Patient Testimonials

     Dr. Introna has helped many people just like you achieve their wellness goals.  Hundreds of patients have realized a level of wellness they previously thought not possible.  Maybe one of their stories can help you.

High Cholesterol

  I was struggling to keep my weight and my cholesterol down, even though I was eating a low fat diet and exercising daily.  A colleague referred me to Dr. Introna and after my exam he discovered in addition to me high cholesterol I had an un-treated case of Hemachromatosis.  After referring me for treatment and recommending dietary changes I lost 20 lbs and am maintaining a normal cholesterol without medication.
                                                             - David

"David's story was luckily a fairly easy resolution, on thorough blood evaluation I caught a disorder that had gone previously un-diagnosed and this condition contributed to David's inability to loose weight and lower cholesterol.  His Blood Cells were holding onto too much Iron causing him to have symptoms of severe anemia even though there was more than enough iron.  I referred him for phlebotomy ( a blood treatment) and suggested Zinc to lower his blood iron levels.  In addition we made some key changes to his diet that enabled him to lower his cholesterol naturally and with his condition under control he had allot more energy"

Adrenal Fatigue

  Before treating with Dr. Introna I was struggling to get through my days, now I have the energy to get it all done and my stress levels have improved dramatically.  I'm sleeping better and I wake more rested.

-Jennifer 

" When I met Jennifer she was out the end of her rope.  She used to be a person with allot of energy but after having 2 children the stress of parent hood and holding down a full time job had her exhausted.  After testing her stress hormones I found Jennifer was suffering from adrenal fatigue ( a condition of stress hormone imbalance) .  She was having difficulty sleeping and was easily overwhelmed by minor stressors.  Jennifer also no longer had the energy to exercise like she used too.  After testing we were able to see her hormone deficiencies and by supporting her adrenals with supplements in 8 weeks she was back to her old self and enjoying life, not dragging her self through it."

Reactive Hypoglycemia 

When my sons teacher contacted me to tell me she suspected my son had ADD and was struggling in school.  I was beside myself.  He seemed fine at home and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.  A friend suggested I seek an opinion from her chiropractor, Dr. Introna.  At first I thought what can a chiropractor do, but having few other choices I gave him a chance, we are so glad we did! 

-Michelle & Jacob

"In Jacobs case it was a simple mistake of miss-diagnosis.  When we go by symptoms alone sometimes we miss the obvious.  Unfortunately Jacobs case is not un-common.  Many children are mistakenly diagnosed with ADD because a basic evaluation is not done.  In this case the patient was suffering from hypoglycemia.  Conditions like hypoglycemia, anemia & food sensitivities exhibit similar symptoms to ADD, such as poor concentration, forgetfulness, difficulty completeting tasks, mood swings etc.  By properly diagnosing Jacob he was able to modify his diet and did not end up on prescription medications.  Jacob is doing very well now."

Pre-Diabetic (Type II)

In the past Dr. Introna helped me with back pain, during one follow up I mentioned "my back feels great, but I haven't felt healthy in years."  Dr. Introna suggested I try doing a basic wellness evaluation.  We did blood work and a stress hormone test.  I finally got the answers and the help I was looking for.

" Betty's story is a common one in my clinic.  She had been complaining to doctors for years about not feeling well but the right tests were not being done to identify what were early warning signs of dysfunction.  After blood work was performed we discovered her fasting blood sugar was 108.  Back in 2007 that was medically considered normal. (recently the qualifying value for pre-diabetes type II was lowered to 100).  Betty was also borderline anemic and low on many minerals and vitamin D.  By replenishing her deficiencies and coaching her on diet. Betty's blood sugar is now 85 while fasting.  She feels a whole lot better."
