Read what patients are saying:

I am sincerely thankful for the knowledge and expertise of everyone at Lake Orion Chiropractic. I was suffering from terribly debilitating sciatica. Since my treatments with Dr. Iulianelli, my condition has improved tremendously and I would recommend this to anyone who is searching for relief from pain without resorting to surgery. Thank You!
Will M.

I have found the professionals at Lake Orion Chiropractic caring, compassionate, and friendly. I was skeptical that any treatment would help my neuropathy in my feet The results are short of astounding. Thank You.
Alan B.

I am so thankful for the ability to be able to move again. I did not want to end up like my mom who was chair bound in a lazy boy chair day and night for 27 years. This gives me new hope to continue on life’s journey. Took a trip to see out 10 grandchildren was able to carry my computer bag, heavy purse and c-pap machine through the airports and maneuver them in the airplane luggage compartments. I was in so much pain before. They say pain from 1 to 10 this was a 20. Now I am back to normal. Thank God and Dr. Iulianelli and his staff. I miss seeing them on a regular basis. Great team of warm hearted people.

I have had a history of neck problems due to a severe automobile accident. I suffered from much pain, immobility and restricted movement and inability to get a full nights sleep. Due to the pain, I became depressed, I had low energy the pain dominated my life.

After just a few treatments my pain level decreased, allowing me to get better nights of sleep, and all without the use of any medication!! My life has become so much better, I feel like dancing with my husband again, without the worry of being in pain!!! The entire treatment was a miracle for me!! I feel hopeful for my future without pain in my life.
-Barbara

Before treatment I suffered from numerous pain problems: headaches, fibromyalgia, back pain and leg pain and sleep apnea. I just could not function. My whole life was consumed with pain. Now I have seen much improvement! I can move better with little to no pain. I can move my head left to right every time without getting dizzy or feeling faint. That in itself is an amazing accomplishment. I am able to drive a car confidently again. I would recommend this treatment to anyone. It has helped me to look forward and not be stuck on the pain!
-Ana

I have had over 35 years of constant back pain, mostly due to my occupation. Several times the pain was so excruciating, I would be laid up on my back for days. Unable to do daily normal activities, never mind attempting to work. It was a constant battle I was afraid to do anything that would put strain on my back. As I got older it really slowed me down. When my first grandchild came, it hurt me every time I picked her up. I KNEW I HAD TO DO SOMETHING!

The pain is gone! I am still very aware of what I can and can’t do, but my outlook on life has changed so much. I feel like a weight I’ve been carrying for so many years has been lifted. I am enjoying things now I thought I could never do again. Any depressing feelings I had in the past are gone, I even started drawing again. I am so happy that I took the chance to try this treatment, and it has restarted my life again.
-Thomas

I suffered from severe neuropathy and my feet felt like they were burning up and someone was sticking pins into my feet. I couldn’t walk too far wearing my shoes. This took my ability to walk around town, and Golf. After the treatment I can now wear shoes for longer periods of time. The burning sensation is almost completely gone. I am enjoying life more with the reduced amount of pain. As a result to the treatment I feel better all over my body. I am confident I will feel even better once the treatment is complete.
-Roy

Prior to the treatment I had numbness in my feet and hands along with back pains and neck pains, muscle pains in my arms, headaches and ear pains. Now after treatment I feel stronger with no numbness in my feet or hands. Overall I feel my life has become much, much better.
-Ethel

From my legs down to my feel were so numb. I had a terrible time trying to walk. A lot of the time the numbness in my legs would cause me to fall. I have had only 3 treatments and already I can feel the sensation in my legs again. I can also say that I am more confident when I walk and less afraid that I am not going to fall. Even thought I have had only 3 treatments I would recommend this treatment to anyone who has had the same problems I had in the past.
-Ruth

My husband saw the ad in the paper and I thought I should try it. I have had lower back pain for as long as I can remember, from a childhood accident. The lower back pain caused me to develop aches and pains all over my body. In order to deal with the pain in the past, I was using over the counter pain medications. Since starting the treatment I have not had to take one pill. The aching in the shoulders, back, etc. has eased so much I can hardly believe it. My life has become so much better. I feel positive waking up in the morning with out pain I had lived with for so many years before.
-Shirley

I read the article in the newspaper about the neuropathy treatment. I thought that I would give it a try to attempt to reduce the numbness in my legs and feet. It was very difficult for me to walk or stand for long periods of time. After just a few treatments now I can see that the treatment overall is showing positive improvement in my legs and allowing me to be able to continue with my life!
-Hazel

I wanted to try this treatment because of the extreme back pain and spasm I was experiencing. It limited everything I did in my life. There was always a constant fear of the pain coming when I was just trying to live life. When the pain was there is was unbearable. Now after treatment there is very little pain and I am doing 90% of normal life’s activities. I have and will continue to recommend this treatment to anyone who experience these pains.
-Rowna

I saw the treatment ad in the newspaper and nothing I had tried in the past 5 years had given me any relief from my symptoms which included being unsteady on my feet, double vision and inability to focus. I was addicted to Lyrica and experiencing many side affects from the medication. Since beginning this treatment I am no longer taking Lyrica, I am more steady on my feet and having less problems with my vision and I am generally more aware of what is going on around me.
-Clyde

I have peripheral neuropathy and a lack of balance and difficulty getting up from a sitting position. The treatments have given me feeling back in my feet and my balance has much improved. Along with these improvements and life in general has much improved.
-Gerald

My entire experience has been extremely positive, the atmosphere is excellent, as is the staff!

My experience was very positive and I look forward to my visits and always leave feeling great. I feel that Dr. Hayes’ philosophy is to make me free of pain and it is working! The staff is welcoming, positive, total top notch!

Metabolic Syndrome-The Undiagnosed potential killer…this story is all too frequent:

Hi Folks! I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you my story. I am 53 yrs old and 15 years ago I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome & fibromyalgia. My quality of life hasn’t been the greatest throughout those years. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and essential tremors in my hands and legs. I 1st saw Dr Hayes about 10 years ago for chiropractic care and again 3years ago for physical therapy because I was in so much pain I could hardly move. He & his staff helped me tremendously! At that time, Dr Hayes recommended I would benefit from taking Magnesium supplements which I did take until I saw my primary care doctor again when I was done with PT. She said “you don’t need to take those”, so I stopped taking them and of course continued with the many meds that were prescribed to me but never did I feel I was getting better. If I was lucky I had 1 good day a week, truthfully!Show More

“I have had very good results. My hands had bad arthritis, they have improved. I was walking with a rolo-walker or a cane. I no longer use them. I walk 1-2 miles a day. I will be 89 years old December 7th, 2009. My life has greatly improved.”
-Ms. Clemence Locke

I have been suffering from chronic back pain since 2003. I have been told my many specialists and therapists that the long hours I spend on a computer often trigger these kinds of issues. To make matters worse I was involved in a car accident in 2004. My life since then has been filled with pain and depression. I’m a single mother so giving up and going on disability was out of the question. The combination of wanting to give my son a better upbringing than I had as well as wanting to show him the value of hard work kept me going. But as the years went on it became harder and harder to keep up. Eventually my neck would lock up and my back would be in such pain that I couldn’t get out of bed. I went to physical therapy twice. It helped get me back on my feet, but sadly only provided temporary relief. Show More

“When I arrived at Dr Hayes office for my first visit I was very apprehensive. I had been to other doctors and they were unable to help me. After a week of difficult adjustments I felt much better.”
-Beverly Lewis

“Dr Hayes is a wonderful, gentle man. There have been many times when my pain was so severe and no one could help me except Dr. Hayes.”
-Jessica Spurr

“I have always been a little hesitant to go to a chiropractor and I wouldn’t go to just any chiropractor but Dr. Hayes is just wonderful! It is such a relief to not have back pain. He is an expert at what he does.”
-Donna Sweeney

“Dr. Hayes is extremely knowledgeable. He offers not just a chiropractic experience, but a whole mind and body experience.”
-Ruth Maulucci

Spinal Decompression Patient Testimonials

My Success with Spinal Decompression

Dr. Frank Iulianelli and Wonderful staff,

When I first walked into your office I knew I had to do something. I couldn’t live like this. I was in incredible pain with fatigue, crying spells, and a sinking feeling of despair.

I quite frankly didn’t know what else to do. I had tried exercise, physical therapy, pills, massage, stretching, ice, heat, lying in different postures and positions – nothing relieved the pain. I was tired of being tortured with pain.Show More

My success story with Spinal Decompression!

I really don’t know where to start because I’m so excited about not going for surgery. I was scheduled for surgery March 4, 2010. My mom and sisters didn’t want that again for me, since I had cervical fusion a few years earlier. So I agreed to try one last thing before I went under the knife.

I have to say, years and years of pain and also – physical therapy – needle point injections – pain shots in the spine – and many other procedures, I was doubtful about this Spinal Decompression. But to satisfy my family I thought what the heck. It sure wouldn’t hurt. So I tried it.Show More

I feel like a miracle took place.

I had been living with sciatic pain for over two years. Gradually it got to the point where the pain was so bad that I could not sit, drive or even dress myself without pain. I tried physical therapy and that helped a little, but afterword, the pain was worse than ever. Eventually, with advice from a family member, I came to see Dr. Iulianelli and try decompression. Therapy itself was actually very pleasant and I could feel changes immediately as I was on the machine. In just 20 treatments I feel like a miracle took place. I experience no pain now. My husband is happy to have his old wife back and my children are pleased that mom can do so much more. I am very excited.

– Kelly S

I’m very impressed with my progress.

I was tired of the pain, sleep loss and offers of prescription meds to numb my life. I’ve had the steroid injections, repeat injections, rhizotomy, disc decompression surgery, physical therapy and none have given me the relief of the DRX9000 at Lake Orion Chiropractic. My sleep pattern has changed significantly for the better and I find myself doing activities almost without pain. I’m very impressed. This is NOT just traction like you might find with traditional physical therapy. You can actually feel how this machine is working, as though it is allowing your back to breathe again! I’m 53 years old and not willing to give up riding my Harley, playing softball, kickball or whatever else I want to do…including routine chores at home. I’m very impressed with my progress and I would recommend this procedure to anyone who qualifies.

– Susan J.

I am pain-free.

Before I came to Lake Orion Chiropractic my pain in my lower back and right leg was bad. I have a herniated/bulging disc at L4-5 and L3-4. My right leg was losing strength and at times I couldn’t even walk on it. The pain in both my back and leg would never go away. I had 3 epidural injections and physical therapy. At P.T. I did exercises and traction. Neither of these were working, not even the injections. Then I found Dr. Frank Iulianelli and came for a consultation. Now after 20 visits on the Spinal Decompression machine and continuing my exercises at home, I am pain free and my leg is back to normal! Thank you for helping me get my life back!

– Jennifer D

I am very pleased with my results.

This is a letter I never expected to write. When I began my treatments on the spinal decompression machine, I was very skeptical – but hopeful. Now two weeks after the final visit, I am almost totally pain free. I am very pleased with my results. If I know of anyone with this same problem, I will tell them about you.Thanks you for your help.

My back doesn’t ache after a long day of work.

I have a lawn maintenance company, so I am constantly putting stress on my back. I have had back problems for 30+ years. For the past 10 years I have also seal-coated my driveway and my back usually aches the next day from bending over for 3½ hours. But this past winter the pain finally got to the point that I had to do something about it. Dr. Iulianelli suggested I try Spinal Decompression. I completed Spinal Decompression the beginning of April – before I began my work season. Show More

I can now live my active lifestyle.

After a fall snowboarding (I’m 57), I started having sciatic type pain. After 1 ½ months I knew I had to do something. After only one treatment (the first of 20) I had no pain! My x-rays were a shock to me also. I believe this program will get me back to better ‘back health’ and allow me to continue my active lifestyle well into old age (57 ain’t old!).

– Todd S.

I have almost zero pain in my legs.

I am glad to share my experience and story with those having pain in their back. After my first surgery (lower back disc herniation), I was free from pain for about one year. But slowly the pain started growing again and put me in the situation of another back surgery. I wasn’t able to walk more than 5 minutes and had to lay down at home most of the day. It was my friend who recommended that I see Dr. Iulianelli with a great story of himself completely recovered from his back pain after being treated by Dr. Iulianelli.Show More

Chiropractic Patient Testimonials

Migraine headache relief.

When I started coming to Lake Orion Chiropractic I had had a migraine headache nearly every day for 9 months. I also had shoulder pain, under my shoulder blades, and severe hip, back and sciatica.I first came on a Monday on which day I had a headache, and then Tuesday I still had the headache. I was on three different kinds of medications, plus a preventative for these, because if one didn’t work, I would try the next. On Wednesday, I came for my second adjustment and had no headache that day! I had none until the following Tuesday, when a very stressful situation arose at work. Again, when I came for my adjustment on Wednesday it went away. I have had only one more headache since then, again over a stressful situation, which an adjustment took care of. Only four headaches in almost two months after nine months of continuous suffering, my husband, and I, consider this a miracle! Thank You!

– Wanda M.

Chiropractic adjustments changed my day-to-day life.

Today marks my 7th visit with Dr. Iulianelli. I had migraines for about 10 years. I now know what it feels like to live on a day to day basis without a migraine. Even under stress, migraines now remain silent. Chiropractic care simply works!! Chiropractic adjustments have completely changed my day to day life. If you think this is risky, I strongly suggest you throw caution to the wind and take the risk, I did. I can now enjoy my 10 month old daughter migraine free!! (And she enjoys my extra energy!)).

Dr. Frank has made my life pain-free.

I have been coming to Dr. Frank for 1 ½ years. I was quite skeptical at first (we’ve all heard stories before). My sister, who has a chronic illness, had been coming for over a year and suggested I come with her. She has had such great success, I said yes. I had been suffering for quite some time with migraine headaches, and stiff neck with shooting pain down my left arm and right leg. After my initial exam and x-rays, it showed bone spurs and of course my neck was out of alignment. Show More

I can finally play sports again.

I’m in the 9th grade and I’m 15 years old. I’ve had back problems since the 7th grade. I’ve been going to the chiropractor for only a month and my back has been feeling so much better. I can finally play sports again. My back used to bother me so bad that I couldn’t even sit in class for more than 15 minutes. Now I can run, play football, lacrosse, and all of the other activities I couldn’t do before I started chiropractic care. Now I can get back into shape and have a healthy pain-free life.

Each day I have less pain.

On March 24, 2008, I found out how important my back is by not being able to walk, sit comfortably or even lay down without pain. That’s the day my husband drove me to Lake Orion Chiropractic. He had to help be every step of the way as I was in extreme pain and bent at the waist, IN MY ROBE. (How embarrassing.) After 5 visits with Dr. Frank, I was able to drive myself to the office.It is amazing how the treatments have helped me. Each day I move a little better, have less pain, and smile a lot more! I’m looking forward to the day when I can say…”I’m going for a long walk”.

My mobility has improved dramatically.

When I came to this office I was at the end of my rope – so far as pain and mobility was concerned. I had injured my neck and shoulder some time ago and had made up my mind that chronic pain was something I would just have to live with. Then I fell and injured my lower back and things spiraled downward from there to where I was for all intent and purposes immobilized. It’s been approximately 3 ½ months since I began treatment here and although I am not back to 100%, the pain and my mobility have improved dramatically. The treatment I receive has been thorough and any and all questions and concerns have been promptly and professionally addressed. I feel I have some way to go yet, but that I am on the road to full recovery and this is owed to the treatment I have received at Lake Orion Chiropractic.

I was able to return to work as a professional golfer.

In 1993 I started to have neck and back pain. By 1994 the pain was so severe that surgery was performed on my low back. This allowed me to be pain free for 3 years before the pain returned. From 1997-2001, I either visited or talked to doctors from the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Texas Back Clinic and Florida Spine Clinic. There were also countless visits to specialists all through the country. The opinions that what was wrong with my back were varied. By April 2002, my life and job were limited and most of my time was spent in bed.

I get fewer stomach aches.

I’m 11 years old and I started coming here in November 2007 of sharp stomach pains. It started with me coming home from school in the middle of the day and ended with me not going to school for 5 months. I started coming to Lake Orion in December and it helped a lot. My stomach aches started getting fewer and fewer. I had more and more good days and now I can even tell when I need to be adjusted. Toward the end of the school year, I was back to school for 5 hours – a full day minus band and lunch. Dr. Frank has been encouraging.

I have my life back.

I started coming to Dr. Frank because of FIBROMYALGIA. If you have fibromyalgia, you know how devastating it can be. Your days are no longer dictated by your to-do list, but by whether or not you’ll be able to get through a whole day. You’re in your own painful private hell. I’ve had fibromyalgia for 4 years; two of the years were spent trying to figure out what was happening to me, and the other two were spent trying to get well. By the time I found Dr. Frank, I was taking seven different kinds of medicines, the maximum dosage of most of them. Show More

I have noticed a great improvement.

I had pain in my right ear and could not rotate my head to the right without pain. Also, I was experiencing numbness in my right hand. Within the first two weeks of treatment, the symptoms began to disappear. Now I am going through the healing phases, feeling various pains all over my body. But overall I have noticed a great improvement. Every now and then, I feel cracks and pops as my spine realigns. They are good feelings.

– Marianne L.

I have virtually no neck pain now.

I started approximately 18 months ago, with severe neck pain, which caused restless sleep and a discomfort that was more than a little inconvenient. Over time, and persistence on the front office part, being treated consistently, I have virtually no neck pain now. A surprise side benefit – I have a blood disorder that has diminished greatly over the time I have been treated here by Dr. Iulianelli at Lake Orion. A coincidence – maybe, but the parallel of wellness since is welcomed.
