Hokenson, Ben, Dc Family Chiropractic At NW

Originally I came to Family Chiropractic with lower back pain. During treatment for my back, I told Dr. Duemling that my hands went numb occasionally at night. I am an accountant and it was suspected that I had Carpal Tunnel syndrome. He explained to me that it may be a neck problem instead. Since beginning chiropractic treatment the occurrences of numbness have decreased significantly. \r \r My overall health has improved since beginning chiropractic care. I exercise much more and really enjoy the health benefits. I take advantage of many of the classes provided at the center and I really appreciate the holistic approach to health provided by Dr. Duemling and staff. The knowledge I have gained from the classes and advice makes me want to take care of my body. In 2 months I will turn 50 and I still do not take any prescription medications and take only vitamins and supplements! \r \r Beverly\r more

2009 was a year of change for me. I was laid off in July and decided it was time for me to take care of myself. I decided to get healthy and change my lifestyle and eating habits so that I would be healthy and able to enjoy life more fully. I started on an adventure that I didn’t think would take me to where I am today. I started an eating program called Take Shape for Life and it has worked incredibly well for me. I have lost 95 pounds so far and still have a ways to go to reach my goal, but I know I can do it and keep it off. Because I feel so much better physically and mentally, I want to help others and have decided to become a Life Coach with Take Shape for Life. This is a program that has worked for me and I know it can for others. I have struggled with a weight problem all of my life and this is the solution. \r By losing this weight I have more energy and have been able to do things that I would never have thought possible. I was able to spend the summer picking and canning fruit and recently have been chopping my own fire wood! It is a great feeling to be able to now have energy that I never had before. I also bought a new home and now have the energy to take care of my huge yard and garden. \r EAT WELL, MOVE WELL, THINK WELL AND LIVE WELL are all things that are all possible now that I have taken care of myself. \r Kathy\r more

I thought the burning sensation in my neck and shoulder, and the tight muscles in my back were something that would always be a part of my life. Then I began my treatment at Family Chiropractic. \r \r I leave Family Chiropractic feeling relaxed, pain-free and happy. My treatment has made me more conscious of what the stresses in my life are doing to my body. The staff at Family Chiropractic offer encouragement to positively adapt to life’s challenges. How I choose to respond to those challenges that will have the greatest positive effect on my physical and mental well being is up to me. \r \r I now have more energy to put toward reigniting my soul and recreating myself to be the person I want to be. The person I was. I have started skiing again, I have lost weight and I have a more positive outlook. I WANT to have fun again! \r \r The caring staff area here for me; to fix me and encourage me to live a healthier more active lifestyle. All of which I am extremely grateful and happier for. \r \r Marlene\r more

When I first came to Dr. Ben six months ago, I came with a whole lot of pain and a recommendation for surgery from another chiropractor. There was nothing I could do that wasn’t painful…. I couldn’t sit, stand or lay down. Pain killers would work for an hour, maybe two. I hadn’t had a full nights sleep in several weeks, and simple things such as driving or cooking dinner were nearly impossible. I also had a two year old who couldn’t understand why mama couldn’t play with him, or pick him up, or do anything!\r Within a few months of working with Dr. Ben, that all changed. At first it was a major milestone just to be able to make it through the day. Now I don’t even think about it; I can do all of the things that were my reasons for being a “stay at home” mom in the first place. I can take my son hiking, or to the zoo. When we go to the playground or OMSI I can get involved and play too, not just stand back and watch. We can go out for a bike ride, or spend the morning at the kitchen table working on art projects. And most importantly, I can pick my son up and hold him when he needs me to.\r Jessica \r more
