Thanks to Dr. Jessica and Dawn for their positive energy and awesome care.

I honestly didn’t think chiropractic care would be that beneficial. However, years of playing sports and life in general, the aches and injuries have accumulated, and the recovery process takes longer. There were days where every time I took a step there was pain in my back. I was under the impression that I would just have to deal with it, and if it got worse take some pain killers.

I chose care at Dr. Jessica’s office because I finally decided to make an appointment after months of stubbornness and procrastination. Needless to say, I should have taken her advice earlier. When I started chiropractic care it happened to coincide when I began getting assignment to referee fall ball (lacrosse) tournaments. Typically, after a day of running up and down the sideline, I’m barely walking the next morning. However, after the first couple of adjustments, I was shocked to wake up with no back pain. I’ve noticed an improvement in my overall sports performance, so thanks to Dr. Jessica and Dawn for their positive energy and awesome care.

Chiropractic has helped with more than the aches and pains.

There are many things I’d like to share but the most important thing is how good I feel.  I used to think chiropractic care was about getting my back cracked every once in a while but with Dr. Jessica’s guidance, I’ve learned that there are many more benefits to be found in chiropractic care.  Not only has Dr. Jessica helped me with all kinds of aches and pains, I consider her almost completely responsible for keeping my immune system strong enough to fight off the many bugs that have been going around my department for the past few months.  I’m happy so say I am the only operator in my department that hasn’t called in sick this year (knock on wood).

Since becoming a patient of Dr. Jessica’s in April of this year, my health has improved in ways I never expected.  I used to experience headaches almost daily (as a 911 operator I considered it part of the job), now I can barely remember the last time I had a headache.  Some time ago I injured my shoulder and it hasn’t been quite right since.  Over the past 2 months Dr. Jessica has helped me re-hab my shoulder and it’s almost as good as new (or as good as a 37 year old athlete can expect).  She’s even made me a better dressage rider by improving my posture and keeping my lower back strong and loose (loose is a good thing when riding dressage).

Most surprisingly is the most recent ‘gift of health’ Dr. Jessica has given me.  About a month ago I not only fractured my finger but damaged the tendons and ligaments.  I thought it was healing fine but 2 weeks ago I started loosing sensation and noticed quite a reduction in my range of motion.  I saw a specialist who recommended physical therapy and if that doesn’t work I’m surgery bound.  The first available appointment for is Aug 17th.  I told Dr. Jessica about my problem and she immediately began therapy on my finger.  I’m happy to say sensation is returning and my range of motion is improving.  I may even be healed before my first ‘official’ therapy appointment.

I met Dr. Jessica at a fitness event and spent several minutes talking to her about health care in general.  What can I say, everything she had to say just clicked with me.  I made an appointment for an evaluation and I haven’t looked back.

If I ever win the lottery I’m going to hire Dr. Jessica and Dawn as my personal health care team and take them with me everywhere I go.

Frozen Shoulder After Car Accident

My daughter and I were in a car accident in June of 2008.  We were hit by a drunk driver on Hwy 87.  Shortly after the accident I had great deal of fatigue and tightness in my neck.  After several months of therapy my condition did not improved and the pain began to travel to my shoulder and right arm.  On Mother’s Day I woke up with intense pain in my right arm and the following morning I couldn’t move it at all.

I was diagnosed with “frozen shoulder” and the earliest appointment available was 2 weeks later. I was frustrated with Kaiser’s lack of urgency and frankly lost faith in their ability to cure me.  I was in an incredible amount of pain and I couldn’t afford any more delays or the possibility of getting worse.  The day to day activities like showering, brushing my hair and teeth, dressing, and driving were extremely difficult.   I needed to get help quickly by someone who knew what they were doing.  

A couple of very good friends, the Cerritos and Bloyds, referred me to Dr. Jessica.  She put together an intense treatment plan and after only a few appointments my range of motion and pain had improved tremendously.  It was exciting just to be able to wash my hair again.  The fatigue in my neck is nearly gone and I no longer have headaches.  Thanks to Dr. Jessica I feel human again.

I’ll admit that I was a little nervous about seeing a chiropractor.  I had heard my share of horror stories, but decided to trust my friends who spoke so highly of Dr. Jessica.  I’m so glad I did.  Dr. Jessica is a very knowledgeable chiropractor and truly cares about the health and well being of her patients.

Knee and Back Pain plus Severe Headaches

Before I went to Dr. Jessica I was having a lot of knee pain, severe back pain and headaches.  I couldn’t sleep or do normal activities.  Only after a few treatments my headaches are gone.  I can sleep through the night.  And more importantly, I can walk around the mall now and sit and watch a movie without fidgeting too much =).  Dr Jessica is the best!

My Chiropractic story:

My name is Doug Bloyd. On March 30, 2009 I was referred to Dr. Paige by our good friends the Cerritos. Ten days earlier I had strained a muscle in my neck and the headaches I was experiencing had become progressively worse, to the point where I could not even get out of bed on the 30th. I went to my general practitioner Doctor that morning and he prescribed me some heavy duty pain killers and another medicine to bring down my heart rate, that had been racing. I became desperate, because I did not want to take the medicine. I was in debilitating pain, but only 4 days away from competing in the American River 50 Mile Endurance Run. I had put over 8 months of training into preparing myself for the race and I knew that as soon as I took the prescription that there was no way I would be able to compete. The potential side effects from the medicine would have been far too risky. Four months earlier I had failed on my first attempt at completing a 50 mile run. That had left a really bad taste in my mouth, and now here I was just four days away from redemption, and this!  I am new to Chiropractic, but I knew I needed to explore another option. My wife called Dawn and Jessica and explained my situation and we were amazed when they told us that they would come in on Wednesday (their day off) to help me. Needless to say, Dr. Jessica did her magic and after just three treatments she had me toeing the line on April 4th. I am not fast, but I finished in 10:52:18, qualified for the Western States 100 lottery, and got one huge monkey off my back. THANK YOU DR. JESSICA. YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I could not have done it without you.

I Thought I'd be Limping for Weeks

I am on my feet all day long, and I mean all day long.. I work for PG&E as a Meter Reader. I walk at least 6 hours a day on sidewalks, mud, dirt, lawns, slippery bricks and uneven paths. Every day I have to step over trash bags, squeeze between fences and bushes, reach over to unlock gates, bend down to read gas meters, duck under clotheslines and, of course, face innumerable dogs. I also spend a small portion of my day driving to and from my routes.

It is imperative that my body be at its best. Not only do I have to walk, but also stretch, reach, bend, lean and balance.

This past summer I twisted my ankle. Luckily, I had an appointment to see Dr. Jessica within 24 hours of the incident. She adjusted my ankle, gave me instructions on icing and the next day - relief. It was amazing. I thought I'd be limping for weeks.

By working with Dr. Jessica, I'm able to keep my body at its best considering all the circumstances of my life. By having her treat me regularly, she is able to keep in constant awareness of how my body is behaving. She knows immediately if something has changed and works with me on figuring out what's going on in my life and how to adjust it for bettering my health.

I can't imagine what my body would be like without her and without regular adjustments. My attitude towards life is one of the best side effects of chiropractic care.

You have made a Tremendous Difference in my Life!

My story begins.  One day I got out bed and had such excruciating pain in my lower back that I couldn’t even walk.  I was desperate and very anxious.  I knew I needed to see someone (health practioner) and fast!  I had seen chiropractors in the past and had lots of faith in them.  It had been a long time since seeing one (mainly do to insurance), but I knew it was time again to seek one out.  So I had asked one of my health practioners for a recommendation and she referred me to Dr. Jessica Paige.  I spoke with Dr. Jessica on the phone, gave me advice, and got an immediate appt., consultation, examination and begun treatment right away.  After a few treatments I started to feel so much better.  With regular treatment and the at home treatment she recommend, I was surely on my way to healing and recovery.  I was out of pain and able to function again.

It has changed my life because I not only can move around, walk and be without pain now, but chiropractic care has taught me how to care for myself and understand my body.  It starts first with me.  I now have awareness that diet, posture, stress, physical activity, etc.  has such an impact on the alignment of my spine. Who would know? This all relates to “wellness”.  A healthy spine means a healthy nervous system, a healthy immune system and ultimately a “healthy body”.

I choose Dr. Jessica for so many reasons.  She is knowledgeable, she listens, she is encouraging, she cares, she is honest, and she takes the time to work with you to embrace good health, she has such positive energy and most of all, she is competent at what she does.  She is always striving to fulfill her patient’s needs.  The office environment is very healing and warm.  Love her contests too!

I always look forward to going to see Dr. Jessica Paige.  At times, I just don’t want to leave.  The adjustments, bodywork, stim, and conversation arms me with the “mental and physical” strength to tackle the weekly challenges that life can bring.  Thank you Dr. Jessica Paige.  You have made a tremendous difference in my life.

Chiropractic care provides short and long term benefits

Many people do not realize how important chiropractic care is for their overall health and wellness. 5 years ago I definitely was one of them. By incorporating chiropractic care into my health and wellness routine, I have been able to maximize my time and ability to stay in excellent shape and reach my fitness goals.

Regular chiropractic care has helped me ensure that I stay consistent with my fitness routine. One of the most important ingredients to staying on track is consistency. If you are constantly taking “breaks” due to injury, then it is that much more difficult to reach your fitness goals. Incorporating regular chiropractic care has made sure I never miss a soccer game or a race event.

From the first time I met Dr. Jessica’s I felt comfortable. It is crucial to have trust in your chiropractor and Dr. Jessica makes that so easy. She and her staff are extremely knowledgeable and professional. They believe in living a healthy lifestyle and practice what they preach.

There are so many outside influences that change the way our body feels from one day to the next. Making sure you exercise regularly and incorporate chiropractic care will help achieve both your short term and long term goals of living a healthy and well balanced life.

Chiropractic care has changed my life

In the beginning of my freshman year of high school to the end of summer, every time I would have to exercise heavily, running or that kind of workout my entire back would have excessive pain, and the only thing that would fix it temporarily was some sort of pain reliever. I didn’t want to put up with this any longer since I’m an active athlete, and took my mom’s advice to visit a chiropractor. I had first met Dr. Jessica when she gave a presentation to my soccer team.

Chiropractic care has changed my life in a major way, and am very glad my back is getting better little by little every day.

I enjoy my visits at her office because I always feel better afterwards. Through things I’ve learned from her I try harder to do things that will keep me healthy. Dr. Jessica is fun to be around and I like her dog, too!

I Wish I Had Visited a Chiropractor Years Ago!

I had been having neck pains for over 30 years. I went to see Dr. Jessica hoping to help neck and shoulder pain. Little did I know, after one treatment I stopped having migraines and haven’t had any since February 2008. I have had migraines for 40 years and I was getting them at least once a week. After a couple of treatments, I noticed my left bra strap wasn’t sliding off my shoulder any longer.

The biggest change is that I am now migraine free after 40 years. My body feels great and my neck and shoulder pains are almost gone. I wish I had visited a chiropractor years ago.

I went on a hike to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite. We hiked for 20 hours and during the hike I carried a 10 to 15 pound backpack. I never experienced any neck or shoulder pain during the hike. I believe I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this great adventure if it wasn’t for Dr. Jessica’s excellent care. She also came highly recommended by my boyfriend’s daughter.

Chiropractic Gave me BACK my Life!

I was selling my ping pong table because I could not play any more.  My hand and wrist had hurt badly for months, and no one had provided a solution.    She came to pick up the ping pong table and asked me why I was selling it.  I told her I could not shift gears on my bike or lift hay to the horses' feeders, let alone play ping pong.   She offered to work with it a bit, and did, on the spot.  Her magic provided relief for the next 24 hours, and then I could hardly wait to see her again.  Within a couple months, using A.R.T., my functioning was back to normal.

It gave me BACK my life.  I demand a lot of my body, and Chiropractic allows me to race my bikes and care for my rural property, horses and pets without wincing.

Because she is the best.  I travel 85 miles each way to see her, that is how highly I think of her.  Present her with a symptom, she finds the cause, and then applies the solution.  She is smart, personable, dependable, and so highly skilled that I would, and do, recommend her to anyone.

It's okay to expect a lot from Dr. Jessica... because she comes through for you.
You only have one body, and one life in that body... so don't let it hold you back from enjoying what you love in life!

But she won't give you back your Ping Pong table.

Treatment Has Provided Numerous Benefits

I became a patient under duress after my wife scheduled an appointment. However, I have continued care for two years due to the positive results.

Pain and recovery time from outdoor activities such as hiking are greatly reduced.

Dr. Jessica is a smart personable concerned professional who is able to interact with a variety of patients.

Sure the treatment can hurt a little..... hurt a little, gain a lot!

I no longer feel like a 70 year old!

I initially came in for my aching back and plantar fasciitis... little did I know that there was much more to chiropractic care then just “fixing my back and making the pain go away.” I have since learned that chiropractic care means taking care of the body as a “whole.” Before seeing Dr. Jessica I suffered from hot flashes and other symptoms associated with being premenopausal. Dr. Jessica, being so into wellness opened my eyes to how much my premenopausal symptoms can get better in time with regular adjustments and taking care of my body. With proper care through Dr. Jessica I have gotten better and am now on the road to a healthy lifestyle! Since becoming a member of Dr. Jessica’s practice I have little to no hot flashes, I no longer have severe migraines, my plantar fasciitis has disappeared, and my aching back is no longer aching. I would say before Dr. Jessica I was feeling like I was 70 years old. Now I feel like the 30 year old I should be! I am 80% better then I was before.

I love my chiropractor!

Regular Chiropractic Care Keeps Me in Top Form

Like a lot of first time patients, I came to Dr. Jessica only after sustaining an injury to my back.  I now realize that if I had been seeing Dr. Jessica on a regular basis I would have been able to avoid my injury.   I am a competitive Triathlete who trains 2-4 hours a day.  Since seeing Dr. Jessica I have found my body able to recover from these long workouts faster and with fewer injuries.  With a combination of Active Release Technique (ART) and regular adjustments, I have felt more “in-line” during long, grueling training days.  In my training life I have run into a lot of hype about different practices that will make you “feel” better.  I have found someone in Dr. Jessica that not only makes me “feel” better but is a true healer.  A true healer to me is someone who takes the time and energy to listen and evaluate the patient and the issues they may be having.  Dr. Jessica has become one of my most trusted and valued people in my training life.  If I get a cold... I  call Dr. Jessica.  If I get an earache... I call Dr. Jessica.  If I get a small twinge in my leg... I call Dr. Jessica.  If I just feel somewhat out of alignment... I call Dr. Jessica.  Dr. Jessica has a natural way about her that makes a person feel well cared for.  I look forward to many healthy seasons with the help of the healing hands of Dr. Jessica and her wonderful smile!

Chiropractic Care for Children...

As a mother of a two and a half year old boy this is important to me.  Chiropractic care for children means more than just getting my son adjusted regularly. Chiropractic care keeps him on track with feeling good after a hard fall, eating better on a regular basis, getting the fever to break when sick, etc…  Chiropractic care for my son also means mommy feels better after many sports games and hard days at work.  No headaches allow us to play one on one and have more fun.

Chiropractic care for children is not only important on its own but Chiropractic care for children with Dr. Jess is on its own level.  It means my son gets to see Dr. Jess.  He gets to bring her a prize, he gets to help her adjust mommy, he receives a sticker for being good, and he gets the entire package.  He looks forward to going even when it is not his turn to be adjusted.

This as a mother and a very active athlete is very important all around and has become a regular part of both of our lives.  Thanks to Dr. Jess I can stay healthier, have fewer headaches, be alert and pain free to play with my son and we can enjoy our time.

Thanks Dr. Jess!

My Body Lets Me Know

I grew up in a chiropractic household since the age of nine. I never went too long without an adjustment. Now I find my body definitely lets me know when I have gone too long and with regular visits this is never an issue.

As a person with a compromised health condition, I feel that chiropractic care has helped me with many speedy recoveries.

Truly I do not know what I would do without it!
