"I first came to see Dr. Marc with sudden severe pain in the cervical area. I had extreme difficulty turning my head side to side and up and down. I had overall difficulty with upper body movements and general discomfort. I am very pleased with the care that I had received. Every time I come in for treatments I am greeted by smiling faces and I am promptly taken care of. The treatments, which there are a variety of, are very effective. Although this has occurred before, I have never had such a quick resolution. On the first visit my pain was drastically reduced. I now have complete freedom of movements and no limitation on any of my activities. After receiving care at Mercado Chiropractic I am much more comfortable physically. I dont hesitate to do anything. I am much happier pain free. Thank you Dr. Marc and staff,"

"I had a lot of pain in my neck and upper body. That pain has dramatically decreased, and is almost all gone. If it were not for the nature of my job the pain would be gone completely. I had a lot of chronic pain in my upper middle back and now I have none. I am so pleased to be able to live pain free. When I do injure myself I know I can get better within the couple of visits. One of the things that I like most about coming to Dr. Marc’s office is that each experience is always personalized. I especially like the adjustment and massage."

"Hmmm…as I ponder the question of how chiropractic care has affected me, I think about how I have felt and lived my life as little as six months ago. I am a divorced mom of two incredibly active teenagers who has had a horrible health history that includes, but is not limited to, lupus, obesity, high blood pressure, tumors, kidney blockages, gall bladder attacks, severe back and neck injuries, along with multiple surgeries. After picking up a coffee at Starbucks, I noticed the sign on Mercado Chiropractic’s door that proclaimed a massage therapist. Being in constant pain, I found that sometimes a good massage gave me some relief, so I walked into the office and met Cindy. “Of course you can schedule a massage,” she warmly smiled at me, “but let Dr. Marc take a look at you too. I promise it will be worth your while.” Since she was so nice, and gave me a coupon for the initial consultation, I decided that though I had long felt the chiropractic health care was out there with UFO’s and New Age crystals, I would go through the consultation just to see what Dr. Marc had to say. After all, I had been to many, many doctors, even Mayo’s, and was taking all the medications and pain treatments they had prescribed. I felt that the medical community had treated me with great care and that, as poorly as I currently felt, and as expensive as all the medications were, that this was the best I would ever feel and move. I might as well try it; what did I have to lose? Dr. Marc took X-rays, and had me fill out forms and questionnaires, then handed me over to Cindy, who placed me on this vibrating rolling warming table. Next Torrence, with his miraculous fingers, worked over my soft tissue. Then Dr. Marc adjusted me, gently, because my entire body was one big mass of inflamed sinew and bones. The next day I could barely move. I was so sore, but I was, for some strange reason, full of energy. I decided to go back because Dr. Marc, Cindy, and Torrence had been so nice to me – and because, though I still hurt, I had been able to get out of bed a little easier. So I showed up for my next appointment. Everyone was glad to see me and that made me feel welcome. I went through the rolling table (I want one of my own), the massage with the magic fingers, and pop/crunch sounds of adjustment. I felt cared for and helped. Dr. Marc explained that I may hurt more in the beginning, especially in the muscles, but if I kept up my treatment, he promised, things would get better. OK, I thought, “No pain, No gain,” I was there because I was hurting already, and just the little treatment I already had was giving me more energy. Then Dr. Marc suggested that I do a liver cleanse due to all the drugs that I had been taking for my lupus, asthma, arthritis, etc. (The drugs were chemotherapy drugs like Methotrexate, Immuron, Plaquinil, etc. I also took lots of Oxycontin, Oxycondone, and Naproxen to handle all my pain, as well as asthma medicines such as Predisone, and Arbuteral.) OK, I thought, again, I’ll follow his suggestions; after all “the cleanse” is cheaper than most of my prescriptions and my digestive system was always hurting from all the medicines. Maybe, just maybe, all this adjusting, this cleansing, and these supplements would help. They certainly hadn’t so far and I was already feeling some relief. Let me explain just how I was doing… I was feeling like life was not worth living anymore…really. I was always exhausted, I always hurt- a lot - and I felt that I couldn’t even be a good parent; which I felt, was my most important job. I had gotten to the point that I began to feel that my best gift to my children, and the planet, was my removal from it. No one would miss me but my pharmacist, and he had just retired. Because I am a woman of my word, I continued the rest of the week, and then the rest of the month, to keep my chiropractic appointments. Dr. Marc, Cindy, and Torry noticed my depression and recommend that I seek treatment. I did, but I also continued my regular chiropractic care. For a while, especially after a longer massage, I got sorer, but I noticed that I had more energy and less deep pain, so I kept going. The sense of welcome and happiness simply to see me lifted my spirits enough to notice that not only my body, but my mind was feeling better. I mean really better. By the end of a mere 2-3 months of going to Mercado Chiropractic, I have basically been healed. OK, I know it sounds like a white tent cure, but it is true. I have gone from spending over $700.00 per month on medications to spending $105.00. I can get out of bed, shower, dress, and hit Starbucks in less than hour. Yes, there are still days that the lupus or the asthma still acts up. But those days are getting fewer and fewer. I also just happened to notice that I haven’t even had to fill any pain prescriptions for the month of May at all. Hmmm, going to the chiropractor, feeling worthwhile, lots less daily pain, oh, and getting to regularly be with people (Dr. Marc, Cindy, and Torrence) who actually care about me… that’s a no brainer. Chiropractic care from Mercado Chiropractic not only made me feel younger and more alive, it has probably actually prolonged my life. The quality of my life has been remarkably enhanced by reduction of medications that my organs have to process and by allowing my body to heal itself because it is aligned the way it was meant to be. As someone who has experienced lots of ongoing treatment from highly rated doctors and medicines, I think the best thing that ever happened to status of my health was that I walked into Mercado Chiropractic."
