In June of 2004 I was in a near fatal motorcycle crash. I broke my neck, pelvis, nine ribs and eight bones in my right foot. I spent 2 1/2 months in a hospital bed, four months with a walker and another two months using a cane. Ever since that fateful day I have lived in pain. Sitting, laying, walking or standing it did not matter. Countless meetings with Orthopedics, Neurologists and Internists led to no results and an empty wallet. I had resigned myself to the fact that I was going to feel this way for the rest of my life. The psychological weight of that alone was somewhat crushing.
About a year ago a very dear friend of mine starting seeing Dr. Wock. He sang the praises of the good Doctor and suggested that I give him a call. I am willing to admit that I was the worlds biggest skeptic. My thought was, "not once during the last 5 1/2 years has any of my other Doctors had ever suggested going to a Chiropractor, there must be a reason". (Seemed logical at the time, but we'll leave that rant for another letter.) So I never made that call.
Two months ago after some prodding I made a consultative appointment. At the end of our consultation, Dr. Jeffrey extended his hand and said, "I'm going to make you feel a whole lot better." Let me tell you, he wasn't kidding. This past Tuesday I laid down next to my wife on the couch. She commented that I hadn't complained about my ribs in a while. Later that evening when I went to bed I realized that after 5 1/2 years of living with pain in my rib cage, hips and pelvis, I was at that moment pain free.
No words can express my gratitude to Dr. Wock for the gift I was given, but I thought it important to try.

I wanted to thank you for changing my life! I have had back pain for most of my life and have seen many chiropractors. I had come to the conclusion that I would always have discomfort and the infamous zingers in my lower back area. It was getting worse over the years and often I would have to go home and lie down and try to find a comfortable position. I was miserable. Then a dear friend of mine saw the pain I was in and told me about Dr. Wock. I never thought those horrible zingers that would bring me to my knees would ever go away. Dr. Wock changed all of that. I am a new person and I DO NOT have the zingers anymore thanks to him. I actually thought I had to live with the horrendous pain. You will always have a special place in my heart; I feel you saved my life! Thank you so much Dr. Wock for taking my pain away and giving me the freedom to live a normas life without back pain. You are the best at what you do!
Sincerely and forever grateful,

I would like you to know how VERY impressed I am over your care of my recent back problems. Thirty years ago I seriously injured several discs in my lower back. At that time I could hardly walk, I had lost most of the feeling in one leg, I couldn’t sit or sleep because of pain and lived on muscle relaxers and painkillers. I spent over a year and one-half of doctoring with numerous chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons and finally ended up being hospitalized for several weeks until I finally got results.
Since that time, my back has occasionally given me problems, but I was always able to get it back on my own with exercise. While picking something up my back went out. It was very reminiscent of thirty years ago. I could hardly walk or sit. After several days I made an appointment with Dr. Wock. I am so impressed with how caring and attentive he was at my first visit and I experienced almost immediate relief. I have been so impressed with Dr. Wock’s care and concern and that of the entire staff.

When first being diagnosed with wrist tendonitis, I did everything the doctor said in order to recover quickly. I iced it daily and rested my wrist as much as possible. After a month with no significant improvement I went back to the doctor, who again told me to keep icing my injury. A few weeks later, the pain began to spread up my arm and into my upper back. I knew something needed to be done. After a consultation with Dr. Wock, he informed me the pain might be due to the joints out of alignment. He helped me to see the difference in the range of motion in my shoulder and elbow. I was extremely shocked that he knew when a movement would cause pain in my arm. Immediately after my first visit, the constant pain I had before was no longer constant. After the second visit, the range of motion in my shoulder was remarkably greater. During my third visit, I told
Dr. Wock I felt 100 times better and no longer had the pain in my arm or upper back. I was amazed at how great I felt, since only weeks earlier I thought I would have the constant pain in my arm forever. Thank you Dr. Wock for all that you have done.

I am a nurse and had a back injury at work. I was out of work for 4 months and had to have back surgery. I was slowly getting better for about 1 year and then began to have pain that woke me up in the middle of the night. I did not want to have surgery again. My daughter is a dancer and had been treated successfully at Lake West Chiropractic & Natural Health. I decided to try Dr. Wock and see if he could relieve the symptoms from my back injury. Dr. Wock relieved the symptoms of my back injury, but he also helped me with a shoulder injury I sustained in dance 7 months earlier. I had begun to accept my fate and thought I would have severe limitations for work and exercise. After 2 months I have returned to near normal function and I have high hope of completely recovering.

I woke up one morning and couldn’t turn my head or even hold my head straight without excruciating pain.I had a hard time getting dressed and it hurt to comb my hair. I proceeded to go to work thinking it would get better; however suffered all day with no relief. A customer noticed that I was having trouble and told me about his chiropractor that helped him.To my surprise, Dr. Wock came in for lunch that same day and I asked if he could help me. Dr. Wock put his lunch on hold to meet with me immediately and knew right away what to do. After two days of treatment, I was able to sleep comfortably and after the 3rd day, I had full range of motion in my neck without pain. With Chiropractic and acupuncture, I feel better than I did BEFORE I hurt my neck. Dr. Wock genuinely cares and it is obvious he is doing something he loves. Thank you Dr. Wock, I will recommend you to my friends.

This is a huge "THANK YOU" for suggesting the Wellness Essentials for Women Vitamins. For years I have struggled with eczema and rosacea flare ups. I have tried dozens of topical creams and allergy medications-both prescription and over-the-counter. After an application or dosage, the medication took the edge off the symptoms and provided some temporary tolerance for the itching; however the scars never really healed and when they did heal, the eczema patches would flare up somewhere else on my skin. In February, I had an awful case of eczema on my hands, rosecea on my neck, forehead, face and eyelids. Dr. Wock saw it and suggested that I begin to take vitamins with Omega 3 fish oils. Within a day, I noticed the intensity of the flare up start to mellow, and within 4 days to a week the redness and swelling that comes with each episode was almost gone. I have been taking the vitamins for one month and am happy to say that it seems like my skin is healing from the inside out. The eczema is still pesky, but it is definately not as terrible as it was; and with time, I am remaining hopeful that this too will lesson. Metals from necklaces, rings, bracelets and my watch really used to bother my skin; however for the first time in years; I was able to wear my watch, a ring on each hand and a necklace ALL day without itching. I felt put together again. Along with healthier looking skin, I have noticed some other positive side effects, such as alertness, less tiredness, shiny hair and healthy looking nails. I believe they are a result of taking good quality vitamins.
