Craniocervical Specialist
Upper Cervical Chiropractor
When I first came to see Dr. Chris, I had pain in the back of my head and neck, facial bone pain, TMJ pain, tinnitus and a variety of symptoms including hearing loss on my right side.
With all of my ongoing issues, I saw a lot of doctors with no help. A dentist who specializes in trigeminal neuralgia referred me to Dr. Chris.
Since starting upper cervical care, I have less pain and my overall symptoms have reduced. I exercise regularly, and since I started care I have also gotten stronger in my upper body, especially wide grip exercises. In fact, my trainer tested me before and after starting and I got stronger without any workouts in-between.
I hope to continue to get to a point of no symptoms and improved posture, especially in my shoulders with continued care.
Dr. Chris Slininger finally found the missing link of why I have not felt "like myself" any more after last year's concussion.
My body and mind are healing now, and it is the greatest gift after a long time of getting worse with all kinds of physical and mental impairments and falling deeper and deeper into the hole of despair.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Immediately knew I was at the right place once I spoke with Dr. Chris Slininger. He truly knows and understands the foundational principals of health/healing, in addition to being excellent at fixing vertebrae issues in a non-invasive way (and it legitimately works).
The treatment is so mild, and at first I was not sure if it would even work, but later in the day once muscles started turning back on, it was VERY clear this treatment works.
My name is Kay Tvedt. I am 84 years old from Stewartville, MN. I have had severe pain in my head since January 2000. I have been treated by medical doctors at Mayo Clinic, and by various chiropractors back home. No one could seem to make a difference in the pain. I have had several severe injuries to my head and neck since 1957. I was told I have severe arthritis in my neck and there is not much anyone can do.
Well, my daughter lives in Florida and she discovered Dr. Chris, an upper cervical specialist, and brought me to Florida for a month to have treatments from him. I am so thankful I decided to come down! I have had ten adjustments and my head and neck pain is so much more improved! After my 10th adjustment, I discovered the little finger on my left handzsza now has normal feeling in it. It has not had normal feeling since a bad car accident in 1957!
Praise God for Dr. Chris! I wish I could take him back to MN with me!
My trigeminal neuralgia was making my day to day life miserable with shocks of pain behind my left eye, with some shocks of pain, worse than others. A friend who runs a therapy group for trigeminal neuralgia recommended this office above all other upper cervical chiropractic clinics.
With the treatment I receive from Dr Chris, it has changed my quality of life from 10% to 95% and I can reduce my prescription medication to half. I have been a Dr. Chris patient for 6 years and I hope to continue my chiropractic journey, so my trigeminal neuralgia will remain under control.
I had a pinched nerve somewhere between my neck and right elbow causing pain. I tried 6 days of steroids to relax the muscles in my back but that did not stop the pain. So my wife recommended that I try the Chiropractor, that it might help relieve the pain.
I had never been to a Chiropractor before so I was skeptical about how "Atlas Orthogonal treatment" would help my pain go away. I had the initial consultation with Dr. Chris and after 6-7 visits involving the "upper cervical stretcher" and "atlas re-alignment", my nerve pain has gone away and I can resume my normal daily activities.
The length of your treatment plan my vary, but I am happy with my results and will recommend Dr. Chris Slininger to others.
