After suffering from TMJ for 40 years, I was beginning to think I was headed for surgery. Then, one day when I was in for a back adjustment, I asked Dr. Woods if he could help my TMJ problem. I have not had one headache since he has been adjusting my jaw. I also don't find myself waking up in the night with my teeth clenched. I can't tell you what a relief this is. Thank you, Dr. Woods!

Was in horrible neck pain, radiating down my arm. Thought I'd have to retire. It's been a couple years now and I have zero pain.

For years, my chronic migraines and daily shoulder and neck pain made each day a struggle. I had to limit my activity and commitments. And I was missing out on time with my kids. I had seen other chiropractors before, so when I started seeing Dr. Wood, I didn't expect him to be able to help either. After a four months of adjustments, I can confidently credit him for giving me my life back. My migraines are down to a manageable number per month.
And my body pain is gone. I can't believe how much better and easier life is now. I showed up for my appointments per his recommendation. Dr. Wood is personable and competent. He is great with my son as well. Highly recommend.
