What our patients are saying:
Thank you so much for helping me learn simple, achievable ways of taking care of my health. As you know, I’ve struggled for years with hypothyroidism and began feeling hopeless about my quality of life. At 35, I was hobbling around in pain, my hair was thinning, I was consuming large amounts of caffeine to wake up in the morning, I slept 5-6 hours a night (restlessly), and every other doctor was offering another pain medication to deal with the joint pain that plagued me. Possibilities of
various diagnoses floated past my ears, yet the result was always treating symptoms instead of the cause. When you suggested I remove wheat from my diet, I thought that was an impossible undertaking (and perhaps not really necessary), however, within a week, I found that there are lots of alternatives to eating foods containing wheat and gluten. Within two weeks, I was feeling great. Now I’m getting a restful 8-10 hours of sleep each night; I don’t want or even need coffee; I’m out walking again on a daily basis; and little by little my life (and my mood) is improving thanks to you. I am so grateful to be in your care.

'After my own doctors gave up on me'
My health had been deteriorating for a couple of years when I found Dr. Miller on the internet. I suffered from unexplained muscle spasms, numbness, twitching, fatigue, muscle & joint pain, fine tremors and a mirage of other strange stuff that would move from one area of my body to another. My doctors ran numerous MRI’s, scans and blood tests over & over but could only find EBV, which research had shown to be inconsistent with my symptoms. After seeing 3 MD’s, a neurologist and 2 cardiologists I went to see Dr. Miller. I have found Dr. Miller to intelligent, compassionate and professional. I have been under her care for approximately 8 months. I had not been able to work for over a year and now have started my own gardening – landscaping service and am back to leading an active lifestyle. I still have a ways to go but believe I am on the right path.
Dr. Miller has helped me after my own doctor gave up on me.

'I struggled with hypothyroidism for years'
'I walk on grass daily with no allergy symptoms'
I came to Dr. Miller with severe neck pain that had been going on for years. I also had severe lower back pain that I have endured for many years. After working with Dr. Miller on my nutrition and going through a series of muscle tests my neck pain is gone and my lower back pain is much improved. I also was diagnosed with a severe allergy to grass and this year was predicted to be extremely bad. Taking supplements (Allerplex) daily allowed me to get through the allergy season unscathed. I walk on grass daily and have no symptoms at all.
Thank you Dr. Miller!

'My daily headaches completely went away!'
When I first came in to see Dr. Miller I wanted help with pain I was experiencing with plantar fasciitis. I also had an old hip injury from a skating accident which would flare up now and then. In addition, I was suffering from daily headaches including migraines.
After assessing and beginning care my headaches completely went away within the first week of adjustments! I was amazed! I also began having greater ease of movement and my hip started feeling better. After about 3-4 months I saw a huge improvement in my foot pain. I went from only being able to walk 1-2 blocks to now being able to walk a mile or more. Another wonderful benefit which I have received to my surprise and delight is that I am more calm and relaxed overall.
I am very grateful for the healing I have received from and through Dr. Miller. I believe Dr. Miller has helped activate my body’s own natural healing abilities which have lied dormant for years.

'Amazing how it has changed my quality of life'
Being in the medical field I am a horrible patient, but since seeing Dr. Miller I have to say that it’s amazing how it has changed my quality of life. I didn’t realize how my body being out of alignment had such an affect on me. Headaches everyday for the past few years had become a normal occurrence. Now it’s great being able to breathe deeply and get up in the morning without having to take Tylenol because my head is pounding. It changed my whole mental attitude which in turn makes my day go by so much better.
Thanks Dr. Miller!

Wheat, corn and oat food sensitivities
Originally Dr. Miller tested as having a sensitivity to corn, wheat and oats- but since I love Mexican food it was hard to just never eat corn tortillas or chips and salsa. But last week when I succumbed to taste Mexican food again and tried only 5 or 6 corn tortilla chips and flour tortillas with fajitas- within 24 hours my upper lip split open and was bleeding as if someone had cut it with a knife.
I got the message!
I ate NO more corn or wheat and kept taking my supplements and within 3 days my lip healed. In the past I’ve also noticed that if I try to eat even one piece of wheat toast within an hour I feel tired.
I am learning to respect these messages!

'I can finally sleep without waking in pain'
After two years of commuting 4 ½ - 5 hours a day I was so tense that I could not move my neck to look side to side or upwards. After three visits I am able to move pain free. I need serious massage therapy, but the treatments allow me to stand straighter, move my head and finally sleep without waking in pain. If I feel this good and have so much more range of motion in such a short time, I can only imagine (and look forward) to what future treatments will do for me.
