James, 13, joined recreational football last year and immediately fell in love with the sport. He literally counted months, weeks then days till he was back on the field again. He looked forward to playing again like another child would look forward to Christmas. But as this year's season started, he was tackled from behind and his enthusiasm for the sport was dwindling fast. By the Friday of the second week of practices, the pain in his back was so bad he limped off the field at the end of the night. This made him and I seriously question his ability to remain in the football program. On the advice of a friend, I took him to see Dr. Mike. That Saturday Dr. Mike discovered that James' pelvis was out of line. After his adjustment, James felt like his old self, had no pain, and walked out of the office minus the limp and with a huge smile on his face. His gait, flexibility, and his balance have improved tremendously, making him a better player. I would recommend Dr. Mike to any parent, especially those who's children are participating in extreme sports.

Susan, Thank you so much for referring James to Dr. Mike. He's great!! He convinced me to lay down and adjusted my back & hip and honestly I've got to tell you I feel 20 years younger!! He said I may (no guarantee) be able to postpone my hip surgery. After one visit I think he may be right. James feels like his old self again. His pelvis is out of line, but after his adjustment he walked out of that office totally different than how he walked in. I'm so happy I had the sense to have someone recommend someone good.

--Thanks again, Cathy

Dear Dr. Michael, It is with sincere gratitude & appreciation that I write this letter to you. I have been receiving chiropractic adjustments for the past 13 years since my first car accident. Through all of my discomforts, chiropractic was the only thing that truly helped to give me relief. Since my first adjustment, my 3 children have been adjusted from as young as 3 weeks old. People don't realize the physical stress an infant endures just through the birth canal! They need a serious adjustment after birth! I myself have had many physical challenges over the last few years and am so grateful for chiropractic, but especially grateful to have you as our doctor. Not only are you extremely accomodating to us always, but I know in your heart you truly care about my well-being and that of my children. I know if I'm having a really bad day, I can come in there and leave feeling physically relieved, but I also leave feeling mentally relieved ... and that's because you take so much time & care with your patients, they're not just your patients, they're your extended family. You're always ready to provide quality care, a shoulder to lean on, & a hug if needed, always encouraging us to come back soon. Thank you Michael, for not only being our doctor, but for being someone I know I can come to and who I'm proud to call my friend.

My back went out just after Christmas. This time I wanted to try a method other than the orthopedic doctor's standard one month in bed doped up with pain killers and muscle relaxants. I tried an osteopathic doctor. For two months I went twice a week for heat treatments and adjustments. I was no better. I could only sit up for 10 minutes with a footstool, then it was back to laying on the floor. My face was constantly pinched with pain. I asked around for another method and finally found Howard Cantor, Chiropractor. After x-rays, Dr. Cantor suggested three visits a week and at home wet towel heat treatments. Within three weeks I was out of severe pain. I was sitting up for long periods, and actually standing and walking again. Soon I was driving myself to Dr. Cantor's office (the car had previously been a torture chamber). This happened twelve years ago. Whenever my back goes out now, Dr. Cantor has me up again in one week. Chiropractic is the only way to go!

Many years and tears had gone by, suffering from severe headaches ... dizzy, no balance at times for as much as two weeks. Then one day my back gave out (or up). Suffering for one week and not being able to walk, I called (Mark & Howard). They worked 3-5 times a week to ease the pain. Now I went from migraines 6 days a week ... to the last time I had a full blown migraine is 2 years ago. My life would have no physical value, I would probably be in a wheelchair & neck brace if it had not been for the excellent care and conern by Howard & Mark & now Mike and the pleasant staff at Cantor Chiropractic ....

I woke up one morning and couldn't bend over to put on my socks & shoes. This wasn't the first time this has happened to me. In the past, I would go to my doctor, who in turn would have me go to therapy 3 times a week, until it got better, the back that is. I said to myself, "enough is enough," so I went to Cantor Chiropractic. By that night I was able to bend over, and move quite freely of pain. So I started going to the chiropractor once or twice a week. Since I've been going to the chiropractor, I've been relieved of back pain, I don't get colds or sick anymore. I used to get the flu at least once a year, but not since I started seeing the chiropractor. So in general going to the chiropractor is one of the smartest moves I've made in a long time. So I am very grateful to the Cantor Chiropractic Center, and I will continue to see the chiropractor until death do I part. Again I just want to say thanks to the people of the Cantor Chiropractic Center.

After 2 hospitalizations for "a back problem" and suggestions of surgery, I told my medical doctor that a friend has recommended her chiropractor and I was interested. He said he "thought we might go that way." And a nurse for the physical therapist treating me had said that she wished that nurses and doctors were trained in chiropractic (the treatment of hot-packs that I was getting was comforting, but wore off soon after I returned home). Not long afterward as I reached to close my car door, my back struck back. I knew my medical doctor was away and the the chiropractor I had recently contacted was near, so I drove with difficulty and great pain to Cantor Chiropractic Center. I bent my way into his office looking rather like a hair pin, I'm sure, and most likely complaining that death was near. In less time than it probably takes you to read this, I walked out the door, smiling and upright. Now I go regularly for health maintenance. I teach swimming & diving, hike and camp, all things I used to do and begun to give up as I was "too busy" working. And I eat more wisely. After a few years, x-rays show that the problem (osteoporosis) noted by my medical doctor has actually been reversed. Good chiropractic care keeps me fit, and when I go for a physical exam my medical doctor, looking at the results of the various tests says, "I can't believe you're over 55." I am 75.

Since 1981 I had suffered from regularly occurring headaches, neck, shoulder and chest pains. A trip to the doctor's office and quite a few tests revealed nothing wrong. The doctor felt my symptoms were due to everyday stresses. A co-worker recommended that I try chiropractic. I went and found some relief. At that time it was discovered that I had a condition known as "TMJ." A desntist suggested orthodontic correction to reduce or possibly eliminate my neck, shoulder and headache symptoms. I underwent orthodontic treatment and it did help my symptoms but it did not elimnate them. Then I heard about Doctor Cantor, his affordable fees and his theory of regular chiropractic adjustments. IN 1993 I visited Doctor Cantor's office and he put me on my own wellness schedule to correct subluzations that were in my neck and upper back. It took time but today I rarely ever suffer from headaches, neck, shoulder and chest pains. Chiropractic has become a regular part of my stay-well program. In fact I am convinced that chiropractic is part of a healthy lifestyle that my husband and children are also on a chiropractic wellness schedule.
