Let’s see: I began my adventure in chiropractic care with Dr. Dustan Mattingly and his group of personable assistants in January of 2009. What a sad sight I was – having trouble walking; totally out of alignment; overweight by 100 lbs.; unhealthy complexion; digestion problems; etc.

It is now April of 2009 and already experiencing a major change in my life.
Dr. Mattingly put me on the Standard Process diet; began adjusting my neck, back, and legs, and head (a frontal lobotomy is no longer needed!). Then, at the doctor’s urging, my life took another positive change with the start of exercising with CURVES. Already, I’m noticing a loss of weight, firming of muscles (yes, head muscles, too). Posture has greatly improved; my outlook on life has been enhanced; and the pain in my lower back, knees, feet, shoulders, stomach, etc., has diminished. My sense of humor has returned, but my need to return to selling real estate full-time has not! Just a matter of time until the stress has passed to a place of control in my life. And, Dr. Mattingly will be there for me when I need adjustments, etc.

Younger? Yes, I do feel that as well. It is so much fun to be on the right track with the right doctor and his team. My health and well-being has greatly improved. Thank you, Dr. Mattingly, and Ryan (the Pressure Point Man), Abby (receptionist with a great personality), Emily (the marketer), and Jessica (hard-working office person). It was a wonderful day when I answered their ad in Kijiji.

Now, it is a “waiting game” until Dr. Mattingly receives his license to acupuncture with his supply of needles. This treatment greatly improves my headaches, appetite control, and digestion. This will help, too, with my sinus problems.

Dr. Mattingly, to me, is a miracle worker who cares about his patient’s health and will go to any and all methods to help. He has a wonderful personality, too, which gives his patient’s the trust and faith in him. He is really the first doctor who has helped me with my diet and weight loss. After five operations in 2008, my body was in need of his expertise.

My adventure is not yet complete with Dr. Mattingly and his staff. However, I trust him and all with my well-being. You can talk to the doctor about whatever is happening in your life, too. This affects your body as well as your mind.

Dr. Mattingly, my chiropractic “magician”, and my trusty friend!!! Thank you.

Dr. Mattingly may be considered a MIRACLE WORKER! I came to Dr. Dusty three years ago with pain in my neck, shoulders and lower back. I was unable to turn my head and look behind me to back out of a parking space. It was dangerous! Through the maneuvers, pressure points, and aligning my body, I was brought through the first symptoms, but also with a TMJ problem that I was unable to close my mouth. I had gone through therapy, but it was only with the assistance of Dr. Dusty that I was able to close my mouth and eat properly. Then, another problem arose. I had a sciatic nerve that left me limping and, in addition, I had PLANTAR FASCITIS in my left foot that left me unable to walk. I love “Line Dancing” and walking for exercise and during this time I had to completely stop.
A very sad condition! Now, I am free of pain, I am able to turn my head and look both ways while driving, and above all – I AM DANCING AGAIN! “Miracle of Miracles”! I am so thankful to Dr. Dusty and to Ryan for all the help they have given me. I really consider Dr. Dusty—A MIRACLE WORKER! Thanks, and God bless. – M.K.

About 3 years ago, I had pain in my feet. I am a waitress and spend lots of time on my feet, so it was a real bother to always feel pain. I started coming to Dusty 3 times a week, and within a few months, the pain was gone. But, I noticed other areas that were feeling better. I just generally felt more refreshed and could work long hours with not feeling exhausted or “achey”. Now I continue to come to Dusty once a month, and feel great! I definitely feel the difference all the time. My health is important to me, so I will continue to see Dusty regularly. – M.K.

Before seeing Dusty my neck and back were in terrible shape (phase 3) from lifting and heavy activity! I visited Dusty 3 times a week for the 1st year and incredible improvement was noted! I slept better, had less neck and headaches, and had better flexibility. Also, the Cataplex-B product has given me extra energy during the day, and the Calm Plus Calcium has helped me sleep and relax. Dusty and his staff are very personal and caring people, and I have no idea what I would have done w/out them! Finally, Dusty donated quite a bit of chairs, tables, wood and a refrigerator for our church. Thanks so much for changing my life towards the better, Dusty and staff! – K.H.

I love Dusty. He’s the best! I tend to get a pain in my neck that is a problem for me. I feel that Dusty always cares and does the right thing to make the pain lessen or go away completely. I trust him with my body. Thank you for your understanding and competence, Dusty! – A.H.

I worked at a glass factory for 40 years and stood on cement floors. For 35 years I have had pain in my feet, especially the right foot. I had seen other doctors over the years and tried several remedies for the pain, including orthotics for my shoes, but nothing ever helped much. Walking for two or three blocks was difficult and painful!

I filled out a survey that Dr. Mattingly was conducting for Pressure Point Therapy. I began treatment, which has included Pressure Point Therapy, electric muscle stimulation and chiropractic adjustments, and I have had the best results. I now can enjoy walking and I am looking forward to doing some traveling. I started seeing Dr. Mattingly three times a week at first and then less frequently as I began to improve. Now I am on a maintenance program and see him just once a month, or whenever I feel a need to see him more often.

After seeing the success that I has having with treatment, my husband also decided to start chiropractic care for his neck, shoulders and lower back. We have both been pleased with the good results that we have experienced.

I came to see Dr. Mattingly with pain and numbness due to a work related injury which caused pain in my shoulder and numbness starting from my ring and pinky fingers running all the way up through my arm, shoulder, and neck. I suffered for one month before coming to Dr. Mattingly. I had seen my general practitioner and had a nerve test done. They wanted to perform surgery to remove this pinched nerve. I was taking muscle relaxers; I took one kind for six days and another kind for one month. I was also taking an abundance of Tylenol, switching to Tylenol-3 and eventually Ibuprofen. The pain was so bad that I’d work my scheduled eight hour shift and then come home and lay down on the couch and the kids would do my household chores for me. I would sleep and cry a lot. It hurt just to sit. I had to give up my hobbies that I enjoyed doing like bowling, crocheting and needlepoint.

After just three weeks of adjustments and ultra-sound, the numbness went out of my ring finger and arm. The pain had lessened so much that I quit taking the muscle relaxers and was taking less Tylenol and Ibuprofen. After six weeks of adjustments on my wrist and elbow, my wrist became more flexible. Within one month of adjustments on my neck I had more range of motion. When the pain had lessened I became a happier person, easier to get along with, and could do my daily activities and hobbies. I believe one hundred percent in chiropractic care, because it helped me feel better, function better at work and I didn’t have to have surgery! I even referred my daughter to Dr. Mattingly after she was involved in a car accident. I’d recommend chiropractic care for everyone.

I was listening to the radio one day and someone was on there talking about pressure point therapy and its benefits. I was driving along in my car and at the time I was in severe pain and thought, "Boy, I sure would like to try that pressure point therapy." As I said that to myself the announcer said, "If you'd like to try it out, see Dr. Dustan Mattingly for a free pressure point therapy session." Then he gave the number and I wrote it down and called the next day on Monday.

I tell you the truth when I say that since the day I made that appointment and came to see the doctor, my life has not been the same. Before I came in I was a 40ish wife and mom, feeling like I was going on 80 with all the pain I was having. But now I feel better that I took the first step to get help. Now I feel 20 again. I'm practically pain-free and loving life and all it has to offer once again. Thank you, Dr. Mattingly, for giving me my life back.

B.S.

When I began treatment with Dr. Mattingly, I had severe pain in my arm. I had heard Dr. Mattingly’s radio advertisement and decided to call for an appointment. He used Pressure Point Therapy and other therapies (ultrasound and electric muscle stimulation) to help heal the nerves and muscles in my arm. Now my arm works as good as ever.
