Testimonials

I have used chiropractic since I was a senior in high school. I continued to use chiropractic in college and on into my adult life. Therefore, I have treated with three different chiropractors over extended periods of time. I began treating with Dr. Hasty over three years ago, as the result of a rear-end collision which totaled my vehicle. Because I had treated and used chiropractic before the accident, my injuries were not so severe. I was very impressed with Dr. Hasty. He is by far the best chiropractor I have had the opportunity to have. He is a very good chiropractor in that he practices his healing art with energy and concern for his patients. I would recommend him to anyone without reservation. He is highly educated and keeps up with the latest avenues to better health. I am able to function and enjoy life at a much higher level than many of my friends who are ten years younger. To maximize my health in my profession, to enjoy my grandchildren and keep up with their activities, and to continue to play the piano and the accordion for hours at a time—I have been greatly blessed.

American Family Wellness was recommended to me by a friend after a rather bad experience with another chiropractor. After his very complete evaluation, it was discovered that I had a broken neck! Add to that the over 60 broken bones and 10+ major surgeries from a rather eventful, (can we say wild) life… It was a mess! I can honestly say that I feel better today after just two months of care than I have in years. While my many surgeries have been necessary to repair the basic structures of my body, I believe that the care I’ve received here has done more for my overall comfort than any other single thing in my life. I lead a very active life, both professionally and personally. I do martial arts, hunt, ski, shoot dance, etc. and all these activities had become less pleasant. I had attributed this to aging but it turns out that most of the aches and pains were not due to age, but due to a skeletal structure resembling a pretzel. I feel better than I have for years!

When I was 48 years old, I was wearing a back brace for 6 months every day, all day long. I went to a doctor to get spine and hip x-rays. My medical doctor told me there that nothing could be done to fix me, if my legs go numb call 911, and I would probably be in a wheelchair the rest of my life. I then sought many alternative treatments which kept me functioning for a while. Years later I started chiropractic care with Dr. Hasty and have been noticing much less pain. I sleep better also. Decades of injuries and pain are progressively coming back to normal. My energy levels are increasing, as the pain and discomfort are decreasing. With less pain, I am less irritable.

When I started chiropractic care my back and legs hurt a lot. My back hurt so bad that sometimes I couldn’t bend over. My legs hurt so that I could hardly get my shoes and socks on. I have used chiropractic for about 12 years now. My back and legs feel good. I am 74 years old now and feel like I am in pretty good shape. The last two years I have not had the colds and flu like I use to get. I think that by using chiropractic it helps a lot.

I had frequent lower back pain, especially after working a long shift at the nursing home. I had moderate to severe lower back pain – pre-menstrual. I had occasional severe headaches. Any headache is rare. I get my jaw adjusted and I do not have a headache for quite a while. I can work long, long hours and my back doesn’t hurt. I have minimal to no lower back pre-menstrual pain. I walk out of the office feeling wonderful, especially my neck and upper back. I have more energy at work. I have fewer if no aches and pains. I have better sense of well-being. Dr. Hasty is wonderful. My treatment plan was tailored to my needs and will only continue as long as I need to.

Before the accident, I was able to do a one hour cardio workout, 5 days a week with no problems. I had few limitations. The accident changed all that. Pain limited my activities drastically and I went to Dr. Hasty for his help. There has been a lot of improvement; however, I’m still a work in progress. I am holding my adjustments fairly well and can sleep in a bed all night. I still have issues with some pain and inflammation, but I am improving all the time. I look forward to getting my old routine back when I stabilize my treatments. I can hardly wait to resume workouts at the gym and my outdoor activities. I am learning to be patient and wait for full recovery.

I had frequent moderate to severe headaches. I had occasional hip and leg pain. I had restless sleep. I rarely have headaches and if I have one, it is minimal. I sleep so much better. I have had no leg/hip pain since I began treatment. My x-rays show almost a complete recovery from my traumatic birth and seizures as an infant. I feel better about myself. I get sick less often.

My feet itched all the time and had pain on the left side of my lower back most of the time. My condition has improved, though I have that same situation, but not very often. Have more energy, because I’m not afraid to bend and do more work and lifting

Before I started coming for regular chiropractic treatment and adjustments, I was having some symptoms which were very concerning to me: lack of energy, neck, shoulder and back pain, right leg and foot bothering me when running or standing too long, and the lack of feeling for hot and cold especially in hands and feet. All of these symptoms had been worrying enough to drive me to the use of blood work, visiting a neurologist and hoping it was not something serious. It was very draining emotionally with all of the worry. My situation and conditions have improved enormously with regular chiropractic adjustments and therapies. I can now carry on regular physical activities without worrying about it affecting me negatively or being overly sore afterwards. I also am able to wear jackets and have water running at normal temperatures because my nerves are much more sensitive as they should be. My whole life outlook has improved for the better. My energy level has improved enormously and I no longer am burdened with the worry of health issues as they are all diminished to the point of extinction

On September 9, 2013- I started having sharp shooting pain and numbness in my neck and right arm from an unknown cause, causing me to not sleep at night, inability to lift my arm, lie on my stomach, or sleep on either side. I thought a visit to my family doctor for medication and massage therapy would help alleviate my pain. After deep therapy massage and muscle relaxers my pain still existed, however much worse as the days went. At this time I was referred to Dr. Hasty by a co-worker. Dr. Hasty interviewed me and obtained my medical history which unfortunately hindered him from seeing me immediately. After clearance from my neuro doctor, Dr. Hasty took me into his care on September 11, 2013, starting with taking x-rays and a strength test, in which I failed miserably. The strength in my right arm was significantly weaker than my left; being right handed, this was frustrating. After the initial consultation, Dr. Hasty needed to review his findings to treat me appropriately; unfortunately, heading into a long weekend, my timing was bad. During the weekend, my pain became so severe I needed to be seen by the emergency department, which they sent me home with no x-rays, or diagnostic testing, but a diagnosis of strained thoracic muscle and more pain medications and muscle relaxers. This got me through the weekend until I could officially start treatment with Dr. Hasty on Monday, September 16, 2013. With my first official visit, I was unable to drive so my husband accompanied me due to the severity of my pain. We discussed with Dr. Hasty his findings and unbeknownst to me I have a curved spinal column and had a pinched nerve between C8 and T1 causing the pain and numbness down my right arm not a thoracic muscle strain. The first week of treatment was extremely difficult due to my pain and I was unable to receive full treatment, but as the weeks went on I was able to participate in all the treatments that would benefit me to the fullest potential. After several weeks of treatment my need for pain management and muscle relaxers subsided, my range of motion improved, the numbness began to diminish, and my pain was nearly gone. Today I am able to function as I was prior to my injury, maybe even better, I can sleep on my side (all night), raise my arm, and use my right hand without difficulty. Surgery was NOT an option for me and because of Dr. Hasty’s thorough examination and professional care, I am able to use my right arm and I have absolutely no pain. Healing doesn’t happen overnight and patience is a virtue, (about 12 weeks’ worth of patience). Just remember to ICE ICE ICE!!

I had been having severe radiating sciatic nerve pain in my left leg from a lumbar disk herniation pressing on my nerve root. I was taking pain medication for the nerve pain. I had pain all the way into my leg and down into my foot and was looking into surgical options for pain reduction. Thankfully a co-worker referred me to Dr. Hasty.

In about 7 weeks I feel I have improved 40-50%! I have been able to greatly reduce the amount of pain medication I take. I am almost off of the medication completely. I only take a small dosage at night now! I had been taking it 3 times a day when I first began care with Dr. Hasty. I still have some pain, but the frequency and severity have decreased greatly! I am so glad I did not pursue surgery!

I am now able to enjoy my evenings at home with less pain, even after a long day on my feet. I no longer have nagging pain down my left leg or into my foot. I am more fully able to perform my job with less fear of injury.

I was experiencing back pain and stiffness which made it hard to lift, bend or turn. Having a job requiring constant lifting, back pain was the last thing I needed. My pain level is much lower and I can lift and turn much easier. My range of motion is greater and I can bend without as much pain. It is nice to feel less pain and soreness as I go about my daily activities.

My wife has Alzheimer’s and could only remember me and our youngest son. With chiropractic, she now can understand simple commands such as “put on seatbelt”, “take off”, or “put on” and she seems more alert. As for myself, I was told I had neuropathy in my legs due to diabetes type 2. I had no feelings in the soles of my feet and I dragged my feet when walking. With chiropractic care, I now can feel the soles of my feet. I don’t drag my feet when walking and I can feel my feet and toes as normal.

June 2012 – I was feeling sore in my lower back and hips. My feet were hurting quite a bit. My wife suggested I see a chiropractor. She had been seeing Dr. Ball for 20 years. My first visit was the first time I had ever been to a chiropractor in my life. I found out I had subluxations of the neck and spine; my hips were also out of alignment. My neck started feeling better after special treatments. Each time I had an adjustment I was feeling better. My balance and energy are better than before. American Family Wellness has helped me immensely with all my health needs. Their service and friendly knowledgeable staff are the best

Before I was under chiropractic care, my lower back was so bad that I had trouble focusing in school trying to get comfy in my chair. My neck was so stiff that school work was hard to get done. My knees were so bad that I had to quit volleyball, which I had been in for several years and my physical activity had to be cut down. I was having trouble sleeping because I wouldn’t get comfortable and I was losing a lot of sleep. Since visiting the chiropractor, my neck is less stiff and my back and knees have improved so much. I can focus in school now and all of my work is getting done with little to no pain. I can now play or exercise with no pain and it’s been a wonderful experience. Next season I can play volleyball with the way I have been improving and I am now having full nights of sleep without waking up.

My left wrist would shoot pain up my arm when I would use my hand to push myself up into a standing position. Today I can actually bend my hand and put pressure on it without pain!

Before starting chiropractic, I was in pain every day. In the two months since I’ve been under chiropractic with Dr. Hasty my pain has gone from severe to very mild and I can work a whole day without pain!

I am 94 years old. For 70 years I have depended on chiropractic treatments to keep me going. I give chiropractic care credit for my long healthy years.

In general, my health was good. Sometimes I felt some tiredness and slowness in getting things done. Before chiropractic treatments began, I was bothered with the back and neck and stomach about the 5th vertebra would give me a sickish feeling. I have no problem now with my treatments. Each week I have been having laser treatments which also help. My energy has been lots better. I’m feeling more like doing more things like my hobbies with sewing crafts, doing light yard work, mowing the grass and also getting my walks while mowing.

I had chronic back pain that made it very difficult to work. I was also having tingling and spasms in my neck and shoulders. I found out that the problem was not in my low back but in my neck. With treatment my back no longer hurts and my shoulders are not as tense. My job is very demanding but I have more energy and I feel much stronger. With continued adjustments I have been able to be more efficient at my job.

I had near constant lower and mid back pain. I would wake up with it and I was careful of what I had to lift. The pain had been constant for years and years for almost a decade since I was a senior in high school. Now, my pain is at a zero and I no longer wake up with back pain. I’m able to work longer and handle more strenuous work with no pain. I feel great and better than I have in years. All areas of my life are now better. Without back pain hanging over me I can do more of everything and I no longer have to limit anything. For years, I never thought there was anything I could do about it and after care, I feel better than I ever thought I would.

Before starting chiropractic, my health was pretty good… I thought. I didn’t have a lot of back pain though the initial x-rays showed that my hips were uneven and rotated opposite directions. Since starting chiropractic I have even less pain now and my posture is better. I also got pregnant for the first time – with twins!! I have had very few pregnancy symptoms: no swelling feet or legs, no additional back pain, very little morning sickness. I believe chiropractic care has lessened the symptoms and is preparing me for a good, healthy delivery!

I had pain in lower back, right hip, neck, between the shoulders, and from my right hip to my knee. I had low energy and tight muscles. Now, I have a lot less pain in all areas. I walk better, have more energy, can work more in certain areas at work, have been sleeping better, and feeling real good overall.

I was experiencing severe symptoms from an irritated bladder and was encouraged by the hospital to “go out and buy a catheter” because its use would become my new reality. I knew it was time to find a chiropractor!! I am extremely fortunate to have found Dr. Hasty who in only a few short weeks alleviated my symptoms of an irritated bladder and I am now symptom free with no catheter in sight. Not all chiropractors have the level of expertise in multiple healing methods at his disposal as does Dr. Hasty. I would highly recommend Dr. Hasty!!!

I was having lower back pain, low energy and severe pain in my heel. It was very painful to stand up after sitting or lying down. It would take 2-3 minutes before I could walk or put any pressure on my heel. I was dozing off almost anytime I sat down for any length of time. Now, my lower back pain has almost subsided. I can stand up and immediately walk with infrequent pain in my heel. I am much more alert and I don’t doze off so often. It’s so great to be feeling so much better. Just all-around, I’m feeling more lively! It’s fantastic! I wish I would have come to Dr. Hasty sooner.

I wasn’t moving much—just sitting or lying down. Now, I’m involved in activities at the Manor, doing more at home, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of my cat. My condition has improved with chiropractic care. I’m feeling better, moving better, and walking more, and able to do my crafts and day-to-day activities better.

Before starting chiropractic, I had lower back pain and leg numbness that was a result of back fusion surgery. I also had frequent headaches and very limited activity, and fewer recreation activities were possible. It was difficult and painful to stand or bend while on the job. After my treatments with Dr. Hasty, the nerve damage, and therefore the pain, in my lower back is gone! The consistent care and adjustments, along with the therapies, have affected a good result. My quality of life has greatly improved, creating a more positive outlook. Everyday activities at home and on the job are less painful, and I have increased energy and a desire to do activities. Life is good! Dr. Hasty and staff are genuine in their care, and treatments are effective and professional.

About two years ago, I had shoulder pain and a stiff, painful neck, which restricted the range of motion of my head, which had begun to affect my ability to do everyday activities. I also had low back pain when I would stand too long or lift things. My energy level was very low. I seemed to catch colds very easily. These are the main reasons that I sought chiropractic treatment.

Since finding American Family Wellness and starting treatment with Dr. Hasty and his staff, I have been doing much better. I enjoy life much more and get more yard work done. My stiff neck is much, much better and I have full range of motion back. My shoulders are not stiff and painful any more. I still have some low back pain when I stand too long or lift heavy objects, but the pain is so much less that I will continue to see Dr. Hasty. My energy level has improved so much that I feel 10 years younger. I feel like getting out and doing things again. I have had only one bad cold in the last year or so. I would recommend Dr. Hasty and his staff to anyone who has back pain that is affecting their daily lives.

I will continue to see Dr. Hasty on a regular schedule for the rest of my life!

Since my early thirties, I have been treated with chiropractic periodically because by stooping and twisting I would ‘throw my back out’ and have to rest for a day. With this care, early on I learned of the curvature in my upper spine and had treatment about once each month, and just prior to this 90 day treatment I was seeing Dr. Hasty once every week for that month to ‘keep in line’. Since these ninety days my hip rotation, which caused that curvature, has improved ninety percent affecting the other areas as well, so my improvement has been 100%. I am feeling better generally, able to walk more briskly and confidently as well as have a good outlook for more improvement. Of course, this affects all areas in my life, and I consider it a plus in every way.

I was not able to walk without holding onto someone or something, in a great deal of pain. I had a lot of pain getting in and out of my car. My improvement has been great. I am walking with no pain, I can get in and out of my car fine now, I sleep better, and can walk without any help. I am doing so much better, and am so much better able to do things again. I can walk my dog, and can pick things up off the floor without pain.

I was plagued with severe knee, hip, and back pain, but after receiving care from Dr. Hasty, I am 90% better. My knee is not fully healed yet, but now I can work a whole day without wanting to scream. I am also able now to sleep throughout the night.

I had constant pain in my neck and shoulders. By the end of the workday I would inevitably have a headache. Now I can work all day with very minimal aches. I rarely get headaches.

Before regular chiropractic care, I was having frequent pain and tightness in my low back, upper back, and neck (tightness in the neck would cause headaches). My hips would hurt sometimes, and so would my knees. The pain and tightness in my neck and back is much less and the headaches are just about gone. My hips and knees are doing great! I recently inured one of my knees and after having my knees adjusted for a time, that knee is back in shape! As someone who enjoys playing soccer and other sports, strong leg joints are important! Being able to function without headaches and back pain is a huge blessing. I’m thankful for the concern and care Dr. Hasty has for his patients and how well he teaches the importance of chiropractic, and how to maintain overall health.

My neck and back were just awful – a lot of pain. Receiving care from Dr. Hasty has made me much better than I was with very little pain now. I am much happier now – my husband tells me I’m the same person again I used to be!

Life was pretty good until my neck started hurting and I began to get headaches. I then also began to develop hip trouble. After seeing Dr. Hasty, my headaches are gone and my neck is not stiff anymore. My hip has improved, but is still a work in progress. I can now do my job without pain and I am able to clean and take care of my house.
