I had symptoms of right lower leg pain and ankle stiffness and swelling and back pain. I have been experiencing this pain for approximately eight months. In the past, I have consulted physical therapy for these symptoms. I also was taking Avinza to relieve the pain.
I have seen a chiropractor in the past but not for these symptoms. Dr. Grossinger, a local neurologist, referred me. I did have my doubts but my first impression of the office and staff was a friendly, informative and very professional environment. My treatment recommendations were adjustments and massage two times a week.
Since treatment I am able to walk better, my low back pain is less frequent and pain in my leg is not as bothersome as before. I would recommend chiropractic care to others. Chiropractic care is rated #1 and it makes you feel better without the drugs.

I consulted Dr. Marks with the disorder Sciatica. I believe in routine maintenance adjustments. My symptoms included a sore lower back and pain shooting down the back of my leg. The pain was located in the lower back, buttock and upper leg. If I do not keep my routine appointments (every 5-6 weeks) I get very sore.
In the past, previous treatments included stretching. This always helped but only relieves for short term. I have been on pain medications and anti-inflammatory drugs, Tylenol and Advil. This relieves the symptoms only short term and I do not believe in taking medications constantly. I have been to a chiropractor before when I lived in Hershey, PA. I had a back injury from lifting in 1990. The physician had me on medications, massage, and heat. I did not feel like this gave me the best relief. That is when I decided to see a chiropractor.
At first, I was unsure if chiropractic would help but after asking a lot of questions, reading and being very comfortable with my chiropractor, I knew I was on the right path. The staff and Dr. Marks received me very well.
The service is prompt and questions are answered. Appointment setting is very easy; they take very good care of their patients. Dr. Marks recommended exercise, good diet, routine adjustments, and good posture. My body tells us how long the adjustments hold. My results have been exactly what I expected. After each visit, I feel taller and healthier! I am hardly ever sick or have problems with my allergies, or have to take medicine.
I highly recommend chiropractic, especially to those people who believe your body has the ability to heal itself (with the help of chiropractic!), instead of masking the pain with medications.

I was experiencing an inflamed sciatica nerve. I had very severe pain which prevented me from standing more than five minutes. I was unable to walk any distance. The pain was mainly located on left side of my body and my left leg. I experienced this pain for more than a month.
The only other treatment I had previously was massage therapy, which did help tremendously. I only took over-the-counter pain medication to help reduce the inflammation. I never had seen a chiropractor before. I knew that the problem I had needed adjustments to the spine and back area. There was no doubt in my mind; I just knew that was what I needed.
I had excellent impressions of this office. Everyone is very friendly and caring. Based on my condition, my chiropractor suggested seeing a surgeon to confirm his diagnosis. My results are fantastic; I had about nine treatments with Dr. Marks. He explained my condition in understanding level. I felt secure.
Without question, I would highly recommend chiropractic in healing the body. On a scale from 1-10, it is definitely a 10!

I consulted Dr. Marks for degeneration of the lumbar spine. I experienced intense pain in my lower back and in kidney area, “shooting” pain down both my legs from buttocks to knees. The pain was so intense that “If I had a gun, I would have shot myself, but I didn’t even have the strength to pull the trigger.” I would collapse to the floor and any movement at all caused pain. I could not walk without a cane for support. The pain persisted until I saw Dr. Marks. I have never taken any drugs for my condition because drugs only mask the symptoms, they do not address the cause. I have had chiropractic treatment previously in 1996 for the same symptoms and received immediate relief. However, I felt so well I did not perform the recommended exercises or obtain ‘maintenance’ adjustments.
Consequently, 10 years later I am in pain again. But I have learned my lesson and now I am following the program. I had been to an orthopedic surgeon who perform X-rays and diagnosed a ‘strained muscle’ that would never get better. No course of therapy was suggested by the surgeon, and then a friend of mine who had been helped by chiropractic treatment recommended I try chiropractic. I had no doubt chiropractic would work – “traditional medicine did not recognize or address the problem.”. Dr. Marks has a caring and professional staff and empathetic doctors who understood, clearly explained and successfully treated my problem.
Initially, Dr. Marks recommended rest and ice compression for my pain. Once the irritation subsided, a series of easy exercises were suggested – by the way, are working. No drugs, no operations, just a simple adjustment! I actually walked out of the office without using my cane! I would absolutely recommend chiropractic – I am pain free and fully mobile again without the recourse to drugs and surgery! Being pain free gives me a more positive attitude. I feel great and I can think more clearly. I am sure I am more pleasant to be around, so I am not the only one reaping the benefits.
To paraphrase Karl Marx, “People of the world, adjust! You have nothing to lose but your pains!”

In January 2006, I fell 22 feet through the floor of a building in New Jersey and landed on the right side of my body. I experienced no pain immediately after the fall. Later in the hospital, the staff tried to remove my right boot and I felt excruciating pain and passed out! I was in a coma for 14 days. I had two bilateral fractures and shattered hip, pelvis, and femur. I also experienced right shoulder and elbow pain, right hip and leg pain, muscle spasms, and nerve damage on my right side. The hospital doctors told me it would be two to three years before I could walk again. The staff always told me to “keep wiggling those toes.” I was given painkillers such as Percocet, Morphine, Vicodin, Maxidon; antibiotics and blood-thinning medications and air pressure socks to massage and keep constant circulation in my legs. I spent nine months performing stretches and exercises in physical therapy in the hospital and at Dynamic Physical Therapy centers. The pain was extensive about 60% of the time.
After nine months, I was able to walk with a cane. However, I was still having chronic pain from the metal implants placed in my right side of the body. Dr. Bruce Grossinger referred me to Dr. Marks for the relief of the pain. I was scared to death to see a chiropractor.
I never been to a chiropractor before – I heard from friends “it’s just cracking of bones.” I was extremely nervous not knowing what to expect. Dr. Marks relieved me of my fear with his good bed-side manner. The therapists are very knowledge of their tasks. Everyone in this office is calm, pleasant, and helpful. Dr. Marks recommended regular adjustments, massage therapy, cold laser therapy, and rehabilitation.
After four months of chiropractic care and treatments, I am able to walk without the cane and my pain has been reduced tremendously!
I am completely amazed – never thought chiropractic care would make such a difference!

My two-year-old son, Anthony, suffers from chronic ear infections. Anthony has experienced ear infections since he was 6 months old. He had two sets of tubes placed in his ears. The right tube fell out. We had tried several different antibiotic treatments – each time a stronger drug was needed to cure the ear infections. Since starting chiropractic care in October 2006, Anthony has not suffered from any ear infections despite some minor colds.
I cannot believe how well chiropractic has worked for Anthony. He is so much better and gets over his colds much faster too! Thank you!

I just moved to Delaware area a few months ago. I contacted Dr. Marks office in regards to having two herniated discs in L5 and a newer herniated disc in L4 region. I have experienced sleepless nights due to the constant tingling and numbness. I felt weak from my waist down. I have also experienced difficulty moving from one position to another. On a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the best, 10 being the worst) I was at a seven.
My back problems started 20 years ago; I was diagnosed with one herniated disc. I had no surgery but had a derivative of papaya. I have had physical therapy, pain management specialists, and other chiropractors. I was taking two Tylenol PM at nighttime. Over the years,
I have found chiropractic to ease my chronic pain. I had no doubts chiropractic would help me. My first impression of the office and their staff was awesome. Everyone was very professional. Explanations were clear and concise. To start Dr.Marks recommended treatment 3x week.
After my first visit, my pain level went from a 7 to a 3. It was amazing! I believe! I believe! I have already started spreading the word!
