in her care for them. And while the detoxification was a challenge, she feels it is so worth it!

Last summer, Sarah R had a dangerously high cholesterol (356) and had been taking Lipitor since 1999, prescribed by her internist. Although the medication did lower her cholesterol, she didn't want to be on medication the rest of her life as her doctor told her may be necessary.

After starting care at MHWC, Dr. Jurack determined that Sarah had an unhealthy body composition that needed to be addressed. Sarah diligently adhered to her treatment program and as of August 2003, she is medication free. Her doctor calls her progress "quite remarkable". Sarah lost over 30 pounds, her bad cholesterol had dropped and her good cholesterol has gone up-all without Lipitor.

Sarah says this has been a life-changing experience for her and she feels confident she will live a longer and healthier life. She goes on to say that she is 59 and never thought she'd be able to make the significant lifestyle changes she's made. She is glad she and Dr. Jurack crossed paths.

Sue M. came to see Dr. Jurack just after last Thanksgiving, looking for a way to change her lifestyle and eating habits that would result in greater health and weight loss. She wasn't looking for a fad or another diet, but something she could adopt as a lifestyle habit for the rest of her life.

Sue lost over 20 pounds in several months, never feeling hungry, even with a busy travel schedule that includes business lunches and dinners. She finds the program Dr. Jurack recommended very easy to stick to and has resulted in better fitness and more energy in addition to the weight loss. She also feels more positive about her future and would recommend Dr. Jurack's care to others. She added that the staff at MHWC is fantastic. They are caring, knowledgeable and service-oriented.
