This letter is a bit different in format than the others on this page, but as designer of this web site, I figure I have that privilege.
I met Dr. Drew and Dr. Jeanie Czerminski when I was contracted to build this web site for them. I never intended on becoming a patient. However, the more I learned about Chiropractic, the more I considered having my back looked at. After all, I had been suffering from lower back pain for some time and was getting tired of just living with it.
I never realized how many problems could be traced to the back until I started treatment with Dr. Drew and Dr. Jeanie. I realize that my results aren’t typical, but after one adjustment for lower back pain, I also saw the pain and tingling in my left hand disappear and the pain in my right hip vanish. Most striking was that the sharp pain in my right knee that prevented me from kneeling down and putting any weight on that knee was also gone. I had been told my knee could only be fixed with surgery or at least intense physical therapy, but one adjustment later, I could not only tie my shoes in comfort, but work in my garden, pet the cat, clean the pantry… you name it, I could now do it; with no pain in my back or hips either. I also had a digestive problem clear up that same day. As I said, I would never have thought so much could be corrected with an adjustment of the spine.
I used to walk into my work stooped over every morning. Now I walk in upright and pain free. After two months of treatment I can report no return of any of these ailments. I can also report a successful new web site and having made two very good friends. Thanks, Drew and Jeanie – for everything.

I suffered from a car accident on November 18. On the 30th, I came to see Dr. Czerminski. I was in extreme pain and could move my neck only 15%. I had been told by three medical doctors that there was nothing wrong with me and was given pain killers and muscle relaxers. I called a friend, an LVN, who referred me to Dr. Czerminski.
As a registered nurse, I was skeptical about chiropractors. Dr. Czerminski made room for me on his busy morning schedule as soon as I called. He performed a very thorough assessment complete with x-rays. At the end of my visit, Dr. Czerminski adjusted my Lumbar and neck areas. I immediately felt some relief and had a little more mobility in my neck. Dr. Czerminski talked me through each step and kept me informed of each adjustment and the purpose of the adjustment, building my trust in his care. I saw Dr. Czerminski two times a day for the next seven visits in a nine day period with tremendous results.
The day I first saw Dr. Czerminski, I was at risk of losing my position as a hospice nurse after being told my return date back to work was undetermined. Dr. Czerminski wrote out a care plan and had me back to work by December 26 for full duty.
I am still under Dr. Czerminski care and have referred my friends, family and coworkers to Back to Health. Dr. Czerminski and his staff are friendly and professional, and the family atmosphere at Back to Health makes you feel right at home. I now have full mobility in my neck and back and continue to see Dr. Czerminski three times per week to complete my recovery. Dr. Czerminski is an excellent Doctor of Chiropractic! He makes our visits fun and enjoyable as my fiancé also sees Dr. Czerminski on a regular basis.

"Yeah right!" That was my response when I first came into Dr Drew's office. He was my last resort. I had numbness and tingling in my right leg and an arrow piercing pain in my right hip. In our first interview, Dr. Drew asked me questions to which I answered yes and wondered "How did he know" things I had thought I just "had to live with". Some of my complaints were constipation, indigestion, headaches, neck pain, leg numbness, loss of taste and smell, inability to get a good night sleep. Hey all I wanted was my right leg numbing to stop and relief for my hip pain because the medication I was prescribed wasn't helping. Dr Drew assured me that if I followed his regiment of adjustments and therapy with my own buy into this program, he could help all my aliments.
I have to say I was skeptical. Hasn't this guy heard about the water shortage, cut back on caffeine? What! Is he crazy? Eat more gas producing vegetables and fruit? I couldn't see why I had to come in 3 times a week, but I decided to attend his Monday night class and try the program. I was at my wits end. Dr Drew sat with me and showed me my X-rays and explained why I was having all these problems, and then went on to say that he might not be able to "cure" me but he could improve my situation. So I tried it.
After only 2 weeks of care with Dr. Drew I was having "normal” bowel movement with out chemicals, my indigestion had disappeared, the headaches were a distant memory, my neck pain had diminished and the feeling in my right leg returned. I am getting a better night's sleep and amazingly the loss of taste and smell I had been living with since 1997 started to improve. I am actually enjoying my food and the smell of bread baking. But the thing I am most thankful for is the ability to play with my grandkids without having to say, "No, grandma is tired and, her back hurts". We are going to the park and enjoying our time together. I intend to continue my program Dr. Drew, and look forward to many years with my grandchildren without medication.

I feel like a new person! I have been seeing Dr. Drew for chronic low back pain and have made amazing progress in just a short time (2 months).
Over the years when I suffered from severe pain in my lower back, I would seek a medical doctor's help. The-treatment was always the same: rest, stay off your feet, and take “drugs” to relieve (or mask) the pain. In the past year my back has been so bad that I couldn't do housework for fear of throwing out my back. After work I would come home and crash because my body was so tired and my back felt very weak.
A patient of Dr. Drew's recommended that I go see him for my back pain. I had always thought chiropractic medicine was not the "recommended treatment" prescribed by doctors. I decided I would try chiropractic medicine since the traditional treatment has not been successful.
I feel so much better after seeing Dr. Drew for just over two months. I can now do house work and even mow our lawn without the fear of throwing out my back. I am definitely a believer of chiropractic treatment and would recommend Dr. Drew to anyone with lower back pain. It's truly amazing what adjustments can accomplish in just a short time versus all the years I have battled back pain with no success. I also suffered headaches and I have not had one since I've been under Dr. Drew’s care.
I am grateful to have found Dr. Drew and would recommend him to my friends who want a pain-free lifestyle. I wish I had chiropractic medicine years ago.
Thank you,

I have a confession to make; before I began seeing Drew for treatment, I was very skeptical of Chiropractic care. I was also quite critical of the entire discipline. I have been forced to eat my words in the last six months.
Years ago, I was diagnosed with a minor disc problem in my lower back that caused a chronic sciatica that gave me unending pain in my right leg for over a decade. I had come to the realization that nothing could be done short of surgery, so I decided to just "live with it".
Several months ago, my wife encouraged me to seek help from Drew. I made an appointment and was shocked to see the x-rays of my lower back and neck. We began treatment immediately. I have not regretted that decision since.
I now live without the pain. Overall, I feel better and my disposition has greatly improved as well. I also encourage my friends and patients to see Drew - especially my golf buddies.
Thanks, Drew.
