"I would strongly recommend anybody to come to you..."

"Hey Dr. Ron – this is Lisa Writt, just calling to tell you my story.  I’ve basically had a bad back since I was a kid – I had arthritis.  When I was pregnant with my daughter, I was in a car accident and came out of it with a herniated disc. 

I was treated for that – went through therapy, massage, and all that, and it didn’t help.  Then, a few years ago, I fell in my kitchen, and I’m guessing that’s how I got the second herniated disc. 

After that my pain was really, really bad.  I went and had an EMG done and they couldn’t specify which nerves were being affected, and the EMG was very, very painful. 

My family doctor sent me to a surgeon, and I was told by him that my only two options were to get cortisone shots, or if that didn’t work, have back surgery.  He said a lot of people wind up worse with the surgery, or it doesn’t help at all, and very few feel better. 

So, I went to go get the cortisone shots at St. Catherine’s Hospital and wound up in the waiting room for 5 hours, and during that time I spoke with a lot of the patients there waiting for their cortisone shots.  The story I got from about 20 people was that sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t – there’s no guarantee.  And, from what I’ve read, it damages your back more. 

So, anyways, I decided not to get the shots, and I found out about your practice from my father, and the first treatment I had from you relieved the pain from the pinched nerve that I had, and it’s just been getting better ever since then. 

When I went to that surgeon, I felt that I was heading to the point where I was going to be in a wheelchair – that’s how bad my pain was and how much it affected my everyday life. 

Like I said, you got rid of that right away, and with my discs, I’ve had a lot of improvement.  You got rid of that sciatica pain also, and that was really, really something.  I’ve had a lot of improvement in my neck and you got rid of my headaches also.  It’s all good! 

I would strongly recommend anybody to come to you instead of going to a surgeon."

"I’m actually walking, which I never would have thought I would’ve been able to do without the surgery..."

"Hi – my name is Joe McCarthy, and I had an accident shoveling snow and threw my back out in January of ’08.  I had to be taken out of the house by ambulance, hospitalized for 3 days, rehabbed for about a month and a half – everybody at that point told me that I needed surgery done on my back because my herniated disc was just so far out that they didn’t see any other way of healing this thing.

Upon hearing that news, and from others that told me the same thing, I approached Dr. Daulton.  I’ve know Dr. Daulton, Sr. for many years – and I asked him if he could do anything with it, and he said, “Joe, I don’t see anything here that we can’t correct – you might need surgery in your late 70’s or 80’s, but right now I don’t believe that you need surgery.  Let’s do some procedures.”

We did the spinal decompression with adjustments to compliment that, and here it is in June and I’m actually walking, which I never would have thought I would’ve been able to do without the surgery.

During that very depressing time I would go from room to room looking for a place to sit, or staying away from public gatherings because I just could not stand for more than 2 or 3 minutes at a time.  I basically isolated myself, and I just want to say that, through chiropractic care with Dr. Daulton, I’m walking, and I’ve entered back in to being a very active person again.

I still do my stretches, and I still occasionally get adjusted.  But from going from the conventional wisdom of cutting and surgery and doctors referring, to putting my faith in God and self-determination to get through this without surgery and with the talent of Dr. Daulton, he was blessed by God.

I’m not a person who wears my religion on my sleeve, but I believe that this man put me back on track, and it’s now up to me to maintain my physical health.

I just wanted to leave this message as a testimonial from myself."
