Dr. Hudak,
I wanted to take a minute to thank you for getting me in so quickly and helping repair my injured quad and knee before the Steelhead 70.3 Half Ironman there in Benton Harbor. As you know, I injured my quad and knee running in an old pair of shoes just two weeks before this race. The shooting pain in my knee was so bad I couldn't even bend it, let alone run. This was only my second triathlon (first was Olympic distance) and my first half Ironman ever. When I injured myself, I was pretty distraught that I had blown over 6 months of intense training and sacrifice and the upcoming race. However, competing in an Ironman event is about never quitting and doing whatever you have to to finish the race. So I started icing it down, stretching like crazy and taking lots of baths to relax the muscles. This along with no running helped get the injury to a place where the pain wasn't constant, but I was only able to run for about 30 mins before it got ubearable. My run usually takes 2 hours! Once I arrived in Benton Harbor, I dicided I better get professional help just to be safe; after all you only get one chance to do a race!? Long story short, you adjusted my uneven hips and had your massage therapist torture...I mean work out the knot in my quad (although it hurt, it was exactly what I needed to be able to get through the race). Ending to the story - I finished the entire race with minimal knee pain and broke my goal of 6 hours, finishing in 5 hrs and 34 minutes.
Thanks to you and your massage therapist I had an excellent race and first Ironman experience. Thanks for helping me achieve the goal of finishing a Half Ironman. I have my sights set on a Full Ironman next year. I hope I don't have to call you.
Sincerely,
Colin Peeler, PhD

"Dr Erik diagnosed my problem as a pinched nerve in my back, started treatment immediately. Within 1-2 weeks I could walk again without much pain. I am now pain free! Both he and his staff are courteous and very solutions oriented. They explained exactly what caused my pain and developed a program to eliminate it."

"My daughter had ear infections every year from when she was a baby until she was 7 years old. She was also developing allergies to different antibiotics which added to the problem. At 6 years old she had tubes put in her ears. A year later when they came out, they were already infected. At that time, a friend told us to try a chiropractor. We did and it cleared up her ear infection plus she hasn't had any since then. She is 20 years old now and periodically goes to the chiropractor when needed.
"I am so thankful that my daughter could be helped the natural way and without medicines. I have referred others who have also gotten the same results. You have nothing to lose by trying the natural way first. God's design is best, so it makes sense to maintain and keep in line what he put together."

Drs. Tom and Erik Hudak and staff,
It is not often that most of us receive great service and that should not go without thanks. I am a recent patient who was suffering from more than 2 years of shoulder, arm and muscle pain but was reluctant to see a Doctor, particularly because of fear of what he would find. I decided that I would schedule a visit with your office first due to the help I had received in the past for some rib injuries.
If you recall Dr. Tom, you mentioned to me on my first visit that from the symptoms, you thought I might benefit from seing an orthopedic surgeon. We decided first to pursue physical treatment with adjustments after finding no real problems through x-rays. From the 2nd visit, my condition improved greatly with very little pain on a daily basis. After several adjustments with you and upon your best recommendation, I started therapy with Dr. Erik. Dr. Erik saw me for 5 or 6 visits, and greatly improved my mobility. I reached a threshold and we felt that regular exercises would allow me to hold my own with this problem. I am virtually pain free, and sleep through the night without waking due to nagging pain.
I wish to convey my gratitude to you Dr. Tom, Dr. Erik and to all your fine staff for their help and that maybe this humble testimonial will help you treat others with similar ailments. A special thanks to Nicole for handling the details and scheduling of the MRI. I don't have a regular doctor and in this case I'm glad I didn't. I was treated most professionally by both the Doctors and the office staff. I am grateful to be virtually pain free, and to function at full capacity at my job.
Sincerest thanks to all of you, Stan Bennett
