I have been a patient of Dr. Dave's for the past few years and have seen chiropractor's my whole life. I was diagnosed with scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, two herniated discs and suffer from low back and hip pain. Various therapies they offer have helped reduce my pain and muscle spasms such as muscle stimulation and massage therapy. The adjustment has always been helpful to increase my range of motion and reduce the pressure I feel in my lower back, but it was not until Family Health Chiropractic moved into their new location and Dr. Dave was able to implement disc decompression therapy to my treatment routine that my quality of life improved. This machine is amazing! Family Health Chiropractic provides a non-surgical treatment for disc problems. The disc decompression table uses a computer and gently decompresses the disc area. This relieves pressure off of the spine. I am once again able to garden and enjoy time with my husband and children with out being in pain. I love the natural approach to health and pain management Family Health Chiropractic’s state-of-the-art clinic offers. The combination of adjustments and disc decompression therapy has enabled me to avoid surgery and painful injections, and to live an active lifestyle in such a beautiful place.

Sincerely,

The Littlefield Family

As a family, we are very active. Jim and I work out regularly and both of our daughters Makensie and Madison play tennis and other sports competitively. Being physically active on a constant basis puts a toll on our bodies and feeling achy became regular for all of us. Compounding that with the normal aches and pains of developmental growth made it more difficult for our daughters to sleep at night and led to use of pain medication more regularly. Both girls eventually had to give up playing soccer because it put too much stress on their bodies. After hearing about how great Family Health Chiropractic was through one of Jim’s coworkers, we decided to give it a try. The largest benefit we have received through Family Health Chiropractic is a more heightened awareness of our bodies. All of us can now recognize when something is out of alignment and can identify when we are pushing our bodies too far. Madison and Makensie look forward to their visits with Dr. Jenni and Dr. Dave because they recognize how much better their movement is afterwards. They are aware of how their bodies should be moving and appreciate how proper alignment improves their movement and diminishes the aches and pains they felt before. We generally feel less pain and we don’t use pain medication as often which was very important especially with our daughters being so young. As for Jim and I, Dr. Dave allows us to remain very active in our workouts with fewer injuries and less pain. Before I sought treatment at Family Health Chiropractic, I would experience the typical injures associated with tennis (knees, shoulders, elbows). Since my regular monthly visits with Dr. Dave, not only do I experience these injuries significantly less, but I am also able to recover from any injury much faster. Proper alignment has made a huge difference in how fast our bodies heal themselves.

We would recommend Dr. Dave and Dr. Jenni to all families!

I have been a patient of Family Health Chiropractic and Dr. Jenni Boczar since 2009. When I first came into the clinic as a new patient I was in a wheelchair due to the constant pain I was experiencing. The pain was in my low back area and radiated into the front of my hip area. Standing was impossible for me. On my first visit I was in such pain I had to be assisted by a chiropractic assistant to stand for my x-rays. In less than 2 months of being on my care plan and getting adjustments, a lot of my pain was gone; so much so that I was able go fishing again. I no longer need the wheelchair; I even progressed from my walker to only using a cane! I am able to stand alone and I now enjoy cooking once again for my family. My daughter-in-law, Mary Spence brings me in and we both get adjusted by Dr. Jenni. Mary is like a daughter to me and she has been a faithful patient of Dr. Jenni’s since 2003. Mary and I continue to come monthly for our maintenance adjustments from Dr. Jenni Boczar to prevent the pain I once felt from reoccurring. I am proof that it is never too late to start chiropractic care. The caring staff is so genuinely concerned for my health and well being that I truly understand why it is called “Family” Health Chiropractic.
Sincerely,
Leo Prevatt

 Mr. and Mrs. Swan

We were referred to Dr. Dave Boczar and Dr. Jenni Boczar of Family Health Chiropractic through a friend of ours in 2009. My husband, Bill and I were both in extreme pain. I had severe pain in my shoulder and Bill had intense discomfort in his low back. We both had limited range of motion and we couldn’t sleep through the night without waking up in agony. Before we sought treatment at Family Health Chiropractic, we were using unnatural methods such as a medication called Relafen and Bill had undergone a series of cortisone injections. Frustrated, with no relief, we decided to go the more natural route and try chiropractic care. That was the best decision we have ever made. As soon as we arrived at Family Health Chiropractic the staff welcomed us with smiles. The clinic is state of the art, clean and always has a warm inviting atmosphere. Scheduling our initial appointment was fast and easy. Dr. Dave Boczar is very knowledgeable and is very passionate when educating and treating Bill and myself. Dr. Dave Boczar put us both on a recommended care plan and right away we both started to notice some relief. About 6 weeks after starting treatment, our pain was gone. Today, we are now able to live our lives virtually pain free. We both sleep better and our range of motion has greatly improved. We no longer have to depend on pain numbing medications and are able to exercise more often and for longer durations. Family Health Chiropractic has helped inspire us to take better care of our bodies. Since starting treatment, we both have lost a considerable amount of weight.

We are much healthier and happier and would recommend Family Health Chiropractic to everyone!

Headaches

My name is John D. and I'd like to share with you my success at Dr. Boczar's office.  I came to see Dr. Boczar in early 2003 after suffering with severe migraines for fifteen (15) years. I carried a bottle of Tylenol where ever I had gone for the past 10 years.  I saw many different doctors, everyone from my primary care physician to a neurologist.  I suffered with these migraines for so many years that I just tried to deal with them as best I could, putting my life on hold.  I am proud to say that within one month I noticed I had been headache free since my first visit with Dr. Boczar.  It has been 3 years and still NO HEADACHES!!!  I found Dr. Boczar's approach to be kind, sincere, educational and most of all, compassionate.  His knowledge and ability to help people is a combination that I have yet to find in a doctor.  I was so amazed with the results that I am now (at age 50) enrolled in chiropractic school in Marietta, GA.

Thank You Dr. Boczar and staff!

Sciatica

I didn't think chiropractic treatments were effective until I met Dr. Leever in a business group. I always had lower back pain from a compressed disc. I decided to see her for consultation and a treatment plan.

Then when I had an accident earlier this year, I was left with a disk fragment pressed against my sciatic nerve. If you have had sciatica before, you know how painful and debilitating it can be. I had it for 2 months! Immediately after the accident, I started an aggressive chiropractic treatment regimen of 3 times per week. The relief was gradual, and Dr. Leever told me I had to be a patient with patience. The treatment worked for such a severe case, and surgery was avoided. After the month of aggressive chiropractic treatments, and then the addition of physical therapy for a month, I became pain free. Dr. Leever was instrumental in teaching me about my condition, educating me on what to do and why, and took the time to ensure I received the best possible care. She listens and really does care about each and every patient.

I highly recommend her for anyone with back or leg issues. I am forever grateful to her for keeping me as pain-free as possible.

Back Pain

For several years I have lived with recurring lower back pain. Every couple of years, when this pain came back, it was worse than the last time. Every time I would see my family doctor and every time he prescribed painkillers, anti- inflammatory and muscle relaxing drugs. I couldn’t help but think that we were always treating the effect and never the cause.

Finally, I decided that it’s time to try something different and I decided upon chiropractic care with Dr. David Boczar. After one visit with him I could feel a difference. I felt the tightness in my lower back begin to dissipate; I felt like I was standing more evenly; and because of Dr. Boczar’s explanation, I understood what was causing the backache and how we were going to fix it.

The results have been amazing.

Wellness/ Injury Prevention

I have been a long time chiropractic patient. Prior to coming to Dr. Dave and Dr. Jenni’s office I had been treated by 20-30 different chiropractors with varying techniques. As a government employee I travel to the ends of the earth on a regular basis. I have never been to a more professional, caring, and genuinely helpful doctors office in my life. I utilize chiropractic care for regular wellness injury prevention. I find that if I am adjusted on a regular basis (approximately 1x per month) I sleep better, and get sick and injured less often. I would highly recommend with the strongest confidence Drs. Boczar and Leever. Thanks again docs.

Neck Pain

I thought I would never go to a chiropractor until the day my neurosurgeon referred me to Dr. Jenni Leever.

I am currently a patient of Family Health Chiropractic. I have been receiving treatment for a neck injury, which was previously thought to need surgery. After the first four treatments I have had no more headaches or pain in my neck or back. I can now sleep all night and I feel much better when I wake up in the morning. Thank you,

—Sharon S.

Shoulder Pain

I first arrived in Dr. Dave’s office after several months of trouble sleeping, extreme shoulder pain, and waking up with numbness in my hands. I had gone to my family doctor in Los Angels, CA and was diagnosed with chronic bursitis of my shoulders. Pain medications and rest did little to relieve my discomfort. While in Brunswick training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center I was encouraged by the physical therapist to see Dr. Dave. Dr. Dave and his staff are great. He determined the problem, recommended adjustments, massage, and a stretching / strengthening program. After just a few visits I was sleeping better, and I am now pain free, with full shoulder motion. I am so thankful to Dr. Dave that I was able to finish my training. I only wish I could take them back to California with me. Thanks again,

—Maria O.

Carpal Tunnel/ Arm Numbness

I have worked on computers since my late teens, and was aware of possible complications with carpal tunnel syndrome due to keyboarding. I've always been pretty careful to take time to stretch my wrists and shoulders and use appropriate wrist supports. For the most part, I've managed to avoid much pain or numbness in my wrists, arms and shoulders.

But then, after being laid off work and trying to fill my time, I decided to take on stripping and refinishing the kitchen cabinetry. All the abuse I'd put my arms and shoulders through flared up with this intense activity and I could hardly hold my utensils to eat dinner without my hands going numb, and trying to sleep at night with the pain in my shoulders was spotty at best.

I had seen Dr. Jenni in the past for migraines and went back to her for relief from the pain and numbness. After three weeks of twice-weekly adjustments to my neck, mid-back, shoulders and arms, I was able to work pain free. And I'm now able to go to sleep without taking ibuprofen or other pain relievers. I am very pleased with Family Health Chiropractic’s friendly staff and Dr. Jenni genuine caring for her patients.

Fibromyalgia

I suffered from all over body pain for years before I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2002. The pain would vary in intensity, depending upon my activities. All of the medications I tried seemed to make the problem worse. Then I talked to a friend at the hospital and figured that I would give Dr. Dave and Dr. Jenni a try... Am I glad I did! My pain is much less and I am more active than I have been in years! Thanks, Dr. Dave, Dr. Jenni and Staff

Leg Pain/ Numbness

“ Wow I feel like I could run a race!” Those were my words following my last chiropractic adjustment at Family Health Chiropractic. I felt fit, both physically and mentally.. What a difference a few weeks makes. I had begun chiropractic treatment with Dr. Dave following a fall in which I injured my lower leg and back. In the beginning I was using a walker to get around and friends were driving me to my appointments. The walker is no longer necessary and I have begun to drive again. I am so thankful for Dr. Dave, Dr. Jenni, Heather, and April. I always look forward to seeing them and plan on seeing them on a regular basis as chiropractic is a way to maintain fitness and a sense of well being. Before my fall, I had thought about seeking help because I have a mild form of Cerebral Palsy, which effects my posture and my gait. Chiropractic has helped with both. Don’t wait for an accident to be introduced to chiropractic care. Begin now and you might avoid the accident!

Pregnancy Induced Back Pain

I've been under the care of Dr. Jenni for about two and one half years. My problems mostly concerned upper neck and shoulder pain, accompanied by excruciating headaches. When I became pregnant with twins last June, I made certain I saw Dr. Jenni at least once a week. In the last couple of months (3rd trimester), I stepped that up to 3 visits per week whenever possible. What a difference this has made in my pregnancy! I have only had one or two headaches - - lasting only briefly - - during my whole pregnancy, with a minimum of back pain given the weight of the pregnancy. You all are the best.

Auto Injury

I was rear-ended in a fairly severe car accident in November of 2002. It left my car totaled and my body battered and bruised. About a month after my accident I began to get migraine headaches in the afternoon. By January, I was having the migraines every day and was missing work and school because the pain was unbearable. I had gone to a doctor who prescribed muscle-relaxing drugs to combat the migraines, and at first they worked. By then, I had to switch medications three times and had to go to heavier and heavier doses to get any relief from the headaches.

"My husband had recently started to visit Dr. Boczar and encouraged me to give chiropractic care a try. I was wary at first because I knew nothing about chiropractic care but it was now February and I was tired of being in pain. I called my doctor and he said to give it a try if I felt confident about the chiropractor. I also called my mother and every person I knew, to ask what they knew about chiropractic care and if they thought I should give it a try. My husband's opinion prevailed and I went to see Dr. Boczar.

"After a consultation with Dr. Boczar., I decided to give it a whirl and made an appointment to get adjusted. The day of my first visit, I went early in the afternoon, before my daily migraine (I never did get a migraine that day). I have been going daily ever since and feel great. I have not had a single migraine since! I stopped taking my pain medication the day after my first appointment with Dr. Boczar. and haven't needed it again. I have no doubt that it is only the chiropractic care that has stopped my migraines. I would greatly encourage anyone who has pain to visit a chiropractor. It really can make a world of difference!"

—Heather A.

Hip Pain

When I first came in I had a very bad limp due to severe hip pain. A local orthopedic physician diagnosed my problem as that of osteoarthritis and deterioration of cartilage between the hip and leg bones. The physician recommended pain medication, followed by a hip replacement when I could no longer tolerate the pain. I am happy to relate that in just one month of chiropractic adjustments I have experienced a dramatic decrease in the hip pain. I also fully expect to avoid a hip replacement!

Thanks Family Health Chiropractic!

Sports Injury/ Peak Performance

Tour de France Champion Depends on Chiropractic

Lance Armstrong is the first American to win the Tour de France three years in a row. One of the methods he uses to keep in peak performance is chiropractic care. The chiropractor he uses to help him is Dr. Jeff Spencer. Dr. Jeff Spencer is no stranger to the sport.

According to Dr. Spencer, "My job with Lance and the team is to optimize the neuromusculoskeletal component of their training and, in the event of a crash, minimize down time and get them back in the race as quickly as possible. I adjust them as needed and guide them in choices of diet and supplements, which helps reduce the likelihood of injury." Chiropractic helps athletes perform better by removing interference to their nervous system known as subluxations. When the nerve system is free of interference the athlete can perform better.

In a study conducted by the New Zealand School of Chiropractic, University of Auckland, New Zealand reaction times were improved and shortened in volunteer subjects that received chiropractic care over those that did not. The group that received the chiropractic adjustment showed a decrease in reaction time of 97 milli-seconds representing a 14.8 percent quicker reaction time. Considering these findings, is it any wonder why Lance Armstrong and thousands of other athletes use chiropractic care to obtain their peak performance?

Pinched Nerves/ Golf Injury

I was having severe pain down my left leg. It felt like a bad toothache. I have to drive several hours each day for my work and it was getting to the point where I was taking pain medication every few hours to be able to do my job. I love to golf and was unable to play due to the pain. Then one of my clients in Portland told me about the pain specialists at Family Health Chiropractic. After some tests, I was diagnosed with sciatica. It was coming from my low back. The doctors treated the underlying cause of my pain. My pain has improved tremendously and I can drive much longer than before. I am back to playing golf on weekends too!

TMJ

Just wanted to say...Thank You!  I finally found a doctor who cares .  Thank you for your individual attention.  You helped my jaw in one appointment more then anyone has helped me in seven years.

Thanks Again,

—Jessica L.

Scoliosis

“I had suffered from scoliosis as a child and have been in chiropractic care for over 20 years now. When I moved to St. Simons Island from Columbus in mid-January, 2004, I was very impressed with Family Health Chiropractic’s personalized care. I’m currently on a once a month maintenance schedule for spinal alignment. “Over the years, I’ve been to “good and bad” chiropractors. I didn’t feel that all of the past treatments were effective… but I think Drs. Dave, Jenni’s treatment is effective, and their staff is great!”

—Elizabeth S,

Childhood Asthma

The problem began at 7 months old. The baby had 2 hospital stays and daily nebulizer treatments 4 times per day. Because I was under chiropractic care, I brought my baby to my chiropractor for evaluation. The asthma attacks subsided completely in a few months time after beginning Chiropractic treatment. He hasn't had an attack in 2 years. He has been able to resume all activities because of regained health. He can live freely again without carrying the machine around and his medicine. I am recommending Dr. Jenni to others.

Thanks,

—Karen S.

Arthritis

I am writing regarding my rewarding experience with Dr. Boczar and my first true dealing with chiropractic. I have had a lot of pain associated with a chronic autoimmune condition. As a result of that pain, I had trouble sleeping. The lack of sleep seemed like it really stressed out my neck, mid-back, and lower back. It was hard to do everyday activities and life was pretty miserable.

After only a few adjustments, my back pains have been nearly alleviated. I have more feeling in my feet (which for several years have felt numb), and it is terrific that I can actually start exercising again and really enjoy almost any range of movement. The doctors and their staff Heather, April and Sandy really care. I was so impressed I referred my mother.
