Testimonials

Test #1: When eating, I noticed I was unable to ever raise my elbow off the table. When I pointed my arm, it would burn. My MD was unable to help me with surgery or medication. I began working with Dr. Fredricks and within 3 months my arm returned to full painless use. Thank you Dr. Fredricks.

________________________________

I was only given two options, live with the pain or get a shoulder replacement. I had already had a knee replacement and didn’t care for another surgery like that again. Dr. Fredricks had already worked with my low back and had great results so I thought I would see what he could do with my shoulder. Being 70 years old, I didn’t set my expectations to high, but I am happy to admit I was wrong. Throughout the course of care, I continually made progress. I gained back about 70-80% full use of my shoulder without surgery.

I have been an "athlete" or one who has pursued athletic endeavors my entire life. With all the abuse I put my body through over the years I began to pay for it about 10 years ago. I was an avid runner and had to give that up for power walking - a tough change for a competitive person. I gave it up because my knees and hips began to ache and stiffen up after a vigorous run or simple house cleaning tasks, for the rest of the day and often beyond. I worked on all the remedies I knew how to do - massages, stretching, strengthening, medication, etc.

I was whining to my sister one day when she suggested that I go to see Dr. Charles. The initial visit involved having a "body" x-ray taken on which Dr. Charles marked spinal deviations (from the "normal" skeletal curvature). It was determined that I had a tilted pelvic girdle. My cervical spine also leaned in the wrong direction - most likely due to years of compensating for the pelvic tilt.

It only took a few treatments in which Dr. Charles worked his magic and I was feeling better than I had for years. In fact, I had forgotten how it felt to be pain free. Then with pursuing treatments I walked taller and lighter each day. I felt like I was walking on clouds. My painful hip is no longer an issue thanks to Dr. Charles."

"Dr. Fredricks definitely exceeded my expectations as I can still get in and out of the car, go up and down stairs and get up from kneeling much easier, 6 months after."

"I was skeptical, but what did I have to lose!

After many months of lower back and hip pain I was willing to try anything. It had gotten so bad that sitting was painful; I had trouble sleeping because I couldn't get comfortable and walking was getting increasingly more difficult. With two new grandsons, I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to get down on the floor and play with them.

Dr. Chuck did a thorough examination, evaluated my x-rays and prescribed an exercise and traction regimen that has literally changed my life. I'm more flexible, have only rare flashes of pain, and have learned how to sit, stand and walk to avoid and eliminate the excruciating pain I was living with. And yes, I play on the floor with my grandsons with no problems.

Dr. Chuck's work with me has changed my life from that of a woman in constant pain to one who is back to enjoying a very active life.

Thanks, Dr. Chuck!

"I highly recommend Dr. Fredricks. I was scheduled for a knee replacement surgery and was seeking another opinion. With Dr. Fredricks' conscientious determination and focused interest, I now walk without a cane or use of the walker and needless to say did not have surgery"

Back to Top ________________________________ "Six months before I met Dr. Charles, my car had been flipped onto its roof after being hit by another car. At first, I started getting treated by another doctor for my neck and back pain from the accident. The treatments seemed to work for awhile then gradually less and less.

Eventually, I was in constant pain and my arms were going numb. I was becoming depressed because I felt I was getting worse and didn't know what to do. I was unable to work as much as I needed and going out with my friends wasn't even fun because I so uncomfortable all of the time.

The care I received with Dr. Charles was very different than what I was used to. I now feel almost 100% better. My pain is nothing like it used to be, my head doesn't feel heavy anymore, the numbness is gone and my whole attitude has changed for the better. I am now working full time and am enjoying going out with friends again."
