Age: 65

Health Problem: Asthma

Testimonial: "I have many medical problems including asthma that I was able to keep under control. One night in February 2007 the asthma flared up and there was no way to control it. I continued to have severe asthma attacks every night until October 2007. I was in the ER overnight several times and was hospitalized for 3 days in September 2007 and 5 days in October 2007. Fortunately, I found Dr. Gorman in October 2007. Under his care I haven't had any asthma attacks. There is no way I could thank him enough."

Health Problem: Irregular Menstrual Cycle, Anxiety, Increased Urination

Testimonial: "Dr. Gorman's treatments drastically help regulate my menstrual cycle. I felt much healthier after only 2 weeks of care. His techniques have reduced my emotional anxiety related to school and grades. He is also trying to help me balance my diet since I am a vegetarian. Dr. Gorman helped me realize how important it is to eat a healthy, nutritious diet and exercise daily. It is amazing to learn how every part of the body is connected. I learned that the liver has an impact on skin heath. Thank you for everything and I will definitely consider chiropractic care as a possible career!"

Health Problem: Tendonitis in Elbow, Trigger Finger, Back Pain, Hip Pain, Knee Pain

Testimonial: "I was seeing another chiropractor for approximately 1 year and got no relief. After about a month of seeing Dr. Gorman my elbow was 95% better and my finger was 60% improved. And my back pain, hip pain, and knee pain were completely gone. Fast forward to April, the start of my golf season. Typically it takes me 3 or 4 holes to warm up and by the 16^th hole I start to tighten up again. This year was different. I had no stiffness at the beginning or the end of the round. I have no problem getting a full turn in from the very first swing and because of that and the elimination of pain and weakness in my right arm I have regained the distance that I had lost - at least 20 yards on each iron and much more on my drives. Needless to say I am thrilled!"

Name: Helen Goeltzenleuchter

Age: 62

Health Problem: Bulging Discs in Neck and Lower Back

Testimonial: "I have numerous bulging discs in my neck and lower back that started 5 years ago. Two orthopedic surgeons told me I needed surgery. I refused and instead had 4 epidurals in my lower back. The first 2 gave me relief for 2 years. The next 2 did not give me relief but the nagging pain was tolerable with pain medication. Then in June 2007 I fell down the stairs aggravating my lower back and neck. I happened to visit the Care Giver Expo and like what I heard from Dr. Gorman's staff. Within in 3 weeks of starting treatment I was able to make a bed without pain or having to attempt it several times. I stopped taking the pain medication and have not taken my anti-depressant for over 2 weeks now. Four years ago, regular physical therapy did not help. I felt it was too strenuous for me and I feared it would do more harm than good. The stretching exercises that Dr. Gorman's staff taught me are mild and are doing me good! If i do not do them on a daily basis I start to feel the discomfort in my lower back and down my leg. I have recommended Dr. Gorman to my family, friend, and co-workers. Thank you Dr. Gorman!"

Health Problem: Frequent Headaches, Constipation, Skin Rashes

Testimonial: "I started seeing Dr. Gorman in November 2006 at the recommendation of a friend. As an RN working in a trauma hospital providing direct patient care, I am convinced that conventional healthcare doesn't work well long-term. My headaches were becoming more frequent and severe and visits to my primary care provider had not helped except to alleviate symptoms for a few hours at a time. I was ready for an alternative that would treat the whole person rather than symptoms only. I have found Dr. Gorman to be professional and very knowledgeable about many alternative therapies including nutritional counseling. Now, four-and-a-half months later, my skin rashes and constipation are gone and I have not had a headache in 8 weeks!"

Name: Diane Turing

Age: 51

Health Problem: Low Back Pain, Shoulder Pain

Testimonial: "I have had lower back pain for as long as I can remember. I started seeing Dr. Gorman after attending one of his lectures. Everything he said made sense and I knew he would be able to help me. At one point in my life, the pain was so severe that I went to a pain management specialist who gave me injections in my lower back that eased the pain but I knew the shots did not CURE the problem. Under Dr. Gorman's care, I have greater range of motion and less pain. I never thought I would be able to do the things I use to do, such as horseback riding, skiing, and biking. Now, I believe these things may be possible again and I am really excited. Thank you Dr. Gorman!"

Health Problem: Elevated Cholesterol Levels

Testimonial: "Due to Dr. Gorman's "Cutting Edge Care", I was able to lower my cholesterol level from 252 to 189. This was accomplished without any medications. I only took natural supplements recommended by Dr. Gorman. These supplements did not have the side effects that a statin drug would. I am very happy that I followed Dr. Gorman's advice. He proved to me that there truly are natural alternatives to prescription drugs."

Health Problem: Back Pain Radiating Down Leg

Testimonial: "I had x-rays done because I was in so much pain but Dr. Gorman saw nothing significant on the x-rays. He told me to stop eating foods that have partially hydrogenated soybean/cottonseed oil in them. I did not think this could have anything to do with my pain but I tried it anyways. After a couple of weeks the pain was gone completely! Now when I am in the grocery store I read the ingredients in everything I buy."

Age: 15

Health Problem: Stomach Pain, Rib Pain

Testimonial: "I had extreme stomach and rib pain. A year and a half ago, a sharp pain developed in my ribs. This pain grew stronger and stronger to the point where I felt like it defined me. I couldn't sit or do the regular activities of life without being weighed down by my pain. First I went to my family doctor, where they said that I might have mono because my rib was starting to push away from my stomach. I knew that I did not have mono. We then went to a pediatric gastroenterologist where they said that I had a stomach ulcer and the acid in my stomach was agitating the open wound.This seemed great - a possible explanation and end to my pain! The doctor gave me a medication that would neutralize the acid in my stomach. It was an eight week course of medication that worked great for the first couple weeks. However, soon enough the pain was back, but this time worse. I had an allergic reaction to the medication that made my whole body swell and retain water. Not only did I have physical pain, but I had the disappointment of treatment not working. I was told that the swelling would go down, but it never did. I had many tests, ultrasounds, bacterial tests, urine tests, and an endoscopy. I felt depressed and hopeless, everyone could see the change in me. My mom went online and looked for a doctor that practiced holistic medicine. This is how we found Dr. Gorman. We were encouraged by some of the stories he had on his website and his own personal story. We called his office and they said that he could help. This to me was an ounce of hope. After my first visit I felt a difference. The pain in my stomach was not so intense and occurred less frequently. My whole attitude changed. I was so happy and relieved. I have been going to Dr. Gorman ever since and I now rarely have pain. Dr. Gorman has really helped me."

Health Problem:  Respiratory Problems

Testimonial: "I have had major health problems ever since I was born, from severe acid reflux, to respiratory problems and joint aliments to throat spasms, etc. I loathed doctors because every one I met never seemed to fix the problem but instead always wound up giving me two more prescriptions and another diagnosis of what I had. By the time I was 16 years old, I was taking 11 medications daily just to feel normal throughout the day. At the age of 23, the first time I met Dr. Gorman, I was very skeptical about alternative medicine, but my health was at such a low point that I had just spent a month in the hospital and was willing to try anything. Dr. Gorman was very understanding and listened to my entire history of health problems and concerns. He spent extra time educating himself about my particular problems and we discussed the best way to rebuild my immune system. Dr. Gorman explained to me the extreme importance diet has in one's overall health and showed me I was eating things on a daily basis that were contributing to my problems. Over time, I started to trust Dr. Gorman as the only doctor who was actually contributing to my overall health instead of masking the problems with medicine. He knows that to earn my trust as a doctor means a lot.  I give his name out to anyone I meet who is not feeling their best, because as Dr. Gorman has shown me, anyone can stand to improve one's health. I am currently only on two medicines daily and feel better than I ever have, especially after I receive adjustments to align my spine and neck. If I go too long without them, I can feel a difference in my body not functioning properly. My body is finally on its way to recovery, and I could have never have done with it without Dr Gorman's help. He's the only one I trust!"
