“I am 35 years old and have been seeing Dr. Kathy Burroughs for a little over two months and have seen an incredible amount of improvement. I have been suffering from food allergies for almost seven years now, and Endometriosis since I was 13 years old.

My food allergies had a wide range of reactions. Some of the items I was allergic to just gave me severe cramps and created the feeling of glass going through my intestines and many hours in the restroom with IBS (milk, gluten, avocado, eggs, and many more). My worst reaction was to peppers; I would go into anaphylactic shock. Living in the Napa Valley, it was very difficult and chancy going out for a meal. Not only that, but whenever I went to someone's house for dinner, I would have to discuss the menu or bring my own food. After two sessions with Dr. Burroughs, my food allergies were under control. I was able to eat anything and I do mean anything with no reaction. I no longer feel embarrassed and resistant to go to a restaurant or to someone's home for dinner. I never realized how my allergies had really taken the pleasure out of going out to dinner with my friends and family.

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis in 2000 when I had gone in for emergency survey for an ovarian cyst that was not rupturing. I had been having severe menstrual cramps since I was 13, and they continued to get worse the older I got. I was told by a fertility specialist last year, that the only way that my husband and I would have a baby would be to do IVF. I have spent so many years trying to feel better and get the Endometriosis under control, I really didn't want to do the IVF and trash my body in the process. So I thought I would see what we could do with NMT. I spoke with Dr. Burroughs about this and we did a session on cleaning up the cysts. That night, both Chocolate Cysts that were on each of my ovaries ruptured. Dr. Burroughs helped me through the detoxing and pain caused from the ruptured cysts. We have been working on this for about a month now and I was able to go off the birth control pills I was taking to stop my cycles to prevent the cysts from growing. But the amazing thing is that I was able to go off the pills and have my first cycle in a year and NO PAIN. I mean NO PAIN. A little pressure, but NO CRAMPS. I HAVE NEVER had a cycle where I didn't have severe pain, severe cramping, back spasms and became anemic afterwards. I so wanted to shout from the roof tops, but I felt I would probably be locked up. I now have faith that there will be a little bundle of joy in the future that will bless our family.

The two items noted above are only a couple of the items that Dr. Burroughs has helped me with. There have been issues that I haven't been able to resolve with counselors but she was able to remove the "Bite" "emotional connection" by working on the Morphic Fields.

I look forward to my future treatments with Kathy Burroughs. She not only is very good in what she does but she is very compassionate and easy to be with. She definitely is a healer. Anyone can go to school, do the hard work to be a doctor, but it takes a special kind of person to make it a healing session (warm) instead of a medical appointment (cold).” — Michelle Heller

“I have suffered from chronic back pain for years now. It had become so bad that something as simple as picking up an item dropped on the floor was virtually impossible. Many mornings I found it difficult to even get out of bed. My primary care physician told me that there was nothing wrong with me and I assumed that I would just have to live with the pain. It was then that I made an appointment with Dr. O'Connor. Now, after only two weeks of treatment, I have seen remarkable results. My back pain is 90% gone!” – Steve Cochran

“When I first came to Dr. O'Connor, I wasn't able to walk very well and I couldn't stand up over a couple of minutes. Dr. O'Connor helped me by straightening my back. This has greatly improved my walk and I have almost no pain.” — Carol O'Neal

“I had pain down my right buttock and leg for almost three years off and on. Dr. O'Connor helped me get rid of my sciatica nerve problem completely. All my back pain is now gone.” — Martin O'Neal

“I thought I pulled a muscle in my back and spent two weeks in be using relaxers and pain killers. My condition only worsened. My friends recommended Dr. Kathy O'Connor . I called for an appointment and was seen promptly. I had reservations as I had never been to a chiropractor before. After just a couple of adjustments, I felt I could do cartwheels, but settled for just standing upright again. I now consider Kathy O'Connor my best friend and most enthusiastically endorse her.” — Amy York

“I have been suffering from severe headaches and neck problems since I was a child. I have a slight case of scoliosis and my neck curvature was incorrect. Dr. O'Connor has dramatically reduced the frequency and severity of my headaches through the adjustment of the vertebrae in my cervical spine and back. Following the treatment at the office I find that I feel relaxed and the tension I had before the treatment is gone.
I have seen medical doctors for the headaches and they merely prescribed medications to cover the symptoms rather than actually treating the problem. This does little to help me in the resolution of the problem, but, rather, would make me a drug dependent patient.” — Sonia Hughes

“When I injured my neck and couldn't move without screaming, my daughter insisted I go to Dr. Kathy O'Connor. I did...and the relief from that first adjustment was tremendous. After two or three more visits I felt really great. Recently, I almost canceled a visit because I had such a miserable cold, but I didn't. While she was working on me, Dr. Kathy O'Connor told me the adjustment would help my cold. Well, I can't say I put too much faith in that, so I was greatly relieved and impressed when I woke up the next day with no cold symptoms. I don't mean fewer, I mean NONE. My co-workers were amazed, not only that I showed up for work, but that my cold was completely gone. With a grin, I told them it was a miracle! Thanks, Kathy.”
— Melvia Rowland

“After giving birth to my daughter, Mariah, one of the initial calls I made was to Dr. Kathy O'Connor. The purpose was to have her perform a test to insure Mariah's first vertebra was properly aligned. The birth process can be quite intense on a newborn's vertebrae, and, moreover, there have been studies documented revealing SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) has been directly linked to a misaligned vertebra. A properly aligned vertebra also helps prevent ear infections from developing. We consider this test as important as all other routine checks administered at hospitals. Thank you, Dr. O'Connor, for giving me reassurance and peace of mind that Mariah's little neck and head are in good shape.” — Shira Steiger

“I originally went to Dr. O'Connor for neck spasms that I get when I became overstressed. They went away very quickly. Now I occasionally get treated by Dr. O'Connor to keep my body ‘in check’ and keep it balanced.” — Antimo Rivetti

“I was originally referred to Dr. O'Connor by a friend who is a patient of hers. At the time of my first consultation, I was suffering from dizziness, numbness in both hands and arms, and with stomach problems. I had previously been treated by numerous doctors, but none were able to determine the cause of my symptoms. I noticed a tremendous improvement after only my third visit to Dr. O'Connor. The numbness in my hands and arms is gone, and I no longer suffer from dizziness. The most surprising change is my stomach. I didn't think that it had anything to do with my neck and back. Thanks to Dr. O'Connor my stomach pains have stopped and I feel great. Dr. O'Connor's painless treatment has made a difference fast. I actually have more energy now!”
— Jim Mendoza

“For many years I suffered hip, leg and back pain due to a chronic bad back. After three surgeries, I did not want to have any more. I could not sleep. Sometimes I couldn't walk. I was all stooped over, which created other problems. Although a lifelong skeptic, I was desperate, so I went to Dr. Kathy. In less than two weeks, I was pain free. I could walk straight. I could sleep well. Play golf again. Drive long distances. IT WAS A MIRACLE. If ever I have any kind of pain again, I will see Dr. Kathy!” — Tom Baker

“Being the adventurous sort, I've always been willing to try new activities. First it was mountain biking, then trail running, rollerblading, and most recently snowboarding. All of those activities have led to recurring pain in my back, knees, neck, shoulder, wrists and various other body parts. When the pain became constant, I decided to visit Dr. O'Connor. After only a handful of visits, I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my overall well-being and less frequency in my sports-related injuries. Now I visit Dr. O'Connor so she can keep me in-line, literally.” — Dave Campagna

“I am a mechanic of thirteen years plus. I have been suffering from back and neck pain for half of my career. For the first time in three years Dr. O'Connor has enabled me to be Pain Free. Kathy is a benchmark leader in the chiropractic industry. I would recommend Dr. Kathy O'Connor to anyone.” — Jeff M. Granskog

“I am a Level 10 competitive gymnast who works out 23 hours per week. My sport is very tough on the body, especially when we are learning new moves. Unfortunately, sometimes the moves don't go well and I take a fall landing in a bad position. I have had problems with my neck, back, knees, ankles and the heel of my foot. Because I put so much pressure on my body, I need adjustments to not only keep my body in shape, but to keep me ready for the high level of competition. Competing at this high level would not be possible without the care I receive from Kathy O'Connor.” — Carla DeMartini

“Having never been to a chiropractor before, I was extremely reluctant to go. Upon the recommendation of a relative I called Dr. O'Connor for an appointment. My very first visit made such a remarkable improvement in my condition that I was immediately and completely sold on this method of treatment. Dr. O'Connor was most caring, surprisingly gentle, and constantly checking with regard to my comfort. I was impressed with her ability to explain the problem and the consequent treatment to me in terms I could understand. This procedure so far, has been very successful, so much so that my treatments are less frequent than before. I have recommended Dr. O'Connor to my sister, who is now a patient and I would whole-heartedly recommend Dr. O'Connor, without reservation, to anyone.” — Carolyn Chiado

“Thanks to Dr. O'Connor this is the best my back has felt in over twelve years. I noticed much improvement and was standing straighter after only my first visit. After my third visit I continued to feel even better. I enjoy the fact that I do not have to return constantly to feel this way. One of my biggest concerns about chiropractors was popping and snapping of the spine. Dr. O'Connor's unique pain free technique does not include any twisting or cracking of the spine. Dr. O'Connor is honest and straightfoward. She will tell you upfront whether or not she can help you. She sure made a difference with me.” — Wayne Steele

“Twelve years ago I had injured my neck in an accident. I've gone to several doctors, therapy and chiropractors, none of which could stop the neck pain or the headaches which came almost every day. With advice of my doctor, I agreed to try chiropractic again. I was very hesitant in seeing a chiropractor again. But since seeing Dr. O'Connor, the pain has greatly decreased. I can move my head backwards now when I could not before. My headaches are almost gone now! I highly recommend Dr. O'Connor to anyone who doesn't believe it can work!” — Susan M. Custer

“My neck and shoulder pain was relieved. After a few more visits I could not believe how good I felt. For the first time in many years, I once again had good posture and a relaxed feeling in my neck and shoulders. I can honestly say I feel twenty years younger!” — Nancy Hubbard

“I had headaches for years. Then I started to get them everyday, sometimes three a day, for four months. After Dr. O'Connor adjusted me, my headaches disappeared almost immediately.” — George Bianchi

“As a nurse who has been trained in the medical model, I have always been skeptical of chiropractors. Three months ago when I bent down to pick up my sixteen-month-old son I felt excruciating pain. I ran to my doctor. After six weeks of drugs, tests, and not being able to care for my son, I was begging for surgery to relieve the pain. My surgery was scheduled for a few weeks away. My husband had just been in to see Dr. O'Connor, who was recommended by a friend, for his chronic lower back pain and he was singing her praises. Being desperate for relief, I decided to try her. After my very first visit the pain was immediately relieved. It took another few weeks for me to become pain free, and by then I was convinced. I canceled my surgery, and I'm now running and jumping with my son again!” — Kim Haelen

“A good golf swing won't hurt your back, but my back was misaligned due to years of competitive rodeo. I had lost mobility in my hips and shoulders when rotating. I also had constant neck pain and lower back spasms. All of these things were really hampering my swing. I decided to go to Dr. O'Connor because she had advanced equipment that I had not seen before and her free exam was so complete. Thanks to Dr. O'Connor's type of adjustments and occasional check ups, all the pain is gone. Her type of care gave me complete mobility without pain. As a result I am now hitting the ball longer and straighter than before.” — Pete Adams

“Vertigo and headaches were ailments that brought me to Dr. O'Connor. After my very first visit these symptoms disappeared and I was able to lay on my back without feeling terrible. Incidentally, I'd like to add that I'm pregnant and Dr. O'Connor has kept me from having low back pain. I want her to check my child immediately after the birth for subluxation (spinal misalignment). I really enjoy my visits because of Kathy's open and approachable personality. I have had regular chiropractic care for years due to numerous accidents and I find I'm getting the best results ever from the technique used in my present treatment by Dr. O'Connor.” — Cathy Daly

“When I first went to see Dr. O'Connor, I could barely walk into her office. Dr. O'Connor's method is very different and unique. I was able to walk out that day feeling relief and after just three visits my lower back felt great. Incidentally, I had lost all grip strength in my right hand. Being in the construction industry this was affecting my earning ability. No one had been able to fix it before. I couldn't believe it has come back 100%. I was doing great and then I had another shoulder and thumb injury, so I came back to see Dr. O'Connor. It took just two visits to bring me back to fix the injury.”
— Lee Halstrom

“When I first went to see Dr. O'Connor, it was on a referral from my daughter-in-law. I was skeptical but hopeful, as no other chiropractor and actually fixed my dizziness, low back or knee pain. She totally got rid of all my pain and dizziness and it stayed away! I only have to see her now when I re-injure myself.” — Bob Maddalena

“After being run off the highway by a truck, I was unable to move my neck at all and was in horrible pain. My boyfriend saw Dr. O'Connor's ad in the paper and suggested that I give her a call. Three days later I wasn't any better. I finally called. After my first visit I felt so much better! I was able to move my neck with hardly any pain at all! My pain is completely gone in just several weeks. Dr. O'Connor is wonderful, and a very caring person.” — Deborah Griffin

“I had been having severe lower back pain for the past six years. It was hard to sit or bend over. I also had a pain running down the outside of my leg. Back surgery didn't work neither did medicine. I was walking and standing crooked to help relieve the pain. As a last hope before a second surgery I tried Kathy. After the first visit the pain in my leg was gone. After a few more visits I was standing normally and able to bend over and pick up my granddaughter. I have also sent my father, who had a failed back surgery, in to see Kathy. He also is now pain free. Kathy takes the time to find out where you hurt and helps take the pain away.” — Diane Kelman

“Three months ago I was not a happy camper. I was stressed out and suffered from headaches daily. I had low back pain that shot down my arm and my leg cramped. I could not sleep through the night. I tried anything and everything that was suggested to me. Nothing really worked. One day I let my fingers do the walking. I made an appointment with Dr. Kathy O'Connor. After my first few visits my headaches and stress level reduced to almost nothing. I started to feel relief from all my aches and pains and now I'm a happy camper.” — Robin K. Hammock

“I experienced a sudden attack of extreme pain in my lower back on June 22, 1996, which completely immobilized me. Two painful trips to medical doctors, who prescribed rest and pain medication did nothing to relieve the pain. I stumbled upon one of Dr. O'Connor's ads and in spite of being very skeptical, I decided to give it a try. I was impressed by her sophisticated diagnostic equipment, which indicated that my lower back pain was originating from a problem in my neck. During the first adjustment, I could actually feel the pain dissipating and after a few more treatments, I could pick up my three year old daughter again and go back to work and tend to my garden. I am now virtually free of pain and I am very grateful, that Dr. O'Connor had the equipment and the knowledge to pinpoint the source of my pain and to treat it so effectively.”
— Larry Koagedal
