I was first diagnosed with a rheumatic disease about 8 months ago by my medical doctor. I had debilitating pain in my neck, back and toes. I was unable to walk up and down stairs and could not sleep through the night without crying due to the pain. My doctor prescribed steroids for me and then referred me to a rheumatologist to confirm her diagnosis. When the rheumatologist diagnosed me as having Fibromyalgia, I was devastated.
After attending Dr. Ross’ workshop on Fibromyalgia and chronic pain, I began to understand that there were alternatives to drugs for my condition. I began treatment with Dr. Ross eight weeks ago and began noting improvement not only with my pain, but, my overall health and energy. In just a few weeks I began losing weight, increasing my energy and was functioning so much better. I never thought that this was possible again.
I am now moving better, exercising 3 times per week, happier, more energetic and wanting to get back into society with my friends. I am now preparing for a 7 day bike trip in Tuscan Italy.
Dr. Ross’ knowledge and understanding of these chronic conditions, as well as his treatment methods of Cold Laser Therapy, nutrition and chiropractic care are by far above and beyond what I expected.
If you or someone you know is suffering with any condition and want to get back into life, call Dr. Ross.

Prior to my treatment at Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. I had been having many stress related aches and pains, especially in my neck and shoulders over my adult years. I sustained a fall and broken bones three months prior to my starting treatment. I was feeling quite achy and had low energy at this point despite some physical therapy I had been doing to rehabilitate. My mom asked me to attend a fibromyalgia workshop with her and it was there I met Dr. Ross and his staff. The comprehensive program including nutrition therapy, chiropractic, massage and exercise therapy helped me re-gain my energy and stopped the continuous aching in my injured arm. I could especially feel a difference with the diet and nutritional supplements early in the program. With ongoing exercise therapy, I started to build up my strength and balance. I was fitted with orthotics which really made a difference in how I walked and in my alignment. Of course, my favorite part is the relaxing massage with Karie, which always rejuvenates me! My whole experience here at Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. has been a definite move to better health!

I first came to Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. four days after I had been in a car accident. Prior to this accident, I had grown up with no sickness, disease or pain anywhere in my body. I lived a medication-free life. But as an engineer, I see my body as a machine. If I have any pain or dislocations in my body that means there is a break in transmission somewhere. While I said my prayers, I still looked for someone who could re-adjust me back to where I was prior to my accident. Therefore it made sense for me to find a chiropractor. I was angry due to so much pain and suffering when I walked into the clinic. I tried to put on a plastic smile and smile through the pain, but it wasn’t easy. The doctors and staff were happy and friendly. I feel the attitudes and the manners of the care providers contribute greatly to the outcome of the treatment. As a stranger to America, I’ve had very terrible experiences from people who look at and treat other people differently. I must confess that Dr. Ross is so blessed with such a great crew. You may walk into the clinic mad, but you walk out to go by flowers with kisses for all of them. They are so sweet and make my day. I am so happy knowing that I go to them for treatment and I can’t wait until I go in the for the next visit. Now I’m on no medication and I feel better. I love them all. I’m now able to participate in all activities, which were previously limited by pain. I’m back at work and my job is going great. My wife is impressed with my improvement and happy again. This is especially important since we’re newlyweds. J I would recommend this office to anyone. Thanks and God bless you. Andy H. January 2004 << back to the top | | Suzi |
My name is Suzi S. and I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (FMS) in the spring of 2001. I have 16 of the 18 tender points and suffered at a pain level of 6-8 on a scale of 1-10 most of the time. I could only sleep for 2-3 hours at night. I could not play or goof around with my kids without worrying about causing a flare up. I am a roller skating coach and competitor and have had to decrease my skating time drastically, going from 2-3 hours to 30 - 45 minutes a day. I was unable to perform all my job duties at work, and had to take time off because of the pain.
I have tried physical therapy and medication, but most of the therapy was targeted to the flare up and not the cause.
I came to Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. after attending a Fibromyalgia Clinic sponsored by Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. with my sisters. I started the Fibromyalgia Program in the summer of 2003. I started with adjustments only then integrated the physical training, nutrition, and massage. I noticed a marked improvement in my pain level within a few weeks. Going from 6-8 to 3-4 on a scale of 1-10. After integrating all levels of the program I have even had many ZERO pain days. I am now able to sustain a higher level of physical activity for longer periods of time. I am now skating 1-3 hours at a time and have improved the quality of my skating as I am not fighting against my body all of the time. I have gone off all medications and am sleeping 3-4 hours longer at night. I can now play with my kids and goof around without worrying about hurting or flaring up. I have not had to take time off from work due to the pain and can perform all levels of my job as a computer technician. Thanks to the great Doctors and staff at Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. I have learned that there is a better way of life for those suffering from FMS and it can be controlled without the use of dangerous drugs. It takes a combined plan of chiropractic treatment, exercise, massage, and nutrition, and learning when to stop an activity before it causes a flare up. I would recommend anyone suffering from FMS to get an evaluation from Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. and see if they can benefit from their Fibromyalgia program that has helped me so much.

I had been suffering with Fibromyalgia for at least eight years. I had seen two previous chiropractors and several medical doctors before coming to Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc.. I was taking pain pills and antidepressants prescribed by my medical doctors, but I was allergic to all of the pain medications.
I feel the detoxification plan, along with the physical therapy, massage and adjustments have made my life worth living again. Now I can bend down to tie my shoes and do my housework and I’m able to function at work as a nursing assistant without pain in every move I make. I also can lift my grandchildren and play games with them again. I do not take any medications any more. I truly would recommend the Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. Clinic to anyone who has Fibromyalgia.

I initially came to Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. six years ago for my back and migraine problems. I have come to realize that my overall health and well being have greatly improved as a result. For example, I have not had a cold or the flu for over a year, even though I teach school and am exposed to an awful lot. I also have learned that maintenance is very important. Regular visits are the answer to keeping myself functioning well.
About six months ago, I began to experience carpal tunnel problems. This was probably related to the fact that I have corrected so many papers over the years. I mentioned this to the staff here on one of my regular visits and they treated me right away. I`m happy to report that this problem has disappeared as well. I wouldn`t miss my visits to the chiropractor to keep myself pain free and healthy! << back to the top | | Mark |
I started my therapy in December 1997, after a car accident where I was hit from behind. At the time I first started therapy, my range of motion was severely hampered from the accident. I was unable to work full time for a week.
I was a little skeptical and scared to see a chiropractor at first. I had never been to one prior to Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc.. I was first treated by a medical doctor and he gave me a prescription for Ibuprofen and Flexeral. It did relieve my pain until I stopped taking them. After talking to Dr. Ross, and having him explain the processes and procedures of chiropractic care, I was relieved and happy that I had taken the time to come. Since I started treatment at Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc., I have slowly, but surely regained my range of motion and the pain and soreness is almost gone. In three short months here at Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc., I have received nothing but kindness and lots of T.L.C!! I would like to thank all of the wonderful people here and wish them nothing but the best! Everyone was friendly and very professional. << back to the top | | Ron |
I have been a chronic headache sufferer for over 25 years. Just to show the magnitude of the problem, I would like to share some of the details. As I mentioned previously, over the past 25 years, I can`t remember a day that I was pain free. I had exhausted, what I thought, all my possible solutions to my headache problem. I started seeing my family doctor where I was referred to an allergist, eye, ear nose and throat specialist and a neurologist. I had gone to a pain clinic, tried biofeedback and specialized headache clinics. None of these achieved any success.
Over the years I started to consume aspirin for my headaches. This seemed to be my only way out. Well, after 25 years of headaches and pills, I started to get other complications. I was starting to get nervous about long term problems. It just so happened that I had gone to a golf expo, and I tried one of the exhibits for pressure point therapy. I chose to take the two visits for $20 to see what this was all about. I had a choice of clinics and I chose Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. Clinic. This turned out to be the smartest move I ever made. After the two visits and a full examination, we focused on an action plan. After two weeks of visits, three times a week, I could see real gain. I couldn`t believe it!! (I am a skeptical person.) Two more weeks went by where I was virtually free from pain. I am no longer a skeptic, but a true believer. I have my life back on track, and I want to extend my thanks to all of the people at Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. for making it all possible. Thanks for the life change!!! << back to the top | | Mary Kay |
I was in a car accident on January 13, 1997. As a result of that I was having neck, shoulder and lower back pain. Due to this, I was always feeling exhausted and had trouble sleeping. I had all I could do to make it through the day.
Prior to Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. I had seen a General Practitioner for shoulder pain and severe headaches. He prescribed Relafin for an inflammation; it would work for periods of time and six months later, I would be back with the same symptoms. I asked about other options and was basically ignored and given another drug. I was referred to Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. by a friend who highly recommended them, was sent some information and went in for a preliminary exam. From the exam, to the xrays, to the treatment would be and what I could expect. Since coming to the clinic, I have longer and longer periods of being pain free – WHAT AN EYE OPENER! While the doctors at Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. have worked on my injuries, the rest of my body has responded positively. I have found both doctors to be good listeners who act on the information that I give them. One other thing that put me at ease was my meeting with Kord Williams, the Business Manager. He put me at ease about the finances and was very informative about the insurance process. I am sold on chiropractic treatment and what wonderful things it does for the body. And of course, you will love the staff! They are very friendly and professional. It is a very comfortable environment – they even have a sense of humor, which is a plus for me! << back to the top | | LaMarr |
I came to Steven B. Ross Chiropractic, Inc. Clinic with a really bad back problem. For example, it hurt me to take out the garbage, walk the dog or even sit up. I had this problem for about two weeks, just hoping it would go away.
My wife recommended that I try chiropractic care; she was right on the money! I had thought that my back would never be the same again, but I was wrong. My back feels much better than it did before I injured it. I highly recommend that people seek out chiropractic care because it really works. Dr. Ross and all of the staff are the greatest because they work as a team to get you back to 100% – and they have succeeded for me! << back to the top | | Jeffrey |
Our son Jeffrey was barely able to crawl at the age of 15 months. Comparing him to infants 10 to 12 months of age in his play groups that were walking circles around him, we became increasingly concerned about his lack of mobility. His pediatrician also was concerned and referred us to a neurologist. The neurologist diagnosed Jeffrey as having low muscle tone and delayed large motor skills. She prescribed physical therapy and further testing if there was no progress from the therapy.
Our sister suggested we attend a chiropractic workshop given by Dr. Ross. In his workshop, Dr. Ross explained how the birth process is such a traumatic event for a baby. At our initial consultation, Dr. Ross discovered subluxations in Jeffrey`s spine that could be blocking brain signals to Jeffrey`s legs. Jeffrey was 16 months old when Dr. Ross began treatments, and now 3 months later the results have been dramatic. Our little boy, who was at times frustrated due to his inabilities, is now beginning to run around the house. We believe that Jeffrey`s improvement has largely been due to Dr. Ross` Chiropractic care. It is unfortunate that traditional medicine is slow to recognize the value of chiropractic care. It made a big difference in our son`s life and if more people know the facts about chiropractic we believe many would discover a drugless care to their ailments. << back to the top | |
