Chiropractic Testimonials

On June 16th 2010 I was stopped at a red light when an adjacent car turning Left passed out at the wheel and started to come at me head on. I honked and honked to no avail and tried to swerve out of the way. The car ended up hitting me behind the driver's door causing 5k damage to a brand new luxury car. Fortunately it was not my car. I was using it for work and it was a company vehicle. I felt ok when I got out, but the next day I woke up with a terrible headache. These headaches continued for 6 weeks. I did not want to make a big deal about it at first because I thought it would go away on its own and I did not want to go through a long drawn out process of Doctors, Paperwork, and Attorneys.

Unfortunately the headaches never went away, and I was now suffering from neck and back pain as well. I was getting to the point where I had to file a workers comp case or I would lose all my rights. I contacted a close friend of mine who I highly trust and know is extremely knowledgeable of these types of injuries. At that time he had roughly 1 year left at a highly respectable Chiropractic school in Daytona Beach specializing in the field of Atlas Orthogonal treatment. He recommended I see Dr. Alter in Delray Beach. He sent me a few links where I saw Dr. Alter on NBC and CBS where he explained what he does. I contacted Dr. Alters office and he and his staff particularly Donna have been wonderful to work with. They are so friendly and willing to work with you and your particular situation.

At my first consult Dr. Alter sat me down after running several ex rays on me and told me his game plan. When I came back for the next visit he had all of his calculations ready. After my first treatment the daily headaches went away. The treatment was non invasive and did not hurt a bit, but I felt sore the next day. He reassured me that was normal and within a few days the muscle soreness was gone along with the headaches, back pain and muscle pain. I felt great.

All the other Doctors and specialists I had to see through my workers comp prior to Dr. Alter either wanted to operate on me or keep me on drugs for the pain. I know that business model is designed to treat the symptom and manage the symptom rather than treat and address the cause. By treating your symptoms the drug companies have you on their drugs for life, leading to more complications and more drugs.

I knew that was not what I wanted. I knew if there was an alternative treatment that did not involve drugs of surgeries I wanted to try that first. That is why I contacted my friend who referred me to Dr. Alter. I am so glad he did. His treatments work for me. Although because of the accident I will never be 100% but with Dr. Alter's treatments I am virtually pain free without any medications requiring only a minor adjustment when ever I get out of alignment. I would recommend him to anyone who has ever been in an accident of any kind no matter how long ago, or to anyone who suffers from frequent headaches. You will not regret it.

Thank You,

As a young child, I would often experience the wrath of debilitating migraine headaches. My headaches would always start out as a slight pain over my right eye and gradually escalate to a full blown migraine that often included severe vomiting. Even the slightest noise or glimpse of light would make everything worse. Some migraines would last all night and I would sometimes have to miss school the next day.

As a young child, my parents and I never fully understood what was going on. I was taken to the emergency room twice due to dehydration from the severe vomiting associated with my headaches. The next day all my symptoms would disappear and the doctors were not able to attach an explanation to the situation. When I was seven, my parents and I went to see a neurologist. Since I was so young, he was concerned about the side effects associated with the prescription medication for migraines. He recommended Tylenol or Aspirin for the head pain and that I get to sleep as soon as possible.

By the time I entered my last years of high school I began to suffer more and more from my migraines. They would occur at least once a month. My mother began to worry about my headaches. She took me to a physician who ordered an MRI, but nothing was found. Frustration began to take over. I was tired of suffering without a cure. That's when we heard about Dr. Alter and his miracle machine from WPTV News Channel 5. Skeptical at first, we decided to drive down to Delray for a consultation.

Our first meeting with Dr. Alter was very comforting. We were first greeted by his lovely staff. Shortly after, we met with Dr. Alter. He was very informative and positively optimistic. I was extremely pleased with all the information he provided us with. He took x-rays in his office and a couple of days later I went in for my first adjustment. The procedure was painless. All I had to do was lie on my side while he adjusted the table and delivered a tiny tap on my neck. I didn't feel any pain. When he was finished I rested on the table for a couple minutes and I could already feel the difference. The nerves down my neck and back felt warm and comfortable.

Before this procedure, I never knew what a regular headache felt like. Before meeting with Dr. Alter the only headaches I ever had were migraines. Now, I occasionally get tiny, normal stress headaches. These are nothing compared to my previous encounters with migraines. I can continue on in life with these and sometimes a walk around the neighborhood or a Motrin will take away the minute pain.

Since my first adjustment (about five months ago) I have only had two migraine headaches. However the migraine headaches I experienced were unbelievably different than all the others of my past. These two headaches came on quickly and within half an hour I was asleep. I slept fine the rest of that night and I didn't miss a thing the next day in school.

I have experienced such a great improvement in my life since I started seeing Dr. Alter. I don't even mind the hour and fifteen minute drive from Port St. Lucie to Delray. He knows what to do, and I am truly thankful.

After a serious car accident years ago that gave me whip lash and a painful shoulder injury, I had been experiencing head aches and neck spasm with increasing intensity and frequency over the last 10 years.

As a traveling Entertainer, I have visited many Doctors, Chiropractors and Physiotherapists all over the world including in Australia, France, Tahiti, Germany, Holland and now America. Most of them gave up on me after a few months of treatment. They got sick of treating my ailments and not seeing any results. I continued to lose faith and give up hope that I would ever get any relief.

Sometimes I would be on the floor unable to move with tears streaming down my face for up to three days at a time. After the spasm would finally cease, I would be left with an unbearable headache for days or weeks. Sometimes I would go months with a continual dull ache and pain radiating from the back of my neck and into my forehead.

However, this year, I have finally found some relief. After meeting Doctor Alter and hearing about this new way of treating people without all the painful cracking and adjusting that other chiros do, I decided to give it a try.

Dr. Alter took many detailed X-rays of my neck and spine, something that other Physicians neglected to do, and carefully designed a program to "put me right".
I have now been headache free for months, my spine has stayed in alignment and my neck pain has been greatly reduced to a fraction of what it was. I have not had a spasm or a migraine in months either. I am very happy with the care that Dr. Alter is giving me, and am relieved that I can sing and perform again without the help of pain killers.

I would gladly recommend this type of treatment to others.

Thank you so much for not giving up on me.

Love and hugs,

My daughter Katherine Peraza is 14 years old. She developed severe migraines a year ago. She was taken to the neurologist. An MRI was performed which resulted normal. She has been taking medications but nothing seemed to help. It has been a very frustrating year. She has missed important events and uncountable days of school do to the severity of her symptoms that accompany her migraines. She has had migraines up to twice a week.

I felt hopeless. Until a month ago while watching the news, I saw a story about a procedure called Orthogonal Chiropractic. It stated that it was giving relief to people who suffer from migraines for many years and nothing seemed to help them. I called the office and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Ryan Alter even though his practice is in Delray Beach, FL. and we live in Hialeah, FL. It takes me two hours to and from. The story in the news motivated and inspired me to drive 110 miles. I found out that he is one of 250 doctors nationwide performing this procedure. Two days later right after her last migraine we met Dr. Alter. After a thorough evaluation of my daughter’s health history and symptoms he explained to us the vital role the atlas plays in the health of the entire body. Then he examined her neck to determine whether or not there were any abnormalities. He then proceeded to do some x-rays. On July 21 the first and only adjustment was made. So far four weeks have passed and my daughter has been migraine free for the first time in an entire year.

We feel very optimistic. The results are there to prove it. There has been an enormous and satisfactory improvement in only one month. Dr. Alter is monitoring her progress weekly to make sure the Atlas holds in its proper position.

It has been an exciting, interesting and incredible experience. Katherine’s quality of life has changed dramatically. Is amazing how this gentle and effective procedure called the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Technique can be so effective in treating migraines.

We are looking forward to a Free Migraine 2007-2008 school year. Thank you Dr. Alter, in such a short time of treatment Katherine’s migraines have improved significantly. My family and I are deeply thankful. Also a special thanks to Dr. Alters’ staff.

Sincerely,
Niuris & Katherine Peraza

Migraine Relief / Osgood Schlatters Repair

I am a mother of 3 children - and have been a Florida Licensed Registered Nurse for over 13 years. I am used to the Western medical model of “taking a pill” to get better… but when it came to my 10 year old son I was very hesitant to practice what I preach.

My son had been having headaches for a period of time so we went to our Primary Doctor for an evaluation. My son was referred to the Pediatric Neurologist where he had the MRI and MRA as well as the Neurological evaluation- which all came back within normal limits. So my sons pediatrician, as well as the pediatric neurologist, now wanted my son to take a few medications to control his recurrent migraines- I said- “This is crazy.”

His usual regime in the beginning had been taking 2-4 Advil’s along with a Mountain Dew until he was neurologically cleared. Then he started to have migraines more often, up to 3-4 times per week- and the Pediatric Neurologist wanted him to take a medication at night to induce sleep- and then another narcotic based medication for when he had pain during the day….I can’t remember the names as I never used them or got the prescriptions filled since I felt so uncomfortable with the though of “knocking my son out for sleep and then giving him a narcotic for migraine pain”. Heck- he’s only ten years old! So after talking to my husband – he agreed that this was not the way to go. So we went back to the pediatrician who recommended a Beta Blocker at a low dose. This is an adult high blood pressure medication that has an off-label use to treat migraines. I was slightly hesitant to do this- but his migraines were very frequent and I was frustrated with him not getting the relief he should have- so my husband and I said we would try it. He took only 10 milligrams of this medicine-and within one hour he felt dizzy and lightheaded- so I took his vital signs as a reasonable and prudent nurse would do when a patient complained of not feeling well with a new medicine. His blood pressure was very low- 74/38 and his heart rate was 42. He also complained of feeling that one half of his body felt very heavy and that he felt like he had to drag it to get it to move. So I called the pediatrician- and it took 2 days for a call back, and I was told that the heavy feeling was not a side effect of the medicine but that we would decrease his dose to 5 milligrams due to his low heart rate and blood pressure. We went forward with this last ditch medication regime but I was on edge every day wondering if my son would pass out in class due to his low blood pressure - and worried that he might even get a head injury if he fell. We did this new medicine for about 2 weeks and everyday was a “I’m a little dizzy” event.

At my wits end- and feeling let down by the medical profession, I went home and sat in my room listening to the news- wondering what else could be done. Then I overheard the health related news about migraine relief and Orthogonal Chiropractics. My ears perked up- and I thought- you’ve got to be kidding me- what would the chance of me being here at this time for this news information?!?!?!?! So I said “let’s see what this is about.” I watched the segment and then I went on the internet to research it a bit more. Then I made the phone call to get an appointment- as I thought- this can only help!

On our first visit to his office- which required a 1 hour drive, I told him right off the bat – “I drove a long way for this- so this better be worth the trip!” He was wonderful- he was “kid-friendly” and knowledgeable. He took his time - not the usual rushed visit you get from your standard MD. We did not get a treatment that day- we had to come back in one week. So one week later we came back. We reviewed his findings- and again he was not rushing me in anyway- even with all my questions- and then my son got his first adjustment.

Well that was 6 weeks ago- and so far I am a believer! My son’s migraines had significantly decreased within the first week… enough to where I stopped his Beta Blocker to see if it was the medication or the adjustments. (Also- ironically at this same time he was seen by an orthopedist and was diagnosed with Osgood Schlatters- an avulsion fracture of the tibia - Dr. Alter ‘fixed’ this on one of our visits as well- and my son was as good as new- so much for the 3 weeks in a knee immobilizer that the orthopedist recommended!! He even went snow boarding on our vacation which he was supposed to be wearing his knee immobilizer on! To me this was icing on the proverbial cake!!)). He was without migraines for the next week and then we went away on a 10 day vacation over schools winter break and the headaches came back (but the knee was great- and when he was migraine fee- it was a good vacation day.) . He had 4-5 migraines over our 14 day school winter break vacation- but he has not been seen by Dr. Alter to have his bi-weekly evaluation with an adjustment if necessary.) Since we have been back for 3 weeks, and my son is now “Atlas Adjusted”, he has only had one very small and very short lived headache- and it went away even before I could medicate him with Advil! I could not be happier with the outcome for my son. I feel I have spared him kidney and liver damage from that repeated use of Tylenol/Advil, as well as we were able to avoid using much more unnecessary heavier medications. I feel like I made the right choice. What a fluke for me to be watching TV that night- and to have that segment come on just when I was questioning how to make my son better. Coincidence or fate- what ever you want to call it- I am just happy that Dr. Alter was the light at the end of this long medical tunnel for my son. We still have more treatments to go- don’t get me wrong….and I intend to keep going to get that Atlas as stable as it can be and keep my son migraine free. Maybe soon we’ll be only have a once per month maintenance visit….but so far it is such a joy to see my son happy and playing as opposed to holding his head ( and knee!) saying how much pain he is having has been worth every penny in gas, every minute of the drive, and every dollar for the visits. So my sincere thanks to you Dr. Alter for giving me back my happy-go-lucky son!

Warmest Regards-

Leslie Menghi-Parzygnat and my son Larry Parzygnat III

I am a 64 year young woman who has been suffering from top vertebrae (the atlas) misalignment for 50 years. Traditional Chiropractic adjustments would sometimes take away the immediate symptoms, but within days, discomfort would be back. I believe this miss-aligned atlas has been responsible for facial nerve pain, ear pain, teeth problems, root canals, jaw misalignment, and worn teeth, which resulted in TMJ....as well as, headaches, inability to think straight, sore throats, colds and all-over body pain. With cardio and weight training being so important for healthy body and bones for this middle aged body, I had been avoiding these types of exercises because the myofascial pain has prevented me from engaging in this healthy regime.

I can't imagine the amount of money that has been spent throughout the years on weekly visits to my chiropractor, not to mention all of the dental work, as a result of the misalignments.

I heard about Dr. Alter from, Nicole Trombetto, who is attending Chiropractic School in Port Orange, FL. Nicole invited me to go with her to visit Dr. Alter as part of her networking exercise in exploring the techniques that are available for her training as a chiropractic student.

After just four weeks of care with Dr. Alter and this very gentle Orthogonal Chiropractic technique, I have less all-over body pain, (Myofascial pain) which has plagued me all of my life. I am already down to a once-a- week check, and my Atlas is holding very consistently. Dr. Alter is very clear in his support, and education of the patient. Dr. Alter has given me faith in my body and I have resumed cardio and weight training which will not only benefit these aging bones and muscles, but has already given me energy to perform my job joyfully.

I would say I am already 90% better. I know that the missing link in my good healthy program was exercise, which I am now able to do without the residual pain from the myofascial condition. I look at the Atlas as the "thermometer" of the Central Nervous System. It's amazing how one vertebrae, so close to the brain, can regulate the entire body's condition. Without my atlas being in it's proper alignment, I felt like an old arthritic lady and just wanted to sleep.

I find that the cost of the Alter Chiropractic care is less than the cost I had been spending with traditional Chiropractic. Dr. Alter is very committed to the wellness of his patients. His office team is efficient and caring, and make sure you are comfortable with no waiting time. I recommend Dr. Alter to my clients who need chiropractic care.

My name is Maxine Schweppe. I am a 63 year old retired registered nurse. Last year, I became progressively so ill that complications brought me close to dying. Actually I was so ill and in so much pain and increasingly debilitated that I begged my husband to allow me to die. Dr John Battilana MD, an anesthesiologist, referred my husband and I to Dr Ryan Alter, an atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Specialist. If not for them, I would not be able to write this testimonial.

My husband suffered with me. I became ill in May with what I called “fuzzy headaches” and symptoms that became progressively worse and sent me to the hospital a total of six times, two to the ER and four to the hospital admissions over a period of six months.

I started to have dizzy spells, then chess pains, then numbness, and tingling in both of my arms. This was followed by pain and pressure in my right ear and right side of my head. I also had many different noises in right ear followed by neck and back pain. As these progressed, my pain started to become unbearable. I felt as if my head was being pushed down into my neck and shoulders. My dizziness and vertigo eventually caused me to be bed ridden. During all this, I saw my family doctor and neurologist, an arthritis specialist, and an ear, nose, and throat specialist. My husband and I went to the Cleveland clinic and saw another ear, nose and throat specialist. I had multiple CAT scans, MRI’s of my head and neck and ear test. I was diagnosed with severe neck arthritis. (Later to find out, yes, I had arthritis, but it was not that severe.)

The ear, nose and throat specialist at the Cleveland Clinic attempted to push symptoms on me that I did not have to diagnose migraine headaches. With increasing medications (narcotics, anti-inflamitories, muscle relaxants, etc) and diagnosis, my husband and I became frustrated and desperate. My husband scanned the Internet. He placed in search terms neck arthritis and my accompanying symptoms. He found the Mayo Clinic site and discovered the diagnosis of occipital neuralgia. We went with the print out to the arthritis and ear specialist. They both agreed we were on the right track. I was sent to a special neurologist (headache specialist). He placed me on MORE medications and my condition worsened. He sent me to Dr Battalana. He did inter-vertebral injections to lessen the pain. I continued to worsen and returned to the neurologist, who was unable to help me. I almost passed out in his office and went directly to the ER and was hospitalized. Dr Battalana called the hospital to speak to my husband. He referred me to Dr Alter.

He stated that Dr Alter had helped him and maybe could help me. As soon as I was released from the hospital, we drove an hour and a half to Dr. Alter’s. He did specialized x-rays that showed my head was not correctly on my spine. It was to the left and forward. He studied the x-rays and had us return. When I returned, he placed specific numbers in his machine. I lay on my right side, and felt a gentle tap on my neck. I began to feel some lessening of my symptoms, but due to months of being ill, on multiple medications and unable to get out of bed. I was hospitalized with pneumonia, a urinary track infection, and with a 104 degree temperature. A combination that is often deadly in a senior citizen. Once I was able, my husband and I returned to Dr Alter. My neck was still in alignment, but due to the length of my illness, all the complications from medications, it took time for the procedure to completely work. My symptoms gradually receded and I was able to withdraw from almost all medications. As I felt better, my husband was able to track my problem back to a minor fall in May where I hit the right side of my head. We are finding those activities that caused my neck to go out of alignment and when symptoms start to reoccur. When this happens, Dr Alter repeats this very gentle procedure and my symptoms quickly recede.

We thank God that He has led us to Dr Alter. Driving an hour and a half from home is such a small price to pay. My husband says he has his wife back again.

P. S. We convinced my adult son to see Dr Alter. He has had decades of headaches and neck problems. He has had seen different doctors, has had several procedures and physical therapy without lasting effect. Dr Alter found he was out of alignment (though not as severe as me). My son has had such relief, it is amazing! He has had no problem staying in alignment. He too feels blessed to have found this atlas orthogonal chiropractor!!!!

My name is Mike Kolodney. I am a former professional athlete and lifelong "gym rat". My strength, physical capabilities and overall health have always been the highest of my priorities. Being the proud son of a pioneering Chiropractor, I was exposed to the profession and its natural healing philosophies as a very young person. Chiropractic attempts to keep us healthy through the proper alignment of our spine. In my opinion, there is nothing more natural and effective in keeping my body balanced and healthy.

Dr. Ryan Alter is a shining example of the next generation of Chiropractors. His practice follows the original footprint of ideology and philosophy left by the founding doctors before him. His enthusiasm for his craft is unbridled. His drive to continually "fine tune" his practice through learning better techniques and innovation is both enviable and refreshing. He has been instrumental in improving my health and well being. I am very grateful to have Dr. Alter as my Chiropractor. He follows in the formidable footsteps of another great Chiropractic physician, my Dad.

By the way, my Dad and Mom are both patients of Dr. Alter as well.

I am, by nature, an active person who enjoys the outdoors – golf, tennis, jogging, traveling and more. I should say I did enjoy that lifestyle until a fall on a tennis court put an end to it ten years ago. The fall resulted in severe back pain that made taking even a single step extremely painful. An orthopedic doctor suggested therapy; after three months, there was very little improvement.

A friend suggested a chiropractor. After six months – twice weekly, there was some improvement; I could move about with a minimum of pain but no golf or tennis. Walking became a chore after one block or so. I felt as though I had a 50-pound weight causing a strain on my back. There was constant ache unless I was sitting. Sitting was wonderful, so I opted to drive if going more than two or three blocks from home. Or I didn't go.
I tried a variety of chiropractors over the years; some were better than others, but relief lasted only until I drove home, or at best, a couple of hours if I did nothing to aggravate my back.

And, to add insult to injury, inactivity caused me to put on weight that I didn't need.
In desperation, I tried a Spine specialist. He diagnosed it as Spinal Stenosis and recommended surgery. A second opinion claimed it was indeed spinal stenosis, but not severe enough to warrant surgery. She recommended a pain killer. A third orthopedic doctor's x-ray indicated arthritis – "can't do anything for that. You'll just have to live with it. Take a pain killer when it gets too bad."

I tried all the so-called painkillers and found ALEVE to be my daily "get-up-and-go" pill. And that didn't last through a normal day.

After years of struggling – it was like trying to constantly climb a hill with a 50-pund weight on my back – I finally met my waterloo; it was a 3-day trip to Charleston, South Carolina. It required a lot of walking and it was a painful nightmare because I did not want to spoil the trip for my wife. The pain was so bad, that I actually swallowed three ALEVE pills every three hours. The pain dominated every moment. I don't remember anything about that trip except the suffering. I was resigned to a sedentary life.

A friend told me about Dr. Ryan Alter who practiced an advanced type of chiropractic called ORTHOGONAL CHIROPRACTIC.

I remarked that I was not about to get involved with that nonsense again. However, the friend mentioned that Dr Alter could cure a balance problem. I had a balance problem because my inner ear was damaged due to a mastoid procedure to cure an infection when I was in my teens. I suffered occasional bouts of vertigo and so tried Dr Alter for the balance issue. He did help me with that problem.

I was impressed enough to take another chance on chiro and mentioned my back pain. Based on the x-rays he took, Dr. Alter suggested that he might be able to help.
On Dr. Alter's recommendation, I opted for three sessions each week. Each session appeared to show some improvement, but minor.

After the third week I walked out of his office about 11 a.m. and realized that there was almost no pain – a little stiffness, but no real pain. But will it last? I was fairly comfortable – something I had forgotten all those years – through the rest of the day. The next morning, the pain was back, but noticeably less.

Now, after six months, I have no back pain! Morning 'till night I walk erect and sure-footed with no discomfort. Covering a mile or more on foot is no longer a problem. I can climb stairs, walk on cobble stoned streets and do hills with ease.
At age 85, I move as I did when I was younger. I will continue to get "adjusted" on a regular basis to ensure the current level of joy is maintained. Thank you, Dr. Alter.

My name is Patricia Lewis. I am 50 years old and for the past 14 years I have suffered from severe migraines. My symptoms started out with an occasional headache once or twice a week and soon progressed with extreme pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and any noise. Over the years I have been to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Cleveland Clinic in Ft. Lauderdale, and John Hopkins in Maryland just to name a few. As time went on, the migraines were no longer once or twice a week, they were now everyday. The pain became so intense that the headache was causing me to go into seizures which called for roughly fifty ambulance rides and over one hundred hospital stays. In this time period I saw many doctors, neurologists, pain management doctors, and chiropractors. I underwent every type of test to determine the cause of the migraines. I saw an allergist to be tested for over 300 different allergens that may be the cause…all the tests were negative. I was admitted to several hospitals within six different states all with the same results. I have been given every narcotic and preventative medication with no help and no answers. I have also received Botox injections and radiofrequency rhizotomy, both of which were extremely painful procedures. I also had acupuncture, alternative medicine, body scans, multiple MRI’s still with no results. For those long hard years I had seen over 150 doctors and stayed at least a total of 4 months in the hospital. Over 90% of the last 14 years I have spent in bed, not able to function as an everyday person. I have spent over $150, 000 on doctors and hospitals and medications.

I thought there was no hope until one day I got a call from my daughter. She told me there was a doctor who did a procedure that might improve my condition. She had seen Dr. Alter on the news and began to research him. She thought that if I had already tried everything else and was still interested in finding help, this might be the answer. I called for an appointment and within a week I was in his office.

Dr. Alter was very interested and concerned about my problem. My initial visit cost me $250 and follow up visits cost $60. I found this very affordable considering what I had been through. The second visit he used a machine to correct a small misalignment in my neck and within minutes my headache went from a severity of 6 out of 10 to a 2 out of 10. Within 2 days after the procedure was done, the migraine was gone. I couldn’t believe it. MIGRAINE FREE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 14 YEARS! I have been migraine free for over a month and I thank God everyday for what Dr. Alter has done for me. For the first time in a long time, I can enjoy life. I strongly recommend that if anyone is having migraines to try this procedure before spending the amounts of money or go through what I have been through.

To make a very long story short, I had a car accident in 1974. My car flipped over and when I released my seatbelt, I fell on my head, causing my spine to accordion. That was the beginning of a very long treatment, going from chiropractor to chiropractor.

Nine months after my accident, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I had little use of my arms and legs. I went from neurologist to neurologist, having needles stuck all over my body. I was given all kind of steroids, only to mask the symptoms. Eventually, I went into remission, only to have another attack in 1978. It was the same treatment all over again, going into remission for a second time. This time, I stayed in remission.

In 1985, I was plagued by dizziness and vertigo, causing me to go to bed for days at a time. I was told I had Meniere's Syndrome. Unfortunately, it left me deaf in my right ear, and horrendous balance.

In 1994, I started to lose the hearing in my left ear, and was told again, it was Meniere's Syndrome. It forced me to start using a cane, and to get a hearing aid. Life goes on, with the hearing aid and cane.

It is now 2009, enter Dr. Alter and his amazing treatment. I no longer need my cane!!! My balance is so improved.

To prove how amazing the Atlas Orthogonal treatment is, I had a car accident September 23, 2009. That evening I was so off balance and I kept getting dizzy again. I went to Dr. Alter as soon as possible. He took x-rays, and sure enough, my neck, spine, and hips were out of alignment. One treatment and my balance is better, as well as no dizziness.

I am so grateful for finding Dr. Alter. The Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic treatment has changed my life forever. Thank you Dr. Alter."
