In Health,
Dr. Bill Lordan
H.J. Female, age 35
After falling down a flight of stairs my body went into total lock down. I was finding it difficult to breathe let alone work or live. Six days after my accident I sought out care. The worst was on the sixth day. I felt a severe tension and constant pain from my mid back and up my neck, a persistent headache and inability to breathe deeply. I could not work and general life activities were difficult and unpleasant. I sought chiropractic care at 17 to help lower back pain. I was told that one leg was longer than the other and then received an adjustment. I felt like I was being broken in half. I hated the experience and never went back. This series of chiropractic adjustments with Dr. Lordan has been a life changing experience. I feel that I have returned to my pre-accident state within a month of treatments. I also have noticed a significant relief from my lower back pain as well. I sleep soundly and awake refreshed. I find myself less preoccupied with bodily aches and pains and I feel generally more relaxed. Dr. Lordan is patient and attentive to my concerns and apprehension. He has taken the time to reassure me at each session and explain the theories and concepts underlying the treatment.
N.C. Female, age 44
I began chiropractic care for neck, shoulder, lower back, hip pain extending down my thigh. I have been experiencing these problems for a t least 15 years. The pain started in my shoulders and expanded from there. The pain was debilitating making it difficult to walk, sleep, and work due to limited movement and chronic pain. Since seeing Dr. Lordan I have overall health improvement, less pain, can walk correctly and have improved posture. He is wonderful, very knowledgeable and he listens and explains.
V.C. Female, age 53
I began to see Dr. Lordan for severe neck, back and shoulder pain that I had for years. The pain kept me up at night crying with no pain relief. My chiropractic experience has been positive. I have almost no pain in my neck, joints, or mid and lower back. Stony Creek Chiropractic has pleasant surroundings, great service and excellent office and time management.
A.C Female, age 38
I have had chronic migraine headaches for about a year and a half. I would have 3 to 4 migraines per month with additional tension headaches in between. I lost time from work and my family. I saw a Chiropractor for several months, about 6 years ago and I was not completely comfortable with the care given. I experienced minor improvements for short periods of time. Since seeing Dr. Lordan my migraines have decreased by about 50% and he can stop escalation of my headaches before they become migraines. I sleep much better now and wake feeling more rested! I’m much more aware of where I hold stress in my body and how to release it.
C.G and kids, Age 42
I came to see Dr. Lordan for severe lower back pain. I have had minor back discomfort that came and went over the years beginning after the birth of my second child. The first time I came to see Dr. Lordan I could not even get dressed. I had experienced loss of sleep from lower back discomfort, but awoke one morning almost completely immobile. I always feel much better after an adjustment. As a professional singer it is especially important to not carry stress and tension in my shoulders and neck. Dr. Lordan relieved 85% of the pain in my neck during my first adjustment. I was pain free by the second adjustment. Any minor aching experienced was relieved with each following adjustment, including an odd aching in my left arm. All three of my children are now under Dr. Lordan’s care. He has relieved my 13 year old from sports related muscle cramping that resulted in one leg. He also helped my younger two children with bowel problems. Dr. Lordan is caring, compassionate, highly professional and knowledgeable in his practice. I have recommended him to several others.
B.L. Female, age 64
My lower back hurt constantly and my neck was so stiff I could not move my head to the left, plus my head shakes. I have had back and neck problems for over 6 years or more. I think maybe it had been closer to 10 years. I am very active and love to dance, etc., but every time I worked out I would hurt miserably. I would resort to ice packs and heating pads. My attitude was getting old, and down. I had gone to a Chiropractor before and it was a positive experience, though I was getting depressed about the treatment not working. I also could not keep up care with constant manipulation. All situations would be corrected to a point, but then would come back as I worked out.
Since seeing Dr. Lordan, my neck movement has freed up, I can move it more and my back is better, a couple of times I have overworked and my lower back hurts. But not like before! My neck and shoulders aren’t constantly painful. I now feel that I can go back to working out. This type of therapy is a different way of treatment. I like it because it is non-invasive and is like a boost of energy all over, or it is like a cozy blanket and I want to curl up and rest, relax – fantastic!
Dr. Bill has been a great inspiration to my – body, mind and spirit, Thank You.
H.A. Female, age 79
I experienced a ruptured disc with severe sciatica in my left side; back pain and arthritis. The back pain and arthritis have been a problem for many years. Sciatica came on suddenly in late June 2003. The sciatic was so painful in my lower back and leg I could hardly walk, even with a cane. Getting out of bed made me faint. Pain pills didn’t help. Physical therapy gave only a little relief.
Chiropractic treatment is helpful if the Doctor is well qualified. Dr. Lordan is well qualified, considerate and pleasant. I have less pain, no longer take pain medication, I walk better and do not need a cane. I am stronger physically and mentally. This means I can do more and enjoy being with my family. I first came to Stony Creek Chiropractic 6 weeks ago and so much has improved in 6 weeks. Just the change in pain is remarkable.
L.E. Female, age 41
I have had neck pain for the last two to three years. The left side of my neck ached constantly and worsened after the birth of my daughter, due to additional strain of caring for her. I was always open to Chiropractic treatment and considered it an option, but had never actively pursed it. I had taken muscle relaxers and pain medication during times that my neck was in a severe spasm.
Since coming to Dr. Lordan my neck no longer aches constantly. It is much better. The lack of pain has changed the quality of my everyday life significantly. I have had severe seasonal allergies all my life. Since starting treatment they are reduced to the point that I no longer require any allergy medications - a very nice, surprising side benefit.
Dr. Bill is very sensitive and caring and accommodating. It is always a pleasure to come to my appointments.
B.E. Male, age 59
I hurt myself two months ago lifting weights. My arm was quite painful and affected my sleep. It prevented me from lifting anything heavy or from staying in a certain position for too long. I was exposed to Chiropractic care at naturopathic school and didn’t like the high thrust techniques. Since coming to Dr. Lordan my pain is gone and no more tingling in my hand. The treatments were extremely relaxing and I’m hoping my migraines will become less frequent. Dr. Bill is very caring and very professional – a nice combination.
D.S. Age 52
For the past 25 years, I have suffered from fatigue, neck/shoulder pain, depression and dizziness. I had zero energy, was in constant pain, unable to concentrate/focus, very depressed, anxious and confused. I had gone to chiropractic years ago and it helped. I also had tried adjustments, acupuncture, traction with some relief, not lasting.
Since I have been coming to Dr. Lordan, I now have more energy, less depression and minimal pain and discomfort. I am able to do activities that I enjoy like kayaking and biking and I am accomplishing more with less effort and a more positive outlook. I am very satisfied with immediate results, effortless and easy.
B.W. Male, age 53
Over the past 15 to 20 years I have experienced chronic shoulder pain, arthritic involvement from injuries and left hip pain. Sometimes my back would feel numb, while my shoulder felt like an ice pick was stuck in the muscle. I have always had a positive attitude about chiropractic care. Since coming to Dr. Lordan my hip pain is gone after 15 years of chronic pain. I feel more energy and I am hopeful. I am able to do more and I am more mindful of my health. Dr. Bill has a nice gentle style and knowledge, which is appreciated.
M.P. Age 56
I have suffered forever with malaise, overall body tension, right neck/shoulder pain and numbness in my right center finger for over thirty years, which certainly feels like forever. The malaise, at times, became so intensely introverted…felt like a black hole, difficult to climb out of…..Tension and neck/shoulder pain – restricts happiness and ability to relax. My thoughts of a chiropractor were “not a real doctor” scary “crunching” of bones. My past experience was just that: fearful, crunching and not changes. Since coming to Stony Creek Chiropractic the malaise has lifted – now it comes and goes; less numbness and less neck and shoulder pain. I feel more open to make some major changes in my life….I feel “on the edge” of something big! The people at Stony Creek Chiropractic are great, caring, informative and positive.
C.T. Female, age 43
I had left hip pain from dancing and scapula pain – probably from work. This persisted on and off for years. This pain has kept me from dancing and would hurt upon waking up or after any exercise. I keep trying things until I find something that works and then I stick with it. Since I have been seeing Dr. Lordan I haven’t had hip or scapula pain in a long time. I am moving forward in many areas of my life – location, business and relationships are all moving in very positive ways. I love the work. I feel great and attribute much of it to keeping my body in balance.
E.J Female, age 42
For the past three years I have had hip and lower back pain with constant ache and unable to move about freely doing daily activities. I avoided chiropractic care because of “gross” manipulation”. In the past other types of treatment results were fair, but my problems reoccurred. Since seeing Dr. Lordan I am in almost no pain. I have an overall feeling of well-being. I am able to get back to daily activities without nagging pain. My resistance to colds/virus has improved. Dr. Lordan has genuine concern for patient’s health, while providing excellent care.
E.C. Male, age Teen
I was having sharp pain in my lower back and hip for about the last three years. I couldn’t sit comfortably and couldn’t function. It was a big distraction. After seeing Dr. Lordan my hip pain is much less frequent and when it happens, it is not as painful. My headaches, that I had almost once a week, are gone. I have learned something new and I now enjoy my time.
S.N. Female, age 64
I have suffered from back and hip pain over the last 18-20 years, experiencing continual spasms. I had seen a chiropractor in the past and believe they set my injury, which was the beginning of my back problems. I had tried tens unit, physical therapy, massage and physician visits. Dr. Lordan has kept me out of trouble through a very physically stressful period – twins. Every day I awake ecstatically happy. Dr. Bill is awesome!!
R.S. Male, age 36
I began treatment to improve my overall health proactively and address problems with tiredness and energy and some back pain which had been bothering me for years. This kept me from making good decisions and from certain activities, diminishing my productiveness. I now have less pain and more energy. Curiously, addressing my health thru chiropractic care had let me to be more aware in other areas of my life and to make better decisions. Dr. Bill you’re the best!
C.G. Age 51
I have suffered, since childhood, with pain, stiffness, fatigue, etc. I have a spondylolesthesis. Since beginning treatment with Dr. Lordan, I can move with ease, I have more stamina, sleep better and I am in less pain. Rest helps to stabilize the adjustment. It is always best if I can rest more.
M.A. Female, age 42
This is my story. I had a car accident 10 years ago. I had a degenerated L5 and an L4. I was treated with acupuncture, Cortisone Injections, pain medications, physical therapy and also had been referred to a Chiropractor. I had suffered so much always in pain and not being able to sleep more than 2 hours per night for the past 10 years. I had always been afraid to go to the Chiropractor. While in physical therapy I got worse.
I have lived on injections and pain medication, until one day my husband hurt himself lifting and got referred to Stony Creek Chiropractic (Dr. Bill Lordan) by a relative; my husband came home and in a few days he was back to normal. I then asked my husband if maybe I should try to schedule an appointment with Dr. Lordan to see if he can help me with my situation, but only in one condition if he came with me. So I scheduled the appointment - it took me a while to trust someone with my back problems. Thank god I found Dr. Lordan he is the best chiropractor in the world.
As time went by with the treatments I was able to sleep 8 hours with no problems and had very little back pain. I then started feeling better and started doing my daily routine again. Some how I started having pain in my back and because of my situation my L5 and my L4 took a turn for the worse. I was dragging my right leg and in so much pain I almost ended up in the emergency room a few times. The pain was awful. I then saw Dr. Lordan and he scheduled an MRI. My results came back and found three bulging disks and a fracture. I then discussed my options with Dr. Lordan after he reviewed my results he then decided that I would be a good candidate for the decompression procedure. So a few days later I started the treatments, my first treatment went well, by my third treatment I had no back pain and felt like a million bucks.
I cannot say enough about the decompression procedure. I love it it’s the best thing that’s ever happen to me (trust me I have suffered for the past ten years). My back problems completely went away, almost like it never happened. I still have 2 weeks left to complete my treatments and I feel awesome. The treatments consist of 20 visits, but by my third visit I was perfect. I would recommend the procedure to anyone with lower back pain, if you are a candidate. If I had to do this all over again I would do it in a heart beat because it is worth every penny.
Thank you Dr. Lordan for making me feel like A MILLION BUCKS YOU’RE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
Molly, Age 63
I came to this office for back pain that I had for a few months. It was very painful and at its worst I felt disabled. I felt terrific after every treatment and saw results immediately. I can now walk without pain and enjoy life again. I can not say enough about the doctor and his practice - Very friendly atmosphere.
