Dr. Donald Bernard
" I have had spinal problems for the past four and half years at its peak, and arthritis most of my life. I have spent years on different medication and tylenol, and have gone to other chiropractors in other states. I was having difficulties from walking to bathing. I was in so much pain that I thought death would be a better way out. Dr. Bernard has saved my quality of life. I feel better about myself, because everyday my life gets better and better and the pain is almost gone. I am so grateful he is here. I would recommend Dr. Bernard to everyone. I thank him so much. Dr. Bernard is a great gift to people like me who just wanted to die because the pain was so severe. He knows his craft very well, and he just wants everyone to be pain free. Thank you South Mountain Chiropractic."

" I have had a frozen shoulder for several years. I have tried massages and various body work methods. I was very limited in my range of motion. I had trouble reaching, pushing, and I had weakness and pain while sleeping. Dr. Bernard has given me much longer range of motion, and less pain. I would certainly recommend Dr. Bernard to other people. Dr. Bernard, Janetta, and Melissa have been awesome!"

"I have suffered from severe back pain and fatigue for the past 7 years. I have gone through physical therapy, pain management and medication. I had severe back pain from the moment I woke up until I went to bed. I could not participate in activities with my sons and had limitations with daily tasks, including at work. From day one, I felt like a new person. Since then my pain level has dropped dramatically. I have more energy and I am more happy and have less stress. On my first visit, I mentioned I also mentioned I wanted to quit smoking. Dr. Bernard explained to me that he could help me when I was ready. I have tried everything in the past, the patch, the gum, and chantix. I was even hypnotized twice, and nothing would help. After one visit I was a non smoker. It has been one week and I feel great! Dr. Bernard has changed my life!"

" I have had low back and knee pain for the past 6 years. I have gone to therapy treatments, other chiropractors, detox treatments, and had acupuncture. My pain had prevented me from walking normal,and I had to take time out to sit until the pain went away. I was unable to go up and down the stairs.I heard Dr Bernard speak at a health seminar, and found out that he had knee surgery also. Dr. Bernard has helped my pain 100%. I can now go up and down stairs, walk farther and do knee bends. I have already recommended Dr. Bernard to several people. He is a terrific person and doctor. The staff is also terrific and friendly."

" For the past 45 years, I have had to live with allergies. The first ten of those years I was given a weekly allergy shot to try to build immunities to a multiple number of irritants uncluding mold, mildew, bermuda grasses, and a truck load of other pollens. The shots helped to reduce irritation to most of the pollens that I reacted to, however, I continues to experience yearly sinus infections, headaches, and other allergy related symptoms.
Five years ago, I was in the middle of a very bad sinus infections. The only way to get relief from this type of infection was go to the doctor and get a prescription for very expensive antibiotics, and take them for a period of seven to ten days. This time my wife suggested to go to the chiroptactor before I go to the medical doctor. My head was pounding, my teeth ached from the infection that impacted my sinuses. and my nose was totally clogged, so I decided what did I have to lose by going to the chiropractor?
I explained to the chiropractor what was happening, he listened intently and then proceeded to adjust my back and neck. He explained that my spine was like a garden hose that was crimped, restricting water flow ( or information to my brain) and what he was doing was removing the crimp so my body coulf fix itself. He then handed me a box of tissued and told me to sit there for a few mintues.
I thought he was nuts. Suddenly, to my disbelief, my sinuses started to drain, I sat there and proceeded to empty the box of tissues...unbelievable! The next day. the pressure in my head subsided, my teeth stopped hurting, and by the third day my infection was gone!
I have not had a sinus infection now for five years. My allergies flair up once in a while, so a quick trip to Dr Bernard and a few days later I am as good as new!
Sure we need medical doctors... but I'll always stop by the see Dr. Bernard first."

" I had been experiencing extreme fatigue and exhaustion for years, and it had only gotten worse since having to have my thyroid removed two years ago. I was sleeping 9 - 10 hours a night and napping almost everyday for hours and still felt awful. I had tried almost every type of "traditional" medical approach and my regular MD was convinced I was just depressed. I came to Dr. Bernard as my last hope. After several visits using traditional acupuncture and not seeing any real difference right away, I was starting to think this was just the way it was going to be. Dr. Bernard was determined not to give up. He then started using elctro acupuncture, and within a week I was feeling so much better. I haven't had a nap in wekks now and my energy levels are back to normal. I can hardly believe the difference. Thank you Dr. Bernard and South Mountain Chiropractic! You have given me my life back."
