CHIROPRACTIC

"I was always afraid of going to a chiropractor because I thought it would hurt.  But it doesn't.  It feels more like a massage and you just hear some popping noises.  But afterward, you feel relaxed and great.  I am currently in law school, and that in itself is physically exhausting.  I find myself hunched over books for hours at a time, which leads to my lower back aching and occasionally my middle back.  I am constantly stressed out, particularly around final exams, so my muscles are always tense, especially my shoulders.  Going to a chiropractor has helped a lot.  It is so much easier for me to study and enjoy life when I am not in pain.  I try not to hunch so much, but even so, my lower back pains are not as often as they once were."

Currently my family uses the services of Dr. Avani Patel for our chiropractic health needs.  I have used the services of many chiropractic providers in the past so I can say without a doubt we are in good hands.  Avani knows her stuff.  She is caring, thorough, and professional.  She incorporates many modalities into her practice to ensure her clients get the best treatment for what ails them.  She is thoughtful at the same time she is efficient and has wonderful patience, especially since my daughter is special needs.  I hurt my back in such a way I was afraid I couldn’t adequately care for my family and continue to work.  Within a short period of time I was already feeling the benefits of her treatments and was back to work.  I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend her to my family and friends.

This is an email response from a client I treated while he was on vacation to CA from South Carolina.  I emailed him to follow up after he got home to make sure all went well after his treatment with me:

PERSONAL TRAINING

"I am currently in graduate school, so I spend a lot of time sitting in classrooms and studying.  I did not get a lot of exercise because I always felt so tired by the end of the week.  I use to run during the summers, but when school would start up again, I found excuses not to run anymore.  I decided to start training with a personal trainer because I figured if I scheduled it into my schedule, it would be easier to do.  And it worked.  It was harder to come up with excuses because I had already put it into my schedule.  I was no longer constantly tired from school...I found that I have more energy now that I exercise regularly.  I feel healthier, stronger, I don't get sick nearly as often anymore, and I my eating habits are much healthier too."

"Since training with Avani, I have found the motivation I had lost to meet my fitness goals.  I’m no longer burned out and have more energy than I’ve had in a long time.  She makes working out fun and I’ve noticed positive changes in my body in a very short time!  I highly recommend her as a personal trainer!"

 "Avani Patel is one of the best personal trainers I have had the pleasure of working with.  She is competent and has impeccable credentials.  Not only does she insure your workout is interesting and enjoyable she makes sure it is safe.  Her attention to body mechanics and the proper use of equipment and exercises is impressive.  She gives you undivided attention and it is obvious she loves what she does and wants to make your workout is a rewarding experience.  She is very patient and provides you with information you may find interesting to help make your workouts successful.  I actually look forward to going to the gym and working out.

"I am a 73 yr. old male who has been a member of the One-On-One training program for 5+ years.  I have been training with Avani for 1 year.  Whereas, I was in pretty good shape, health, weight, etc, my goal nevertheless was to remain flexible, agile etc, simply able to take long brisk walks, as if I were still 16. The One-On-One training program was doing that for me.   I never thought I would feel so good after each session.  However in the last six or so months, I began to experience lower pain in my back.   It has now been diagnosed that besides my lower spine scoliosis, I have lower lumbar stenosis. Thus there were significant issues that were threatening my initial goal.  Dr. Avani Patel, D.C. a fitness personal trainer (and chiropractor) guides my training program, twice a week.  Because of her training and education, she completely understands the problem, instructs me in the correct exercises and strength training that now are beginning to completely mitigate the pain I was having.  Will I ever be totally cured, probably not, but under Avani’s care, direction and encouragement, my original goal is now back on track.    I know what to do when I am having excess distress. I can manage the pain, and I look forward to my training sessions with Avani."

"I have had several different personal trainers since I became more health and fitness conscious and I can emphatically say that Avani Patel is the best.
