I was stressed out severely mentally and physically from my powerlifting and personal life. I couldn’t get my mind to coordinate with my body.This went on for about half a year.I was a little skeptical at first.I noticed the difference when Dr.Porter used his clicker.I was amazed that with my strength he could push my leg down.That was really humbling.I have gotten better every visit and my lifting and personal life greatly improved.I started handling things a lot better.I could see that my body was feeling a lot better, no more pain.I was preparing for a huge competition against some of the best lifters in the world.At practice I was excelling.I ended up placing 3^rd, which is the best I have ever done.I ended up lifting far heavier then I had planned.I couldn’t have done as well if I hadn’t come to Dr.Porter.

 Thank You Dr. Porter!

Dr.Porter has changed my life!I went in to see him as a last hope for a stomach issue I was having.I have not had any problems with that since I have been going to him.In addition Dr.Porter “Integrated” me which changed me in ways I can’t completely explain.I am more focused now on everything that has meaning and can manage my stress in a much easier way.I am forever in debt to him for finally finding my true self.

I suffered from vertigo and headaches since 1998.I was diagnosed with MS in 2000.After my illness got worse I needed to use a walker.I used the walker for 2 years, and then on October 4, 2006 I was forced to use an electric scooter.I went to Dr. Porter on 10/10/07.He adjusted my lower back and neck. I felt my energy being released however, that week I went back to my walker.After my 3^rd visit everything in my body was good and strong, I no longer used my walker or scooter.I have been riding my bike, walking, and even did an aerobic workout with my daughter.I have lost 22 lbs and feel great.I haven’t felt this good in years. He is my personal miracle worker.

Thank you Dr. Porter

Initially I came in for lower back and hip pain.I had had this pain for several months.I was having difficulty just with activities of daily living.I was not even able to bend over without great pain for months. I had seen another chiropractor for approximately three months with little results.I went to Dr. Porters with a holistic approach; vitamins, diet, and gentle adjustments.I felt better within a few weeks and had lost a few pounds.I am so happy that my quality of life has been restored.My treatments far exceeded my expectations.The first time I had a break through in pain I couldn’t wait to go home and scrub my bathroom floor.It’s interesting how pain in movement can effect just the simplest of tasks.I feel better than I have in years.Thank you Dr. Porter, I Feel Great!

I came to Dr. Porter for low back pain. I had had the pain for three years. It was my sciatic.I had been to spine doctors, had MRI’s, and tried three chiropractors.I would feel good for 2-3 days but the treatment was only temporary.After my first visit to Dr. Porter the numbness in left leg started to disappear. I could sit down for longer periods of time pain free. I felt YOUNGER.Dr. Porter exceeded my expectations after having three years of pain and seeking many different treatments. Dr. Porter helped in 10-12 visits.I have and will continue to give many referrals to Dr. Porter. I tell people “You want to be fixed? Then go to Dr. Porter.”

I would like to thank you for the wonderful treatment you have given me throughout these four weeks.I had been suffering from chest pain since august 2006 and doctors couldn’t find where it was coming from.You, not only found it, but treated it to the point that I can finally work pain free.I will be thankful to you, Dr. Porter always.

On 1-16-06 my life changed.I was hit from behind by a legally blind, drunk man.He was ok, of course.I ended up in the dash of my truck.I was hit so hard it pulled the screws out and unhooked my seat.

That’s when the adventure happened.I went to my health care Doctor.She didn’t know what to do.She put me in an arm brace & gave me pills.The hospital could not find a break so they let me go home. I had a torn rotator cuff, my first rib was stuck to my throat bone, my C5 and C6 were out in my neck and L5 and S1 were also torn.At ROC I was hooked to some machine that would stimulate the hurt area, and then iced.That was one half of my life.At first I had three people trying to push and shove things into place.Then it became clear to them I had too much injury.I was told that it would take at least 6 months to a year to heal, but I should still work with them. Never did I improve.It was affecting my life and my family.I am a mom who felt she lost so much.I have a very patient husband and son, who is 10 now.I could no longer travel without stopping a lot.I could not do anything I loved i.e. snowboarding, wakeboarding, everything.Nothing helped.I didn’t take the pain medication much because I needed to be a mom, and wow did it hurt. Finally after months of treatment I was told surgery was the only answer, a full disc replacement for L5 & S1.I was only 34 at that time.

When I came to Dr. Porter in August of 2007, I my toes were numb on the right side, and my right side had a limp.I could not sit.I saw Porter in August of 2007.He changed my life.From my very 1^st visit I never needed a pain pill.It felt like a weighthad been lifted from me and I was ready for my life to begin again. That next day I began with a trainer who specialized in injury.I went 3 days a week.She helped my posture improve, and taught me how to take good care of my body through exercise and proper diet. Exercise and Dr. Porter became my new life.The only person who helped me was Dr. Porter.I thank God for him.It is now November and I lost 19.5 pounds and have muscles.The best part is I had Porter.It seemed like every time I was better. To have gone from 3 surgeons telling me I needed major surgery. Now today I can run, walk, and play with my child.I have my life back, and my husband and son have me back.I only have Dr. Porter, (Mr. Miracle, I call him), to thank that I have my life back.His techniques are magic.He knows what is wrong before you even have to say it.He is a man who has been blessed.We are thankful for him.What he does works; I truly am a walking amazement thanks to Dr. Porter!!!!!

We took our son, Sebastian into Dr. Porter to help him with focusing in regards to school.He has always been a good student, but all the teachers from 1^st to 3^rd grade mentioned year after year that Sebastian would lose focus and his ability to stay on task therefore creating more work and some frustration for the teachers because he would fidget with his hands and lose concentration.

We had never sought treatment for this; however we tried tutors, praises, and rewards.We would notice improvement at times, but it would come and go.We also noticed he would appear sleepy, but his diet remained healthy.

Sebastian went through the 8 treatment Performance Integration.We noticed almost instantly (2 sessions) that he was able to take directions quickly and did not get any markings for talking at school for 3 weeks straight.

We noticed first at school, as well as the teacher noticing.Equally, this is his 5^th year playing baseball and this is probably the most obvious.He used to get easily distracted on the field, whereas now he is one of the best hitters and is 2^nd catcher! It is so great to have other parents congratulate us on his baseball skills.

I have been spending 1 day a week in his classroom since kindergarten.I noticed a big difference in his attention span while in class.He is no longer getting warnings from the teacher to pay attention.He focuses on the teacher.

Yes, the treatments did exceed our expectations.We brought Sebastian to Dr. Porter to help with his focus in school, what we got was a boy who consistently shows improvement in all aspects of his day to day activities; his baseball, ability to sleep throughout the night, his attentiveness in class and his ambition to succeed which shows me confidence improvements.

I have received positive feedback from his teacher.Sebastian has become an attentive student, aware of his surroundings and he doesn’t seem to let others distract him, (which was major in the classroom before the Performance Integration).

During the summer of 2006, my right arm and shoulder problem was diagnosed as tendonitis by our family physician, and therapy was recommended.Several weeks of therapy helped, but I still had continual pain and trouble sleeping; when I lay down my arm would go to sleep, then become so painful, I would have to sit up and massage the arm until it felt better, then try to sleep some more.The following summer the same problem developed in the left arm.This time the Doctor referred me to an orthopedist who prescribed pain pills and an anti-inflammatory, then after a couple of months and nerve conductivity tests, said I had carpel tunnel syndrome in both hands and wanted to refer me to a hand specialist.I knew the end result would suggest surgery, so I cancelled that appointment.

I had gotten good reports from both a son and a daughter that Dr. Porter was the man to see.It only took a couple of visits with the spinal manipulations to feel the difference.After the third visit, I was off the pain pills and sleeping at night.Where before I could do absolutely nothing, like drive the car, do my needlework, gardening, without pain in my arms, shoulders, and neck, I now can do all of these things without the pain.The recommendation that I take the omega 3 fish oil and drink more water has also helped to regulate my system, and I will continue with those.The treatments by Dr. Porter has exceeded my expectations, (I was resigned to go back to that hand specialist if Dr. Porter didn’t work out).I would refer him to anyone with a chronic health problem.He has been a godsend.

I was in pain for 13 days for a severe back head pain.I woke up every day for 13 straight days with no changes.It felt like lightening to my head, and I was consuming 10+ Advil’s per day.I had gone to an MD and was prescribed 2 different pain pills.I also had an MRI and the results were negative.I tried the pain pills for 9 out of 13 days and they were not working, I was tired all the time from the prescriptions.A co-worker referred me to Dr. Porter. The very first visit I was very willing and open minded to non-western medicine because I hurt so much for so long.After the initial exam, I was immediately impressed with Dr. Porter.He was unique, had a very soothing presence and it felt very natural.I improved about 25% that first visit and by the 3^rd or 4^th visit I had 100% improvement.I felt normal again! It has been 4 months and no more pain.My husband and son have gone through the Performance Integration and my house is in so much “order”.I feel great and it has been amazing to watch the results of Performance Integration.Dr. Porter’s treatment very much exceeded my expectations.This was my first visit to a chiropractic facility and I am 36 yrs old.His knowledge, gentle demeanor, and expertise are more than evident.I have referred over friends and family members because Dr. Porter is such a miracle worker!Every person I referred sings his praise. Sierra and Kim are so friendly you feel like family.

Thank you porterwellness

After a difficult breakup with my fiancé and being unhappy at work I was experiencing extreme anxiety and depression.I could not manage to dig myself out of the hole.I conceded I needed help.For the better part of a year, (and off and on my entire life), I felt emotional, depressed, and completely listless.I could not sleep at night, which made work unbearable.At the behest of people around me, I sought help from my doctor.I was given an anti-depressant, a sleep aid, xanax, and a referral to a psychiatrist.The anti-depressants worked intermittently for about a month.After that I was more hopeless then ever.The psychiatrist labeled me manic-depressive after a 15 minute interview and $190.00.I didn’t feel better, and I never went back.I had no hope o fever feeling good again, and in desperation, would try anything to get my life back.My best friend has seen Dr. Porter for many years and he literally saved her life.I finally listened to her and made an appointment.I knew I didn’t fully understand the process, but I felt in confident hands.I left my first appointment relieved just knowing he may help me.That very afternoon, I had greatly increased energy.Then it continued the next day, and the next, the energy never left.Mentally I felt light and clear headed.I’ve never really had another tired or depressed day since.I take DSF formula for my worn out adrenal glands, and Total Leaky Gut.When I was worried about going off the anti-depressants, Dr. Porter measured me and suggested L-Theanine.I am completely amazed how much better I feel.But mostly I am just grateful to Dr. Porter for helping me because I really had run out of options or hope for ever feeling great again, instead of just a sad, tired, robot.Circumstances or interactions that used to send me into an emotional and depressive tail spin became completely manageable.The daily headaches I had are non-existent.I don’t have to spend every spare moment on the couch.Now I have the mental and physical energy to fill my day and enjoy it.Dr. Porter far exceeded any expectations I had of the results possible.

When I first went to Dr. Porter, I was expecting a miracle to happen, and it did!I had heard so many good things about him that I just knew he could help me.My head felt like it was going to explode, the way high altitude makes you feel, only much worse.My neck and shoulders hurt so badly and I could hardly move my neck.My abdomen (right below the rib cage) hurt clear through to my back and was noticeably “pooched out”.

Well my first two treatments were miracles! My head had calmed down, no terrible pressure.I could turn my head right, left, up and down first time in years! My “pooched out” abdomen left me, the pain as well.The best part is I lost five pounds just like that!

I have more energy than I have had in years. I am painting the house inside and out.For someone who has been unable to do much of anything for years (ten at least) it seems good to be “alive” again!

I presented a few issues to Dr. Porter.First, it seemed to me that I couldn’t relax.In the evening, when it was time for me to go to sleep, I couldn’t stop thinking of the days events, work, or anything that was left un-answered (such as a coding problem when building a web site).I tossed and turned for hours until I finally fell asleep, usually at about 2 or 3 am.Secondly, my palms were constantly damp and clammy.Lastly, I had a hard time focusing on a task without having my mind skip to something else.This has been going on since before high school.I had never seen anyone for these problems because I thought it was normal for everyone.I have been dealing with this for so long I figured some people have easier ways of dealing with this than others.

Dr. Porter treated me with Performance Integration (it is an 8 visit treatment that balances the mind and body so everything works together in unison).I found this to be absolute genius.Dr. Porter has a distinct knowledge of the mind and body dynamics.After the first two sessions, I started to understand how his treatments help the brain “communicate” with the body.

After the first visit, I felt a difference.I couldn’t be sure if I was convincing myself I would see a difference or was it in fact working.By the third visit, I knew I wasn’t imagining it.I was going through some changes.The first thing I noticed, I was tired at night and not 3 am, but actually at a normal bedtime.I also noticed I didn’t have to focus to stay engaged in a conversation.I am able to stay on task.I am now able to get to sleep in a regular time frame.No more tossing and turning.I am able to complete a task, (a conversation, read a book, listen to others), without having to focus on staying with that task.When I ride my motorcycle, I can visually snap to the gauges without searching the dash.I feel “looser” in my back and neck, more flexibility.My lucidity when speaking has greatly improved.Visually, everything seems clearer, crisper, and more vibrant.My confidence has grown.My decisiveness has also improved.No more clammy hands.I am more relaxed, I don’t feel tense all the time my day to day activities are clear, I know what I need to do and get it done.

Dr Porter’s treatments far exceeded my expectations.I was only expecting to sleep a little better. I never thought it would make such a profound difference in what I feel, or what other have seen in me. Since I have been integrated, my family and friends have mentioned how confident I am.I show confidence and make decisions now more then ever.So much of a difference, others have noticed it also.When I speak the annunciation of words are clearer, I have noticed and so have others.I feel the relationships I have with my family and friends have improved because I am a better listener and I am more patient and more personable.
