How Chiropractic helped personally:
I went to a Chiropractor for the first time when I was 18 years old. I was suffering form low back pain and horrible sinus/allergy problems. The doctor spent very little time with me and did not explain why I had the health problems and how Chiropractic could help. After getting adjusted, I knew I felt better, but did not know why. Later in life, I met Dr. McKay and Skipper. They took the time to educate me and explain how your body works, what health is all about, and how Chiropractic works. I never realized that the nervous system controls everything in our bodies and how pressure on those nerves cause our bodies to mal-function. I know have no low back pain or sinus/allergy problems and feel great everyday! My daily drive and purpose is to educate everyone that I come in contact with about Chiropractic and help people avoid being overmedicated and needless surgeries.

How Chiropractic helped personally:
I came to Advantage Health and Wellness Center in mid-2008. Before then, I thought I was a very healthy person even though I was experiencing lower back pain twice a month. On top of that, I was very moody and irritable. I thought that all of these health problems were normal because they are all very common. But was I wrong! After I started getting regular adjustments, my back pain and stiffness went away permanently, I started having more energy and lost the moodiness and irritability. I even started sleeping better. I now use my own experience to help others understand that common health problems are not normal, and, we don't have to live with them all of the time. I now wake up in the morning feeling great and ready to have a fantastic day. Thanks to all the doctors here, I have truely changed my health and in turn changed my life. I feel great and in turn can guide and help others to learn to feel great too.

Debbie, Supervisor
How Chiropractic helped personally:
For many years, I had problems sleeping. I'd have problems falling asleep, toss and turn all night or get up as tired as I was before going to bed. I adapted and accepted this as being normal. I could not have been more wrong. Thanks to Dr. McKay who has educated me on the causes of stress as well as the symptoms and the impact past events have on you later on in life. I get regular adjustments and my health as well as the quality of my life has improved. You have one life and one body. There is hope and help. If you haven't tried Chiropractic, you're missing the best life has to offer.

How Chiropractic helped personally:
Chiropractic has improved my quality of life tremendously. Several years ago, I was involved in a terrible car accident. I suffered from severe low back pain and neck pain. When I started working here, I began treatment and had a complete turnaround. The constant pain I had dealt with for over a year had finally subsided. Also, as a Massage Therapist, regular adjustments help manage the physical strain of work on my body.

How Chiropractic helped personally:
Chiropractic has been a blessing to my life. I have been receiving Chiropractic care for many years and it has helped me to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Chiropractic keeps me from having headaches, stress, and allows me to be pain free. I am happy to say that I am 56 years old and I do not have to take any medication. I get my regular adjustments and helps keep me healthy. I thank God that I found Chiropractic Care!
Ashley, Chiropractic Assistant (Therapy)
How Chiropractic helped personally:
I was involved in a car wreck in April of 2008 which left my car totalled and me knocked unconcious. I was in a lot of pain in my jaw, neck, shoulders and lower back. I first started out as a patient here at Advantage Health & Wellness Center. A day after my wreck I had my first adjustment which immediately took care of the headache I had since the accident. I continued through with treatment and after just a few more adjustments, the sharp pains and achiness in my shoulders were gone. I was back to feeling like my old self again. Through chiropractic care, I am able to do all of the things that I love to do at 100% and be just as outgoing as I've always been.
Rebecca, Chiropractic Assistant
How Chiropractic helped personally:
I began working at Advantage Health and Wellness Center with the excitement that I would be helping others improve their health, thus making a difference in their lives. While this is true, my biggest realization was that I, myself, have health issues that needed to be resolved! I had been having pain in my neck and lower back for a while (due to high school sports) and just decided to ignore the pain because I thought it was "normal". After exams and x-rays, I soon found out that I did have legitimate problems and that this was not normal. Dr. Skipper set up a treatment plan for me and after only a few adjustments, I feel better than ever! Chiropractic Care has really changed my overall quality of life.
Kelli, Billing Specialist
How Chiropractic helped personally:
I suffered with chronic lower back pain and severe headaches for over seven years. I got used to dealing with it but never go rid of the pain. About four years ago, I decided to go to a Chiropractor. However, this Doctor did not use a “hands on approach” and did not explain very much about what was wrong with me. I received minimal relief and decided to stop going. I thought there was no help possible and that all Chiropractors where this way, until I met Dr. McKay and Dr. Strickland at
Jennifer, Office Manager
How Chiropractic helped personally:
I grew up believing that it was normal to have health problems and that everyone has them. I personally had experienced sinus/allergy problems since early teens. I would suffer from headaches several times a week and this went on for years. It would not be uncommon for me to have a headache every single day for weeks at a time. I would constantly take over the counter medication just to try and dull the symptoms. Then one day my best friend advised me to see a Chiropractor. I was very skeptical and afraid, but with no other option, I decided to give it a try. I was very surprised in how professional and caring that the doctor and staff were. The doctor walked me and talked me through everything that they were going to do. The Doctor set me down and showed me my x-rays and prepared a treatment schedule. I was amazed that my sinus/allergy problems were getting much better and my headaches were becoming less and less. After completing my corrective care schedule all my symptoms were gone. I have now been on a Chiropractic maintenance schedule for years. I am happy to say still no headaches or sinus/allergy problems. Thanks to Chiropractic, I no longer have to suffer with these problems.
