work with the spine

"One month ago I somehow was injured playing basketball. Since I celebrate my 61st birthday this month I was nervous that my Hoops carrer was over. The injury occured on a Monday night and by Tuesday and Wednesday I could barely walk. Worse was that I could not identify the pain. That Wednesday I had my first visit and felt some relief immediatley. I realized that the pain was in my hip and over the next couple of weeks and 3 visits to you (including accupuncture) and felt gradually better and better. Long story short, last Monday I returned to play and got 3 games in."

"I started seeing Dr. McCleary about 2 months ago and there has been an amazing transformation within me. The main reason I started going was to help with my headaches and see if she could reduce my back pain. In addition to that, my leg and neck hurt. I had headaches about 6 days a week which has been on-going for several years. I was waking up around midnight-2am and then up every hour until I started work at 530am. I'm now down to 1-2 headaches a week. My leg and back give me only minor problems now. What I'm most impressed with now is I can SLEEP! I'm sleeping until around 4am now, which I don't recall the last time I slept that soundly. I'm also training to run two 5ks this spring. I've never 'enjoyed' going to see a doctor before but I actually look forward to these visits."

"My first visit was amazing! Dr. Emerson's office was an open space with lots of lighting; the staff was very welcoming and friendly! The experience was mentally appealing. Dr. Emerson had a one-on-one chat with me about my injury and he tests me immediately. I was instantly able to view a scan showing inflammation around my neck and shoulders and up and down my spine. His office has the best state-of-the-art equipment. He began therapy 2xs a week and within 4wks, the tingling to my left arm was completely gone! Until this very day, I have no recurring tingle or pain in my arm with very little pain to my lower neck. I was re-evaluated and my results are incredible!"

"I'm a Professional Basketball Player in Europe and the sport has taken a toll on my body over the course of the years but I can definitely say that natural health solutions have enabled me to prolong my career. Years ago I was naive to chiropractic and acupuncture. Dealing with universities and professional clubs the main thing was to be able to play and most of the time that means taking painkillers to mask the problem. Once I started using conservative health care like chiropractic, acupuncture and nutrition my body reacted in an amazing way because we were attacking the foundation of the problems whether its ankles, knees, back and etc. After using natural health for so many years now and knowing my body I can instantly tell when there's some imbalance going on.

For example, I recently had pain in my knees, ankles and tightness in my hamstrings. I came to Dr. McCleary and had my back and hips adjusted which helped my hamstrings in a matter of minutes, then got an acupuncture treatment for my knee. The acupuncture provided immediate relief from the pain and bloated sensation I had in the knee. I mean you can actually feel the tension releasing from the knee and it’s like the greatest feeling! I was about to resume my daily workouts later that day and my body felt so alive and healed.

I know without a doubt that natural health care has enabled me to play basketball this long and have a healthy lifestyle. I will continue this same process when my playing days are far from over because it has done so much for me and my entire family, physically, spiritually and mentally."

"I had a unique injury where my lower abdominals were in severe pain for 5 1/2 days. Thinking it was possibly a kidney problem, unhealthy pregnancy, or severe intestinal problems, I almost chose to go to an internist. However, I decided to go to the Chiropractor first. They tried a new machine called the "Pro Adjuster". My severe pain went away immediately! There was only a small residual pain that went away that night or the next day. I don't remember because it was so minimal compared to the excruciating pain from the 5 prior days.

It was an amazing miracle."

"I have spent five years as a world class track and field athlete with Nike. As a triple jumper, my body has endured years of constant pounding and stress. The stress began to add up and caused constant pain in my lower back as well as painful back spasms. I got tired of not being able to walk due to horrible back spasms following competition, and I finally decided to do something about it.   Once I had began working with Dr. McCleary, I began to notice significant changes and improvement in my mobility.   I finally reached a point where I am pain free and I don't have to worry about celebrating my victories in pain anymore."
-LeVar Anderson, USA Champion and NCAA Champion

 

"I met Dr. McCleary exactly one year ago with major back problems. I was heavily medicated with high dosages of medications in which did not relieve any of my pain. By seeing her three times a week to tapering off to two times a month, I feel like a new person. I am walking better and I am no longer in major pain anymore. I truly enjoy and appreciate everything she has done for me. She has been a life saver for me. I tell my friends and family about her all the time."

"My experience with chiropractic care given by Dr. McCleary has been beneficial
both physically and mentally in that you learn that if the body, spinal system
is out of alignment that can cause other problems through out your body. I came to Dr. McCleary more than a month ago and the back and neck and shoulder pain is gone and it also has a lot to do with her knowledge of the body and how it works, plus good bedside manner and concern for her patients."

-Gregory D.

"I suffered an injury to my left rear deltoid back in 2004.   I tried several different forms of physical therapy but none helped.   However after my completion of my treatment with Dr. McCleary my shoulder fully recovered. She's patient and very effective!   And the taping she does is phenominal!"
-Oliver Hamilton, Hamilton Group, Inc.

"I came to Dr. McCleary because of some dicomfort I was having in my wrist, which turned out to be carpal tunnel.  When I came here for the first time I was also extremely aprehensive of chiropractic care.  Dr. McCleary is very gentle, and has really helped me understand how chiropractic care benefits me.  I feel great!  Dr. McCleary has helpfed me think about  great exercise alternatives that are gentle on my body as well as inspired me to find out more about how the body works and functions."

"During preganacy your body goes through many changes. With this being my first pregnancy I was unaware of the physical aches and pains that would occur.   Dr. McCleary was prompt about seeing me and working gout a treatment plan to help issues with my hip...She helped me in the office and educated me about exercises and tools to use at home between visits.   I am writing this while eight months pregnant and pain free."

"I am very new to the chiropractic field after experiencing constant headaches for the past year and a half and constantly taking over the counter pain medications trying to relieve these daily pain problems.

 

I was reading the newspaper and had seen this chiropractic ad that mentioned treating headaches to my surprise. Up until that time I was convinced chiropractors only involved back injuries or some type of therapy involving back problems. After being associated with Triad Chiropractic's care I can happily say my pain the past year and a half which was every day constant has significantly been reduced and I would recommend Dr. McCleary and Triad Chiropractic to any one experiencing any type of discomfort or pain."

-Dennis J

"I moved to St. Louis earlier this year and the choice of a chiropractor was very important to me. I am an endurance athlete who regularly competes in long distance triathlons, which comes with numerous aches and pains due to the rigors of training. Many of these have been chronic. Dr. McCleary has done an excellent job of treating not only the areas of discomfort, but also working to find the causes to significantly reduce or eliminate the ongoing issue. She combines a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the various muscle groups and joints with the ability to ask the right questions and listen to the answers in order to find a solution. This is all done with a treatment plan that ensures my comfort."

"I've had two back surgeries in the last twenty years. They left me with a damaged nerve in my left leg. The only way I have had any relief was with continued visits to a chiropractor. Unfortunately, I have found some good ones and some bad ones. But, ever since I started coming to Dr. McCleary she has helped me considerably. I can walk without too much problem in my left leg. Monthly visits help strengthen my leg."

"I have been visiting Triad Family and Chiropractic for almost a year. After my first adjustment, I immediately felt the relief of stress from my back and neck. I continue to visit Dr. Emerson because I have noticed a vast improvement with my posture and my overall comfort level. In addition to adjusting my neck and back, we have worked on
muscle stimulation and stretches. As a result, I have experienced numerous benefits from an athletic standpoint. As a cyclist, I have increased strength and stamina in my legs, while my upper body feels less fatigued on longer rides. As a hockey player, my speed has improved and my recovery time from soreness has been cut in half. As a golfer, the range of motion on my swing is much longer, as my muscles do not lock up at the top of the swing.

I usually schedule my appointments during my lunch hour, because it helps break up the monotonous stress of sitting in an uncomfortable chair all day. I come back to work refreshed and more productive. On some occasions, I have had to rearrange my schedule and Triad is very flexible on appointment times. Overall, I have experienced a better quality of life and am actually able to sleep through the night without tossing and turning.

I prefer Triad Family and Chiropractic because they have an inviting office and the staff knows who I am when I walk in. The service is exceptional and very affordable. All staff members are very knowledgeable and they make an effort to personalize each patient's visit specific to their needs."

"I suffered with a bulding disk for two years. A friend of mine was always telling me to go see a chiropractor. I decided o go and see Dr. McCleary. I can't believe how great I am feeling now since going to see Dr. McCleary. The back and leg pain, the pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots are not there anymore. I cannot say enough of the qualities of the care that Dr. McCleary has. I will refer her to family and friends. Dr. McCleary has characteristics of a doctor that are seldom found today."

-Loria L., age 48

" I have had a problem with my knees, back and neck for years. My doctor wanted me to get a knee replacement. I thought and thought about it. My daughter told me I should try her chiropractor and maybe that would help my back, knees and neck...I have been going for one week and in just two visits, I feel as though I could run a marathon. I feel great! My knees feel great, no more back and neck pain. I thank God for my chiropractor."

-Vera T., age 65

"I can't believe how great I feel after being treated by Dr. McCleary. I have had back pain on and off 15+ years. After being literally bed ridden from the pain, I decided to finally get in to see a chiropractor. Choosing her name in my list of providers was because she was the closest, I wasn't sure what to expect. Wow, was I amazed. She knew just what I needed. After just a few treatments, I feel better than I had in 15 years. I was able to go on a car trip of 3000 miles without a back ache. I can't even remember the last time I could do that..."

-Christine Culp, Computer Technician

"I am a young woman in her twenties that has had back surgery for the correction of a crooked spine. Before going to Dr. McCleary I experienced neck pain and shoulder pain that radiated up my neck to give me headaches. Lower back pain was present due to working retail and standing on my feet for long periods during the day. I was sick often and needed to take antibiotics for relief. Dr. McCleary has used different techniques such as acupuncture and regular adjusting techniques to relieve my pain. I am rarely sick or have headaches anymore. I've learned the importance of good posture, drinking water and regular visits. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Her passion, professionalism and unique personality builds trust and confidence, making you feel at ease during treatment. Thank you Dr. McCleary for making chiropractic a priority in my life as well as my future family."

"My youngest daughter is 30 years old. When I rollerskated with her at 4 years old my knees hit the wooden floor just trying to keep her up. That is the last time I risked roller skating until last Monday. I left my new chiropractor's office after a treatment that somehow left me confident enough to rollerskate with my 8 year old grandson. I was amazed at my unconscious comfort of my ability to keep my body balanced and how the hours passed with out notice. Thank you Dr. McCleary!"

-M. Mallardi

"Dr. McCleary relieved my back discomfort and educated me on the benefits of chiropractic care. I had no idea that the alignment of your spine has such a great impact on your overall health. Now, I am an avid follower of the chiropractic way of life, from proper nutrition, daily exercise, and regular chiropractic treatments."

-Marlon Lee, Monsanto YMCA

"Dr. McCleary has made such a positive impact on my health and my life. She brings a broad spectrum of experience and knowledge to the table and I am continually amazed at all she can do-I can go to her with everything from back pain to head colds. Dr. McCleary's holistic approach to chiropractic health leaves you walking away feeling great from head to toe."
