I’m a 33-year-old female who has battled breast cancer twice. I have suffered pain from cancer treatment, radiation, and surgeries for the last eight years. It greatly affects my mobility in my right arm and ribs. I had horrible posture from the constant tightness and pain, which over the years had led to pain in other places in my body. In a means to help, my Oncologist recommended I try prescription medications, lymphadema treatments, acupuncture, and massage. None of these treatments improved my condition and I thought this was just how I was going to have to live.
Then I met Dr. Del Pape; he immediately knew that something was not right. After only one adjustment and a session of myo-fascial release, I felt results! I was amazed that I saw improvements from only one treatment with him, when I had gone through years of treatments with other doctors. I had almost full range of motion in my right arm and the greatest thing is that I was able to breathe! For years, my ribs have felt locked into place, and expanding my chest was very difficult, but now with his treatments, I am able to exercise more and improve my quality of sleep. Dr. Del Pape is very professional — he explains what he is doing and the effect that it will have. I would tell everyone now that they don’t have to live with pain. There is hope through chiropractors like Dr. Del Pape.

I first came into the office to address a pain that I had in my left shoulder area that began radiating down to my left arm. I had the pain roughly two weeks before deciding to see a chiropractor. The pain began reducing my ability to use my left arm for lifting and other work duties, and I needed to heal my shoulder and arm to get back to a normal life. I had very little knowledge of chiropractic care; I only understood that it has helped some people greatly. The office overall impressed me as everyone was professional and everyone was welcoming. Well, it goes beyond to heal my shoulder and arm. The pain in my arm and shoulder began to subside almost immediately. I felt no pain after three weeks and with the Wellness Program, I find continuous improvements in daily energy levels and overall health. In an effort to fix a really small problem, I have learned so much about my general health and I’m now in the process of improving it. I think chiropractic care truly helps the body heal. It gives you the opportunity to assess and address your health.

I was very active. I felt healthy most of the time, until I suffered a back problem that caused sciatica and numbness in my left leg. The pain was irritating and depressing. Over the course of care, the symptoms have eased on a weekly basis. After about 3-4 weeks, the symptoms decreased. Don’t Wait!

I was a Weight Watcher member motivated by the numbers on the scale. I was frustrated because of lack of results. Frequently tired, my back ached from work and I was lacking the motivation to exercise. I didn’t feel like exercising and I was not a fun person to be around, especially for my family! I wanted to be taught and educated on the right choices for me — personally. Dr. Del Pape is very knowledgeable and professional. He made a point of getting to know me and understanding my needs and concerns. During the first few weeks I was not getting the results I was expecting, but they were good results nonetheless. I realized I must invest in my personal well-being and good health. More vitality will get me further in my job and personal relationships. I started as a skeptic, but through this healthy process I have become a believer in taking charge of your life and health. Through this process, I am in control of my well being. If I can do it, anyone can!

It all started in May 2009 when I fell out of my son’s parked truck. I went to Kaiser twice and received Prednisone to be taken orally. It helped temporarily, but the pain and discomfort would re-occur.
I was told about True Life Chiropractic and called to make an appointment. After an evaluation, Dr. Trevor placed me on a treatment plan. After the first adjustment, I noticed immediate relief from the pain and discomfort. I also realized that I had more mobility in my neck. Now that I have completed my treatments, I have found that I can once again enjoy running and that daily physical activities are completed with very little discomfort and more mobility.

I was experiencing neck, back, shoulder and hip pain. I didn’t sleep well due the pain. I have been diagnosed with GERD and medication was not handling the heartburn very well. Dr. Del Pape offered to give me an examination which my husband volunteered me to take. I was mainly relying on the medical field to treat my condition using medication. The medication was not entirely successful. Prior chiropractic experiences had left an unfavorable experience. I had almost decided to accept my pain as my life.
I have been amazed at how quickly I have been feeling. I can sit at work, stand and walk, sleep and exercise with diminished discomfort that is getting progressively better with each treatment. I started feeling better and functioning better after the second visit. After each visit, I feel and see improvement. I am pleased.
This is one of the reasons I started chiropractic care. I wanted to regain the health and vitality I enjoyed. I have been researching how to feel better and have had my research confirmed. I would recommend chiropractic because I feel so much better and how are you going to know how good you can feel until you try chiropractic care. I appreciate the attention Dr. Del Pape gives in just listening mostly. He gives valuable feedback. I appreciate the information I receive. You will never know if you can feel better or if you can function better if you don’t try something new. Try it!
