PATIENT OF THE MONTH

FEBRUARY, 2013 

Carol & Thomas O'Donnell

"Having had a back problems due to a career in MA of sitting in an office and long times driving in a car, I thought I was done with chiropractors.  Since retiring and living in FL, I have been doing a lot of water aerobics which seemed to have worked wonders.  The community I live in started up  "pickle ball", which is a cross between ping pong and tennis. Since I have not had any back pain in a very long time, I decided to try the game.  Twenty minutes into it, I could hardly walk.  I waited a few days, thinking I would get better, but that never happened.  I called the Gindele Family Chiropractic office and they had me come right in.  One session with Dr. Nate and I had instant relief.  It took several sessions, but I am back to being pain free, although NOT playing pickle ball anymore.  Somehow, I ended up seeing Dr. Brie and she continued where Dr. Nate left off.
 
My husband, Tom, has been complaining about back and hip pain for a long time.  He has had cortisone shots but little relief.  I finally convinced him to see Dr. Nate.  Since my husband is a very big man, I didn't think Dr. Brie would be able to work on him....Boy, was I wrong!  Dr. Nate was out sick the day he went in for his first appointment, so Dr. Brie saw him.  She was able to work on him and make a believer out of my husband that chiropractics do work.  He now affectionately calls her "Olga"  This name started with another patient I sent over there, Kevin, who was in a lot of pain and could hardly walk.   Kevin was so impressed with the office that he even brought flowers for Dr. Brie, "Olga" and the office staff.
 
My husband and I have felt so comfortable and so welcomed at GFC.  The doctors and the staff have changed our lives for the better."

"I started going to Gindele Chiropractic when my Doctor recommended that I seek chiropractic care for my hip that had been hurting. I literally hobbled into the office and walked pain-free out after my first adjustment. It was a miracle! Of course, it wasn't that easy -- my body went back to its old ways and we worked on a plan to "teach" it to stay aligned. I am so much happier since I have started coming here! When I saw that they treated children, I immediately signed the kids up. They have all seen benefits from being adjusted, especially Owen. His headaches went away and we all sailed through October with no illnesses. (In years past this was the WORST month for us with bronchitis, pneumonia, etc…) 

I am now working out with Dr. Brie every Monday and Friday and getting even stronger thanks to her guidance and nutrition tips. I seriously do not know where we would be without the care that they have shown to us. We are all truly grateful."

"When we had our first son almost 9 years ago, we became dedicated to providing him with as natural and healthy childhood as we could.  We took it upon ourselves to learn about health, nutrition, as well as natural ways to stay both healthy and happy.  I had been turned onto chiropractic care from my research into natural health, as well as testimonials from health-conscious friends and family.  My husband had seen a few chiropractors on and off over the years for stress-related neck and shoulder pain, but we had not found someone who we felt we could trust with our children’s health, or who felt the same about holistic healthcare as we did.  Fast forward 8 years (and another son later)…..I had heard about Gindele Chiropractic through a friend.  I decided to set up a family appointment to go and meet Dr. Nate.  We felt welcome in their office from the first moment we went in.  Dr. Nate took time to answer our questions and explain their philosophies to us.  My husband and I both knew right away that we had found true partners in health, and were ecstatic.  My sons, husband and I all get adjusted regularly, and have been feeling great.  My husband’s neck and shoulder pain has improved.   Knowing that you have someone that you trust with your health concerns is such an amazing feeling, especially when you have children.  Dr. Nate and Dr. Brie have been wonderful with our sons and great for my husband and me.  We are so happy to have found Gindele Chiropractic, and recommend them to friends and family on a regular basis – my Mom has her first adjustment scheduled as I type this.  Thank you so much for your commitment to holistic health, and for being here for us!

"Chiropractic care has changed my family’s life.

While serving in the Marine Corps I injured my hip. I spent 8 years of my life in pain, taking muscle relaxers, while the pain spread into my knees and up my back. The Doctors I saw over those 8 years ran every medical test they could. The test results always showed nothing. At 28 years old, I was issued a handi-cap parking permit, I had gained weight, and stopped taking part in activities that I loved. I thought I was broken and I had surrendered to my rapid aging.

My oldest child, Penelope, has been sick often through out her life. One day in May 2012, I took her to her pediatrician’s for an illness visit. We left the pediatrician’s office with 2 prescriptions for 2 separate steroids. A friend had recently recommended Dr. Brie and Dr. Nate to me, as I drove out of the pediatrician’s office I called Gindele Family Chiropractic for a new patient appointment. Dr. Nate was able to see Penelope that day, she started looking and feeling better immediately and we never filled either of the steroid prescriptions.

Seeing how well Chiropractic care worked for my daughter I decided to give it a try. After the 1st week I stopped taking muscle relaxers. After the 2nd week I decided to take up running again. I was amazed at how quickly I was able to start taking my life back. Four months after starting chiropractic care I ran a 5k! I am still at the beginning of my journey but I now have hope of having a pain free, un-medicated, active life.

After having such tremendous results for myself and my daughter, my son, Alan Junior, became a patient as well. At his new patient appointment, Dr. Brie noticed he had a slight scoliosis and she began working to correct the curve in his spine. In just a few months his spine was straight. I can only imagine the future medical nightmare we have avoided by beginning regular Chiropractic care early in his lifetime.

Our family could not be more grateful to the team at Gindele Family Chiropractic. The care they have provided us has changed our life."

Brock is 10 years old and his goal is to be in the Olympics.



“ I have been doing gymnastics for seven years. Competitive training caused my muscles to tighten and my shoulders to roll. My dad brought me to see Dr. Nate. Once a week Dr. Nate would adjust me and tape between my shoulder blades. He also taught me pulling exercises to help pull my shoulders back. I’ve been going for 6 months now, and I’ve had great improvement. I stand straighter and taller. I keep visiting Dr. Nate because his adjustments help me to have better form which makes for a stronger gymnast.”

"FINALLY! I just finished my third straight day of walking around the block PAIN FREE. 
This is a far cry from when I first shuffled into the office, doubled over with left sciatica pain. I believe Dr. Brie did over and above what my insurance would pay for. 
This is not to forget her manipulation on my "frozen shoulder" allowing me to more freely use my right arm after a possible stroke several years ago.
Bless you Doc!"

"For a few years I had been dealing with lower back pain and stiffness.  I played rugby in highschool and college and the stress of that sport, lifting weights and working over the past few years started to take a toll on me.  I noticed I had a hard time running because my gait seemed off and my back would be very sore after doing any type of exercise.  I'm only 27, and I don't frequent the doctor very often, but my back is something I don't want to wear out.  I recently got a job up in Alaska on a fishing boat and had about a month's notice to prepare.  I needed to go see someone about my back before I left, so I came to Dr. Gindele.
 
After the first day when walking out of the office I noticed I was walking differently, much better.  I had forgotten what my natural stride felt like.  Apparently one of my legs had shortened from my back and pelvis being out of place.  Over the next few weeks Dr. Nate had me in a few times a week to make sure I would be healthy by the time I left, and now I am back to running, lifting and working without any pain or stiffness.  I would recommend Gindele Chiropractic to anyone.  I'm working 15 hour days on board now and my back would not have been able to handle it with them.  Thanks guys!"

Dr. Gindele gave me my first adjustment when I was only 4 days old! Now my Mommy and Daddy take me in for adjustments every month or whenever I get out of line - to say the least, I'm a very well-adjusted baby! I love my doctors because they are so gentle and kind. I'm not even afraid of the arthrostim because I know I can trust my doctors! My sacrum was out of alignment which was keeping me from being able to sit up like I was ready to do. When the Dr. adjusted my sacrum, I sat right up in the office!
Every kid should be as lucky as me to have their spine in line!
See you around!

"I used to sneeze and pull muscles in my neck and back all the time.  I walked hunched over and suffered with hip pain and migraines.  OMGosh! The migraines were killer!  However, in the last 2 years, the pulled muscles, hip and back pain have become less and less.  I have just enjoyed 6 months of being pain and migraine free!  

I still go to Drs. Gindele because I don't want to trip up and reverse all the work that has been done.  I have learned how to listen to my body and I exercise preventative health by doing regular maintenance.  If I think that I am taking on too much and things are stressful, I increase my visits to make sure that stress doesn't wreak havoc on my body.

The best benefit is knowing that you are healthy in the true sense of the word.  It's more than a feeling.  You can feel like your healthy but so much can be wrong.  It's more than the absence of symptoms as well.  Chiropractic adjustments aid in you becoming truly healthy. Every nerve is able to transmit information to and from the brain the way God intended.  It's a process; a learning experience, but if you truly embrace it, you end up living and experiencing life the way it was meant to be.

I am truly blessed to have both Dr. Nate and Dr. Brie in my life."

"I have been receiving Chiropractic adjustments for the many years in New York. Last year I became a snowbird and began spending my winters in South West Florida. Luckily, I found Gindele Family Chiropractic and have been able to continue receiving my Activator adjustments from Dr. Nathan. These adjustments keep me on track and feeling in tip top shape during the winter months when I am in South West Florida. Two months ago, upon a suggestion from my New York Chiropractor, a friend and I decided to complete the 21 Day Purification Program developed by Standard Process. We completed the program both to enhance our weight loss efforts and to rid our bodies of the toxins from food and the environment that have a negative impact on bodily functions and our general health and wellbeing.  We heartily endorse this program and urge all of our fellow patients to try it
This program is a logical companion to the Chiropractic adjustments that help me to feel at my best. In fact, I am continuing to use the Protein shakes made with SP Complete and a variety of fruits as a meal replacement in order to keep feeling my best .

"We have been going to Dr. Nate and Dr. Brie since they began their practice.  Our initial reason for going to them was purely for a healthier life style.  We have two boys and when we started, they were young.  Dr. Nate and Dr. Brie made their experience so pleasant that they both love to get manipulated now. In the years of going to Gindele Chiropractic we have introduced our extended family members to them also.  Without The Gindele's we don't know what we would do.   As the mom of the family, my role is important and it is imperative that I be healthy.  The Gindele family have extended their care and concern to accommodate all of our family needs.  They have improved our health and helped us during many difficult debilitating times.  We encourage all of our friends and family to take the time to go and see them.  We are walking proof that this style of health care is necessary and that the Gindele family are not only phenomenal chiropractors but they have grown to be great friends."

 "I started using Gindele chiropractic in 2008. I have a job that required me to stand 80% of the time with my arms out in front of me and if that isn't bad enough on my back and neck I am addicted to bootcamp at the gym. So extra beatings on my body is nothing new. Dr. Nathan and Dr. Brie have been a huge help to keeping me in line and out if pain. I originally saw them 2-3 times a week and now am able to use them once a month to maintain good posture and be productive at work and the gym without being in pain. It gives me peace of mind to know that as hard as I work to be strong and fit I can put my spine's health in their hands."

"My name is Gary, This is my story and I'm stickin to it.

I was from Massachusetts for 68 yrs with my wife Joan. Moved down here 2 yrs ago and live at the reserve at Estero. I have lower back problems for about 20 yrs. I tried acupuncture, it seemed to work but kept coming back. I never believed in chiropractors, I thought they were a scam. When we moved here my wife went looking for a chiropractor because she used them all her life.She found Dr Brie. She suggested I make a appointment, so I said ok let me try it. The first couple times it seamed to help, Dr. Brie suggested I come in Twice a week for a month , I said to myself oh boy here comes the scam.. But I got to tell ya since Dr Brie did her magic my back has never felt as good. And Now I don't have to see her only when I need It.

Thank you Dr Brie, I now can walk like a man.

"I started seeing the Gindele doctors due to major pain in my lower back/hip area. This was brought on initially due to the birth of my son 9 years ago, however it is continually aggravated due to the lifestyle I lead. One word....HORSES. LOL My children and I rodeo. So there is a lot of stress on my back. We won't even get into the falling off of trucks at RYC. Lol!! Anyway, I digress....Dr. Nate and Dr. Brie are awesome at correcting the effects of my extra-curricular activities. I try to keep them entertained and challenged with the crazy things I do to throw my back out of place. They are always accommodating with getting me in to see them, and they're always supportive and fun to be around. I thank the Lord that I have such awesome chiropractors to rely on. Thanks for your awesome practice!"

"I started coming to Gindele Chiropractic because I saw they were very close to my work. I have always felt my best when getting adjusted on a regular basis. It had been about a year since I had seen a Chiropractor so I was excited for my first visit. I have always had headaches due to a minor car accident when I was very young and I have found Chiropractic care always helped out with them. A newer, more alarming issue, I was experiencing was very irregular menstrual cycles since the beginning of 2010. They would vary from being 1-2 months apart and would be between 5 days and 2 weeks in length. At the time of my first appointment in July 2011 I had a period that had lasted for an entire month, which was the worst it had ever gotten. I did see my Primary Doctor about a year prior and also recently a Gynecological Doctor in March regarding this. I had some tests done that came back negative and was told my irregularity was due to being overweight. At my first appointment Dr. Brie she had found that my pelvis and sacrum area was not in alignment. After a couple of visits of my month long period had ended and I have been having normal cycle so far (fingers crossed!). In addition to all this my headaches have lessened, I have had more energy, and have felt better rested since being treated at Gindele Family Chiropractic. Going in for an appointment is always a pleasure. The office has a relaxed, homey feel and I would (and have) recommended them to my friends and family."

"In 2006, while living in New York, a friend told me about the "Activator Method." So I found a Chiropractor who practiced that method and the difference was night and day. I felt better and was able to be more active. I moved to SW Florida four months ago and one of the first things I did was contact Gindele Family Chiropractic because they are an activator practice and have great testimonials on their website."
 
"The doctors are very knowledgeable and friendly and they get me in whenever I need an appointment. They use other techniques along with the activator to maximize my care. They treat my back, neck, shoulder and headaches. I always leave feeling much better then when I went in. I could not see myself going to any other office, I recommend Gindele Family Chiropractic to everyone." 


"I first injured my back at work in 1999 while doing some heavy lifting. I was sent to many different specialists to diagnose the problem. After a CT scan and two MRI's, they showed that I have a herniation in my lumbar spine and disk degeneration in my thoracic. A few years later I was in a car accident where my neck was injured. Over the years I've tried many treatments to relieve the pain including physical therapy, home exercise programs and manual chiropractic adjustments. Nothing ever helped that much. For years I went to a Chiropractor who performed manual manipulation, for a time I was going four or five times a week with minimal relief, in fact I was often in more pain after an adjustment."

"Working in the construction industry for 36+ years, and as a carpenter for many of those years I had worn a heavy tool belt on my right side causing extreme pain in my lower back. The pain got so severe I could not sleep at night, or do even the simple things like tying my shoes in the morning, bending over to pick up the newspaper, and even working in the garden.  After seeing my M.D., he stated that my body was crooked and prescribed pain medication and muscle relaxers, and recommended a few exercises. After several months of this, nothing changed, that's when I decided to do something about the chronic pain in my back. I had been told that Chiropractic treatments might help my condition, and that's when I went to Gindele Family Chiropractic. I have been going to them for a month now, and I can honestly say that I feel 100% better, I sleep through the night, with no pain in my lower back, I feel like a new man.  I would have never thought that I could have gotten the relief from the pain that the Gindele's have given me! I now have the freedom to do the simple things again without the nagging pain in my back, thanks to the Gindele's for relieving my back pain."

My name is Lois Braden and I have been a patient of Chiropractic care since the age of 6. This is the winter second season I have been treated by Drs. Gindele. My first visit started after traveling for three days to get to Florida. Talk about stress! My neck and shoulders were tied in knots. After several visits my pain subsided and I am able to return as needed. Dr. Brie had spoken to me last season about some nutrition issues I was having and this season we were able to start treating them with some wonderful Standard Process supplements. My immune system, stomach and other problems are almost gone. It is a Blessing to have such fine Doctors to continue my Chiropractic care in Florida. Trust and communication are important issues in any business and the Gindele Family Chiropractic hits a home run every visit. Thanks Gindeles.

I had a particularly stressful year in 2010. My mom died, I lost my job and my dad fell and I had to deal with getting him settled in a new place. I started going to my general practitioner because I was really feeling weird. He sent me to specialists and couldn’t find anything but allergies and then menopause. I started going back to Dr. Gindele because I had extreme shoulder pain and they started treating me. It seems I carry my stress in my head and shoulders so they worked on that and I am feeling so much better. I feel more in tune with my body and can tell when I am out of whack, so then I go in for preventative maintenance. I also stopped taking hormones and am taking the Standard Process supplements that Dr. Brie recommended and am happy to say that my anxiety level and hot flashes have subsided.

I also have started taking my 9 year-old daughter in for maintenance when she starts getting the sniffles and it doesn’t turn into a major cold or illness. I would say the benefits of seeing a Chiropractor on a regular basis helps your stress level, and keeps you from getting really sick and you just feel so much better.

Last November I came into the office with excruciating low back pain after pressure washing my pool cage. It was the day before Thanksgiving and all I wanted to do was enjoy the holiday with my family, so I came in to try and get some relief. What I got was much more...after one visit I was about 85% better and after a series of adjustments I was back to exercising and living the life I was always able to. Now after being educated by Drs. Gindele, I come for my maintenance visits and feel better than I ever have! I even noticed that the colds and flu that I would get regularly seem to be not affecting me. I am grateful for what Gindele Family Chiropractic has done for me and I am looking forward to another year of good health!
