Allergies, Ear Infections & Chronic Problems
Due to a tumor that formed with my spinal cord, I had 6 surgeries within 5 years. Every surgery the neurosurgeon would warn us that this could be the surgery that would leave me in a wheelchair. Thank God that never happened. The Lord was going to heal me at his time and he used Dr. Tanella and all the staff at Chiro Spa to walk me through my healing process.
Throughout the years every attempt to drain the tumor caused more and more nerve damage. In 2003 (1st surgery), I lost feeling in my left leg and in 2007 (5th surgery), I lost feeling in my right leg. Even though I do not feel my legs I am able to move them....Thank God. Also, due to the nerve damage my body was NOT functioning normally. A better explanation of "not normal" was not having a menstrual cycle for 8 months, feeling pain in my right leg because of walking and standing, lower back pain ALL day/night, and regular UTI's. I told myself I would never be the same due to surgery. I accepted my health for what it was. However, after a Thermal Scan at Chiro Spa, I received a clear explanation of what my body was doing and finally a small dose of Hope. Dr. Tanella explained to us that I had practically NO curvature in my neck. He was surprised that I was able to walk at all. He also explained to us that my body was in "survival mode". My body was not functioning properly because it was just trying to survive. My husband and I left Chiro Spa thanking God that we finally had some clarity of what my body was going through. I don't think we had ever been that happy after leaving a doctor's office.
So I started Advanced Wellness treatments, which honestly seemed quite strange and very out of the ordinary. We were skeptic and went along for the ride. And then it happened, one week later, I started my menstrual cycle after 8 months of not having one. My gynecologist had prescribed fertility pills to "jump start" my cycle but that did not help. And here after 3 visits of using color therapy, muscle strength tests and Dr. Tanella "resetting my circuit breaker" (my brain messages to my legs and organs) my reproductive organs were responding! I couldn't feel the difference BUT I saw the difference. I did not need much more convincing after that. I continued with Advanced Wellness treatments and within one month I was able to:
-
Climb the stairs in our home without difficulty
-
Stop using a cane
-
Flex my left foot
-
I felt light sensations in my right leg
-
I began driving using my leg (We had hand controls placed in my car)
-
I can stand on my toes
-
I can walk backwards, etc. etc. etc.
I know these are simple examples, but I was not able to perform these daily activities for 5 years! And now I can!
What I have learned during Advanced Wellness I will keep and practice the rest of my life. I have learned that my healing and happiness all start with me. I have learned to change my attitude and thinking to be positive while dealing with stress and hardships. I am currently 34 and planning a future with my husband. We Thank God for his mercy and Him leading us to Chiro Spa. Also, a special thanks to my sister and her family for referring us to Dr. Tanella and his family. God Bless, Pablo & Teresa
I came to
Chiro Spa
because of
allergies. I had suffered with allergies, headaches and neck pain
for six years. I always had a runny or stuffy nose, and had to take allergy
shots. The doctors at Chiro Spa had treated my mom and she has had great
results. He told her that chiropractic could help allergies. I had some
doubts, but since chiropractic had helped my mom, we gave it a try. The
doctor's staff is friendly and the doctor's are more than just doctors, they
are friends. After an examination and x-rays I began treatment and exercises
they instructed me how to do. Now after a short time, I'm off all shots and
doing great! I know now it really works and others can be helped with my
same problems. THANKS TO CHIROPRACTIC, I'm well and now I'm a believer!

I originally brought my daughter to Chiro Spa because of her constant congestion and allergy symptoms with frequent colds. All of these seemed to start when she was about 6 months old. Before chiropractic, we tried infant Pedia Care cold medicine and that just led to ear infection. A parent of a pre-schooler that was in a class I taught referred me to chiropractic and now Sarah has a fantastic immune system. No more congestion and runny nose that leads to ear and upper respiratory infections. Plus, we are now able to go to more public places with lots of kids and germs without fear of illness or infection. Through chiropractic care we have learned more about immunizations with Sarah than anything else. I really feel blessed to have had the doctors at Chiro Spa help me through a really tough time with Sarah after her 1 year vaccines. She had an awful time, was weak, pale, sickly, fever ridden, lethargic and non-interactive for almost two months straight. Neither Motrin nor Tylenol helped. Only adjustments, apple-cider vinegar baths and a lot of supplements and cleansers helped. Thank God for Chiro Spa! Sarah
We are writing this for our daughter Christina. Prior to beginning chiropractic treatments, she had colds and ear infections off and on for about 4 months. She had been to her pediatrician at least twice a month and tried three different antibiotics in attempts to clear up the problem. This problem made Christina very difficult to get along with. When Dr. Tanella suggested that she could benefit from chiropractic treatments, we were skeptical! After he explained why children need chiropractic treatment, we decided to give it a try and see what would happen. After only 2 to 3 weeks, we started to see a real improvement. She has not been sick with a cold or ear infection for seven months. If this problem would have continued at the same level, it could have impacted her development. We would recommend chiropractic treatments for other children. It worked for Christina; it could work for your child. Christina's Parents
I had chronic asthma since the age of 16. Shortness of breath, lots of mucous in my chest, couldn't sleep, not even if sitting almost straight up. Previous treatment consisted of many drugs with side affects. I am so glad I decided to go to Chiro Spa. I am very impressed with the doctors and the Chiro Spa team. They are nice, friendly people who believe in what they are doing. After rigorous treatment for 3 weeks I'm noticing big results, not only with my breathing. I am noticing other good things happening to my body. I would recommend everyone to go to Chiro Spa for a happier, healthier future. I wish I could tell my children what to be when they grow up, "a chiropractor" and help people the right way. Monica
After the birth of my twin boys, I was having problems with asthma and pain in my right shoulder, shortness of breath, loss of sleep due to being up at night, and difficulty breathing. My asthma was continuing to worsen. After hospitalization last spring, a friend suggested trying Chiropractic. Basically, I was looking for an alternative to medication for my health. Over the years, I had visited many doctors and not been given much hope of reducing my medications. I have never been to a Chiropractor and had my doubts, but we were friends with the Tanella’s and knew that Dr. Robb sincerely believed that Chiropractic benefited his patients. He seemed concerned about my health problems. Dr. Robb recommended daily treatments reducing them gradually and exercises. After a few months my asthma had dramatically improved and I was able to significantly reduce my medication. Chiropractic has been a factor in my improved health and in the health of my children, and I have told many others about my results. Debbie
My daughter, Chloe was six months old when I first brought her to Chiro Spa. She was having chronic ear infections. The antibiotics being prescribed were not working. Every week we were going to the doctor for a new medicine. After 5 different antibiotics the doctor wanted to have ear tubes put in. A friend of mine suggested we try Chiro Spa for a while before we resorted to surgery. After a month of adjustments her ears are clear. She has been re-examined by the medical doctor who has said the ear tubes were no longer needed. Thank you for helping my daughter. Dawn
I have had chronic asthma since the age of 16, experiencing shortness of breath, lots of mucous in my chest, and many sleepless nights. Previous treatments consisted of many drugs (So-Big, Aznacort, Ventolin, and Atrovent) and side effects. I am so glad I decided to see Dr. Robb. I am very impressed with him and his office staff. They are nice, friendly people who believe in what they are doing. After rigorous treatments for 3 weeks I’m noticing big results, not only with my breathing, but good things are happening to my body. I would refer everyone to see Dr. Robb for a happier, healthier future. I wish I could tell my children what to be when they grow up so that they would become chiropractors and help people the right way. Monica
My daughter came to Chiro Spa after suffering with what her pediatrician called chronic allergies. She was always sick and congested, so we tried many prescriptions and over-the-counter cold and allergy medications. Zyrtec was the strongest drug we tried with her, which always made her bounce off the walls, and it seemed her condition would get worse. When I was a pre-school teacher, a couple of the parents said that they took their children to a chiropractor to help with their allergies, and other symptoms such as constipation, so I thought I would try as well. Now, my daughter has a whole new immune system. She is no longer bothered by allergies, and she has not missed a day of kindergarten for cold or flu reasons. She can perform gymnastics and ballet without a problem, and best yet, I know with every fall, bump or bruise, not to worry; she’ll be back in alignment in no time. Our whole family is now undergoing chiropractic treatments, and along with fitness and proper nutrition, we are leading a life God intended us to live. It took my husband around 6 months of observing the children and me, and now he feels the benefits of chiropractic too. Livesay Family
When I came to see Dr. Tanella, I had a condition called acute sinusitis bronchitis. My symptoms were dull ache in the cheek bones, clogged nasal passages, increased nasal secretions, chills, fever, dizziness, a yucky feeling, and depression. The location of the pain was in and around the ears; increased pressure caused pain, ears ringing and severe dizziness. I had this problem for a full year. Some days the pressure in my ears and the dizziness were so severe that I had to stay in bed all day making it impossible to keep a job. I was taking 400 pills with nasal sprays and antibiotics and was not getting very much results, just side effects. I broke out in these rashes that itched which later I found out I was becoming segmented with toxins and on top of that I got pneumonia. I was taking antibiotics, antihistamines, nasal sprays, etc. I didn't fear addiction, because I was not getting any results to make me feel better, I felt sicker by taking all of these drugs. A good friend led me to chiropractic. I had never seen a chiropractor before, but it was my last hope and it worked. I didn't know too much about chiropractic, but I found the office and the people very warm feeling. After x-rays and consultation, the doctors started treatments of aligning my spine in my neck area and back. They had to position seven vertebrae that were out of alignment. After just one treatment my sinuses started draining and the pressure left, and when the pressure left the dizziness was gone! I was so happy I wanted to jump up and down but the doctors wouldn't let me. :-) After 14 visits to Chiro Spa, I felt better than I ever had. The drugs made me sick and the doctors at Chiro Spa helped make me feel happy again. It was well worth the money because I feel better now. I tell everyone about my suffering and how chiropractic helped me. I tell everybody that asks how I am feeling after I went to Chiro Spa. I feel very wonderful about chiropractic. If I ever get sick again I will turn to Chiro Spa for help. Thank you, Chiro Spa! I love you for helping me get well! Dianne
I first came to Chiro Spa because of severe allergies, fatigue, neck and back pain that I had been suffering with for over four years. Previous attempts to control the problems included muscle relaxers, pain killers and every type of allergy medication on the market. My niece, who was a patient here at Chiro Spa, suggested I try Chiropractic. I have been under care now for 4 months and I feel great. The pain and my allergies are gone! Occasionally the strain in my shoulders comes back from stress at work. This is usually from using the mouse on my computer and talking on the phone at the same time. However, coming in for my maintenance adjustments takes care of the problem and I am back on track. It is such a wonderful feeling to be able to just have fun without being in pain. I have learned so much about how Chiropractic works with my body’s systems to keep me healthy since coming to Chiro Spa. JoAnn
When I first came in to see Dr. Tanella, I had emphysema, and low back pain, and I couldn’t breathe. I have had these problems for 18 years and have had many medications without any results; I have been to lung specialists and MD’s with no results. Dr. Joel said that I should go to a chiropractor and he recommended Dr. Tanella. I had never been to a chiropractor, so I did have my doubts. My first impression of chiropractic was “ha,” but the staff was lovely, and Dr. Tanella recommended treatments, exercises, and change of thoughts to positive instead of negative. By the third treatment, I felt better and after that I felt terrific. Before I came in to see Dr. Tanella, I was told that I was going to have to live with this pain for the rest of my life. I hoped my life was short because I could not stand the pain anymore. Now I feel that I can live to be as old as my mother and she is 97 years old. And that’s just an honest opinion. Thank you Dr. Tanella! Bonnie
After the birth of my twin boys, I was having problems with asthma and pain in my right shoulder, shortness of breath, loss of sleep due to being up at night, and unable to breathe. My asthma was continually getting worse. After hospitalization last spring, a friend suggested trying chiropractic. Basically, I was looking for an alternative to medication for my health, and had visited many doctors and not given much hope to reduce my medicine. I have never been to a Chiropractic doctor and had my doubts, but we were friends with the Tanella’s and knew Dr. Robb sincerely believed that Chiropractic benefited his patients. He seemed concerned about my health problems. Dr. Robb recommended daily treatments at first, reducing them gradually, and exercises. After a few months, my asthma had dramatically improved and I was able to significantly reduce my medication. It has been a factor in my improved health and for the health of my children. I would recommend Chiropractic to others as a natural alternative to conventional medicine or in addition to an MD’s treatment. I have enjoyed the results of Chiropractic care, and I have told many others about my results. Debbie
For 2 ½ days, my allergies had been very irritating. I came into the office with congestion in my sinuses and my eyes running constantly. I thought I would have to put a cork in my eyes to stop the “leaking.” After my adjustment, I got up and walked to the door, talked to a friend for a few brief seconds and realized my eyes were no longer running and I wasn’t feeling the pressure of my congested sinuses. I was amazed! “How could this be? So quick!” But it was!! Debbie
The other day when Shawn came to Dr. Tanella, he was extremely irritable and uncomfortable as a result of congestion of lungs and sinuses. He had a sharp, hacking non-productive cough. Dr. Tanella recommended that Shawn come in for regular adjustments. Immediately after being adjusted, Shawn’s cough became productive and his countenance changed. Chiropractic is a major part of the whole picture of keeping optimal health as well as diet, exercise and rest and above all our personal relationship with Jesus Christ! Chiropractic works, just follow Dr. Tanella’s recommendations. Linda
Beau was only two months old when he started seeing Dr. Robb. He had constant severe ear infections and bronchitis. He has been ill most of his life and has taken many antibiotics and over the counter medication with little or no results. It was recommended to me by a friend that I take Beau to see a Chiropractor. On our first visit with Dr. Robb, I was impressed with the office and staff. The staff was very informative and able to answer all of my questions, and Dr. Robb was very impressive. I have never been to a doctor where so much scripture and God’s word is expressed. He has given me so much knowledge about our bodies and natural healing. Beau has been under Dr. Robb’s care for several months and has not had any serious illness. I would recommend Dr. Robb to anyone to that is ill, suffering or in pain. I am so glad that I now have knowledge of chiropractors and not just an opinion. I have taken that first step of faith and have discovered a whole new world. Thank you. Penny
When I first came to see Dr. Tanella, I had bad sinus problems. I had this condition for 10 years or so. I have seen many doctors and had taken many drugs which only battled the symptoms. The sinuses interfered with my daily life and made me miserable by the end of the day. When I came in to see Dr. Tanella, he gave me some all natural ingredient vitamins to control the symptoms. It only took about three weeks of adjustments to get relief and I feel a lot better overall. I would absolutely recommend Chiropractic to others. David
