5.0 out of 5 stars The Straight Scoop., April 12, 2005

By	evenfall007 "evenfall007" (Rancho Cordova, CA) - See all my reviews

In Early 1988 I was rear ended by a Semi Truck. I walked away. By that evening I was in a neck brace and stayed in it 2 weeks.

I went to the Medical Docs and they X-rayed, they did this and that, they said soft tissue injury to me a hundred times, but acted like they were looking into a glass darkly. They said lets try this and that too, and so we tried some of their favorite therapies and sent me to a Physical therapist too. They really had no clue and it showed.

At the PT I was doing as I was told, But It still hurt and it was not getting easier... My left arm had lost strength and dexterity despite all the treatment, Worse yet, the PT was not making things better in the real life I was accustomed to living, and I know my story is a lot like other peoples.

Dr. Lenarz became my Chiropractor. He told me that he felt I could be helped and that I would not have to become a slave to a medical procedure forever. He was very adamant about being Thorough and Accurate. He asked me to try his approach to becoming healthy and so I did. He was right. I got my arm's strength and dexterity back, I don't have problems with pain as I did, and I am not a slave to a medical procedure. No Pills. My Spine was helped back to health and I was too, It all works together.

I am not saying I am free of Chiropractors, I may need to check in with them a few times a year but we all go to dentists regularly too don't we? It is all part of staying Healthy.

My only regret in this story is that I moved away from where Dr. Lenarz has his Practice, and didn't persuade him to come along. He is a good, caring Doctor, and one of the straightest shooters you'll meet in any profession. 17 years later, thinking back, in my life he still is. You won't go wrong with his book.

Buy His Book, Listen to what he has to say. Take what ever action you like. He won't disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars What to expect from a chiropractic visit, March 9, 2006

By	Skye O'Malley - See all my reviews

This book was very well written and was a great learning tool. I think everyone who is seeking chiropractic care should read this book first in order to gain an understanding of chiropractics and to understand the process of chiropratic care.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Lenarz puts in simple terms, December 12, 2004

By	Em "A reader who puts it in practice everyday" (Colorado, USA) - See all my reviews

Dr. Lenarz cuts through all the bull and gets to the point of chiropractic. He puts it in terms that anyone can understand and doesn't waste words on the chiropractic system of staying healthy.
