My name is Ken Rice, I am a 62 yr old man that had never had chiropractic care.

In 2009, I had a total hip replacement which was the result of osteoarthritis. At this time I was given a prescription of Meloxican for the arthritis. Six months later I started having pain in my neck. I went to my primary care and he referred me to a spine surgeon. I was sent for a cat scan with dye. The results came back that I would need to have a procedure to put cadaver bones in my neck due to the osteoarthritis.

After praying about my situation I decided to hold off on the surgery, at which time they recommended I stay on the Meloxican. I was also on blood pressure medications and had been for quite some time.

I am a local beekeeper in Fairfield, Ohio. In the summer of 2012 it was time to extract honey. I was out on one of the farms pulling boxes off the hives that were full of honey. Each box weighs approx. 65-70 lbs. I must of turned the wrong way and a pain shot across my lower back and down my left leg. I thought I strained something and with some rest, it would be ok. The pain didn’t go away. So I went to my primary care physician, They took x-rays and sent me to a neurosurgeon. He said I had a herniated disc, and we would try epidural injections. I went thru a series of those with little or no results. All the time remaining in almost unbearable pain. I couldn’t stand walk or lie down without the pain. I was desperate for some relief and I didn’t know where to turn.

A wonderful friend that goes to our church (Geneva Lewis) begged me to go see Dr. Patrick Baker. This was approximately 2 months after I had injured my back. The day of the appointment I could barely walk into the office. I was slumped over and the pain was obvious on my face. Dr. Baker’s staff greeted me and took me right back and did x-rays  and scanned my back. The scan showed my neck and left lower back were severe. I waited in the doctor’s and the Dr. walked in and said, “Mr. Rice, we are going to help you.”

They had me hang over a machine as long as I could. He adjusted me and when I got up off that table I was standing straight and my pain was decreased by 40%. I could not believe what one visit did for my pain. With every visit to Dr. Patrick Baker’s office, my back continued to improve until I was pain free!

We are still working on my neck, which was more severe than my back. I have so much confidence in Dr. Baker and his amazing staff, that I know we will get my neck pain free also.

My wife Carol and I took a 30 day challenge that the Baker Chiropractic Fairfield, OH Clinic offered. It was literally a life changing experience for us. We were to use recipes from the Maximized Living nutritional plans, A book offered at Dr. Patrick Baker’s office. We weighed in on a machine that told your weight, body fat percentage, and muscle mass. After the weigh in, we started our 30 day challenge. The recipes in the book I will have to say are absolutely delicious. We started every morning with a protein shake which was a scoop of Maximized Living Protein powder. That is added to 1 cup of almond milk. To that I would add fresh Kale, fresh strawberries, fresh pineapple, a few almonds. The book is a wealth of knowledge for nutritional values on various things. For example, you would need to eat 20 bowls of oatmeal to equal the nutritional value of 1 bowl of Kale. I put the fresh kale in the protein shake and when you blend it up you don’t even taste the kale. After a couple weeks we realized this was a life style change we could live with. We both work, so what makes it nice is any of the recipes can be done in 20 minutes or less. The recipes literally explode with flavor. After 30 days we weighed in. I lost 14.2 lbs. and reduced my body fat by 2.8%. My wife did even better reducing her body fat by 3.6%.

An added amazing fact is that both my wife and I are off all prescription  medications including blood pressure, arthritis meds, acid reflux meds and cholesterol meds. Just as a side note. The acid reflux was caused by the extended use of the arthritis med.

It is now 6 1/2 weeks and I am down 20 lbs. and my wife Carol is doing as well. We monitor our blood pressure every morning just to keep tabs. So far both are at or slightly below normal with no medications. We are at a point in our lives that we are living a much healthier life because of the total program Dr. Patrick Baker and his amazing staff offer for everyone. Its not a diet. Its keeping your spine in alignment and discovering a nutritional plan you can follow and enjoy for the rest of your life.

I thank God for directing our path to Dr. Patrick Baker and his staff. Dr.Baker and his staff truly care about your quality of life. My wife and I are living proof.

God Bless,
Ken Rice

My  daughter’s name is Isabella Sanchez. She was born in August 2011. When she was three months old she become very sick with asthma. We were in the ER constantly because she couldn’t breath. The Doctors put her on steroids and inhalers and antibiotics. She was constantly sick.

After 6 months of what seemed like a hopeless and exhausting situation- my friend Angela told me that I should take her to Dr. Paul Baker, with Baker Chiropractic. When she was first examined by Dr. Paul, he told me that he has never seen a baby with so many subluxations (Subluxations are the misalignment of the spine). He told me that these subluxations were the cause of her asthma and other problems.

After a few adjustments, I could tell the difference rather quickly. She wasn’t as sick and in need of as much oxygen at night. After 3 months of adjustments, she was a different girl.  She was asthma free and walking.  She wasn’t anywhere close  to walking when we started with Dr. Paul. We continue to bring her in for her weekly adjustments. We are grateful to Dr. Paul Baker for helping our little girl.  She is now a happy little 18 month old toddler. We owe that to Dr. Paul!

Spanish Version:

El nombre de mi hija es Isabella Sanchez. Ella Nacio en Agosto 2011. Cuando tenia tres meses se enfermo severamente con asma. Fuimos al hospital todo el tiempo porque no podia  respirar.  Los Doctores resetaron esteroides y un inhalador y antibioticos. Ella fue enferma constantamente. Despues de 6 meses de no presentar un resultado de mejoria y sentiendome decepcionada- Mi amiga Angela Me dio que debia llevar la a ver su chiropractico- Dr. Paul Baker, con Baker Chiropractico.  Cuando ella fue examinado de Dr. Paul, me dijo que nunca se a visto una bebe con tantos sublixationes.  ( Sublixations segnifica una desalimiento vertibral) Me dijo que estos sublixations fueron los rasones de su asthma y otra problemos.  Despues de unos ajustes, ella fue una nina diferente.  Yo pude ver  una diferencia muy rapidamente.  Ella no fue tan enferma y no se necisitaba tanto oxygino en la noche. Despues de 3 meses de ajustes, ella fue una nina differente. Su asma fue eliminado y esta caminando. No fue cerca de caminar cuando  empesasmos con Dr. Paul. Por el momento continuamos llevandole a su ajuste semanal.  Somos muy agradecidos al Dr. Paul Baker por ayudar a nuestra hijita. Ella ahora es una ninafeliz.de 18  meses.  Se lo debemos al  Dr. Paul.

I stand a lot for my work, so that was always a challenge, and it seemed to aggravate it more each day. I was unable to sleep at night, and it became difficult to move throughout the day as well.  I was taking Aleve to help dull the pain, however prior to that I was taking narcotic pain pills, muscle relaxers, and had been to a different chiropractor a few times as well. I had absolutely no energy to do anything. It was starting to get to the point that I didn’t even have the energy or the desire to go into work each day.

I finally had enough of the pain and sleepless nights so I got online to find a new chiropractor with a different approach to care, and that was how I found Dr. Matt Finke’s Madeira chiropractic clinic.

Since being under care for about four months now, I have been able to get off all of the medications that I was taking. I am sleeping a lot better at night, and I also have energy to do things throughout the day that I didn’t have before. I have definitely had a big improvement in my life since I started coming!

The team at the office has been great! They are well organized, efficient, friendly, caring, flexible, and more than anything they are more than willing to help with any other problems that come up along the way for their patients. I know that my journey is still long, but I am very confident that my continued chiropractic care will yield positive results!”

Trust me about going to the chiropractic care.  Having so much pain and joints hurt, there are times the pain goes away for a little while and it is a great day for me.  I can get something done at home or go to the store for shopping and bring the groceries in and it takes a day for me to do this.  Then there are days I hurt all over and cannot get anything done.  But I know I have an appointment the next day and just getting adjusted gives me a day back and sometimes the next day I feel like a new person for a while like I can do anything because I know I will have another appointment waiting for me and I can make it through another day.

Thanks to the Baker Brothers!  I am still wheel chair free at 43 and still going!

Today Brittany is free from migraine headache pain. It goes to show, the old saying is correct…”Mother Knows Best!”

Here’s Brittany’s story as she tells it:

“When I was seventeen years old I fractured my neck and two bones in my back. I was very lucky that I wasn’t hurt worse than I was. I went through six months of being in a neck cast, 8 hours of surgery, and then six additional months of physical therapy.

Pain was a daily issue for me. My muscles were so tight that I would constantly have migraines. I couldn’t focus. There would be days that I would just shut the whole world out, and go to a dark quiet place just to find some sort of relief, but still there was none.

One day, my Mom told me to go to Dr. Baker since he has helped everyone in my family. I thought ok, I’ll give it a try. Why not? That was the best decision I could have ever made. Within one week I could tell a difference. Within a month I was headache free.

Something that I never thought would happen did happen. I could actually enjoy life again. I can’t even put a price on that. Words can not describe how grateful I am to Dr. Baker and his staff. They gave me my life back.”

I’ve wanted to write this since coming to Dr. Patrick Baker. I just didn’t know where to start, so I’ll start at the beginning. Over 35 years ago I injured my lower back at home. I went to a chiropractor (not to this one) for a brief time with no relief. Then I started working at an orthopedic office where I have been for 21 years. One of the doctors there over the years has sent me for epidural injections, nerve blocks, physical therapy, etc. only getting temporary relief each time. The only thing that I stayed away from was pain medications and I am grateful for that. The last few years I have been getting worse, and even walking crooked. Every step was painful. I also had herniated 2 discs in my neck in 2005. Sometimes the pain would be so bad, I felt suicidal. I hadn’t slept all night long in years.

My husband started going to Dr. Baker when he herniated his low back. Shortly after, I had sciatica and Dr. Baker’s office got me in that day. I could barely walk in, but only 1 hour later I walked out straight…and straighter than I had been in a long time! I knew right then I had found some hope! I was even able to fly to California to visit my sister. Before then, even a short car ride was painful. Every day is better. I’m even looking forward to resuming my hobbies, which are landscape photography and working in my yard. I would urge anyone who is in pain to not give up and come in to see Dr. Baker. He and his staff are wonderful! It is certainly worth it. Mere words are not enough. And did I forget to mention, I’ve been going there less than 2 months! It truly will be a Merry Christmas!!

Update…

I wanted to update my testimony that I had written in December. I had only been going to Dr. Baker’s 6 weeks at that time. Now it has been 4 months since I started. I continue to get better with every adjustment. I still feel like I am dreaming sometime. I didn’t think I would ever get relief from the pain. I am sleeping great, and am able to stand and cook the great meals we are learning to eat. Before I couldn’t stand very long at a time without pain. Dr Patrick Baker and his staff really care about their patients.

He had a seminar which was very informative. He offered a 30 day challenge and he arranged for a personal trainer 2 days a week. All at no charge to us. My husband and I have been eating the menus from one of his books for 2 weeks, along with protein powder and supplements we purchased. We can both tell a big difference! Both of our blood pressures are down.

I feel so blessed to have Dr Baker and his staff in my life. I will never forget what They have done for me.

If this is a dream, please don’t wake me!

God Bless,

Carol Rice

In almost all sports, opponents are allowed a certain number of “time-outs” during a game.  By using a “time-out”, teams can stop an opponent’s momentum, prevent something negative from happening, reevaluate their strategy and re-energize.

In our daily lives, personal “time-outs” should be used for the same reasons teams call time-outs during games.

Stress is a constant opponent in all our lives. Juggling the demands of work, home, school and other commitments will make a day move fast and it’s easy for stress to build momentum quickly.  A brief “time-out” will allow you to prevent the day from spiraling out of control, reevaluate your priorities and recharge your batteries.

One of the Five Essentials of the Baker Chiropractic and Wellness Lifestyle for Maximized Living is a Maximized Mind. You must be in the right frame of mind and have the right attitude in order to realize a life of health and happiness. Time-outs are essential tools to help you manage stress, gain perspective and re-enter the game of life with renewed energy and motivation.

Do yourself a huge favor and take a 15-30 minute “time-out” each day. Find a quiet spot and unwind, put on a set of headphones and lose yourself in your favorite music, take a walk, visit your favorite fitness center or read a few chapters of a book. There are 1,440 minutes during a day. Using 2% of those minutes for a “time-out” can have a dramatic and positive effect on your life.

There have been many sports teams who turned a game around after a “time-out” and ended up winners when the game was over. A “time-out” in your daily life can do the same for you and help you live a life of health and happiness.

I found out about Baker Chiropractic from another parent on my sons football team. The parent approached me and politely pointed out he noticed my son ran awkwardly and was one of the slowest kids on the team.

When Kasey was two, he fell and broke his femur. He was put in a body cast for two months. After the cast came off he had to learn how to sit up, crawl and walk again. I noticed right away that something wasn’t right about the way he moved and that he did not like to run. We went to different medical doctors about it several times. The answer was always the same, “He will out grow it.”

Around the same time he broke his leg, he started having asthma attacks in his sleep. It was to the point I would have to run hot steamy showers to get him to stop coughing. We also thought Kasey was a hard headed child that would not listen to anything we asked him to do. Come to find out he had so much fluid build up behind his ear drums that he could not hear us. They put tubes in his ears to drain the fluid but he continued to have ear infections at least once a month. Kasey also struggled with school work. He knew the answers to questions but was not able to process them from his mind to paper. He had a hard time blending sounds when reading simple stories.

We decided to take this parent’s advice and go see Dr. Baker. Come to find out Kaseys upper spine was out which was connected to his ears and his thinking process. His lower spine was also out from breaking his leg. Kasey has been seeing Dr. Baker for 2 years now and it is amazing the difference we see in him. He now loves to run, hasn’t had a asthma attack or an ear infection in 2 years and has brought his grades up in school from needing assistance in every subject to now being above average on most subjects. Kasey is now reading chapter books and has a 100% in Math. He loves to play football, basketball and baseball. We are so proud of him.

Before we started taking him to see Dr. Baker, Kasey’s self esteem was extremely low after everything he had been through. Now he is extremely happy, loves all sports and full of energy. We are very thankful for Dr. Baker and everything he has done for Kasey. I would and have recommended Dr. Baker to several friends. Thank you Dr. Baker!

“I came to see Dr. Patrick Baker because I was having trouble with my neck. I sit all day at a computer and my fingers in my right hand were going numb. I knew from past chiropractic care from another doctor the problem I was experiencing was from my neck. After several adjustments I was feeling so much better.

While talking to Dr. Baker he told me that he could help me with my headaches and shoulder pain. This was something I thought I would have to live with the rest of my life.

My headaches were so frequent my primary care medical doctor was having me log them so we could try to figure out what was triggering them.

After several of Dr. baker’s chiropractic adjustments, I am happy to say I am not suffering from headaches anymore!

As for my shoulders, they used to be rounded forward and  I did not realize how bad they were.

Now with Dr. Bakers help, my shoulders are almost back to normal and my posture is so much better.”
