For a long time I could not go up the stairs without having to pull myself up because of knee and low back pain.  I could not do anything, I could hardly walk.  I had injections in my knee that helped for a little while, and surgery was suggested.  Since I have been receiving care from Dr. Heilman I have been doing great and don't need either of those!  My knees are better than they have been in a long long time.  I can go up and down stairs with no problem and have been mowing the lawn and doing heavy yard work.   I could not be happier!

When I first came to see Dr. Heilman I had headaches everyday, my shoulder hurt,  I had lower back pain, and the ball of my foot was so sore I could hardly walk on my foot at all.

After my first visit my headaches were less and by the second visit gone completely!  My shoulder is 80% better and so is my low back.  My foot is GREAT now!  After the fourth visit I could even wear heels again.  I never missed a day of working 12 hour days.  I am really glad that I came.

During my pregnancy I started experiencing gallbladder problems, which even took me by ambulance to the ER.  I did not want to take any prescription medication recommended,  so I made an appointment with Dr. Heilman and he adjusted my spine to eleviate any nerve interference there, and he recommended a nutritional supplement, perfectly safe for my unborn baby, that helps with proper gallbladder function.  Throughout the rest of my pregnancy,  and now, I occasionally get treatment and have no gallbladder problems.

Recently my 5 week old daughter developed eczema on her cheeks and I took her for an appointment with Dr, Heilman.  He tested her for several homeopathic remedies and she indicated a need for one of them.  Within less than 24 hours after starting the remedy I started noticing an improvement in her skin, and 2 days later 1 cheek was clear and the other vastly improved.  I am so greatful that he has been able to help both my daughter and myself.

I have had severe heel pain for several years with it getting worse all the time. I had several trips to the foot Dr., trying different heel and shoe inserts and different medications, all to no avail.   I even went to physical therapy for more than 3 months with some improvement, but nothing that lasted.  I mentioned the intense pain to my chiropractor, Dr. Heilman, telling him that I could not even get out of bed in the night without putting on an athletic shoe to offer some sort of cushion for the heel.  After just 2 treatments, using the Biostem Technique, my heel pain was improved to the point where I could get up and walk without a shoe, and I could walk normally for much longer distances with my shoes.  The relief is wonderful, I just wish I would have thought to mention it to him a long time ago!

I am a breast cancer survivor.  When I first came to see Dr. Heilman I could not lift my right arm, or lie on my stomach due to my mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.  Today I am happy to say I have very little pain in the right side and I can lift my right arm over my head!  Thank you Dr. Heilman.

Early this year I had been sick for about 1 week, had seen the MD, and was taking antibiotics for a sinus/bronchial diagnosis.  After about a week of that I had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance, unable to breathe, with a very low oxygen level.  After 3 days in the hospital with 3 different diagnoses and several treatments, including IV's, steroids, more antibiotics, and breathing treatments, I was sent home on oxygen, feeling no better than when I went in.  I had heard about Dr. Heilman and called, after the 2nd visit I was on my way to feeling better! I have seen him several times now for different things and he now sees some of my family, always treating each of us with knowledge, respect, and involving us in our own health care, after all, it is our body and our health, we should have some sort of input as to how to correct its' problems!  Thank you Dr. Heilman.

Case No. 0010 – 60-year-old female homemaker

Patient came in because she was experiencing extreme pain in the left lower extremity after having extensive surgery to the veins of her left leg.  Post-surgical pain was being treated with medications; however, the significant swelling in the lower extremity was becoming a concern.

We utilized the BioStim treatment on the left lower leg with exceptional results.  On her next visit one day later, patient indicated that the swelling had been reduced by 50 percent.  The pain in her leg was reduced to the point where medications were not needed at that time.

Patient returned in three days stating that the pain was minimal, at best, and that the edema remaining in the lower extremity was inconsequential.


Case No. 0011 – 14-year-old male

Patient presented complaining of headaches.  His mother stated that he had been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD), allergies, and asthma.  She mentioned that he may also have Tourret’s Syndrome.

Evaluation revealed that he had nine allergies:  aspergillus, animal hair, household chemicals, cow’s milk, soy, ethanol, solvents, and gliaden.  He also had candida.  On his first visit, we treated him for candida, which cleared in two visits.  We then began treating for the allergies, clearing aspergillus and animal hair first.  On his next visit, we cleared household chemicals and ethanol; next visit, cow’s milk and gliaden; and next visit, soy.  He was then given the supplement Zymex.

The conditions that he had suffered (headaches, asthma, and allergies) completely resolved, as did his symptoms of ADD.  The Tourret’s Syndrome never did manifest. 


Case No. 0021 – 77-year-old retired female

Patient’s history included severe leg pain emanating from the sacroiliac on the left side migrating into the left thigh and lower leg and ankle.  Patient had had this pain for a period of three months.  Her pain was so great that her appetite had diminished significantly; consequently, she was losing weight, which was causing concern to her family members.  Surgery was recommended; however, because of her age, it was decided to try other measures.  That is when she came to our office.

Examination revealed weakness of the gluteus medius, quadriceps, and psoas, all on the left side.  It was determined that this patient had a sacroiliac dysfunction on the left side, with subluxations and degenerative disc disease at the lumbar 4 and lumbar 5 levels.  Corrections were made to the L4 and L5 vertebrae.  Patient returned in two days.  She stated that her pain was reduced by more than 50 percent.  The same procedure was administered.  The patient again returned in two days, saying that her pain was now reduced by 90 percent.  The same treatment was administered; and, by the fourth visit, her pain was absent.  The patient was eating well again and began to regain strength.


Case No. 0052 – 78-year-old female

Patient presented with excruciating pain in the right lower extremity.  Patient ambulated with great difficulty into the treatment room. 

Examination showed that the great toe on the right foot, as well as the second toe and the ball of her right foot, were quite swollen and red.  Gout was the diagnosis. 

We began the BioStim procedure.  In less than two minutes of treatment, she was ambulating well and virtually pain free.

Case No. 0074 – 46-year-old male office worker

Patient presented with complaints of tinnitus bilaterally (ringing in the ears).  His history revealed an auto accident two years prior.  The tinnitus was severe to the point where concentration was impossible.  It was aggravated by any exertion.  Patient was losing sleep, and his job performance was suffering.

 Examination showed a cranial fault involving the occiput.  There was bilateral weakness of the trapezius muscles, as well as the anterior cervical muscles.  Spasms were evident in the cervical spine.  There were subluxations at C1 and C5.

Treatment began with correction of the cranial fault and adjustment to the first and fifth cervical segments.  Patient returned in two days, mentioning that he had noticed some improvement in the tinnitus.  Patient returned again in four days and indicated that the ringing in his ears had diminished by 90 percent.  When the patient returned two weeks later, only a mild residual tinnitus was present.  Patient was released to PRN (return when necessary).


Case No. 0098 – 57-year-old male truck driver

Patient presented with complaints of severe pain in the tailbone, with pain radiating into the left lower extremity, as well as severe acid reflux. The pain in the lower back was rated a 9 on a 1-to-10 scale, with 10 being the most excruciating. Patient was taking double doses of Nexium for the acid reflux at a cost of $350 per month.  The medication helped alleviate it to the point where he was able to sleep while in a reclined position at 45 degrees, rather than horizontal, in the sleeper cab of his truck. 

Examination revealed that there was weakness of the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, hamstring, quadriceps, and psoas muscles.  Diminished Achilles reflex on the left side was indicated.  There were subluxations at lumbar 5, thoracic 6 and 7, and cervical 1.  A cranial fault at the occiput was also revealed. 

Corrections were made to the cranium with the BioCranial Technique.  Adjustments to the sacroiliac on the left side and L5, T6, T7, and C1 were administered.  Patient was also placed on the digestive support Zypan (betaine hydrochloride).  Zypan is used to help increase and regulate the level of hydrochloric acid in the stomach; whereas, Nexium is used to reduce it.

Patient returned three days later relating that his low back and leg pain had reduced by 75 percent.  He proclaimed that the acid reflux was completely relieved in less than 24 hours and never returned.  Patient returned in 17 days stating that the low back and leg pain had been resolved.  He continued to have good digestive health with no acid reflux.


Case No. 0106 – 22-year-old female interior designer

Patient presented with allergies to cow’s milk, pollen, weeds, trees, feathers, and flowers.  Her history proffered that she would use as much as a full box of Kleenex in a 24-hour period.  She was not able to go outside, and she had to restrict her diet severely.  She felt as though her social life was non-existent.

We began treating her with the CranioBiotic Technique, and systematically eliminated all of the aforementioned allergies.  Patient has returned to a normal lifestyle.  We released her to PRN (return as necessary).

Examination revealed severe spasms involving the paravertebral musculature of the cervical spine, as well as weakness of the trapezius muscles and of the anterior cervical muscles bilaterally.  There was a cranial fault involving the occiput, with involvement of the temporal mandibular joint (TMJ).  We corrected this fault with the BioCranial Technique.

Re-evaluation of the patient indicated that, following treatment, the aforementioned muscles returned to full strength.  The muscle spasms had been eliminated.  On the follow-up visit approximately five days later, the patient presented with no pain and had not had any headaches in the last five days.  Another cranial adjustment was administered.  Patient returned in two weeks stating that she had not had a migraine since her first visit.  At that time, she was released to PRN (return when necessary).

Corrections were made to the subluxations at C1, C5, and C7.  Patient returned in two days indicating that range of motion of the cervical spine had increased greatly and that his pain had been reduced by 50 percent.  Patient returned in two more days indicating, once again, that there was not only improvement in the range of motion but also reduction of pain.  Patient, from that point, continued to progress; however, he did suffer several exacerbations due to overexertion.  Patient is functioning 90 percent better, with a reduction of pain by 80 percent and return of range of motion by nearly 100 percent.  Patient was released to PRN (return as necessary).


Case No. 0145 – 51-year-old female healthcare worker

Patient presented with right knee pain and stiffness.  She also complained of low back pain, with right leg pain.  She had been advised to have surgery, to include knee replacement.  Her feeling was that she was too young for the surgery; so, she sought care at our office.
