TESTIMONIALS

  • My entire life I actively participated in sports. Football, soccer, basketball and bowling. Now that I am in my early 50's, I realized that my flexibility and ability to continue to play actively was being limited by the years of physicality that takes its toll on muscles, joints and body. The discomfort, pain and joint stiffness curbed my play. Dr. Jim has resurrected my game. He listened as I described how I was feeling and provided the specific treatment and recommended exercise and therapy. I am no longer watching from the sidelines. I am back in the game thanks to Dr. Jim and recommended him to all of my family and friends.

  • I would recommend every family member and friend to see Dr. Jim Fitzgerald. In all my years of sports and lifting, I had never seen a chiropractor. A few years back, at the age of 26, my body started feeling more aches and pains. Pulled muscles and joint pain were no longer fixed by quick remedies. I went and saw Dr. Fitzgerald and expressed my ongoing pains. Prior to getting worked on, I also expressed my fear of someone “cracking my bones and joints.” If anyone out there is a first timer to Chiropractic and has the same fear I did go see Dr. Fitzgerald. He made me feel more relaxed and comfortable by starting out slow with minor adjustments and explaining what he was doing and why he was doing it. After the first few adjustments you can feel the difference and feel confident with your body in his hands. Recently, I have suffered from shoulder and lower lumbar pain. I’ve done the stretching and heating remedies, but I find they aren’t as useful as an adjustment. Anytime I feel the constant ache or pain I will call Dr. Fitzgerald and schedule an appointment. With my last appointment he really showed his expertise. I had a real nagging hip and lower back pain. After my adjustment I still felt a tightness and pain. Instead of stopping with the adjustment, Dr. Fitzgerald was able to incorporate muscle work into his treatment. After stretching of the hamstring muscle and gluteus maximus muscle, my pain had been relieved. If you are having muscle aches, Dr. Fitzgerald has a great knack for muscular therapy. A lot of my adjustments are needed in portion because of my muscular issues. If you’re in need of any kind of treatment for muscle aches or joint pains I would give him a call. You will find yourself feeling completely comfortable in his hands, and won’t regret the feeling after. Now at the age of 29 I’m very grateful I found Dr. Fitzgerald three years ago and so is my body.
