My name is Sherri Garcia and I am the mother of three wonderful boys who have all had various health problems though-out their lives. These are the stones of how chiropractic has changed their lives.


Jeremy is a bright and active child who was diagnosed in second grade with Attention Deficit Disorder. He began having trouble keeping up with his schoolwork because he was having trouble staying focused during the school day. In third grade we put Jeremy on Ritalin. He stayed on the Ritalin all during third grade and the beginning of fourth grade. Jeremy hated taking the medicine, especially at school. We spoke with our pediatrician who recommended changing Jeremy’s medication to Adrenal, a medication he would only have to take once a day. But Jeremy had continued to slide again. His grades worsened and his self esteem plummeted. At the end of is fourth grade year we had to retain Jeremy because he was not ready for the fifth grade. His second year of fourth grade started out much like the first, on medication and not happy with it or himself. It was then we met Dr. Chris and Dr. Beth Ehlich. Dr. Chris told us about a problem called subluxation that could actually be contributing to Jeremy’s ADD. Jeremy began adjustments immediately.

After some time we began to notice some improvements in Jeremy’s schoolwork. It was then we decided to take him off the medication, he still improved. Jeremy’s fourth grade year was one of his best ever. He was more focused and went into fifth grade ready to take on anything.

Jeremy is now in middle school. His goals this year is to make the A-B honor role and to have perfect attendance. Two things he never would have thought possible two years ago. He still has to be “brought back to earth” every once in a while, but we are able to control the ADD without medication, without side effects and he loves to get adjusted!

Christopher and Kieran Christopher and Kieran are my other two boys, and their stories are very much alike.
Christopher had pneumonia when he was two and from then on we battled with asthma. Christopher went through rounds of predispose and breathing treatments. After a few years he seemed to “out grow” it. But in 1997 we noticed him having trouble getting through his karate classes. We had him tested, and found out he had exercise induced asthma. The Doctor prescribed an inhaler that Christopher had to use before any physical activity. And the Doctor told us Christopher would never outgrow this type of asthma. The inhalers would be something he used for his whole
life. Then we met Dr. Chris and Dr. Beth. Christopher was found to have a subluxation that affected the nerves leading right to his lungs! Christopher began his adjustments and just a few months later went through his two hour black-belt test with no inhaler. We haven’t bought an inhaler in two years!

Kieran began to have problems at a very early age. His first ear infection was at six weeks of age. He was diagnosed with asthma at three months, had tubes put in his ears at five months and was on daily breathing treatments to control his asthma. At least once a month he would go through a round of prednisone for serious breathing problems. When he was one year old Kieran developed RSV, a childhood respiratory virus, he was having so much trouble breathing we could see his ribs. We rushed him to the specialist, who told us Kieran was getting air so there was not really anything he could do for him, but to bring him to the hospital before he turned blue! Those were his instructions!

Thank goodness we found Dr. Chris and Dr. Beth! Kieran had subluxations that were affecting his sinuses, his ears and his lungs. Kieran too has been drug-free for two years and is healthier than we ever dared to hope.

Chiropractic has been a life changing experience for my family. If we knew about the benefits it would give our children they would have been adjusted the day they were born! Even more importantly, the boys understand what it has done for them, they actually tell their friends to go to the chiropractor!

Hi I’m James Paris

I was in a automobile accident on April 6, 2001 was about 4 p.m. that evening. I was rushed to the hospital due to severe back and neck pain. Naturally I was given pain medicine and muscle relaxers to ease the pain was I having, and was told to follow up with my family doctor if the pain persist or got any worse. So that’s what I did. I went through severe pain in back neck chest for about 3 weeks. My doctor had given me more pain killers and muscle relaxers but they weren’t doing the job I was still in a lot of pain specially in lower back and lower left rib cage. So my family doctor sent me to physical therapy now while in therapy they made me do these exercise’s that really aggravated the troubled areas of my body. They tried ultrasound heat in lower back for awhile when they applied the heat I couldn’t hardly move let alone walk back to my automobile. This went on for a couple months I kept telling my family doctor that I didn’t think the therapy thing was doing me any good I still felt just as bad then as I did the first day of the accident. I finally was talking to a friend of mine about it one day and he suggested that I go see Dr. Chris Ehlich his exact words to me were if Dr. Ehlich can’t straighten you out nobody can that he was really the best at what he does. Well at first I’ll be honest I thought my friend was full of bologna. But he said if I would try it I would be amazed. So I’m here to tell you now that I was really amazed at what Dr. Chris did For me that very first day I met him and he continually amazes me with the treatments I receive. He took some x-rays and told me exactly where the problem areas were in my back and how long it would take to correct them. Some were due to the auto accident and some were old injuries but in my case he didn’t work on just the new areas he also worked on the old ones too. After he found all the subluxations in my spine he went to work to adjust them back to the correct position they suppose to be in. And I’m here to tell you living proof if I might add that after the first adjustment I felt like a new person, I could actually walk without the pain in my lower back. after four adjustments I could feel that I had more energy running through my tired aching body that is being rejuvenated by his treatments. I actually feel that I can do a lot more than I could before I don’t tire as easy as I did. I also learned a lot from Dr. Chris he is not just a doctor, he is a team mate he will team up with you to help you have a healthier body and that takes team effort and team work. I know you here chiropractors are cooks or quacks and all sorts of other things but none of that describes Dr. Chris or his staff. Dr. Chris and Beth Ehlich and all his staff are the most caring people that I have ever met and are willing to do what ever it takes to get your body in the best health that it can possibly be in. They will also teach you everything about the importance of your spine and your health. and how important it is to have a healthy spine. Dr. Chris has helped me and many others I know he can help you too. So why suffer or be in bad health when you could have a more healthier enjoyable life. After All A healthy Spine Equals A Healthy Body Which Leads To More Healthier Life Full Of Energy. EHLICH FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC ARE PEOPLE WHO REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH

Before I came to Dr. Chris Ehlich I was in a hopeless situation. I was diagnosed with Fibremyalgia which is a chronic pain and fatigue syndrome with no cure. It took doctors three years of testing to come up with this diagnosis which was very devastating because I knew there was nothing they could do. I then tried several treatments for the pain including medications, steroid injections, physical therapy, and even surgery on two of my joints. The pain was still unbearable and I was getting more and more discouraged and began to think that I could never live a normal life. I have not been able to work a full time job for several years because my pain is so unmanageable and can last for weeks at a time. The most discouraging part of my illness was that I have two children and a husband who really need me and I can not take care of them like I should. I spent most of my time In bed. Although I was on two antidepressants I really struggled with depression. I could not understand why God would allow me to be plagued with so much pain. At the time I heard about Dr. Ehlich I was working two days a week as a receptionist. A friend of mine at work noticed that I was hurting all the time and missed a lot of work because of my pain. She told me that I should go see her chiropractor. I was very skeptical because I did not understand chiropractic at all. It took me several weeks of encouraging before I finally decided to give It a try. After all, what did I have to loose. It wasn’t like I could be any worse. That was the best decision I have ever made. My life will never be the same. After my first seminar I was convinced that this was the solution to my illness. I stopped taking all the medications that were supposed to be helping my Fibremyalgia because I realized that they were part of my problem. (I was two antidepressants, a muscle relaxant, an arthritic medicine, and a narcotic as needed which I took once or twice a week.) The thing that really convinced me was Dr. Ehlich’s focus on you doing your part by taking the best possible care of your body and then letting God do the rest. I was praying that God would heal my body but I was not taking care of myself the way I should. Mostly because I didn’t know how. No one had ever taken the time to explain how to take care of myself with good nutrition and DRINKING WATER. I had no Idea how important that was. It seems silly now, but If everyone knew how important good nutrition is there would not be a McDonald’s on every street corner. It’s obvious that I am not the only one who was in the dark about that. For the first time in my life I really believe that someday I will be healthy again. I know that with God’s help and Dr. Ehlich’s adjustments and education on how to take care of my body I will be able to live my life to it’s fullest. I have been seeing Dr. Chris for five months and have already begun to improve tremendously. I still have some really bad days but Dr. Chris helps me through them and encourages me not to give up. (I never had a doctor with so much compassion.) My doctors before would just load me up on narcotics rather than taking the time to pray with me and talk to me about how to make it through. Maybe they thought that they were being compassionate but that was not helping me.. . It was actually making me worse. Thank you Dr. Chris and Dr. Beth for giving me hope and turning my focus to the “Great Physician,” my heavenly father. Thank you so much for giving your life to God’s service and helping each of us learn how to take care of our bodies the way God intended for us to. Thank you also for your focus on getting your children checked. My daughter is 15 now and she was headed in the same direction that I was. She has seen much improvement since she has been seeing Dr. Chris. I am so glad that we learned about chiropractic while our children were young so that they can learn to live a healthy lifestyle before they have damaged their bodies beyond repair. We have always taught our children not to smoke, drink or take drugs, but we have learned that that is not enough. The culture that we five in today focuses too much on what feels good rather than what is good. Thanks to Dr. Chris and Dr. Beth we can teach our children the truth about good health and how to take care of what God has given you.

Sincerely, Laura Davenport
