What Our Turlock Patients Say

A couple of months ago the pain came back. And worse. This time the pain was so severe I had to pick my head up with my hands to get out of bed. The pain caused things I used to love, such as playing with my grandkids, unbearable and not enjoyable. I saw a medical doctor for a short time since all they ever did was give me drugs. I was put on Amitrex, but only took it for a while because I know how bad that stuff is. I did continue to take Excedrin up to twice a week for my migraines.

When I finally gave up and came back to see Dr. Beech, I was in tears because of the pain. He put me back on corrective care and in less than three months, I am happy to say I am drug free, migraine free, and pain free! I love playing with my grandkids and traveling with my family without worrying about pain. I know now that I will always have to be on Wellness care to keep my symptoms under control. My husband and daughter are also patients of Dr. Beech’s, and all three of us drive all the way from Modesto (separately!) for his great chiropractic care! To anyone considering chiropractic I would say that I have had wonderful results without drugs, and I greatly recommend that everyone be under chiropractic care!

Equally impressive is the dramatic turn-around in the health of my wife, Kathleen, and son, Timmy. Ever since I’ve known Kathleen, she has periodically developed severe back pains, the magnitude of which was totally incapacitating. Since coming under your care two years ago, she has not experienced a single incident of back pain. Additionally, from the time Timmy was two years of age, he would often complain of debilitating headaches. We would take him to a physician, who would supply a pain reliever and/or try to tie it into allergies, the tests of which were extensive and costly. Most important, none of the treatments rendered by medical doctors provided solutions beyond the momentary pain relief. Since coming under your care, Timmy has not complained once of a headache. It is quite miraculous, indeed, what you have done for our family.

Your highly productive expertise and very personal and professional manner is very much appreciated, Dr. Beech. My family and I also appreciate the kind, courteous and welcome reception always extended by your excellent staff. To you, your family and staff, a much deserved Thank you, a Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year.

That was when I found out I had scoliosis. One of the curvatures in the spine was causing on of my ribs to pop out, causing pain and difficulty breathing. I’m an active wife and mother of two, I home school and run our household. These health issues were affecting my ability to do my daily chores.

I didn’t start regular visits for a while, but once I did, I never turned back. I had never gone to a chiropractor before; I used to call them quackopractors. Since my regular visits, I rarely have headaches of any sort; I used to have them daily. I also used to take a lot of Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Aleve. Also, my rib has only popped out maybe once a year and not as severely as before.

Since starting care, my husband and two children have also started. We’ve noticed so many overall health benefits. We don’t get sick as often and nobody has been on antibiotics for 4 years. Even though our insurance doesn’t pay for our chiropractic care, the expense is well worth it. It’s too bad insurance companies don’t see the overall health benefit that chiropractic medicine is. We love Dr. B and couldn’t imagine life without weekly chiropractic care!

Cheryl and John are friends of our youngest son and his wife, Paul and Rachelle. We met Dr. Beech through them when attending the same church. I first came in about six years ago when Cheryl talked me into coming in for a special they were having for a free exam and consultation. I came in and saw Dr. Beech but every time he touched my back and asked if it hurt, I said NO! I was determined; no quackopractor was going to hurt me again. Dr. Beech knew I was in pain but also knew I wasn’t ready to trust him.

I watched for years as my mother was treated for back pain-spending weeks in the hospital with weights on her legs and in tractions, suffering so much. In April of 2005, she started coming to Dr. Beech and I’ve never seen her so pain free. She complained about the frequency of visits but as time wore on she was feeling so much better. That was a real testimony to me. Our son, his wife and their three little boys come in on a regular basis to ensure the healthy growth of their nervous system.

I finally decided to stop fighting the pain and see if Dr. Beech could help me. I already knew I had a curvature at the base of my skull and had been told by a surgeon I was one of the lucky ones- that arthritic spurs formed to fuse my neck. I had some movement but was especially limited when turning left or right. I had no idea I had a curvature in the thoracic or lumbar spine. Dr. Beech recommended an aggressive regimen of treatment so that the re-education of my spine would last longer and longer. Although I am not through the initial treatment, I am feeling less pain in my lower back and I have much more movement in my neck.

I love to garden and have a large yard. Because of my back pain, it got so bad that when I got down to weed and could hardly get back up. When Dr. Beech showed me the proper way to bend and get down, it felt so uncomfortable but now it’s becoming second nature. I’m actually enjoying the garden again. I have improved in some things that I never knew could. I have allergies that always flare up at almond blossom time and do not go away until late October-after harvest. Usually, during that time I take Allegra, and use asthma puffers with Albuterol. I also usually have two or three bouts of sinus infections. It is the first part of May and I have yet to use any medication. I’ve had “allergies” for 40 years, why is this year different? My lower back has improved; while I still have some pain, it is not what it was. I am able to rotate my neck without turning my shoulders, making driving much easier, not to mention safer.

I first hand-wrote this paper and never put my pen down. At Christmas time last year, I would write on thank you note and have to put the pen down and wait for the tingling in my hand and fingers to go away. I’m positive this improvement has to do with my chiropractic care.

If you glean anything at all from my chiropractic experience, I would hope it would be to not lump all Chiropractors in the same category, if you go to a restaurant and have a not-so-great meal, you don’t give up going out to eat altogether. There is NO reason to endure years of pain. Keep looking until you get a logical explanation as to where the pain is coming from and why, and do what the doctor tells you to do. It really does work!! Take it from a skeptic!

I have been seeing Dr. Beech for about two years now for weekly adjustments. The pain in my lower back has improved a great deal. My right shoulder can still be painful but it has developed so much more strength, and freedom of movement. Before I could not sleep on my right side at all, but now I am able to sleep on either my right or left side. It was painful to lift my arm up past my shoulder, but now I can move my arm all over. I could not lift much with my right arm and now I am able to do a great deal. I credit him with the improvement that I feel in my back, shoulder and knees.

I have been very pleased with the results I have had with Dr. Beech, and would recommend his treatment to others. I do feel that it has prevented my having to have some very painful surgery to correct the shoulder condition and possible my knees. Seeing him is far more pleasant than having to have surgery. He has taken the time to explain various conditions, explain what was going on, and how with adjustments, the situation can be improved.

I loved hiking but had not been able to do so for a while because I was always too uncomfortable. Last summer, I was finally able to go hiking again. I am so grateful!!!

One day, I was talking to my friend, Margaret Paulson, and she recommended Dr. Beech to me. She told me, “He really knows what he’s doing”. That was all it took for me to schedule an appointment with Dr. Beech.

Dr. Beech took x-rays and did a thorough evaluation. At my next appointment, he showed me on the x-rays what was wrong with my neck and back and discussed a treatment plan. He was very honest in his approach and did not promise miracles. He did assure me that he would be able to treat me and I would get better. He even took the time to go over the exercises that I could do and made sure I was aware of proper form so I would not exacerbate my neck injury.

I enjoy hiking, bike riding, gardening, bowling, dancing and playing with my dogs. Over the years, these hobbies became increasingly hard to do. When I came to see Dr. Beech, I could not do any of these activities without a lot of pain.

Because of chiropractic care I am now able to enjoy doing the things I love. I am not completely pain free, but it gets better each week. I no longer suffer from daily headaches and I sleep better at night. I have been able to resume my exercise program and feel years younger. My friends that haven’t seen me in a while tell me how good I look and ask me what I am doing. My reply is “Chiropractic Care!”

I would tell anyone that suffers from chronic pain not to wait as long as I did. Give chiropractic a try. The only thing you have to lose is the pain.

Thank you Dr. Beech!

I remember at times the pain in my upper back was so strong that working out was not an enjoyment. I have always loved the outdoors and enjoy practicing yoga. My adjustments have helped a great deal and I am able to continue my everyday routine and fully enjoy it without the pain I used to experience on a daily basis.

I definitely recommend chiropractic care. The well-being of your body through adjustments is crucial!

I had seen a chiropractor about five years before moving to the area, but his adjustment always produced pain. So, I was worried about seeing another chiropractor. However another family, who had been under chiropractic care for a long time, and were friends of his, constantly told my husband and I to try their wonderful chiropractor-Dr. Beech. After many of these conversations, I finally called and made an appointment for the both of us.

At the office, Dr. Beech examined and x-rayed us and on the net visit he showed us our x-rays and explained his findings. I was amazed at the connection he made from my spine to my entire body. And my foot! I was amazed to learn my foot pain had nothing to do with my foot! Once I learned how even the reversed curve in my neck was affecting my health, I knew we had to do something.

After being under Dr. Beech’s care for only a couple of months I am 100% improved! Sometimes I even forget that I ever had any of those old problems. My energy has greatly improved and I am exercising and cooking and doing everything I love without worrying about pain.
Since my husband and I started care, we have started our children also.

Now that we are all under Dr. Beech’s care, I know that the great investment we have made is paying off! I want to stick around for a long time and I know that chiropractic care is going to help me do that. I don’t want to be on a bunch of medicines when I am older, and I know chiropractic will help with that too. Chiropractic is definitely an investment in your health and overall well-being and I recommend it to everyone.

In my original examination, X-rays verified the fact that indeed I had arthritis affecting my spine and other areas. I had already decided that I needed to lose weight. Dr. Beech encouraged me to continue this and add back exercise. I still continue to watch my weight and exercise.

I ride horses competitively for a hobby. There is a lot of movement at a high rate of speed. This would aggravate my pain and would also cause me to stiffen up, which would not allow me to flow with my horse. There was a point I thought I would have to quit my favorite hobby.

I have been receiving treatments from Dr. Beech for about a year now. I am feeling extremely better and I am competing at a better level now. I feel that the arthritis has been slowed down and I rarely have to take medication.

I can’t say enough to encourage anyone to explore chiropractic for the betterment of their total health. All you doubters especially need to try this method. I was the president of that club and will never return. I can’t believe I waited so long to try something that works so well. I have learned that conventional medicine is not always the answer. Modern Chiropractic is the way to go!
