Advanced Wellness Center: Testimonials

I first met the AWC staff at the Columbus Arts Festival downtown. Agreeing to the consultation was the smartest thing I’ve done in a long time!

When I rode my bicycle through Colorado this summer, it was truly a group effort. I rode with the combined efforts and energy of the entire AWC staff. I would never have been in a position to do a ride such as this a few years ago but thanks to AWC I completed the ride with flying colors!

From the time you walk in the door to an enthusiastic greeting through the actual adjustment, you have the support of the entire staff. They are concerned not only with your physical health and what adjustments may be needed, but also with your overall health. I always feel strongly that they have my overall well-being in mind. They are interested and care about you as a total package – from your physical and mental health, to your hobbies, to who you are. Sometimes I think they are more excited about various activities and trips in my life than I am!

I have learned a lot of strategies to improve my overall health while working with AWC. From nutritional advice to general well being hints, the staff at AWC is constantly looking for additional strategies to improve their patients overall well-being.

As a cyclist I tent to stress my body in a wide variety of ways with aches and pains designed to stump the Doctor’s! I am confident that they will always do whatever it takes to get me ready to conquer the next mountain.

Thanks AWC – I couldn’t have done it without you!

There was a time in the near past, before chiropractic care, when we thought that headaches, indigestion, heartburn, backaches, moodiness, colds and numerous other ailments were a normal part of life. They were just something we thought you had to live with, as you got older. Boy, were we wrong. Not only is life so much better without many of these irritants, we realize that our children may never have to live with these things.

Aside from the exceptional chiropractic care from Dr. Troy and Dr. Heather, they have educated us on a healthier way to eat. This education has lead to both weight loss and a healthier family. Our kids have learned so much about the harmful ingredients in many foods. They can make smart choices on their own.

Thanks to Advanced Wellness Center we are a far healthier and active family than we were a year ago.

We are blessed,
Howie, Angela, Jake and Emily Pettengill

Who knew chiropractic could be fun?! More than just fun, Dr. Heather and Dr. Troy are a very important part of our preventative health team. We believe our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies are in great hands.

Through chiropractic we've noticed an increase in energy, better digestion, more peaceful sleep habits, as well as, more grace and ease in our frames.

We've recommended Advanced Wellness Center to many of our friends, family members and colleagues over the years and will continue to spread the word.

Thanks,
Lori & Jay Moffett

I have had many positive changes in my health and “mental health” since becoming a patient of Dr. Heather and Dr. Troy. When I began my migraine headaches, back pain and sinus issues were nearly constant. In the past I had seen every type of specialist; tried herbal remedies and exercise. What I appreciate the most is the whole life approach to wellness. The doctors have been the source of information on other holistic therapies and nutrition; they have worked in concert with my trainer and lent an ear during times of stress!

Today my headaches are very rare and I am in much better general health. I was even able to compete in the Monster Mash Figure Competition last year and the Flying Feather Four Mile Thanksgiving Day Run. Many thanks to my extended family!

My wife, Quenetta and I have been experiencing the whole health benefits from Advanced Wellness for over two years.  Our story prior to chiropractic care was one marked with a healthy lifestyle and a moderate amount of athletic activity.  Like many in similar situations, we lived
a healthy lifestyle but did not know or realize that something better was available.  For example, small cramps, body aches and minor headaches or back pain was attributed to growing older, not to posture, lifestyle or central nervous systems misalignments.

However, after a few short months of chiropractic care under Dr. Walker and Dr Peery, we both realized that a new "healthy" was upon us.  That initial discovery that we were healthy, but not at "peak performance", was epiphany.  Not only could we see and feel the positive changes that
regular adjustments made in our lives, but others could see similar and unique things about us as well.  For instance, I, Matt, have an office job where I sit at a computer for 8 hours a day and analyze scientific information.  After months of adjustments, my old sitting position no
longer felt comfortable and a new and correct posture was realized.  An added benefit to this was my work production not only was raised, but my quality and efficiency was improved as well.  Frequent breaks to refocus my eyes were met with more efficient use of my sight and less strain and headaches.  For Quenetta, chiropractic adjustments meant better nights
sleep, less back, shoulder and headache pains.  Not only that, but a renewed enthusiasm for exercise with proper form helped her energy levels and recover time.

In closing, I would like to add that both Quenetta and I have really taken a fondness to how we have been taught by Drs. Troy and Heather. We frequently joke about "needing our C1 adjusted" when we are rather irritable or discuss the location of the vertebrae when we have aches
and pains.  And this to us is just one of the many value added benefits to Advanced Wellness that our children will one day experience as well.

Warm Regards,
Matthew and Quenetta Gordon

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Dr. Troy and Dr. Heather. I have suffered with back pain for a long time... with spinal snyosis. After seeing Orthopedic specialists, getting shots to block the pain, my doctor said the only thing I could do was take pain pills three times per day. My neighbor and friend told me about Advanced Wellness Center and how they had helped her as well as people she knew. I was skeptical about chiropractor treatments, but I decided to try it anyways. From the very first treatment I was amazed at the pain relief. I stopped the pain pills and haven't taken any for months. What a blessing.

My husband has had back pain and “pain in the neck” (other than me). I finally convinced him to go... after two treatments his back pain is gone and his pain in the neck is gone.

My name is Barb and I have been a barber stylist for almost 30 years. Anyone who is in my profession knows what it’s like to have backaches. Leaning over shampoo bowls and bending and leaning to cut hair can give you backaches.

I had back pain daily. I would drive home from work every day with unbearable pain, go to bed at night and wake up still hurting. I went to a chiropractor years ago (one who didn’t use the “Activator Method”) and I didn’t have positive results. Most of the time I just worse when I left.

Since I have been seeing Dr. Walker and Dr. Peery at Advanced Wellness Center I can honestly say I can’t remember the last time I had that horrible pain from shoulder blade to shoulder blade.

Advanced Wellness Center is such a pleasant place to go to. The doctors are extremely knowledgeable and show you how much they care about your health. And everyone is so friendly.

Honestly, the worst part at Advanced Wellness Center is having to get up and leave! Go, you won’t regret it!

Sincerely,
Barbara J. Clapper

I initially came to Advanced Wellness Center to support my husband, who was having a lot of lower back pain. I have had low back problems for much of my adult life as well, but was not in pain at that time. Imagine my surprise when I threw my back out just days before coming in to see our exam results! I was skeptical, but I was desperate. I have been coming at least weekly ever since, and what a difference from Adjustment #1! I rarely have low back pain anymore, nor does my husband, and we live a very active lifestyle. Dr. Troy and Dr. Heather do more than work on backs, too - they have worked on (and corrected) just about every joint in our bodies! I am energetic, and have gained a new sense of bodily awareness. I have also consulted Dr. Heather about several internal issues, which she has helped me correct via nutritional supplements. Advanced Wellness has become a necessary part of our lives, which get healthier by the day. Thanks to all of you for helping us stay well!

As a family in whole I would have to say that the biggest success is that we all learned that we really do not have to live with the everyday pain! Also, we have as a family all started to think about the everyday things that we should and can change in our lives to make our overall health a lot better!

My daughter (in-law) Lacey started the whole family on the road to our exciting change of Chiropractic! Lacey now doesn't have to live with migraine headaches!!

My son (Jason) was the number one salesman for this change in our lives and he no longer has to live with back pain!!

My daughter (Jackie) after a bad car accident was told that she would just have to feel lucky that she was alive!! But that was not good enough for us!! Jackie realizes that she can be a normal human and not live in pain! Also the biggest plus for her is she did not have to give up her passion/career, she is now a full-time horse trainer!!!

My mother (Nell) who is 85 years old was in a car accident and could not hear at all when she started coming to AWC, she is now hearing better!!! The added plus to her visits are that she does also not have to live with the pains of getting older!! Her spirit is getting better and better everyday!!!

My husband (Bob) is changing every visit and he is now learning he can do anything he wants to do again!! Dr. Troy is Bob's answer to the perfect Golf Game!!!

As far as I go, my success is really being able to get back on my horse and learn to ride the correct way! Not just riding and saying this is the best I can do with my problems!!! My dreams are coming true daily!

The added enjoyment is hearing back from all the people we have sent to AWC how much this has changed their lives and the thanks for thinking about them and making them go! We all agree that this is one of the best decisions we have made!

Thank you so much to Dr. Troy, Dr. Heather and the staff for everything you do for my family and friends!!! You truly have changed our lives for the better!
