"I first found out about chiropractic from friends who were helped by chiropractic adjustments. I came to see Dr. Piccoli for lower back pain. During the consultation, I also told the doctor about my dizzy spells. I had been diagnosed as having Meniere's disease 34 years ago by my family doctor and also by an ear, nose and throat specialist. For the last 34 years, I have had six to eight week periods in which I could not end my head from side to side or forward without getting dizzy and falling over. During those times, I couldn't drive a car and had to stay in bed for days at a time until the dizziness passed. If I wanted to move about the house, I had to crawl from room to room. When the dizziness first came on, I would feel it in both ears. After lying down for a couple of days, it would move into just the right ear at which time I could move about as long as I didn't title my head. Usually it took about six to eight weeks to overcome this, then it would come back within a few months time. I have had an MRI, which was negative, and have been prescribed Phenegren, which was too strong for me to take. I have been taking Dramamine for the past 34 years, but that didn't help. I had a hopeless, horrible feeling from all this. After I was examined and x-rayed by Dr. Piccoli, he began to work with my neck as well as my lower back. Within one week, the dizziness had cleared, and I have been fine ever since. I am no longer taking any medications, and I see the doctor only for maintenance visits. I have recommended chiropractic care to friends. One friend had whiplash injury years ago, and the doctors don't know what is going on with her either. I hope she follows through with my recommendation to see chiropractic care."

"I had an industrial accident in 1977 and broke several ribs, my right collar bone, four bones in my left foot and had torn knee ligaments in my left knee. I lost numerous weeks of work due to debilitating pain in my lower back and right leg. The last period of disability was six months in duration. I was treated by one orthopedic surgeon, three neurosurgeons and one physical therapist - with no results. I had undergone two CAT scans, one MRI, a bone scan, X-rays and a myelogram. The collective results were: "Yes, we know something is there, but we don't know what it is." I only wish I had know of chiropractic prior to my 1981 lamenectomy and subsequent disability periods! After the second week of chiropractic treatment, my right leg pain was gone, and the low back pain was diminishing rapidly. I believe it was after just about three weeks of treatment that I was back to work."

"Chronic neck pain and migraines were an accepted part of my adult life. Medical doctors prescribed medication for pain and inflammation which did work temporarily but wreaked havoc with my stomach. A friend recommended chiropractic and since this pain was disrupting my quality of life for so many years, I called as a last resort. Once I became a patient and received regular adjustments my symptoms were alleviated. The actual cause of my problems, an unbalanced cervical spine causing a head tilt, were relieved through gentle cervical adjustments. The "cause" removed and symptoms disappeared! How great is that? Great enough to let me be free of severe neck pain and migraines."

"I had pains in my lower back, left shoulder pain in the left side of rib area. It is much better. I still have isolated issues but am feeling much better."

“I had headaches all the time. Definitely had an issue with my balance, walking as well as running. Now I have very few headaches through chiropractic adjustments. Also with maintaining my adjustments my balance is not an issue any longer.”
-Jeanne P., East Berlin
“Before coming into the office I had chronic neck pain that often lead to frequent headaches. The headaches would cause me to change my daily plans due to the pain. After receiving treatments my neck pain and headaches are less often and I can go about my daily plans without worrying about pain. My visits to the office are only as needed.”
-Danielle M., Southington
"I came here to maintain my upper and mid back pain through weekly adjustments. Dr. Piccoli has been great with keeping my back in good shape. I have had no major issues since I have started to come here for these weekly visits. I feel good now!"
-Jon L., Berlin
"I had been suffering with constant lower back pain and neck pain. The discomfort was impacting my daily life—exercise was difficult, work was a daily challenge. I couldn’t sit too long or stand too long. I took a chance on chiropractic care due to success reported by friends who had sought such care. My quality of life is much improved. I have greater mobility and relief. Although I need to manage my issues with regular adjustments my symptoms rarely, if ever, interfere with my daily life. I look forward to my adjustments."
-Suzanne T., Kensington
“Well, I had pain running down my left leg, weakness in the knee and ankle, and problems sitting. Now, I don’t have any weakness in the knee and ankle. My back is great but I have to watch what I do and what position I do it in. No problems sitting. Chiropractic care has kept me from getting surgery which was recommended.”
-Ed W., East Berlin
“Before coming in, I had trouble getting out of my chair or car seat. My first few steps were extremely painful. Now, I feel much better. I have no pain standing from a sitting position or walking.”
-Jeff C., East Hampton
“After my car accident, I began to experience back pain, neck pain and severe headaches which never occurred in the past. I wasn’t sleeping well, it was painful to get out bed in the morning, and I had an uncomfortable feeling all day. My sister recommended Dr. Piccoli to me. I immediately called the office and scheduled an appointment. After chiropractic treatment I am back to myself and better. I don’t have any neck pain, my headaches have disappeared, I am sleeping much better and I can jump out of bed in the morning without any pain! Thank you Dr. P!”

"My neck pain was so bad, I had to have surgery to relieve the pain of a pinched nerve. Now I come here and the pain is gone. When I have pain, I know who to call....I thank you for my well being. Now I live a good life."

"Pain and discomfort in neck and lower back which originated in my mid/lower back area brought me into the office. Treatment improves comfort and mobility."
-Jim G., Plainville
"I sustained a sciatic injury while shoveling. It caused severe pain to run up and down my right leg to the point that I could barely walk. Pain ensued while sitting and sleeping. The pain subsided after adjustments and I am fully healed without any side affects and able to fully return to a full exercise program."
-Dave C., Meriden
"I had low back pain. I could not stand up. The pain was very bad for my legs and hips as well. Now I am so much better. I can bend over with no trouble. I have no pain in my back or my legs. Even my hip feels better."

"I had sever neck pain. It was difficult to look up and move it from side to side. Now I only have to go in for maintenance. The neck pain is still a little stiff now and then, but nothing life before-Thank You!"
-Joe C., Kensington
"I was in pain everyday. I was experiencing pain in my neck as well as up and down my back. The pain was so bad that I also had headaches. This was all due to a car accident I was in where I was rear ended. Now, I do not have headaches anymore. My pain in my back and neck are no longer painful anymore. I believe with the chiropractic services I received, it had made a great improvement in the way I feel each day. I am now only seeing the doctor every 3 months. I have more energy! Thank you so much. I could not have done it without you."
-Laura K., Kensington
"I was constantly dealing with lower back, neck and shoulder pain. The gun belt that I wear as a police officer which weighs between 20-25 pounds, does eventually take its toll on your back. I would sometimes get a numbness down the back of my legs when i was driving. Now my back still bothers me but I'm more in tune when I need an adjustment. I've adjusted my posture when I drive and when I'm parked so that I'm doing what's best for my back. Since having adjustments I find that I have more energy and sleep better."
-Donna M., Kensington
"Before I would experience low back pain in the mornings which sometimes turned into all day long pain. I would lost sleep and experience headaches. Now I sleep much better, I don't have as frequent headaches, decreased amount of lower back pain and some weight loss."
