Matty has had life-long asthma.  He was diagnosed at one year old after he passed out from having trouble breathing.  He couldn’t run around like an average child without throwing up to the point of passing out.  He also suffered from speech delay, which led to a lot of tears because no one could understand him when he tried to talk.

Matty has had to have his throat scoped and at certain points in his life he has been on as many as twelve (12) different medications a day!  Nothing he was on ever provided enough relief to let him play with his brothers.  He has been in speech therapy since he was nine (9) months old, with mild improvement over the past two and a half years.

Matty wasn’t able to run, jump, or even play without having a severe asthma attack.  Most of the time, this would lead to a trip to the emergency room because he would faint from throwing up so violently.  We had to limit how much he could play because of how bad his asthma was.

We were referred to Dr. Matt by a friend who is a patient at another one of the Baker locations.  She kept encouraging me to visit to see if there was anything that could be done to help Matty.

Within one week of being adjusted, Matty’s speech improved in such a major way!  He no longer had chronic fluid in his ears, and therefore his hearing improved dramatically!  His speech went from minimal to explosive within the first two weeks of being adjusted!  At the same time, he was running around and playing hard!  We thought about stopping him from being so active, but we decided to see how he did.  That night he played harder than he ever had before, and for the first time in his life he didn’t need his rescue inhaler!  Since visiting Dr. Matt, we have not used his rescue inhaler once!  Prior to Matty getting adjusted regularly, we were using his rescue inhaler at least once a week every week.

Everyone in the office has been so friendly and has taken the time to answer all of our questions.  We feel like Dr. Matt has given Matty a new life!  We finally feel like Matty has a chance to have a normal life.  He can do everything kids his age can do and more!  We are so grateful for the wonderful changes that we have seen in Matty!

Billy with sister Sarah and Dr. Paul

The pregnancy with my son Billy was very stressful. My labor was induced and after more than 20 hours, he was born healthy. As a baby, he was almost on schedule with all of the normal development stages, except for his speech.

Now 6 years old, Billy was unable to focus on anything and wasn’t sleeping well. There were many days where he just wouldn’t cooperate with me and wouldn’t get along with his siblings. His temper was high, but I thought that was typical for little boys.

Since seeing Dr. Paul Baker for the last three weeks, I have noticed several improvements with Billy. At bedtime, he no longer takes hours to fall asleep nor does he try to nap during the day. When we are doing schoolwork, he is able to sit longer and focus on his tasks. He still needs breaks if he gets overwhelmed.

I absolutely love the changes in Billy. He was always a happy and loving little guy, but now that he is on the road to better health, he is much happier. Every day he asks me if he can see Dr. Paul and get an adjustment.

Thank you to all the staff and Dr. Paul at Baker Chiropractic and Wellness!

“My son Jackson’s birth was very traumatic. He was an emergency forceps delivery. He wasn’t breathing upon birth and had to be put on a mechanical ventilator and sent to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital NICU. He stayed there for a week where we were informed that an MRI showed some damage to his brain in the frontal lobe. As a result of his birth trauma and/or the damage to his brain, Jackson’s arm movements and range of motion were drastically affected. He couldn’t lift his arms above his head and he carried his arms in a “bulldog” position.

In trying to address this issue, we were sent first to a physical therapist and then an occupational therapist. Neither could figure out the root of the problem with his arms. The occupational therapist actually referred us to an orthopedic surgeon and suggested that surgery might be a possibility. At that time, Jackson was 5 months old and we were still seeing the same issues with limited range of motion and abnormal posture. I decided it was time to try something else.

I researched a bit and found that the doctors at Baker Chiropractic and Wellness had the best reputation in the area with infants. I made an appointment, not sure what to expect. At our first appointment, Dr. Paul explained that Jackson’s issues were probably caused by the trauma to his neck and spine when the forceps were used at birth. We started out with an intensive plan, going to see Dr. Paul three times a week. Dr. Paul was very gentle with Jackson’s adjustments – Jack generally smiled and babbled the whole time!

Jack is now 7 months old and has a full range of motion after less than 2 months of Dr. Paul’s care. We are very grateful to Dr. Paul and his staff for helping our son. His posture now looks very typical, and every time I see him stretch with his arms above his head, I breathe a sigh of relief!”

There I was last summer, coping with months of unemployment and no prospects for work. My adolescent son found refuge from stress and uncertainty through video gaming. When he wasn’t gaming, he was oppositional and agitated.

He lived on soda pop and snacks, lost interest in sports, friends and swimming at the neighborhood pool. His posture deteriorated after spending weeks of summer vacation hunched over the laptop on the floor, addicted to an internet game.

I was busy working up resumes and cover letters, trying to score a job interview. I became concerned at how withdrawn and miserable my son was. He complained of low back and neck pain and not being able to sleep. He didn’t want to attend 7th grade and exhibited mounting social and behavioral problems. He was skipping gym class, being bullied by classmates and his back pain grew increasingly worse. However, I did not want to have more drugs added to the ADHD medications and anti-depressants my son was already prescribed.

Years earlier, I had experienced positive results from chiropractic care. I wasn’t sure if adolescents could benefit, but began searching for a doctor of chiropractic.  I made an appointment with Dr. Paul Baker to have my son’s back checked.

Dr. Baker and the staff of Baker Chiropractic transformed my adolescent son. In less than a year, he has become positive, involved with friends and has developed a self esteem that hadn’t existed before. He no longer has continuous back pain and neck pain. He sleeps well and looks forward to weekly chiropractic adjustments.

Our life has been positively infused in so many ways through the comprehensive health care we both receive at Baker Chiropractic and Wellness.

We now focus on wellness; from what we put into our body nutritionally, to eliminating the defeatist mindset that had invaded our everyday living. our goal is to no longer use the pharmaceuticals we had relied on to manage the symptoms caused by subluxations in our spine.

I am now happily employed and my son is a successful student. Our health and well being have become integral to a happy life and our future is so much brighter

Our lifestyle transformation is the direct result of chiropractic care from Dr. Paul Baker and his encouraging and caring staff. If you are receptive to the power of positiveness and the healing the results from a subluxation free spine, Baker Chiropractic and Wellness will change your life!

Dr. Patrick Baker visited Talawanda High School in Oxford, Ohio yesterday to personally congratulate Michael and deliver his prize.

Dr. Baker conducted a presentation at the high school at the end of October 2011 and talked to the Talawanda students about the importance of eating healthy and nutritious foods. He also challenged the students and their families to refrain from eating fast food for a period of 30 days. After the thirty day period, he asked the students to write a brief essay on their experience and what they learned for judging and a grand prize of $100.

“Dr. Paul and I are committed to helping kids of all ages understand and focus on the food they eat,” exclaimed Dr. Patrick Baker. “They need to know what foods are essential for health and wellness as well as the foods that can lead to detrimental health conditions like obesity and diabetes. If we can get students to stay away from fast food for a period of 30 days with $100 as an incentive, we are seeing in their essays how they recognize the many benefits of nutritious foods in the way they feel,” he added.

Michael’s essay supports Dr. Baker’s statement. He writes, “During the course of the 30 days, I had to fight many urges to eat food that I knew I wouldn’t be able to eat. But I realized after about one and a half weeks, you don’t feel like you have a need for them. When I completed the Challenge, I felt it was an accomplishment for me that I managed to succeed.”

In addition to the $100 gift certificate, Michael also received a copy of the doctors’ book, What Did I Just Eat Surprising Facts About Food.
