Our patients constantly speak out...

I have been suffering from chronic back pain since 2003. I have been told my many specialists and therapists that the long hours I spend on a computer often trigger these kinds of issues. To make matters worse I was involved in a car accident in 2004. My life since then has been filled with pain and depression. I’m a single mother so giving up and going on disability was out of the question. The combination of wanting to give my son a better upbringing than I had as well as wanting to show him the value of hard work kept me going. But as the years went on it became harder and harder to keep up. Eventually my neck would lock up and my back would be in such pain that I couldn’t get out of bed. I went to physical therapy twice. It helped get me back on my feet, but sadly only provided temporary relief. By 2007 I had given up on going back to physical therapy. I didn’t want to put more time and money towards a temporary fix. My doctor prescribed pain killers and muscle relaxers. At first these helped to at least get me to sleep at night by dulling the pain and making me sleepy. But over time they stopped working.

Just recently I was talking with friends and discussing people we knew who were suffering from ongoing chronic pain. Many of them mix alcohol with their medication to dull the pain and could no longer hold a job! Sure, they were all older than I; but this thought frightened me – is that my future? By this point my neck was locking on an almost constant basis, I couldn’t lift my arms up long enough to do my hair, and I was crying every day because I felt so hopeless. So I made another appointment with my doctor and told him of my fears and anxiety about my pain. I wanted to know what was wrong with me once and for all and fix it! He ended up referring me to a local rheumatologist because one of the tests he ran indicated I had Rheumatoid Arthritis. My aunt has that, so I thought it could be possible. It could certainly explain the constant pain. But when I went to see the rheumatologist he told me he didn’t believe it was R.A. He spent about 5 minutes with me and diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. He also told me he “didn’t have time to go over all the symptoms” with me and to “get some exercise and call back” if I didn’t feel better.

I actually felt worse after speaking with the rheumatologist. I felt dismissed and I felt misdiagnosed. I’m no doctor, but the information that he gave me to read on fibromyalgia didn’t seem to match up with what I had been experiencing! I tried calling local doctors who specialized in fibromyalgia for a second opinion, but was turned away because I was not already a patient. Then I did a Google search and found the Health Solutions Group website. After reading through it I finally felt hopeful again – something I hadn’t felt in years! I must’ve sent Dr. Hayes a 5 page email filled with my woes!!! That very afternoon I got a call back from his receptionist Amanda – I had an appointment to see him the next day. Dr. Hayes performed a thorough exam… and most importantly, he listened to me! He told me he didn’t think I had fibromyalgia either. He believed it was an undertreated neck injury and he came up with an aggressive game plan to help me get my pain back under control... no drugs necessary! I’ve been seeing him since December 2008, just over 2 months now, and I feel so much better! I knew things had really improved when I found myself focusing on an annoying hangnail on my finger one day – the thought suddenly entered my head that I was focusing on a hangnail and not my neck or back for a change. I was never so happy to have a hangnail! Now Dr. Hayes is also helping me map out a healthier dietary plan. In just two months the quality my life has drastically improved – I would recommend Dr. Hayes and Health Solutions Group to anyone who has been suffering from chronic pain. I only wish I had found that website sooner!

When I arrived at Dr Hayes office for my first visit I was very apprehensive. I had been to other doctors and they were unable to help me. After a week of difficult adjustments I felt much better.

Beverly Lewis, Hanson

Dr Hayes is a wonderful, gentle man. There have been many times when my pain was so severe and no one could help me except Dr. Hayes.

Jessica Spurr, Hanover

I have always been a little hesitant to go to a chiropractor and I wouldn’t go to just any chiropractor but Dr. Hayes is just wonderful! It is such a relief to not have back pain. He is an expert at what he does.

Donna Sweeney, Scituate

Dr. Hayes is extremely knowledgeable. He offers not just a chiropractic experience, but a whole mind and body experience.

Whats different about our

treatment programs?

Simply, it's our multi-modal treatment plans including Nutrition, Exercise, Rehabilitation, Massage, Spinal Decompression and Long-Axis Traction with an eye towards long term management, stability and better lifestyle and self care.

Multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs have been successfully advocated for chronic low back pain.(1) Todays patients are largely better educated, and understand the need for compliance and healthier lifestyles. You are also fully aware of the limitations of medications alone.

Some Studies have also shown that chiropractic manual therapy, decompression and long axis mechanical traction can provide significant, non-invasive relief for those patients with disc degeneration and herniations, including resolution of herniations.(2)

What about large herniated discs?

In the absence of acute spinal cord signs, you may benefit from a wide variety of supportive modalities, which may help not only with recovery, but to actually reduce the size of the disc herniations on follow up MRIs.(3).

The purpose of mechanical spinal long axis traction and spinal decompression machines is to facilitate spinal mobility, as well as reducing nerve root irritation, thus preventing the need for more invasive procedures. We carefully monitor all patients with regular orthopedic and neurological testing, and insist that they also are to continue appropriate medical treatment as well. In this way, your healthcare team is greatly enhanced, and results thus increases dramatically.

What about Exercise? Exercises are introduced at the earliest appropriate point in their care program. Individual, rather than blanket programs are instituted. You are encouraged to purchase our materials (books/videos/exercise tools) for home usage, and to track and report back on your progress.

This is a key component of long term successful outcomes.

Many patients need Monitored Nutrition Therapy, fitness protocols and weight loss programs...but never get it. In our office, this service is provided as well. We can even place you on a monitored weight loss program, and provide educational literature and support materials. Weight loss products are only supplied by professional sources, with patient auto shipping to foster compliance, and better clinical outcomes.
