Some Comments From a Few of Our Patients:
Definitely Incredible
"I had a severe lower back injury a few years back. I went through chiropractic care to get me back on my feet, but never got back to 100%. I met Dr. Greg at a martial arts dojo, and decided to make an appointment with him. It has been one of the smartest decisions that I have made! Not only did he spot a problem that went under the radar (that may have been the problem in the first place!), but went on to give me some advice as to how to maintain better health for my specific situation. He's done more for me in 2 visits than other health practitioners have done for me in 2 years! I cannot thank him enough!!"

Back to Myself

Feeling Great
"My shoulder's and neck have never felt better! I didn't know I could feel this good."

Not Just A Chiropractor
"I've never been to a chiropractor before and I had some serious lower back pain. After a thorough muscle test and examination, Dr. Greg determined I had a slight disc herniation. I was in a lot of pain and Dr. Greg didn't focus on making adjustments and instead focused on trying to ease the pain and reduce inflammation. Both Dr. Greg and Dr. Dana take a sports medicine approach to their practice promoting full body wellness and health. I feel much better after my visit and will return to reduce my chances of re-aggravating the injury."

Magic Hands
"You can tell how much someone cares by his or her touch. Dr. Dana has healing hands ... "magic hands" I call them. There is warmth, strength and a sincere desire to make her patients feel well and whole. She has a wonderful gift and she shares it. Thank you!"

Back In The Game
"I can't say enough for the treatment that Dr Dana & Dr Greg have given my son. He was injured in Spring Football and after 2 MRI's his trainer told him to go home and find a surgeon. We found Functional Health Chiropractic instead. Dr Greg worked with him for 2 months and he feels great! He is stronger, healthier and had 2 toughdowns in last weeks game. thank you FHC!!! You're the BEST!"

Fixed Me Up Right Quick
"Dr. Dana took me in right away and diagnosed my upper back/neck problem within minutes. Great overall knowledge of the body and wellness. You can she is client focused, rather than business focused (like many other DC's I've been to). Highly recommended."

Amazing Results
"Wow, I have never experienced the technique and discussion about how your body can function properly. I have been in twice, and both times I am better by the time I leave. They are able to fix areas that I didn't even realize where causing problems. I will highly recommend you to all of my friends, family, and contacts!"

Blown Away
"I was highly skeptical, having a "less than desirable" chiropractic experience in the past. After one session with Dr. Dana, I can honestly say, I'm hooked for life. The hip stiffness I was experiencing prior to our session is GONE! Unbelievable. More importantly though. I feel her expertise across a wide range of integrative health practices will support me for a lifetime. This is the future of health, wellness and "medicine". How lucky for me to have found Dr. Dana! I encourage others to check this wonderful resource out for themselves."

One of the best Chiropractors I have ever had.
"Wow, I am amazed at Dr. Hollandsworth's knowledge and treatment. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends."

Post Accident
"Dr. Dana Matthews and Dr. Greg Hollandsworth are the friendliest and most knowledgeable chiropractors I have ever met. From the moment you walk into their office, you feel at ease and comfortable. They clearly show their passion for what they do and you can relax knowing that you're under good hands. I came to see Dr. Matthews due to severe neck and shoulder pain that I experienced after a car accident. She not only took the pain away, but also showed me several stretches that I can do at home to prevent it from coming back. Dr. Matthews and Dr. Hollandsworth don't just give quick fixes, they look at the problem as a whole and find ways to prevent it from returning. I highly recommend this place to everyone. "

Different Approach
"Dr Dana and Dr Greg have a different approach. They are much more gentle than any other chiropractor I've been to. They massage trigger points that relax the tendons and/or muscles and actually increase strength in trouble spots. This method is definitely worth trying out."

Eczema
Dylan came into our office because his mom said "You have to go see Dr. Greg, he is amazing." Dylan had eczema among some other aches and pains.
After his first treatment which included some testing to find out where his body needed extra suppport, he called us up to say; "I don't know what Dr. Greg did, but my eczema is gone. Thank you."

Back Pain... Better
"They're so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and are really good at what they do! I'd say I'm of average fitness, and came with some pretty serious back pain and Dr Greg was great at making me feel comfortable and doing a full muscles test to treat the issues. These two love what they do and do it well! Highly recommended."

Knee Issues
"I went to Dr. Greg for a bad knee and sore back. Having had knee surgery, I was struggling with recovering and being pain free. I was referred and I "walked" out alot better. Thought of them again when I had my vertigo returned during allergy season and left near cured and with 24 hours, 100% better. You just cant convey it until you experience it! Highly recommend."

More Than Just Chiropractors
"I'm so thankful to have been introduced to Dr. Dana and Dr. Greg. They do so much more than just chiropractic. Dr. Dana has helped me with shoulder issues, helped improve my memory, balance out vitamin deficiencies, identify food and body care products that were not agreeing with my system and so much more. I love that they focus on the body as a whole. I learn something new each time I go in! You will simply be amazed at the work they do!"

Energy Reboot
"Okay, for two and a half days I was EXHAUSTED. For those of you who know me...that is NOT my usual state. But I just couldn't shake the exhaustion. Then I got adjusted and oh my god. It is amazing. I feel SO PERKY and better. I really am surprised how quickly and how much better I feel. I knew it would help but WOW. The change was almost immediate. Thank you so much!"

A New (and educated) Fan
Cheryl came in unable to put on blouses or jackets because of the pain in her shoulder. When asked to do so, she would not even try it because she said it was too painful. Here's what she said after her first visit:
"My first experience with Chiropractic care was awesome! Bad form in some of my workouts seemed to cause tightness in an arm muscle. Over time, shoulder pain followed. The pain I felt for months was gone before I left the office. Thank you for teaching me about functional health and how to be more aware of the way my muscles work! I look forward to my next visit!"
- Cheryl E., Schaumburg, IL

I'll be Back!
"Wow! Dr Dana and Dr Greg are absolutely the best chiropractors that have ever treated me. I have been to a handful of other places for an adjustment, but at Functional Health I was very pleased to find that the doctors are genuinely concerned about my long term health and well being. They are warm, engaging and great at what they do. Each time I leave I feel immensely better than when I walked in the door. I will definitely be coming back for years!"

I Like it Here

A Case of Over Exercising
Sandhya came in after over exercising the night before. Here is what she said:
"My right low back seized up. I was walking around, bent over to the side like a banana. In a lot of discomfort. I got treated and I felt much better and kept feeling better all afternoon. That same day I taught a Yoga class and was amazed because I was moving like a 25 year old again. Out of pain and feeling great. Thanks."

Insomnia and Anxiety
Ann came in with pain in both shoulders. She was anxious, stressed out and could not sleep. She felt like life was overwhelming and she was not enjoying herself.
After her first treatment, she came in 2 weeks later and said "I feel like a new woman, thank you and my husband thanks you. I am sleeping better, my shoulders are feeling much better. I can do things around the house again and I feel a lot more calm. I've been walking 2 hours every other day and even my dog thanks you."

A Sinus Infection Lead to Hearing Problems
Meet "Oko" short for Naoko. She came into our office in October with a sinus infection that she had for the past 2.5 months. Her sinus's had gotten so clogged up that she could not hear out of her right ear and only had partial hearing out of her left ear. She had already been to her doctors and they had given her antibiotics and even steroid injections to help clear it up but nothing had helped. She happened upon us via a referral and came in hoping we could help her get some of her hearing back.
Her husband came in the room with her for her first visit so that he could explain what was going on with her, since it was hard for her to hear the questions. Midway through her first treatment Oko said "I can hear a little better out of my left ear."
We treated her twice over a 2 week period and when she came in for her 3rd visit she proclaimed "My hearing is back! Thank you so much. You don't know how awful it was to not be able to hear out of that ear."

Healing from a Car Accident
I believe that Dr. Dana is a natural healer. She listens to my words and to my body in ways that only a healer can. I came to her practice when I was injured in a serious car accident. I suffered from a seat belt fracture of the spine. She took on the challenge with encouragement and a course of therapy that brought relief from the discomfort and helped me regain all my physical abilities better than before the accident. She was gentle with the adjustments and mindful of my comfort level.
