“I Was Ecstatic About My Appointment. But When I Got There The Nerves Set In…”

I was recently in an auto accident where I suffered a neck injury. While feeling nothing at first, about a week later I could not turn my head to the left. After talking to some friends who had their chiropractic experiences, I decided to call one. I called Dr. McCluskey based on convenient location and I am really glad I did. They got me an appointment right away, and the receptionist assured me they could help. After a week of pain and having to take care of 2 small kids, I was ecstatic about my appointment. But when I got there the nerves set in and I was afraid of the twisting & cracking. When I met Dr. McCluskey all my fears & nerves were gone. He made me feel comfortable & with the x-rays he showed me exactly what was wrong & how he would fix it. I first started with massages. I was in heaven and it really worked. The pain slowly went away & by the end of the hour I felt better. Then I got ultrasound & cold laser therapy, both were very soothing. I then got moist heat (my favorite) & the Activator adjustment. No pain just a few clicks and I felt better instantly. After a few weeks of treatment the pain disappeared. I started rehab visits, where I had the traction machine massage my back & neck & I did exercises to strengthen my neck muscles. It was a lot of visits but well worth it. My neck pain from the accident is gone & I don’t get the sinus & tension headaches I used to anymore. I can actually wake up without pain and enjoy my days at home with my kids.

Thanks for all your help, Dr. McCluskey, & all my friends at your office!

“I Love The Activator…It Is Very Pain-Free, Gentle, Surprisingly Pleasant.”

Upper and lower back pain. Left knee, left upper foot, left heel spur, both wrists from sprains, possible TMJ. The pain in my lower back showed immediate improvement/upper back after a couple treatments. Other parts are feeling relief. Activator Treatment: “Wonderful! It is very pain-free, gentle, and surprisingly pleasant. I have gone to other chiropractors and I usually left hurting. I love the Activator because it makes me feel better. Cold Laser: My foot problems are not as severe. Jaw problem seems some relief. Gentle, relaxing, definitely pain free, you cannot feel anything. The profession that it relieves pain from scar tissue and other forms of pain and it appears to be true. Thank you, Dr. McCluskey.

“The Thought Of The ‘Crack Your Back’ Method Made Me Nervous.”

Migraine headaches-left side. My headaches have improved-they are less severe and occur less often. Activator Treatments: Pain free, gentle. The thought of the ‘crack your back’ method made me nervous. This tool is pain free.

“Parma Man Told No Treatment Necessary.”

I visited Dr. McCluskey concerned about a minor lower back pain. He did a thorough exam with x-rays. He indicated minor treatment was available but not necessary. I visited a second time but only for a great ½ hour massage. I’ve recommended a few individuals and have positive feedback.

“After Several Fender Benders Years Ago, I Lived In Constant Pain, Blurry Vision, Almost Unable To Function.”

After several fender benders years ago, I lived with constant pain, blurry vision, almost unable to function. All the specialists I visited had no answers for me except back surgery!! I found a chiropractor who used the old fashioned chiropractic methods. I did get some relief, but the treatments were painful and sometimes would take a few days in bed to finally begin to feel better. I was not happy with the painful treatments, went online looking for answers and found Dr. McCluskey’s website that explained the Activator Method. I went for my informative consultation and first treatment with the Activator. I couldn’t believe how great I felt without a painful treatment. Dr. McCluskey called me that evening to see how I was doing. I thanked him for the instant pain relief. I was so excited to finally get the help I needed. I told my wife, my sister, and my family. We all have experienced relief from Dr. McCluskey and the Activator method. The staff at Timber Ridge is always so pleasant and helpful. It is a real pleasure to deal with Dr. McCluskey and the staff at Timber Ridge. Thank you!

“It all started shoveling snow one night.”

It all started shoveling snow one night. The next day I couldn’t walk, heck I could hardly get out of bed. Dr. McCluskey’s office got me right in even though I was not an existing customer. I scared the krap out of my kids when I had a spasm in the van. I was screaming in agony. After several hours in therapy over 2 or 3 days, I was back to work and darn near normal I continue to see Dr. McCluskey for preventative reasons, and plan on utilizing the massage therapy in the near future. I appreciate the flexibility when I needed help the most. Dr. McCluskey’s office will continue to be my chiropractic office for a long, long time. Thank you to the doctor and the especially Friendly staff.

“I Was Very Hesitant Because I Had Been To A Chiropractor…”

A number of years ago I was in severe pain in my back from my waist to my toes constantly. I was treated by a sports doctor with cortisone & with a series of 3 shots in my spine which worked for a while & also put weight on me. I again was in severe pain & couldn’t get in to see the doctor for a long time. He prescribed pain pills. Someone recommended Dr. McCluskey & I was very hesitant because I had been to a chiropractor & didn’t like it nor believe in it, but I called, & to my surprise I got right in & the whole experience was wonderful. It was painless, comforting & fast. I have recommended it to my friends & I am a believer in Dr. McCluskey & his technique.

“I Was Unable To Write More Than A Sentence Or Two Because Of Pain And A General Loss Of Coordination/Control.”

A mix of pain & numbness running from my neck to fingers-all the way down the arm-with soreness at joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist & fingers). I was unable to write more than a sentence or two because of pain and a general loss of coordination/control. After Activator and Cold Laser Treatments: I sleep through the night & wake up refreshed. I’m in a much better mood now that I’m not experiencing continuous pain all day & night. I am more able to focus on what I’m doing instead of how much I hurt.

After my treatments I feel very relaxed and refreshed. The treatments are relaxing & painless. The various phases of treatment all work very well together. None of my experiences have been uncomfortable. I can’t wait to recommend this to my family – I’ve already told everyone at work about this amazing treatment & results.

“I Can Remember Several Times Sitting Outside The Nurses Office At School Unable To Move My Neck Or Shoulders & In Terrible Pain.”

As a child, I dislocated my shoulder & because it was not put back for a few days – I, over time, developed a herniated disc in my neck. I can remember several times sitting outside the nurse’s office at school unable to move my neck or shoulders & in terrible pain. As I grew into adulthood, I sought out medical help – I was prescribed painkillers & Prednisone – not good for you in the long term and I knew when I least expected it – my neck would go out again and I would be out of commission for days.

About 5 years ago I discovered Dr. McCluskey – his comprehensive treatment of my neck & back has really changed my life – that 1st day when he saw me (in terrible pain, again) he treated me in the morning & again in the evening – I started feeling the muscles “let go” and relax – all without the use of drugs – the combination of the stimulation, massage, the precise use of the Activator, and strengthening exercises have made the neck & shoulder pain of the past 40 years a thing of the past – unbelievable. Thank you Dr. McCluskey & your terrific staff.

*P.S. I also know that when I sent friends & family for help – they bwill be very well taken care of.

“I Developed A Serious Sciatica Problem…Had Constant Pain, Could Hardly Walk…”

I developed a serious sciatica problem after an operation on my knee…I had constant pain, could hardly walk, and had a very difficult time sleeping. An orthopedic surgeon and a neurologist examined me and I was treated with prescription drugs. I was then referred to a pain clinic where I received three procedures called Patrick Corrigan “blocks” and another operation. I was still in pain and was referred by a friend. Dr. McCluskey gave me an examination, which included an x-ray. After several treatments my pain went away and I could walk and sleep without pain.
