Patient Testimonials

Do you know any of these people?

1) Dr. Laurie has done more for me than any medical doctor or pill has even done

2) I have recommended Craft Chiropractic to a small circle of seniors in the Olivet area. Family members have been using Craft Chiropractic for some time!

3) Chiropractor: "Do you mean the one who gets you in, keeps you coming back until all your money is gone? The one who inflicts great pain on you and tries to convince you that you are getting better? No way! Not for me, for any reason!"

Then one day, I had an accident with a piece of machinery. I was in such pain that I could not walk or crawl to the house. I went to my family doctor immediately, and he sent me directly to therapy. I was treated well, given many exercises to do, and continued to be in unbearable pain. A week later, I was no better. The therapist suggested that I should try a Chiropractor. I was reluctant, but agreed. He recommended Dr. Craft, and I was given an appointment right away.

Using a walker, I dragged myself painfully into the office. At that minute all of the stories I had heard about Chiropractic became untrue. I was weighed, x-rayed, and taken to a vibrating chair. I was shown a film about chiropractic procedures and what to expect.

My doctor evaluated my x-rays and helped me to a table where I was helped to lie down. Dr. Craft was very careful and started treatment on my back and legs. I was helped up from the table and was able to barely walk with my walker. I was instructed to come back that afternoon for another treatment. I was also given literature to take home and read. I was introduced to subluxation and told what it would mean to me.

I was treated several times and began doing better after each visit. I was soon doing very well and was given a choice whether I would be turned loose or continue on a maintenance program.

I now knew the value of complete subluxation and learned the value of regular check ups and adjustments. I am not as careful with my body as I should be, but on my regular visits, I am evaluated and adjusted.d The main thing is that I walk straight and upright and without pain.

Yes, I am hooked on chiropractic medicine, but not because someone hooked me, but because I enjoy feeling well and have been treated special, no only by Dr. Craft, but by the office staff as well. If anyone has any questions or doubt about chiropractic medicine, they can call me! I would be happy to talk with them.

4) I'm really happy about the way they helped my back, the pain is all gone.

5) I had a very painful low back problem before coming to see Dr. Craft. After just a few visits I was feeling much healthier and not so stiff. I felt as though I could not move without a sharp pain. Now I feel great!

6) I've had lower back pain for 35 years. I did not know how bad it was until I started receiving Chiropractic Care. I still have a slight bit of pain, but nothing like it was. I wanted help on my knees. I have significant improvement and am walking straighter than before. The gal down the hall knew me by the sound of my walk. Now she does not know I'm coming. The best surprise to me is that I look over my shoulder now. I am a much safer driver. It must have been years since I have looked over my shoulder to drive. I also move my head more freely to drive.

7) Before chiropractic, my back felt as stiff as an old man's back would feel. Now I feel like my back is more flexible.

8) During therapy after a total knee replacement, my back began hurting. I had difficulty getting out of bed and out of chairs. Years ago, I would see a doctor of Osteopathis for adjustment, but they don't always offer that anymore. I really didn't trust chiropractic but was very desperate so I spoke with my family physician. He ordered x-rays and sent me to Dr. Craft. I spoke with Dr. Craft about my reservations but being in great pain, I placed my health and well being in his care. After a period of treatments, I did return to pain free, walking without a limp. What a job! I'm sorry I waited all those weeks in pain before coming to Craft Chiropractic Center to be relieved of pain and made whole. Now I call that a miracle! Thank you

9) Before I received Chiropractic care, I had really bad headaches and neck pain. After I received treatment, I could tell the difference after the first session! I have not had a headache and I also feel so much better in general. I totally recommend chiropractic care. Dr. Craft and his staff are "AWESOME".

10) I really didn't have any specific complaints when I came to see Dr. Craft. I already knew of the benefits that come with chiropractic care. I have since learned that my neck had been injured and now feels much better. I have ceased getting headaches and no longer take Ibuprofen.

11) After taking a serious fall, I contacted Craft Chiropractic for help. In six short weeks, I have completely recovered from what could have been a crippling injury. I thank the good Lord for people that are competent in this field. Prescription medicine isn't always the answer.

12) I have had neck pain/stiffness, with pain in shoulders and scapular area for months, and thought I would have to live with it. I decided I would try Chiropractic care since nothing else was working. After the first treatment I was pain free.

13) I had spasms in the middle back area. I had been to a M.D. for this and was given muscle relaxers and pain pills. After three months the spasms increased in severity to the point where one day I fell to the floor in pain only able to crawl. I was referred to Dr. Craft by the doctor filling in for my regular doctor. After the first visit I had no more back spasms and throughout the treatment I gained more mobility and felt better than I have in years. No more pain.

14) I have had wonderful results here. Most of the summer I doctored with medical Doctors and could only walk with a cane. Now I am walking very well, sleep better, and everything is better.

15) Even though I am 99% covered for my medical well being and 0% covered for Chiropractic care, I prefer to visit my Chiropractor first. I do not like taking any kind of medication if possible. My first instinct is to eliminate my pain by Chiropractic care.

16) I'm 30 yrs. old, and I've lived with migraines for 25 years. As I grew older, they would increase in frequency and intensity. Anyone that has ever experienced a migraine, or that of a loved one, realises how debilitating they can be. After having cluster migraines for a month straight, I decided to take hold of my life again. To get off pain killers and treatments that weren't taking away much of the pain and not correcting the problem. I made a visit to Dr. Craft. After 5 adjustments, my migraines were gone! It's literally like the light at the end of the tunnel. My life is my own again. I don't have to feel guilty about shortchanging my husband and my children anymore.

17) Dr. Craft has relieved my neck pain as well as low back pain. Dr. Craft and his staff show much compassion and are very friendly at all times.

18) My son had chronic ear & sinus infections and bronchitis from 18 months of age until 7 years of age. Tubes were put in his ears when he was 2. This helped his ears, but the sinus infections & bronchitis continued. He remained on a daily dose (or more) of antibiotics for 6 years. He had a tonsillectomy at 3 years of age, and more tubes in his ears at 5 years. Still the infections continued. He was allergy tested and was found to have no allergies. He began chiropractic care with Dr. Craft 1 1/2 years ago at the age of 7. Three months later, he was off antibiotics and has had only a few ear infections & sinus infections since then. We literally tried everything before chiropractic care. I wish we would have tried it 7 years ago.

19) In 1977, I was diagnosed as having Multiple Sclerosis. Since that time, I have been paralysed on three separate occasions, once totally, and twice on just the left side. Because of this, I favor my right side whenever walking, or really whenever doing anything. This causes the left side to become even more weak. my left leg began to drag, causing pain in my lower back and hips.

20) When I first came to see Dr. Craft, the pain was so bad I could hardly sit, or stand, and barely walk across the room. After looking at my x-rays, Dr. Craft said he was surprised that I was able to walk at all. After just a few adjustments, the pain is almost completely gone. I can now sit and stand with ease, and I am also walking at least one mile each day. I am hopeful that with continued chiropractic care by Dr. Craft and his staff, I will improve even more.

21) For a long time I was plagued with lower back pain and pain in my left hip. Dr. Craft gave me a lift for one heel and keeps my lower back pain free. The adjustments he gives me also helps my hip from being in pain. I have a job as a secretary and at times I get very stressed! The treatments that I have received from this office have kept me less stressed. I also enjoy the friendly smiles and joyful atmosphere! Thank you Dr. Craft and crew!

22) While I have been a Chiropractic patient for 40 years for various reasons, including relief of headaches, lower back pain, and shooting pains down a leg, I value Chiropractic most for keeping arthritis joints mobile. I have even had joints previously frozen, loosened up.

23) I have been under Dr. Craft's care for three years, because of chronic lower back pain. I have been pain free for two years now! Other doctors wanted to do surgery which I didn't want because I am in my mid thirties. I would recommend going to Dr. Craft to anyone, especially before the thought of surgery, to cure chronic back pains.

24) I have much faith in Chiropractic care. Once I was planning for a dance, the drummer and I were not together. I turned quickly to tell him. The next morning my left eye had no vision. I went to a very good doctor in Lansing several times, but no help. I finally went to a Chiropractor. He discovered a pinched optic nerve. After several treatments, I recovered my sight.

25) I came to the Chiropractor with headaches that would make me lose my vision and some of my hearing. The only way to stop them was to have shots that I had to give myself. Since I've had Chiropractic care, my headaches are few and far in-between and will go away much faster.

26) I originally sought medical help through Craft Chiropractic due to an injury to my lower back. When I first came in, I was unable to bend and move in certain ways without extreme pain and unable to move in others at all. After the first adjustment, I began feeling great. I have had terrible headaches for years and have been amazed at how few I have experienced since I have been under Chiropractic care.

27) Since undergoing Chiropractic care with Dr. Craft, I have had an increase in dexterity and mobility. The frequent numbness in my thighs and right arm has dissipated 95%. Also there has been marked improvement in the sensitivity of my lower back during strenuous activities. Also being able to bring my two children for regular adjustments has definitely improved their health over all, especially fighting off colds and glandular troubles.

28) When I first came in, I have had problems with my neck and shoulders for several years. I had seen several D.O.'s and went through physical therapy at one time for 3 months. Their only solution was strong dosages of Motrin and moist heat. After several years of Motrin, my stomach could no longer tolerate it, plus now I had problems with severe headaches and depression. After 7 weeks of Chiropractic care, the headaches are gone, the antidepressants are no longer needed, sinus problems have improved tremendously. Over all feeling great!

29) I have experienced back pain off and on since 1972. Eventually I was subjected to two back surgeries. I finally tried Chiropractic with Dr. Craft about 2 1/2 years ago. Dr. Craft has helped me to maintain a full life. I am able to go to work every day and continue to contribute to society. I regret that I used Chiropractic care as a last resort. If I had life to live over again, I would have tried this care first and hopefully would have avoided surgery.
