Back Pain Testimonials

Dear Dr. Mark,
Today, I sit comfortably, writing to tell you how much your treatments have helped. Coming to you was one of the smartest things I have ever done. Not only am I on the way to a pain free life but also a healthier “more aware” lifestyle.
I must tell you that, having been diagnosed in 1979 with a connective tissue disease that included the prediction of “being in a wheelchair by forty,” I never believed the doctor and swore that it was not going to happen to me. That was until two weeks ago when for the first time in 22 years of constant pain, I actually uttered those very same words. I felt even though it was a few years beyond his prediction of forty, my time as an ambulatory person was nearing its end and the eminent reality of using a wheelchair was here.
Two weeks ago I had such severe and constant pain in my back, hips and legs that I could no longer walk comfortably. I could not lift my leg to enter my car or climb the few steps into my house, I could not sleep through the night or for that matter, longer than 2 hours. The pain was never really relieved, as I do not take analgesics like aspirin, Tylenol, or Ibuprofen very well. Everything I needed or wanted to do was such an effort and so painful!
Since starting treatment with you I now hope for the future. Slowly but surely, each day, I see and feel improvement. I in addition to feeling better, I am now confident that I will continue to improve and I will not need that wheel chair! I am learning patience while I am working hard to improve my health. I know it will take time and that is why as I take my next, slowwww, deep breath, and exhale, I again say, I Thank You!
– Sincerely, Mika M.
Let me start my testimonial off by saying THANK YOU TO DR. MARK… “I was nearly carried into Dr. Mark’s office with severe back pain…just for starters.” I had other aches and pains, but the back pain had become most severe. It was to the point of having pain whenever I had to sit down or stand up. Lying down in bed at night trying to sleep through the night, getting out of bed in the morning was becoming extremely painful. Simple chores throughout my daily routine were becoming impossible. Dr. Mark started not only his physical treatment, but omitted certain things from my diet and incorporated stretching techniques that have made a dramatic difference. He has increased my quality of life so much that I can see a much brighter future more myself as I approach my 50th birthday. And all of this is after my primary physician had sent me for physical therapy that only involved some stretching exercises that were not helping me as a single remedy, I was only getting worse. Only after I started seeing Dr. Mark, did I feel real improvement…and all this without having to get on prescription filled!
It truly amazes me how chiropractic care can completely eliminate almost any reason to ever have to visit a physician. The treatments provided positive results immediately for me and left me looking forward to the next visit with greater anticipation for a pain-free, healthier lifestyle. Everyone should have a goal that builds toward another. My goal is to build toward being the healthiest I have ever been. The only way to completely achieve that is through chiropractic care. Since I have known other chiropractors in the past, I owe my positive opinions and positive results with regard to this medical science to Dr. Mark Burdette.

On Saturday July 14th I was happily out running errands with my daughter when while at the store I suddenly felt a pain in my lower back, by the time I returned home I could barely walk from the pain. I sat down to soon find out I could not get up, I had suddenly become the hunchback of Notre Dame because I could not straighten out my back and could only sit and cry from the pain you have been a friend and neighbor to my family and me but now you were about to become my Angel. I will never forget standing at your front door crying and asking if you could help me. You so graciously gave of your time that day to assess my problem and start me on the road to recovery by starting treatment on my back. (You even made a house call for me as I could do little more than crawl at that point.) On Sunday you once again gave up your free time to see me, (I was standing by then) and continued your gentle adjustments on my aching back. I went to work on Monday morning singing your praises as by that point I was moving and walking when I had expected to still be flat on the floor.
As a Registered Nurse I know the important of a healthy lifestyle, and taking a proactive approach to health, I stress it within my patients daily. I was just too busy with daily life to remember it for my self, until nature forced me to slow down and reconsider things. Today I had my 5th treatment from you and as I sit here writing this letter I am completely pain free and thankful to be once again fully participating in life.
Thank you for your time and gentle care. Not only are you a friend but you are now forever my Chiropractor.

I went to Dr. Mark because I was told that one leg was about an inch longer than my other leg. My lower back ached all of the time. After several sessions with Dr. Mark, I noticed a big improvement. I was sitting in my chair one evening when I stopped what I was doing and listened to my body. For the first time, in too many years to recall, I felt no pain. It was pure joy! As I continue to keep my appointments with Dr. Mark and continue with exercises, I walk straighter and have less pain. I still have a way to go, but I’m delighted with the improvement so far.

For many years I have had severe throbbing neck pains and lower back discomfort. I found it hard to stand for long periods of time and sitting was uncomfortable. A friend recommended Dr. Mark Burdette to me. After the first visit my lower back discomfort was gone, and after a month, no more neck pain. I have also mysteriously lost 13 pounds.
Chiropractic has definitely changed my life for the better.

I was introduced to chiropractic four months ago when my husband was complaining of back pain while we were at Kobey’s Swap Meet one weekend. Dr. Mark Burdette gave us a free alignment check at the Mossuto Chiropractic booth. It was then that I realized that my body was not as symmetrical as I thought on the outside. I wanted nothing more than to be aesthetically correct on the outside, so I sought treatment from Dr. Burdette with that in mind.
After an office visit for x-rays, I realized that chiropractic is not just for back aches or spine straightening. I learned that getting chiropractic adjustments could relieve me of the migraines I’d been suffering from for over half my life and assist in maintaining excellent health for the rest of my life.
Just one adjustment made a world of difference for me. Two weeks of intense headaches went away that afternoon. A few more adjustments kept the migraine pain at bay.
I am in the navy and spend a lot of time at sea. Sometimes I have to spend a few extra weeks at sea. Even so, all I have to do is resume regular treatments from Dr. Burdette when I can, and I keep feeling better and better all the time. My head doesn’t hurt and I never get sick anymore. I even have a better attitude at work!
I have Dr. Mark Burdette to thank for educating me about health and treating me with chiropractic.
Thanks, Mark!

My name is Sara W. I am a 34 year old female, and I work as a flight attendant for one of the major airlines. During the last ten years, I sustained several injuries to my lower back. These injuries resulted in my experiencing pain to my lower back on a daily basis.
In June 1999, I sought chiropractic care from Mr. Mark Burdette at Parker Chiropractic College. I received my first adjustment in July 1999.
In the beginning Mr. Burdette was giving me adjustments three times a week, and taught me how to stretch my back muscles. As my range of motion improved, and the pain decreased, my adjustments were less frequent. I still stretch twice a day.
At the present time I receive adjustments about every ten days. My pain has subsided for the most part.
I attribute my improved quality of life to the professional attention provided to me by Mr. Burdette. He has an excellent bedside manner and always takes the time to listen to my concerns and questions. Mr. Burdette’s explanations were always detailed and conveyed in layman’s terms.
I would like to thank him for the professional care which he has provided, and I would encourage anyone who is interested in maintaining a healthy body or is suffering from pain to seek chiropractic treatment from Mr. Burdette.

I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea several years ago. I have also been under tremendous stress as a full-time caregiver. The pain and numbness in my toes have been unbearable.
Dr. Moore’s assessment found that I could benefit from treatment for my various symptoms and ailments.
Thus far, I have experienced relief from stress and backaches, and the numbness in my toes. I am actually sleeping better since starting treatment.
The Massage was so wonderful!

Dr. Mark was highly recommended to me by my friend, Andrea P. I had injured my back and Dr. Mark and his awesome staff had me come to the office right away. Upon entering the office I was instantly impressed with the look, the “feel” (atmosphere), the friendliness and professionalism of the Staff and Dr. Mark. I have been seeing Dr. Mark for 2 months and I feel wonderful. He not only does adjustments, but has taught me beneficial stretches. My posture has improved and I am able to exercise daily. Dr. Mark also introduced me to the Master Cleanse (ask him about it-you will feel great!). Thank you Dr. Mark and “crew”!

I have had this problem for 3 months and was gradually getting worse. I have been to emergency rooms for MRI’s and was told it would become worse. Since coming to you I have experienced gradual relief in my movements. I am getting more mobile each treatment. Thank you!

My wife & I had started our adjustments & were about one month into it when I was rear ended by a truck. I already had some neck pain as I stated before but after the third day after the accident the pain was very bad. I was re-examined & had some very different problems than was first treated for.

  • I have had lower back pain for several years. The pain had gradually gotten worse recently, and was especially bad after lying in bed for several hours. The pain would increase at the point that it would actually wake me up around four or give in the morning. Normal pain0killers were ineffective as they usually would have worn off by this time. I had seen several Doctors and two Chiropractors in the past for this problem. After about four weeks of 2-3 visits per week, my pain has diminished to a

I was concerned about not only my physical health, but also the psychological effect it was having on me. I was frequently tired.

I thought at first it was my mattress. I had gone through two of them; I really didn’t know what the problem was. I exercise all the time. So, I tried Dr. Mark just after a few visits I was able to sleep all through the night and had more energy during the day. I now tell everyone that has any of these symptoms and even just for a chec

After about two weeks of seeing Dr. Mark they were almost gone and now almost non-existent. After seeing him for about a month the subject of my bad menstrual cramps came up, he then did a painful adjustment on me. It worked wonders though and my cramps are almost gone after only two treatments. I really

  • Because I’ve had a chronic sciatic problem for years I’ve had a nagging pain in my right hip and down the back of my legs especially when I drive. It got worse in June of this year and it became almost unbearable to drive. I heard of Dr. Mark through association with BNI and after a month of treatment I had considerable relief, and after two months the pain was almost a 100% gone. Now I only have an occasional twinge now and then. I have been treated by various chiropractors over a 20-year p

  • I have severe pain in my back and left leg. I could barely walk and I couldn’t stand up straight. I thought the problem would go away and heal itself but that didn’t happen. I decided to see a doctor of Chiropractic because I had received positive results beforehand. The results in this office have been very good and I’m walking much better. I am in very little pain at this time. Thank you for your help.

  • I went to Dr. Mark to solve a long-standing lower back problem. I had been to other health care providers with little long-term success. Dr. Burdette developed a treatment plan that began solving my problems. I can once again dunk a basketball! That may not seem remarkable for a guy that is 6’6” but when you consider that I’m 52 years old that’s amazing!!

Good chiropractic care ensures this is accomplished & Dr. Mark is the BEST doctor of chiropractic that I have ever found in my years of searching.
