15 Years of incapacitating Migraines fixed with Cranial Work and Adjustments
I would like to use this opportunity to thank Timothy Weeks for relief of symptoms and other difficulties that I have had to endure for over the past fifteen years!
I was in a car that stopped on the side of a freeway that was hit by a one ton van. I had been bowling with my friend, and we pulled over because she was feeling sick to her stomach. The drunk driver hit 18 of the reflecting poles on the side of the freeway and didn’t realize he was driving down the shoulder. After he hit us, my friend’s Chevy Sprint rolled down the hill four times before we stopped – upside down. I was rushed to the hospital by a survival flight helicopter where I was treated for 4 months – followed by over a year of intense (daily) outpatient therapy. In addition to hitting my head on the door window and front windshield, a bowling ball hit me in the back of the head – and split in half! I was in a coma for 9 days, and my left hip was shattered. Three weeks later when I was strong enough to handle surgery, the surgeons pieced back the shattered pieces of my hip – using 19 screws and plates to put them back together like a 3-D jigsaw puzzle.
After a year, my many physical therapists were investigating several possible problems that may have been contributing to my slow recovery – especially in the areas related to walking. Two of my therapists’ felt there must be additional problems in addition to weakened muscles on my left side. When they measured my leg length (from heel to my hip bone) they determined that my left leg was now shorter than my right leg. For over 15 years I have walked with a ½” orthopedic left in my left shoe. Dr. Weeks initial x-ray of my hip (while standing) showed the opposite problem – their corrective lift was actually displacing my hip in the opposite direction!
Correcting this problem was amazing – and continues to please me every day. Yet this was not the MAIN reason that I am very thankful to Dr. Timothy Weeks. As I mentioned I hit my head at least twice while our car was rolling down the hill – and a bowling ball broke on the back of my head! Three initials: TBI.
TRAMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI): I have had migraine headaches almost every day since that fateful night. At least 4 or 5 days each month I would be incapacitated – unable to think or do anything productively. Aspirin, Tylenol, and most other medicine do not help – even a little.
I was no too sure about Dr. Weeks methods (at first) when he asked me to press my thumb up into the roof of my mouth as he ‘adjusted’ the back of my skull. However, in the past 6 weeks, I have had only ONE migraine headache – and that was a fairly minor one. Adjusting my neck and skull plates work – WOW! Relief that many specialists in the areas of TBI and head pain have not been able to provide – even with strong medication! Better yet, this is NOT relief from a problem, it has corrected – and prevented the pain.
THANK YOU DR. WEEKS

SHOULDER PAIN SINCE 1988 90% IMPROVED AND I CAN HEAR AGAIN
After my second session the hearing in my left hear started to come back from total complete deafness - at least the high frequency.
My left arm which was injured in 1988 and caused limited motion is 90% improved.

BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN GONE - I CAN PLAY GOLF AGAIN
I recently completed an eight week program that focused on my shoulder and back. Frankly, had someone told me beforehand how much would have been accomplished; I would not have believed it.
I have had back issues for at least 25 years, probably longer. Every golf season I know I am going to spend a pretty good chunk of time hurting—and taking an awful lot of painkillers. This golf season has been amazingly different. Recently, my wife and I played six times over a 13 day period and not ONE day was I in pain. The morning after playing I was able to get out of bed, stand straight and tall, and look forward to the day.
While my shoulder is still not perfect yet, it is much better than when we started. It made it through that 13 day golf trip just fine and I was able to play two days in a row when arriving home. Trust me when I say that would not have happened last year or the year before.
I would highly recommend Dr. Weeks services to anyone looking for a better quality of life. He obviously not only knows what he is doing but truly derives a great deal of satisfaction from doing it right. It is wonderful having a healthcare practitioner who seems as highly invested in a positive outcome as I am.
It has been a great pleasure working with him I look forward to continuing working together to keep me on the golf course and in the weight room. Thanks for everything.
Sincerely,
Alan S
SEVERE STOMACH AND GALLBLADDER PAINS THAT I HAVE HAD FOR YEARS FIXED
I came to Dr. Weeks with severe pains in my upper stomach region of which I had for 2 years and had been to several specialists including Upper GI's, general surgeons, etc. I was given suggestions of a backed up gallbladder of which was recommended to remove (I'm only 28!), that my stomach was digesting food too slowly so it was gaining acid while sitting too long causing problems, an ulcer, and possible hernia but no one was "definite". I had been through ultrasounds, cat scans, and two endoscopies and was baffled that specialist couldn't pinpoint a problem that was in one particular spot in my abdomen. When I came to Dr. Tim he did muscle testing on me and was able to tell me in my first vist that my diaphragm was extremely tight causing the pain. He adjusted me and moved the diaphragm down along with giving me the nutrient Zypan and my stomach pain went away. I wish I came to him before all the extensive specialist treatments but am truly thankful for finding someone that could "hit the nail on the head".

BACK PAIN GONE, NUTRITION BALANCED AND I DON'T GET SICK ANYMORE
Coming to Dr. Tim Weeks for my back situation was one of the best moves in my life. I am so very happy that I have someone to go to when my back gets out of shape. You have been a great help. I have been also looking for someone who could help me with what food supplements I should take for better health and didn’t realize at the time that you work in that area of health also. I do feel real good and full of energy and pep. Over the winter I have had fewer colds and flu symptoms and what I have seemed very minor and I go over things very quickly. Most people my age are on a lot of drugs and medications. Two doctors tried to prescribe potent medication for me and I resisted. I got them to admit that I didn’t really need those drugs they tried to put me on. The side effects of the drugs were horrible. So by now you have probably read the results to my blood test and ever things seem to be within normal limits. I am quite happy about that and feel the food supplements you offer have helped greatly

NECK CONDITION THAT I'VE DEALT WITH FOR YEARS
I began weekly visits with Dr. Tim for a neck condition that I’ve dealt with for many years. I brought it to Dr. Tim’s attention after having trouble “holding my head up” at certain times. Quite often it was difficult to find a comfortable position in bed so my neck wouldn’t hurt.
After weekly visits for a few months we re-X-rayed my neck and spine and saw the results. I’m sleeping much better and not feeling like I don’t have the strength to hold my head up anymore. No pills, nothing drastic, just good old spinal manipulation with a competent chiropractor.
Thank you Dr. Tim

NEUROPATHY CURED
I am a 56 year old woman who was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy in August. Since then I have seen 4 neurologists, had 6 shock treatments on my legs, had a Doppler test done to check circulation, seen a podiatrist and a rheumatologist, and had an MRI done on my back. I have had numerous blood tests to check for diabetes, vitamin B-12 deficiency, thyroid problems, ANA levels, etc. All tests were negative toward finding a cause for the neuropathy. As a result, my current neurologist said there could be a thousand causes for the neuropathy and unless a cause was found her only help for me was pain medication.
I asked my neurologist if chiropractic or acupuncture could help, and she replied possibly acupuncture, but probably not a chiropractor.
Aproximately one month ago (June) I was being refitted for orthotics to help me walk with less pain. During a conversation with the certified Podiatrist who made my orthotics, he told me about a chiropractor who had helped his wife with muscle pain. He shared the name and phone number with me.
You must understand, I was very skeptical of chiropractors – as many of us are. I nevertheless made an appointment with him. After ninety minutes of an explanation of my condition and general health questions, X-rays were taken. I then made an appointment for an adjustment. The doctor’s name was Tim Weeks, with a specialty in Applied Kinesiology.
Two weeks and 5 adjustments later much of the pain in my feet and legs has subsided. I feel much better in general as well. I am starting on a regiment of herbs and nutritional supplements.
This young doctor has helped me more in 2 weeks than any other medical doctor has helped me in almost 3 years and many, many thousands of dollars of testing.
Now, why did I write this information? Because, I feel there are so many more people enduring the pain and debilitating of neuropathy that are not getting relief. It would be selfish of me not to share this information with you and them.
A poem I wrote for Dr. Tim Weeks
Dr. Timothy Weeks

LOW BACK BETTER - I CAN WALK AND STAND AGAIN
I had been suffering from chronic low back pain for at least 2 years – it was the kind of pain that radiates down your legs and makes your hips ache so that sleep is sometimes impossible. Walking and standing had become almost impossible to do for any period of time.
I disliked being on prescription medicines but when the pain became so severe I did use the muscle relaxants and painkillers. Although they brought some pain relief, all they were doing was MASKING whatever were my back problems.
I also tried physical therapy and although that also did help relieve the pain, it wasn’t FIXING the problem either.
While attending the Medina Home show I heard a young man talking about his brother’s chiropractic care. Well, after walking thru the show and up and down stairs my back and hips were complaining big time – so I had no hesitation in deciding to sign up for a consultation.
You know the saying “had I only known”? Well, had I only known what a difference it would make I would have seen a chiropractor the first time I had back pain. I probably would have been fixed quicker and had less damage done.
In just two months I feel so great. I can walk and stand for long periods without any pain. I am able to do my gardening and housework with no pain. I feel like a young person again.
Due to the arthritis in my low spine I will have to have maintenance done – but at the age of 58 years I don’t mind. Just like an older car – to keep it running well you need to maintain it.
Thank you Dr. Tim Weeks

Most informative, I have a better understanding of my body. It is not good to take a lot of medicine into the body but to use more natural ways to heal and correct it – by watching what I eat, exercise and rest. Also my attitude is half the battle. Dr. Tim has helped me to arrive at a much better understanding.

BETTER ENERGY, HOT FLASHES GONE, I CAN MOVE AGAIN - I'M FEELIING ALIVE AGAIN
Since I have been coming to Dr. Tim I have been feeling much better than I have for years. I have been so tired with no energy, hot flashes, achy, stiff, I feel like my memory is awful, was very irritable and I have been living in a fog. After 2 weeks on no sugar and carbohydrates. I couldn’t believe the difference. I have more energy, less fogginess’, my stiffness and aches are much better. I feel like I can move again, I even started cleaning out closets. Also I have been doing some of the things I enjoy. Before, I was just doing what I had to do. When I get up I don’t feel as tired as I did when I went to bed. Before, I was always tired no matter how much sleep I got.
Thanks to Dr. Tim I feel I might be back on track losing weight, I’m enjoying feeling alive again, not like I’m loosing my mind.

I CAN SLEEP AGAIN
I was very pleased with my progress in such a short time. It was great to see how much better I feel and how much better I am sleeping.

NO MORE ANXIETY
"When I came to Dr. Tim, I told him that I had been on the antidepressant Prozac along with Xanax for anxiety attacks. He explained to me different causes of the symptoms of depression and anxiety and how alot of it is due to sugar sensitivy and other nutrition imbalances in the body. He had done muscle testing on me with different nutrients which showed my adrenal glands were very weak. He put me on a few nutrients and I was able to wean off of my medications. It's been 4 months now and I haven't had one anxiety attack and feel like I have so much more energy and am not tired all the time like I was. It's amazing how easy drugs are prescribed when symptoms can be treated naturally".

BALANCED CHEMISTRY, EMOTIONS AND STRUCTURE
Dr. Weeks is educating me about the ‘whole’ body. How chemical, spiritual and physical imbalance can lead to stresses in the body. I have been fascinated at the process to date and I am hopeful that I adapt and change my lifestyle – It will be a new journey to wellness!
Dr. Weeks is very easy to talk with and to be very honest with. Many thanks for the back work and help!

I WAS READY FOR CHANGE - JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
I was ready for change. I was having trouble with my right hip and back. It was interfering with long walks, roller skating and gardening. My neck would feel like it would no longer hold up my head after working on the computer, reading, etc. I was constantly rubbing it. My energy level was not what it used to be. I knew it was time to make a change. That’s when I heard Dr. Tim was coming to our church to talk about “Body by God”. I thought this must be God’s timing, so I encouraged my husband to go to the “talk” with me (He has his own testimonial)
I knew I was eating too much sugar. I wanted to get on a better nutritional program, plus I was having some other problems that come along as we get older. I was not sure where to start. I felt I needed more help than trying to do this myself.
The time had come to see Dr. Tim. Dr. Tim was just what I was looking for. Not only was he a chiropractic doctor but also into wellness.
Dr. Tim took his time with me. I did not feel rushed or hurried. I felt he went out of his way gladly to get any information I needed and answer any question I might have. He listened patiently. He gave me names of books I could read and mentioned products I could use. He did some test to see where I was nutritionally.
I found him to be very thorough in his examinations. He found things other doctors had not. He manipulated in all the right places. I would leave the office feeling good.
I am on the path to wellness. My hip pain barely bothers me when I am skating or walking. Gardening will have to wait till spring. My neck is much stronger. My nutrition is getting better. I am fortunate in that my husband Joe and I are doing this together. It really helps to have somebody with the same goals.
The other thing that I want to mention is the office. Linda and Jill are friendly and efficient. To me this is just as important as having a good doctor.
I would recommend Dr. Tim and his office to anyone who wants to live the rest of their life being the best and healthiest they can be.

PAIN BETWEEN SHOLDER BLADED AND LOW BACK GONE
My experience with Dr. Tim is very satisfying. I came in with lower back pain on the right side and some pain between my shoulder blades. Now, thirty days later the dull pain I would have for a few hours a day is gone. I no longer have pain when I stand or walk a couple miles a day at work. I fee a lot better. On a scale from 1 to 10 I feel 7.5 to 8.5.
The office staff, Linda and Jill, are very friendly and helpful with the scheduling, processing and billing. It makes for a pleasant experience.

FOOT PAIN HELPED
I know that I would receive help for the physical problems because I’ve had chiropractic adjustment in years past. Dr. Weeks was recommended to me and I knew this was where I should go. Dr Weeks treats the whole person – not just where the pain is. I’ve had feet problems for the past few years and no on would listen to what I felt was wrong. Dr Weeks has been treating the problems and there is improvement and I know this will continue. I don’t intend to run the Boston Marathon but I do like to walk without pain. :-)
Thank you Dr. Weeks and God bless you all.

CARPEL TUNNEL FIXED
I met Dr. Weeks by chance 4 days before I was going to have carpal tunnel surgery on both hands. I decided to give his treatments a chance and postpone surgery. He not only fixed my carpal tunnel with cold laser therapy and adjustments, but my problems that I have had for many years, such as neck back and arm pain due to 2 bulging discs in my neck that I wasn’t even aware of. I feel the best that I have felt in years. It was truly a blessing the day we crossed paths.

NECK PAIN FIXED
It is always a pleasure coming in to the office, both Linda and Jill always smile and make you feel welcome. Dr. Weeks definitely cares about his patients overall health. I am so happy not to have neck pain.

A DOCTOR WHO TREATS THE WHOLE PATIENT
Dr. Weeks is a gifted diagnostician with a bold but sensitive approach to the WHOLE patient. His procedures are smooth and strong. He is a “listener”. When I leave his office I feel that I am renewed in mind, body, and spirit… I feel whole and integrated with a touch of inner peace. I believe it’s a “miracle, a touch of which we all need!
Linda is more than competent, always cheerful and loving and gives the patients a touch of friendship and a lot of one-on-one help.
Jill is the quiet on with the smile that lights a dark morning in winter and a gentle voice that touches discomfort and pain.
The office is filled with laughter, joy and a lot of affection, all of which are strong healing components of the physical ministry.

MY BACK PAIN WAS UNBEARABLE
I met Dr. Timothy Weeks at the Medina County Health Fair on Sept 16th. He fitted me with orthotics – examined and X-rayed me in his office for my painful back on Sept 25th. There continued 3 times a week for 6 weeks with much success. My back pain had been unbearable, I could hardly get around. As of Nov. 28th I’m on every other week schedule and doing well.
I found Dr. Weeks to be a compassionate, determined doctor to make me as mobile and pain free as possible and I highly recommend him.

I CAN MOVE MY NECK AGAIN
My name is Lou Sattelmaier and I have raced a jet engine powered vehicle for over 20 years. After retiring, I had problems with my neck. My range of motion was very limited. However, Doctor Tim Weeks made the needed adjustments and now I can move my neck with ease – a job well done. Thank God for Dr. Tim Weeks.

10 YEARS OF BACK PAIN HEALED AND NO MORE ALEVE
My pain is my lower back occurred about 10 years ago. Whenever I would stoop to work in my garden, flower bed, clean the floor etc. my lower back would really ache. I took Aleve for the reduction of the inflammation and it would help. After 10 years of this ache and Aleve in July at the sweet corn festival in Lodi, Dr. Weeks offered a scan of my spine. He offered an exam for a minimal amount because he said he could help me.
The first visit was very informative by explanation and a video. He has relieved my pain by adjustments and I will continue my maintenance treatments and a few natural vitamins for feel the way I do now. I haven’t taken Aleve since my first visit.

INSTANT RELIEF
I have had back problems for a little over 10 years. Last episode was very bad so I called Dr. Weeks and he saw me right away.
That same day he was able to give me instant relief. I’ve been coming since that day and my back feels great.
Everyone here is extremely nice which makes it a much more pleasant experience.
