Success Stories
I came to Dr. MacAuley because I was experiencing neck/shoulder pain with corresponding pain down my left arm running to my index and middle finger. It felt like an electric current running down my arm! I also had weakness and numbness in my tow fingers. I am a professional musician and need the full use of my hands and fingers.
I had been experiencing the pain for about 2 weeks. At its worst, it was sooo painful that I couldn't sleep or use my hand. A very bad thing for a musician! I could not press down on the strings of my guitar, and I need that for a living! Needless to say, i was very concerned.
My attitude towards chiropractic has always been good, as well as my experience with it. I knew that any pain or difficulty in my neck or back should be dealt with by a chiropractor. Past experience with chiropractors had produced results for me.
Progress has been good for me since being under Dr. MacAuley's care. My neck no longer hurts, the tingling sensation down my arm is lessened and intermittent, and I've regained the use of my guitar playing fingers. I can now play gigs again. I can sleep soundly, and can now get on with my life pain free.
I have become a staunch advocate of chiropractic and everyone I know who saw me in pain asks me how I got better so fast and tell them Dr. MacAuley fixed me.
When I went to my physician, Dr. N, she told me I needed pain-killers and bed-rest. Basically did nothing. Because of Dr. MacAuley, I now know that my neck needs a "tune-up" to keep it aligned due to (in my own personal opinion) an injury occurred in my youth.
In conclusion, I go with what works and produces no harm. Pain-killers? Stress the liver. Bed rest? Can't afford it. Chiropractic enables me to go on and live my life. RO
Since the last time I wrote my success story there has been a lot of improvement. I was having problems with my lower back due to the adjustments and understood that it was a work in progress. I’m happy to say that I no longer have any problems with my lower back. My neck feels wonderful and we are still working on my shoulders.
I’m happy that I made the decision to see Dr. MacAulay. A. B.

Before coming to Dr. MacAulay I couldn’t bend down to pick up my daughter as a result of an injury in the military. My neck hurt so bad I would get migraines. Since coming and making all my appointments my back hasn’t been an issue when it comes to picking anything up and my headaches have disappeared. A. A.
Before I came to see Dr. MacAulay I was experiencing migraine headaches on a regular basis. There have been times that I have even missed work. Now my headaches have lightened and almost ceased. I am able to turn to the sides especially in the car when I am trying to change lanes.
Thank you for helping me get through not only rough times but also getting me through the aches and pains without pain relievers.

The most noticeably improvement has been the pain in my lower back. Standing up from a sitting position after long periods has been improved; the lower back does not seem to lock up.

When I first started with Dr. MacAulay I wasn’t very confident. My friends were telling me it was a bad idea to see a chiropractor. I had to get my back and especially my neck better.
I was experiencing pain in my lower right back, middle back, neck and shoulder on my right side. In my neck and shoulder it always felt like someone was stabbing me with a knife. I occasionally had headaches.
Lately I haven’t had hardly any lower back pains. I still have problems with my neck but its progressing.
CW
When I first came in I just wanted to get a massage for my neck and shoulders, which had been bothering me for quite a while. I thought it was just me being stressed. Then with the help of Dr. MacAulay we got the x-rays and saw my spine really was in need to be adjusted. It has been quite a few months since I started and it is a dramatic difference. I used to have really tense shoulders that ached all the time and recurring headaches. I no longer get the headaches; my neck and shoulders feel so much better. My overall well being has benefited. Thanks!

I have always been an active person with high expectations of my body. I expect to be able to do yoga and ballet as well as gardening and cycling. When I reached the point where my ability to do the things I enjoyed was limited by pain in my neck and hip I knew that I needed to change something.
Dr. MacAulay relieved my immediate pain and recommended a treatment schedule that has me doing everything that I want without pain. One of my major pains was a constant headache. I learned that Dr. MacAulay could relieve my headaches with a simple adjustment for which I am very grateful. I understand how to keep my body healthy now and what I am doing that causes pain. I feel more in control and I know that if something does happen I can get relief and prevent serious damage by getting prompt chiropractic care.
DW
Before I started my care I had neck and shoulder pain. Lower back pain that would get to the point where I would have a hard time walking and lifting my legs.
Since then I have extremely reduced neck and shoulder pain and almost no lower back pain. I have to contribute this to all the excellent staff and care that I have received. Thanks to all of you.
EM
I thought that I was just getting old. I was always irritated. I believed that my nerves were shot and I was going to lose my mind and was heading towards a nervous breakdown. I also thought this was the cause of my feeling nausea after every meal. I wasn’t sleeping through the nights. My feet were always cramping and I was having headaches everyday. If I drove more than 30 minutes continuous my left side felt tingles and numbness on feet, fingers, arms and shoulders. I had night sweats and sleeplessness.
After chiropractic treatments I no longer have night sweats and I now sleep thru the night. My feet have stopped cramping and I do not experience headaches on a daily basis. My patience has grown and I don’t feel nausea after my meals. My left leg doesn’t get numb. I can now turn to my left to check for traffic better.

Two years ago, I started to feel a small pressure in my back while I was at work. At first I endured. The pressure turned into excruciating pain. After resting it off, I decided to go to a chiropractor. He said it was being fixed under his efforts, but I felt nothing new. I tried another chiropractor only to experience the same thing. An another!!
My fourth chiropractor was Dr. MacAulay and despite my ever-growing skepticism, I gave it a go and felt results immediately. The pain is literally 100% gone and I also understand how it is being fixed and how to maintain it.
I want to travel the world and I just don’t know how I would have endured with this serious (and painful) inconvenience. Thankfully, through persistence, I found the right doctor and no longer have to suffer.
JF
When I arrived, I was stiff and experiencing sciatica and lower back pain and my legs ached. It was difficult just getting out of bed.
Now with the frequency of adjustments, massage and the wellness to walk 2 miles a day I’m on the road to physical, mental and emotional
well-being.

Before seeing Dr. MacAulay, my back and side always ached. Any physical activity hurt and my sleep was always disturbed. I was never able to sleep for long periods of time in just one position. Whenever I would try to change positions my lower back would ache. I have a young child and was worried that I would end up literally crippled. I did go to several medical doctors who recommended prescription drugs to ease the pain.
I had heard about Dr. MacAulay from my mom and decided to visit him and see what or if he could do anything for me. He thoroughly examined me, took x-rays and explained his diagnosis to me. He proposed and explained a treatment plan that would take away the pain and heal me.
After a few sessions I am now are doing things that I never dreamed I would ever be able to do again. I really believe that I am a walking miracle. I now believe in miracles. Unbelievable! This is the word that I continually think every time that I take a step. I truly believe that I am a walking miracle.

I have an interesting back. When I was younger, my tailbone had dislocated with no corrective procedures done to correct the damage. Consequently while favoring the side that did not hurt I developed a curve in my spine. After a car accident the curve was knocked straight, but the corresponding whiplash has followed me for the past 9 years.
Before coming to Dr. MacAulay I had a rigid neck that would be numb if I was in the car for more than four hours at a time. Since I worked using my car that presented a problem. My lower back was so swollen due to the fact that I slipped a disc four years ago and have not been able to lift anything since then. Now after coming to Dr. MacAulay I have move ability, no numbness and I can rotate my neck around normally. Thank you Dr. MacAulay and staff!
JB
When I first came to Dr. MacAulay I had just had an automobile accident. The next day I was very stiff and had pain in my neck and shoulders.
Dr. MacAulay put my on a schedule. Every time that I came in I felt better. Now I feel better than before I had the accident because he took care of some lower back problems that I had previous to the accident.

For the last twelve to eighteen months I have experienced great discomfort in my neck and shoulders due to what felt like a pinched nerve because of sleeping incorrectly. It would happen at least once a month and last for about a week before it would work itself out and I would feel “normal” again. I had previously sought help through chiropractic care and experienced significant relief through continued care so I started to ask around and a good friend of me recommended Dr. MacAulay.
Since beginning treatment I have not experienced the pain and discomfort in my neck and shoulders I did prior to coming to Dr. MacAulay four months ago. While I began going because of the initial discomfort, a side benefit of going been the decrease in frequency and severity of the headaches I used to get with regularity.
At one time I saw a chiropractor at least a few times a month until she retired, at which point I discontinued regular chiropractic maintenance until I found MacAulay Chiropractic and am extremely happy with the results of weekly maintenance.
JL
Since I have been coming to see Dr. MacAulay my neck is much more flexible and it hurts less. I am sleeping better because of it being better. My left finger joint is more flexible and hurts less when I bend or push on the joint.
KJ
I came into the office several weeks ago with pain in my back. My medical doctor was unable to give me any immediate relief. I was recommended by a co-worker to try a chiropractor. I have since had no upper back pain since being seen by Dr. MacAulay. I am happy that I have been seeing Dr. MacAulay. I have noticed the difference in my day-to-day activities. My original problem is now no longer bothering me. Which allows me to feel better on a regular basis.
KN
Today the neck pain on my right side is less severe than when I first started. Headaches are reduced, though not eliminated, are not as frequent. I am also able to tolerate long days in front of my personal computer without neck irritation. If at the end of the day my neck aches, using a neck pillow (or rolled up towel) for 15 minutes helps tremendously –better than Advil.
LF
I first came to se Dr. MacAulay when I brought my daughter in to see him. I was very impressed with how he handled my 7 year old. He was also very thorough, asking a lot of questions, checking her very carefully. Jordan was complaining of headaches and a tingling sensation in the tips of her fingers and toes. She has been seeing Dr. MacAulay for three months. The tingling sensation that she was experiencing is nearly gone as well as her headaches.
I had never had much success with chiropractors but decided to give him a try. I have had problems with my ears draining properly as well as tightness in my shoulders and neck area. One of my shoulders were so tight, I could not move my neck to the side easily. After seeing Dr. MacAulay, my shoulders and neck are so much more flexible and my range of motion is much better. I have had nearly no headaches since I have had treatments.

I truly know that chiropractic care works! I have been very active all my life, and have been in the care of chiropractors for many years (+20 years). Dr. MacAulay has been treating me for the past 3 years. Last fall, 2007, while going to get the morning paper off my front porch, I fell slipping flat on my rump down 9 stairs along my right side all the way to the floor. That fall left me with a bruise 15 inches long by 8 inches wide on my right thigh. I was grateful I hadn’t fallen on my head!
Despite exercising and swimming, by March 2008 a pain in my right hip was getting unbearable. It constantly felt like something in my right hip was out of place --- and often when I got up from sitting I’d hear a cracking sound. I sought Dr. MacAulay’s advice and he treated me by manipulating my SI joint. When he adjusted me, I felt a short sharp pain, heard a quick snap, and suddenly it felt like heaven. I had no pain anymore, and it really felt like he had put back into place some part of me that had felt out of joint/really out of place for some time.
I know that if I hadn’t seen him, my next step would have been an MRI and maybe surgery. Quickly after his manipulation, my problem with my right hip and leg was gone --- and even after several days now, I feel no pain! This, no doubt to me, is a miracle! Well worth the benefit of not having to resort to other, more drastic means.
Dr. MacAulay explained to me all the areas he manipulated and how the pain was pinching nerves. He is very knowledgeable, a “people person”, is very kind and patient. I highly recommend him those seeking a great chiropractic care physician! I am so very glad I now see Dr. MacAulay and that I got relief after enduring months of pain!
JF
When I came to this office I was at my wits end. I awoke in pain everyday and had pain until I went to bed at night. I tried painkillers like Advil with little relief. Medical Doctors were of no help to me. I had little mobility I couldn’t bend. It limited the things that I needed to do in every day life. It also made me depressed and moody.
As of today I can bend. I wake up with no pain. My spirits have lifted. I have 100% understanding of how my back works. I feel more in control. This is awesome.
LJ
I injured my lower back with a sports injury (volleyball). After the injury I could not arch backwards and lifting any heavy objects was painful. I began feeling relief after the first 3 adjustments – my range of motion increased significantly. By the third week of treatment my symptoms had disappeared. I still get occasional pain and stiffness (usually in the mornings), but by week 5, my lower back was feeling normal once again!
I am now taking yoga and I can now arch backwards further than I thought possible.
CL
After four treatments I can’t tell you what a relief I have felt. I can now sit at the sewing machine for four hours. Getting up only once for stiffness. Before I would have been lucky to sit for 15 to 30 minutes at a time.
My exercise program has improved as a result I am not tired because my metabolism seems to have improved.
I have had bad digestion problems for 30 years. I have not been able to eat all the things that I would like to eat. Now I haven’t had heart burn or gas and I was able to have a chocolate dessert. Wow!
MC
When I first came to Dr. MacAulay’s office I was in so much pain. I felt that there was nothing that he could do for me. Only after the second appointment with him I could not believe how wonderful I felt. No more headaches and backaches.
I truly believe in him.
I would highly recommend him to anyone who suffers from any of the symptoms that I have experienced
ML
I initially cam to Dr. MacAulay for the treatment of lower back pain. Through his skill and expertise my lower back pain was relieved. Further, on another occasion, I experienced a subluxated rib. Dr. MacAulay diagnosed the subluxation, performed an adjustment, and told me I would feel better by the end of the day. At the end of the day I did feel better. This is one of the first times that I achieved the results suggested by a doctor with such immediate results.
I would recommend Dr. MacAulay to anyone seeking relief from pain.
TM
I have had a positive experience with Dr. MacAulay. My pain is going away. With each adjustment I notice my whole body straightening up. I notice my clothes especially my bras fitting better. Thank you for your time and for helping me feel and look better!
MC
I first came here because of my wife’s strong suggestion. I didn’t think that I was experiencing any problems but soon realized that subluxations were affecting me in my life. I was an insomniac, I suffered from general malaise, and I had a recurring pain in my shoulder that I had learned to ignore. I was cynical the chiropractic could alleviate these symptoms. Now that I have been receiving treatments, I have been sleeping better, I have energy, and I haven’t experienced any inexplicable pain.
I now believe that chiropractic has saved me from the discomfort I used to live through. I think Dr. MacAulay is the awesomest.
MR
My daughter Sara is 7 years old and has Alopecia Areata Universalis and also suffers from moderate to severe Eczema. We have had some periods of severe Eczema where we have taken her to a dermatologist for help. When we allowed his advice often it did not help.
When I gave up what the dermatologist told us to do and just brought her to Dr. MacAulay for an adjustment the Eczema began to clear up and is 90% gone now.
Since Sarah has been seeing Dr. MacAulay she has begun to grow some hair on her head. She has been coming to see Dr. MacAulay for 2 years. She now has eyebrows again and she has had only 1 bout of asthma in 2 years!
PR
I had excruciating pain in my left shoulder that gave me headaches. It had been going on giving me pain off and on for over a year. Having the pain in the shoulder affected me by making me feel sluggish at not letting me get all my work done.
Since I have had treatment, my headaches slowly went away. I can move my neck and shoulders freely. I am able to do my workout properly and my job isn’t affected anymore.
AP
I didn’t realize how I could work and function and be in pain, until I had the pain go away. I had a pinched nerve in my left leg, which I ignored and minimalized the pain it was causing me. After seeing Dr. MacAulay for only 3 visits the pain had subsided. I won’t say 100%, but I would say 80-90% pain free.
What I noticed was that not only physically I am feeling better, but my mental outlook was much improved. I really noticed this at work. Before I would just go thru the day and just try and get by. Now I am willing to take on extra tasks and feel more like going just that little extra bit, doing tasks that I was avoiding before.
RS
When I first started seeing Dr. MacAulay I was in constant pain. My neck and shoulders hurt all the time. I was experiencing a headache every day. One to two times a week my head would hurt so bad that it would limit my activities. All I wanted to do was to sleep or be in a quiet dark room. Sometimes I didn’t even want to spend time with my family. I couldn’t read to my kindergartners because my eyes hurt. I was not the person that I wanted to be.
Approximately four weeks after starting regular treatments with Dr. MacAulay my neck and shoulders are not in constant pain and my headaches have been occurring about once a week. I am no longer feeling cranky and no longer yell at people. Now I can read to my daughter.
There are still days I don’t feel 100% but I am getting my life back. I am spending more time with my family and not missing out on my kids or time with my husband. I am becoming more like the person that I want to be.
RA
I came to this office with lots of back pain. I couldn’t even stand for ten minutes doing dishes without shooting pains in my lower back. After about 5 visits to the doctor I can stand without any pain. I can also do a lot of the things I enjoy doing. The doctor is wonderful at what he does. Thank you for such a great job.
RG
I have chronic back pain due to my disability, which is Cerebral Palsy. Under a Medical Doctor’s care the pain was managed by drug therapy. It did alleviate the problems but made me unable to function in daily life. Plus one of the side effects was possible damage to my liver.
Since seeing a chiropractor I have been able to manage the painful effects of my disability quite effectively without narcotics.
RA
I found myself getting annoyed with my first graders that I teach because of my tension headaches. Since I have been receiving therapy, I have noticed a change in my teaching. I am less irritable and perform better without the headaches.
SE
I first came in with pain in my back and stomach. Dr. MacAulay explained the symptoms and worked with me on relieving those pains. It has been about a month since I first saw the doctor and my pains have for the most part gone away.
SS
My name is Shannon A. I have heard about Dr. MacAulay from my uncle Ruben. I had told my uncle that I was getting headaches frequently. He said that I should try to see his Dr. and since Dr. MacAulay has been working on my I haven’t had a headache in a month or so. I feel great and my posture is also coming back. I can finally have a restful sleep. I am not tossing and turning anymore. All I can say is thank you Dr. MacAulay so much you have done wonders for my neck and back.
SA
I originally sought chiropractic care to relieve back and hip pain I was experiencing. In the short amount of time I have been receiving care I have noticed a reduction in the pain and I am more aware of the reasons for muscle and joint pain. The knowledge of why my body hurts and how chiropractic care can relieve pain convinced me that chiropractic was the solution for me.
SM
Before being seen by Dr. Graham A. MacAulay, Q.M.E. I had felt severe pain throughout my body. I was suffering from severe headaches and neck pain. Now that I have been seen by my chiropractor and get weekly massages I feel less pain, get a better night’s sleep, feel more energetic and have free body motion. I see nothing but goodness with chiropractic. Thank you.
TO
Before I started my care I had neck and shoulder pain. Lower back pain that would get to the point where I would have a hard time walking and lifting my legs.
Since then I have extremely reduced neck and shoulder pain and almost no lower back pain. I have to contribute this to all the excellent staff and care that I have received. Thanks to all of you.
TP
I began care to relieve my migraine headaches. I have been experiencing this problem for over 3 years now. The headaches got so bad that I was on 2 different kinds of medications to treat them. The medications made me very tired and I missed out on day of my life.
I had been to a chiropractor in the past for back pain but not for other needs. Since beginning care, I have experienced considerable fewer headaches and when I do have them, they are much less severe. I have not experienced and negative side effects from chiropractic care.
TR
When I first started chiropractic appointments I felt a lot of tension in my neck and in between my shoulder blades.
After about two weeks I noticed a difference. When I was sitting in the car or at my desk I wasn’t feeling as tense. I began to sleep better at night and feeling rested the morning afterward. I have started incorporating yoga into my daily routine. Now my posture and strength in my back is so healthy it is amazing!
I am now able to read at night and spend time with the kids in the evening without the usual end of the day neck pain I was experiencing prior to chiropractic treatments from Dr. MacAulay.
