Low Back Injury from Jiu-Jitsu
I'm a camera-man and Jiu-Jitsu practitioner. A few months ago, I injured my back wrestling and thought that my life and career was over. In less than a month, Dr. Summers helped me get rid of the pain, and my back is stronger now than it has ever been.

TMJ, Headaches & Neck Pain
I first came to Dr. Summers when I was diagnosed with TMJ and knew I had a long wait before the nightguard from my dentist was approved by my insurance. To deal with the pain in the meantime, I thought I would try Chiropractic. It's now 2 months later and I've cancelled the order for the nightguard! Thanks to the adjustments and exercises at home, my TMJ pain is gone. The headaches and neck pain I'd gotten so used to living with are rarely noticed. In addition - during the course of my chiropractic treatment, I spoke to Dr. Summers about some of the digestive problems I'd been having; we've now added nutrition to my wellness program and I'm well on my way to recovery for those problems too!

Low back pain, Scolosis, TMJ Syndrome
When I started my appointments with Dr. Summers, I was having recurring back pain from Jiu-Jitsu training. Along with my back pain I was having pain in my jaw from TMJ Syndrome. I was also having energy swings through out the day. Within a few weeks , through adjustments and following Dr. Summers dietary guidelines and training, my back pain has been alleviated, my posture has improved and I have more energy now than ever before. I am grateful to Dr. Summers for her help and I am amazed that a few simple changes have made such a huge difference in my life!

Chronic , Severe Headaches and Neck Pain
Dr. Cindy Summers,
When I first came to Dr. Summers, I was suffering from extreme headaches and neck pain. I had been suffering from the headaches for years and was not able to function normally. After being treated by Dr. Summers through chiropractic and nutrition care, my headaches have decreased dramatically. I now feel great and have lots of energy to accomplish my daily goals. She has identified and cured problems I haven’t noticed much and after working on these areas, I feel more flexible and relaxed. Thanks Dr. Summers! I know that she is knowledgeable and she loves helping people.

Carpal Tunnel syndrome
Before receiving treatment by Dr. Summers, I had been experiencing tightness, tingling and numbness in my hands and arms for months. I am a drummer and have had pain in my wrist for years. When this discomfort got worse and spread to my left wrist, I started to get worried. I had read how these problems can be caused from subluxations in the neck, so I decided to try chiropractic remedies. Luckily, I found the best Chiropractor in California. Dr. Summers has helped me so much. I am extremely happy I found her. I can actually play my drums again.

Severe Hip Pain and Lower Back Pain
Dear Doctor:
After being treated by you to correct the damage done by a serious fall, I’m feeling much better at 93 ¾ yr. of age. It seems like a miracle. If anyone needs that kind of treatment I would recommend you immediately.
Yours for better health.

Low Back Pain
To all of Dr. Summers’ patients:
I would like to share with you the tremendous progress I have made since seeing Dr. Summers.
In June, I hurt my back and twisted my pelvis out of position. I was in such great pain I literally could not walk. I could not bend and after not being treated for 2 weeks, my right leg was number and the muscles completely unresponsive. Finally, my neighbor recommended that I see Dr. Summers.
When I first came to Dr. Summers I was in extreme pain. I was also very skeptical. At first I saw Dr. Summers up to 3 times per week. My pelvis and leg began to function. Gradually, Dr. Summers aligned my back and pelvis and the pain subsided. She also showed me small exercises I could do to strengthen my muscles. I began to see Dr. Summers only twice a week and have since decreased to once a week.
I cannot express my faith in Dr. Summers in words; my back is feeling good and strong and my leg has recovered. I can walk, run, pick up my children, dance and go to the gym!
Seeing Dr. Summers and her staff is always a pleasant experience. I will be eternally grateful for the changes she has made in my life!
Thankfully,

Hip, Back, & Neck Pain
Dr. Cindy,
You and your chiropractic treatments have helped me get back on my feet!! The personalized attention and immediate care you gave me really worked to reduce the pain in my hips, back, and neck. I was able to go back to work after the first treatment. I am feeling so much better now that I am in less pain.
Thank you so much for your great care!

Low Back Pain & Weight Loss
Dear Dr. Summers,
When I first came to you, I thought you would simply help to cure my back pain. After only 3 months, not only have you made that pain go away, you’ve also gotten me on the path to good health!
I’ve lost 14 pounds thanks to your diet and exercise advice, and my endocrinologist tells me that my cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglyceride levels have all gotten better. She says I should continue seeing you, because what you’re doing for me is definitely helping.
You have also improved my problem with menopausal hot flashes; I’ve been suffering for the past 10 years, turning red and sweating profusely in the evenings. The Standard Process Supplements you recommended really are beneficial – I’ve actually been chilly lately, something I haven’t experienced in quite some time.
Thank you, Dr. Summers; I never knew a Chiropractor could help so much.
Sincerely,
Maryann M.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
I had my first MicroLight Laser Therapy treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome on September 20, 2004. Within days, I was sleeping thru-out the night without braces on my hands. I had been sleeping in braces for three years due to numbness and pain in both hands at night. I had lost about 50% of the feeling in the fingers of my right hand, and 20% in my left fingers. Less than three months after the treatments began, I have full feeling in all of my fingers. It is a miracle!
Dr. Summers has helped me achieve this remarkable improvement. She explained how the treatments with the MicroLight Laser helps promote healing by increasing blood flow to the affected areas. The pain is completely gone and I have far more mobility in my hands than before.
Thank you Dr. Summers for giving my hands back!

Hysterectomy & Unbalanced Hormones
I have had a total hysterectomy, and have been on Premarin for 1 ½ years. After weaning off of the Premarin, I felt fatigued, irritable, nervous, unhappy, and just not myself.
Seeking help from Dr. Cindy Summers was the best decision that I could’ve made. She put me on a regimen of supplements, and within days I felt results. After about a week or so, I felt 100% better! My energy level was higher than ever. I became more positive in my everyday situations. I was overall a happier and content person!
I noticed that my hair got healthier, and my skin glowed. I slept better at night. There were just so many positive effects.
Thank you so much Dr. Summers for targeting my needs. I am forever grateful to you.
Sincerely,

TMJ Syndrome, Thyroiditis, Hypertension & more...
I started seeing Dr. Summers April 2004 after I had been suffering TMJ pain for over a year. In addition, I also suffered from other ailments such as, psoriasis, thyroiditis, hypertension, tremors, and headaches. Because of these maladies, I was always irritable and stressed. My primary care doctor thought that prescribing me Prozac would make me feel better. I was reluctant to take the medication because I knew that there was nothing wrong with me mentally, but I took it anyway. It didn’t help, so I weaned myself off of it realizing that my doctor was not really addressing the underlying problems. After hearing my friend’s stories about chiropractors, I decided to give it a try since I was tired of dealing with my regular doctors. I was always skeptical of chiropractors, but after having two car accidents within a year, I didn’t know where else to turn. Chiropractic was my last attempt to find relief.
After doing research, I found Dr. Summers. What a relief! She always adjusted my neck, back, and jaw very gently, so I was never afraid. She also helped me change my diet and I even lost a little weight. I’m happy to say that my health has greatly improved after only 3 months under Dr. Summers’ care. I never thought that chiropractic care could affect the way I feel. I highly recommend Dr. Summers to all my friends and family!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Dear Dr. Summers,
When I first came to you I had difficulty holding even a pencil in my hands. I had injured my shoulder and the stress of my back and neck being out of alignment, I had numbness all up and down both arms. I even had to abandon something as simple as letting my hair grow longer. Long hair requires a great deal of care, care I couldn't do because of the numbness and tingly feelings in my hands. Well going to you these past few months have really opened up my future. I can hold a pencil again. I can do my style and groom my hair. Thanks to you. Thanks again Doc for all your help.

Heartburn
Dear Dr. Summers,
Thanks for the Zypan. As I told you during one of our sessions, I had
experienced some difficulty in digesting foods, even foods that were good for me. At night I would have this terrible heartburn and find myself unable to sleep unless I took Alka Selzter. Well I don't feel like having my stomach lining even more stripped and the Zypan worked like a charm. Thanks again for helping me move closer to that optimum health picture I so want to reach!

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Dear Dr. Summers,
For many months, my right hand and wrist have hurt tremendously and no treatment showed any effect of healing. I had cortisone injection treatment by a hand specialist but the pain never went away. The pain affected my concentration and I could not work normally. I was afraid of having to live that way for a long time and not be able to do my daily activities because the pain affected my whole arm.
With your third treatment, the pain disappeared. At last I felt comfortable! I was sitting and working at my computer for an entire day without complaining about my hand. I even wondered if I was hallucinating. I will recommend your chiropractic services to everyone.
Thank you! Thank You!

Low Back Pain
Dr. Cindy,
I came to Dr. Summers with extreme pain in my lower back. It hurt constantly and kept me from even bending over to tie my shoes or standing for more than a few minutes. After a series of adjustments, my back is normal again. Thanks Dr. Summers! I know that she is knowledgeable about holistic medicine and I really trust her. She has identified problems in my neck that I hadn't noticed much and after working on these areas, I feel so much more flexible and relaxed. I am not scared of chiropractic care anymore. In fact, I might be addicted.

Neck & Shoulder Pain
Dr. Cindy,
I was suffering from low back pain for many years and was getting out of bed in the morning limping to get to the shower. About 6 months ago I started experiencing pain in the neck and shoulders, and after meeting Dr. Cindy Summers decided to try her service. To my surprise, after only one treatment, pain in the lower back is almost gone, and neck pain is not far behind. So, I guess after a couple more treatments I will be pain free.

Low Energy, Back & Neck Pain
Dr. Cindy,
What else can I say but “WOW!” While the reduction in back pain due to your work was amazing and gave me a lot more energy and the ability to play with my daughter, I think I was most amazed when I “kinked” my neck and couldn’t even turn my head due to the pain. I was fixed with only two treatments and by following your orders! Normally that would have been a long and painful four to six week process. I guess I should say WOW and THANK YOU!!!
