“REAL LETTERS FROM REAL PEOPLE” “The Pain Had Become Debilitating and Took My Breath Away.” “Do you know what it is like to live with pain everyday? The pain in my lower back and neck had become intolerable. The interesting thing was, I didn’t know how bad the pain was until nearly a year after Dr. McCluskey’s treatment. It had become the king of pain that gets to be like background noise – I was living with it without realizing how much my life was organized around managing it. After I had injured my neck in an auto accident, my family physician recommended anti-inflammatory medications and muscle relaxants. When that didn’t help, I spent several weeks in physical therapy. In a separate incident I was treated in the same manner for a “bulged disk”, a work related injury. All this was years before I came crawling into Dr. McCluskey’s office on the recommendation of a friend. The pain had become debilitating and took my breath away. Rebecca Cline, LISWDr. McCluskey took a series of x-rays and explained that the problem in my neck was more severe than the problem in my back, was acute and needed treatment. His wonderful staff assisted me through treatments including ultra-sound, heat, and electric stimulation. Then, Dr. McCluskey used the Activator to begin realigning my spine. The pain relief was immediate. I walked out of the Dr’s. office at least a half-inch taller! Even my husband commented on how much taller I was after that first treatment. The Activator Dr. McCluskey uses provides gentle, non-invasive and extremely respectful relief from pain. It gently nudged my spine back into alignment and over time the pain in my back disappeared. I am now able to run on a treadmill – before treatment I couldn’t even walk on a treadmill without pain. Then my job changed and I began driving all over the State of Ohio. Within six months of taking my new job, the neck massages I demanded my husband give me were useless to alleviate the knots, headaches, and pain. It was time to deal with the results of multiple whiplash injuries that had never been treated effectively. Dr. McCluskey told me it would take time and perseverance, but if I was willing to go the distance he promised a pain free life. It took about 6 months of regular treatments and learning new exercises that I continue to use today. My treatments ended nearly a year and a half ago and I continue to be amazed and ever so grateful for the pain free life I am currently living. The background noise is gone. I now enjoy a life of fitness and vitality. No longer is it necessary to compensate for lower back or neck pain. When I drive across the State I can now enjoy the beautiful scenery of Ohio. I attribute this wonderful breakthrough to Dr. McCluskey, his training, his wonderful staff, and his use of the Activator. It’s sometimes difficult to remember the life I used to live. I will be forever grateful for my new pain free life”. Sincerely, Rebecca Cline, LISW, Medina, OH ~ patient since 2002 “I Was Ecstatic About My Appointment. But When I Got There The Nerves Set In...” “I was recently in an auto accident where I suffered a neck injury. While feeling nothing at first, about a week later I could not turn my head to the left. After talking to some friends who had their chiropractic experiences, I decided to call one. I called Dr. McCluskey based on convenient location and I am really glad I did. They got me an appointment right away, and the receptionist assured me they could help. After a week of pain and having to take care of 2 small kids, I was ecstatic about my appointment. But when I got there the nerves set in and I was afraid of the twisting & cracking. When I met Dr. McCluskey all my fears & nerves were gone. He made me feel comfortable & with the x-rays he showed me exactly what was wrong & how he would fix it. I first started with massages. I was in heaven and it really worked. The pain slowly went away & by the end of the hour I felt better. Then I got ultrasound & cold laser therapy, both were very soothing. I then got moist heat (my favorite) & the Activator adjustment. No pain just a few clicks and I felt better instantly. After a few weeks of treatment the pain disappeared. I started rehab visits, where I had the traction machine massage my back & neck & I did exercises to strengthen my neck muscles. It was a lot of visits but well worth it. My neck pain from the accident is gone & I don’t get the sinus & tension headaches I used to anymore. I can actually wake up without pain and enjoy my days at home with my kids. Thanks for all your help, Dr. McCluskey, & all my friends at your office!” ~ Renee Bridges, Parma “I Love The Activator…It Is Very Pain-Free, Gentle, Surprisingly Pleasant.” <>“Upper and lower back pain. Left knee, left upper foot, left heel spur, both wrists from sprains, possible TMJ. The pain in my lower back showed immediate improvement/upper back after a couple treatments. Other parts feeling relief. Activator Treatment: Wonderful! It is very pain-free, gentle, surprisingly pleasant. I have gone to other chiropractors and I usually left hurting. I love the Activator because it makes me feel better. Cold Laser: My foot problems are not as severe. Jaw problem seems some relief. Gentle, relaxing, definitely pain free, you cannot feel anything. The profession that it relieves pain from scar tissue and other forms of pain and it appears to be true. Thank you, Dr. McCluskey.” ~ Diane Taylor, Vermilion “The Thought Of The ‘Crack Your Back’ Method Made Me Nervous.”“Migraine headaches-left side. My headaches have improved-they are less severe and occur less often. Activator Treatments: Pain free, gentle. The thought of the ‘crack your back’ method made me nervous. This tool is pain free.” ~ Janet Wooddell, Strongsville “After Several Fender Benders Years Ago, I Lived In Constant Pain, Blurry Vision, Almost Unable To Function.” “After several fender benders years ago, I lived with constant pain, blurry vision, almost unable to function. All the specialists I visited had no answers for me except back surgery!! I found a chiropractor who used the old fashioned chiropractic methods. I did get some relief, but the treatments were painful and sometimes would take a few days in bed to finally begin to feel better. I was not happy with the painful treatments, went online looking for answers and found Dr. McCluskey’s website that explained the Activator Method. I went for my informative consultation and first treatment with the Activator. I couldn’t believe how great I felt without a painful treatment. Dr. McCluskey called me that evening to see how I was doing. I thanked him for the instant pain relief. I was so excited to finally get the help I needed. I told my wife, my sister, my family. We all have experienced relief from Dr. McCluskey and the Activator method. The staff at Timber Ridge is always so pleasant and helpful. It is a real pleasure to deal with Dr. McCluskey and the staff at Timber Ridge. Thank you!” - David Konopinski, Strongsville ~ patient since 2004.  "I Literally Couldn’t Swallow Without Pain Shooting Down The Back Of My Neck.” “Back in the summer of 2001 I was in so much pain I didn’t know what to do. The back of my neck was in so much pain, I literally couldn’t swallow without pain shooting down the back of my neck. At this point of my life I was only 14 years old getting ready to go into high school. My mom had heard about Dr. McCluskey so we decided to go check it out. I had never been to a chiropractor before so I had no idea what to expect. Everyone there was so pleasant and Dr. McCluskey was able to figure out my problem right away. Somehow my spine had been curved. After many visits I was feeling great and back to normal for the upcoming years... About a year after my spine injury, I was starting to get sharp pains in my lower back, but that wasn’t all this time. When I would be sitting down for some reason I was getting pain shooting from my lower back, down my butt and right thigh…we still couldn’t quite figure out the problem, so we decided it was time for an MRI because my pain kept getting worse and worse. The results came in and it turns out I had two herniated discs along with a pinched nerve. Many treatments later, my herniated discs and pinched nerve were completely healed. To this day I still go visit Dr. McCluskey and the gang about every three months for check ups. Everything is good and I feel great. All thanks to Dr. McCluskey and his helpers.” ~ Devin Harmon, Parma Hts ~ patient since 2001 “I Was Very Hesitant Because I Had Been To A Chiropractor…”“A number of years ago I was in severe pain in my back from my waist to my toes constantly. I was treated by a sports doctor with cortisone & with a series of 3 shots in my spine which worked for a while & also put weight on me. I again was in severe pain & couldn’t get in to see the doctor for a long time. He prescribed pain pills. Someone recommended Dr. McCluskey & I was very hesitant because I had been to a chiropractor & didn’t like it nor believe in it, but I called, & to my surprise I got right in & the whole experience was wonderful. It was painless, comforting & fast. I have recommended it to my friends & I am a believer in Dr. McCluskey & his technique.” ~ Jean C. Mayher, Real Estate Sales, Middleburg Hts., OH Spinal Decompression“After I was diagnosed with herniated discs in both my neck and lower back I was asked to see a neurosurgeon with my MRI pictures in hand. To my utter delight, I was informed that I did not require surgery. I then consulted with Dr. McCluskey as to therapies available to alleviate my daily discomfort. I was asked to consider the LCD (Lumbar Cervical Decompression) being newly offered at the Neck and Back Pain Clinic, along with daily Activator adjustments, cold laser therapy and electric stimulation with hot packs. Not long after the orthotics were in place and the various treatments began, I noticed a significant improvement in my overall mobility (I was walking more erect with increased range of motion) as I moved about at the factory where I work. My problems with chronic sciatica seemed much less bothersome as well. I felt less foot and leg pain. I had the added bonus of laser therapy and Activator adjustments to my hand, at the time of each LCD appointment, as I often experience pain due to repetitive motion work on my job. I was very pleased that this additional issue of pain on my hands, which I struggle with daily, was seen by Dr. McCluskey as significant enough for consideration along with the more major issues of herniated discs that caused me persistent pain. I experienced neither pain nor discomfort with any of the treatments given at any time in Dr. McCluskey’s Neck and Back Pain Clinic. The entire staff always helped make my visits stress free, also by efficiently accommodating me with my active schedule of traveling from home to therapy, and directly to work after each visit. This attention to detail by everyone felt therapeutic as well. When my LCD sessions were completed, I took the ultimate test of taking a brisk walk around the block in my neighborhood. When I had tried this a year ago, I could barely make it halfway without experiencing pain in various places, including my sciatica. Now with my new orthotics Stabilizers and the LCD treatments behind me, I have had a very successful experience walking through my neighborhood, a renewed activity I hope to enjoy on a more regular basis. My newly-acquired freedom of movement has elevated my overall mood and outlook on life. That alone is something I haven’t felt in much too long a time. I can only surmise that the increased blood flow and the decreased level of pain I now experience as a result of the remarkable positive effects of targeted decompression have contributed significantly to my overall recovery.” ~ J. D., Cleveland Heights “I Was Unable To Write More Than A Sentence Or Two Because Of Pain And A General Loss Of Coordination/Control.” “A mix of pain & numbness running from my neck to fingers-all the way down the arm-with soreness at joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist & fingers). I was unable to write more than a sentence or two because of pain and a general loss of coordination/control. After Activator and Cold Laser Treatments: I sleep through the night & wake up refreshed. I’m in a much better mood now that I’m not experiencing continuous pain all day & night. I am more able to focus on what I’m doing instead of how much I hurt. After my treatments I feel very relaxed and refreshed. The treatments are relaxing & painless. The various phases of treatment all work very well together. None of my experiences have been uncomfortable. I can’t wait to recommend this to my family – I’ve already told everyone at work about this amazing treatment & results.” ~ Barb Luinski, Cleveland “I Can Remember Several Times Sitting Outside The Nurses Office At School Unable To Move My Neck Or Shoulders & In Terrible Pain.” “As a child, I dislocated my shoulder & because it was not put back for a few days – I, over time, developed a herniated disc in my neck. I can remember several times sitting outside the nurses office at school unable to move my neck or shoulders & in terrible pain. As I grew into adulthood, I sought out medical help – I was prescribed painkillers & Prednisone – not good for you in the long term and I knew when I least expected it – my neck would go out again and I would be out of commission for days. About 5 years ago I discovered Dr. McCluskey – his comprehensive treatment of my neck & back has really changed my life – that 1st day when he saw me (in terrible pain, again) he treated me in the morning & again in the evening – I started feeling the muscles “let go” and relax – “Extreme lower back pain. Could not stand upright. I also had chronic headaches. Benefits from Activator: No more pain!! Yeah! I can walk, stand, sit without pain. Likes Best: It targets the problem directly. No pain involved. Quick results.” ~ Debbie Rich, Insurance, Parma ~ patient since 2004 “I Developed A Serious Sciatica Problem…Had Constant Pain, Could Hardly Walk…”“I developed a serious sciatica problem after an operation on my knee...I had constant pain, could hardly walk, and had a very difficult time sleeping. An orthopedic surgeon and a neurologist examined me and I was treated with prescription drugs. I was then referred to a pain clinic where I received three procedures called “blocks” and another operation. I was still in pain and Patrick Corrigan was referred by a friend. Dr. McCluskey gave me an Parma examination, which included and x-ray. After several treatments my pain went away and I could walk and sleep without pain.” Patrick Corrigan, Parma – 2OO2 “My Feet, Heels And Toes Were In Pain” (Cold Laser)“My feet, heels and toes were in pain. After Cold Laser: The benefit of being able to walk pain-free. Likes Best: The pain relief from them. They also are quick but offer so much relief.”~ Kathy Suhar, Multi-Handicap Aide, North Royalton “My Shoulder Was Really Hurting And I Had Lots Of Overtime To Go.”“I was working lots of overtime sitting at a computer all day and my shoulder was really hurting and I had lots of overtime to go. Dr. McCluskey gave me treatments until the shoulder pain was gone. Thanks to Dr. McCluskey I got through a very stressful part of my job. I was so impressed with his work, I have recommended him to several other people that he has helped also. They (all) staff do Great work there and it’s a pleasure to come there! Thanks much.” - Janet Fodor, Parma Hts. ~ patient since 2000 “I Am So Thankful That A Friend Of Mine Referred Me To Dr. McCluskey.”“I am so thankful that a friend of mine referred me to Dr. McCluskey. She had been suffering for over a year from a fall and found relief from treatments at the center. After a car accident four years ago, I had a whiplash that had me going for chiropractic manipulation therapy, physical therapy and an occasional massage. After the first treatment with Dr. McCluskey and a proper diagnosis, my neck was loosened, I slept better and my pain down my arm was lessened. After three treatments and one massage therapy, the pain down my arm and neck has dropped dramatically. Referrals do work and I am proof of my friend’s referral to you and your wonderful staff.” ~ Linda L. Jones, Fingerprint Examiner/Cleveland “I Can Walk On The Bottoms Of My Feet With No Pain” (Cold Laser)“Inflamed ligament on bottoms of feet. Cold Laser Benefits: I can walk on the bottoms of my feet with no pain. ~ Marilayne Liba, Business Analyst, Parma ~ patient since 2002 “I’m 62 Years Old And I Started At Dr. McCluskey In My Late 40’s – That Was The Best Thing I Could Have Done.” “I came to Timber Ridge because I was having neck pain. I couldn’t move my head to the left or right and always had headache. There was a coupon in the paper my husband had gone a couple of time to another chiropractor and I really didn’t care for that hands on treatment. So I thought I would try Dr. McCluskey. The office was close and if I didn’t like it, it didn’t cost anything. Well I made my appointment and was given a tour of the facility, showed what was done and got a video on how chiropractic works and how your body gets out of alignment. Dr. McCluskey gave me x-rays and then we had a consultation and I started treatment for my neck. I went 3 times a week, then 2 then 1 time. I told him about having headaches. Now I get them but maybe 1 in a great while where before I would have them constant. I’m 62 years old and I started at Dr. McCluskey in my late 40’s – that was the best thing I could have done. I tell all my friends when they say their back hurts where to go”. ~ Barbara Nugent, Bank Teller, N. Royalton ~ patient since 1994 “It Feels Like A Firm Nudge – A Tiny Click & A 1/2 “Quick Push”“Terrible – horrible pain neck & shoulders. Activator Benefits: I can’t really think of the last time my neck went out. Describe Activator: It feels like a firm nudge – a tiny click & a ˝” quick push. I absolutely hated having my entire body yanked around during normal chiropractic treatments.” ~ Eva Tranchito, Strongsville “You Don’t Have To Force Yourself To Relax Before The Treatment…”“Middle back pain, neck pain. After Activator: Pain free from a treatment that isn’t painful or uncomfortable. Compared to regular chiropractic treatment, the Activator is very comfortable and easy. *You don’t have to force yourself to relax before the treatment as you do with the old fashioned chiropractic adjustment. I love how easy and quick the treatments are with almost instant results.” ~ David Konopinski, Strongsville ~ patient since 2004 From Only One Treatment, My Pain Had Gone Away By 50%...”“Pain in neck causing severe headaches. Benefits from Activator: Relief of pain. Gentle, Relaxing, Pain-Free. No twisting. Cold Laser: “(Had) Pain caused from scar tissue. From only one treatment, my pain had gone away by 50%. … I will be able to avoid surgical treatment. Thank you and your staff for always providing GREAT!! service.” ~ Tina Toth, N. Royalton “But For Almost 40 Years I Suffered From Terrible Headaches. You See, I Was In A Car Accident When I Was 16 Years Old.” “I am a 56 years young woman and now I feel wonderful thanks to Dr. McCluskey. But for almost 40 years I suffered from terrible headaches. You see, I was in a car accident when I was 16 years old. The car rolled over, but I walked away with not even a scratch. Shortly after that I began having headaches. Sometimes my headaches would be on only one side of my face, other times they would affect both sides. My eyes hurt and my sinuses would be full. Then some of the headaches felt like migraines. Doctors said my sinuses were fine and open. They said it must be migraine. So I took the drugs they gave me. These headaches came two to three times per week and even when I didn’t have a headache I always felt a heavy feeling hovering around my head. The drugs didn’t really help except to numb the pain so I could work and take care of my children. Then a friend told me about Dr. McCluskey. After an x-ray, in consultation he told me I had a vertebra turned in my neck. That’s when the pieces of the puzzle began to come together as to why I have these headaches all these years. I never before associated this with the car accident so long ago. After the first treatment I felt relief, but I needed a series of treatments in order to get it to stay in place. I no longer have congestion, I rarely get a headache and if I do, relief is just around the corner (literally). Thank you, Dr. McCluskey. “The Activator gives a simple “plunge” at the target area. You don’t even feel it…Whenever I get up from the table, I just feel better and in line…When used in the hands of a professional like Dr. Pat, you can be sure that ultimate results will be obtained.” – William Malicki, Valley View, OH “Lower Back Pain, Disc Out, Pinched Nerve”“Lower back pain, disc out, pinched nerve. Activator Benefits: Disc back into place. Pain of pinched nerve minimal after. Describe Activator: When it “snaps” you feel positive results immediately.” – Rob Gaydosh, Medina “My Wife And I Literally Don’t Know What We Would Without Dr. McCluskey And His Activator.”“My wife and I literally don’t know what we would do without Dr. McCluskey and his Activator. How many times have we limped into your office in pain and walked out erect and smiling? The staff also is very helpful and courteous. Thank you – Thank you.” Sincerely, James R. Jones, Truck Driver, Retired. North Royalton ~ patient since 1996 “It wasn’t until I started Spinal Decompression that I was able to do just about anything.”“My name is Kevin Smith and I’ve had persistent lower back problems for the last 10 years! My problems were diagnosed as degenerating discs and arthritis in my low back. My family has a history of spinal degenerative disc disease. Before starting Spinal Decompression therapy, my lower back would tighten up anytime I had to do bend over motions. Being a 44 year old father of active 10 and 12 year old children, a bodybuilder, and a certified personal trainer, I was worried about how I could keep up with my lifestyle. I was afraid that this might turn into a need for back surgery and was worried that this might affect my finances. But after a series of treatments of Spinal Decompression therapy, I feel no tightness or pain in any of my activities, so to me Decompression therapy’s been a lifesaver. I’ve taken care of my health very well in the past, and although keeping my back in chiropractic alignment has helped me considerably over the last 10 years, I thought I’d never eliminate the pain I had with bending forward. It wasn’t until I started Spinal Decompression that I was able to do just about anything. My symptoms have been eliminated with no downtime, and with no drugs or surgery. In fact, I’m looking forward to competing in the Natural Northern USA Bodybuilding Championships. Thank you Timber Ridge for giving me back my active lifestyle. I would highly recommend this Spinal Decompression course of treatment for anyone who qualifies.” Kevin Smith, ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, Strongsville, OH ~ patient since 1995 Cold Laser“Neck pain, headaches.

The pain was intense and sharp. Activator Benefits: Increased neck & shoulder movement, decrease in pain after a couple of treatments. Relaxing! Effective! The treatment feels very good and I am able to relax knowing I am taking care of myself.” ~ Amy Lambermont, Olmsted Falls “I Was In A Car Accident And Had A Whiplash Injury.”“I was in a car accident and had a whiplash injury. My shoulders were also extremely knotted. Many sessions of physical therapy helped but Dr. McCluskey’s program worked the best. I had massages combined with ultrasound, heat and the electrical stimulation along with adjustments. After every treatment I felt better. I had been to other chiropractors in the past but got little relief as I am very flexible therefore almost impossible to crack. The Activator is exceptional as it adjusts without manipulation of the body.” ~ Kathy Dykin, Mortgage Broker, North Royalton ~ patient since 1993 “It Was Almost As Good As Going To A “Spa” When I Came For My Appointments.”“…I know now of an extremely dedicated doctor who I will come for any other pains I get in the future, and without a doubt I will recommend to other people.

Activator Benefits: Felt 100% better after two treatments. When I first came to Dr. McCluskey I was in tears – for weeks I felt terrible. He was kind and reassuring that he could get me back on my feet – what a miracle worker. Describe Activator: Pain free, quick – I love it! Likes Best: After receiving “hands - on” treatment, I was sore for 2-3 days after. They had a hard time adjusting me because I would tense up. The Activator is quick & painless. The staff is the best I’ve ever met – they actually care. When I was trying to visit my husband in the hospital (he has leukemia), they were very flexible in letting me call & come in 15 minutes later – didn’t even have to wait. A million thanks!! ~ Linda M. Reid, Parma Hts. “I Drive From Solon… To Be Treated By Dr. McCluskey.”“It is my pleasure to write a recommendation for this superb doctor. I had a sudden back injury on a Saturday. I called the doctor just as he was leaving the office. I explained my problem and he offered to stay overtime after the office closed to help me.

I drive from Solon to Parma to be treated by Dr. McCluskey.” ~ Renee Schonhiutt, Solon Cold Laser For Neck & Shoulder Pain“My neck and shoulders were very stiff and sudden movement caused sharp pain.

My right hand was stiff and painful. I was considering surgery until I heard about the Cold Laser treatment for carpal tunnel pain. After a few cold laser treatments, the pain in my hand was disappearing. I was able to perform my activities without pain. I was able to make a fist without pain afterwards. The cold laser treatment was painless, gentle and very relaxing. With the cold laser treatments you have pain relief and it feels good, I would recommend the cold laser treatment to everyone who suffers from carpal tunnel pain. Don’t hesitate-do it now!!” ~ Irene T., North Royalton Sharp Pain In My Back When I Would Bend Over.”“Sharp pain in my back when I would bend over. Pain is gone. (Activator Treatments): very gentle. No twisting.” ~Anthony Latina, Broadview Hts. “Bad Lower Back Pain. I Couldn’t Straighten Up.”“Bad lower back pain. I couldn’t straighten up. Numbness and tingling in hands. After Activator: Back pain almost gone. Straight again. Helping the numbness in hands. Activator Treatments: Gentle, simple, quick. There is no manipulation, dropping tables, or cracking. When you are in pain the Activator treatments are so much easier. Cold Laser: has helped my back... Feels good and massaging.” ~ Sheri Williams, O. Falls “I Had A Herniated Disc That Was Putting Pressure On My Spinal Cord.” (Spinal Decompression)“Here is my story: After visits to the hospital, my family doctor, and a therapist and was not receiving any relief or answers, I decided to see Dr. McCluskey. When I met Dr. McCluskey, I was experiencing numbness in my leg and foot. My foot was losing its mobility. Dr. McCluskey diagnosed that my sciatic nerve was pinched, causing the loss of motion and numbness in my leg. After a few weeks of treatment, I regained all my movement in my foot and the numbness lessened, but Dr. McCluskey was not happy with my progress. He felt there may be more than a pinched sciatic nerve. He sent me out for an MRI. He was s right. The MRI showed that I had a herniated disc that was putting pressure on my spinal cord. Dr. McCluskey recommended Spinal Decompression. Dr. McCluskey thought that this new procedure was a better option than surgery. He was right. I am in my last third of the Spinal Decompression and the numbness in my leg is lessening. Dr. McCluskey is a doctor who cares about his patients’ well being. I have been to a lot of doctors in my life. It is refreshing to wee a doctor who takes the time to make sure the patient is getting well and just not treating him/her as a number. Thanks for everything!!!!!!!” Robert M. Guddy, Vice President of Distribution, Marcs, Hinckley, OH “At First, The Activator Sounds Like It Would Be Causing Pain…”“Pain in the shoulder & neck area. Lower back was also very sore. After Activator: The pain has subsided considerably. Also, after the adjustments my body in general seems to respond by being more relaxed and calm. At first, the Activator sounds like it would be causing pain and you anticipate it but it really causes no pain and offers the relief your body needs gently. Likes Best: That the Activator is gentle enough and feels good after being used.” ~ Kathy Suhar, Multi-Handicap Aide, North Royalton “The Massages are Absolutely Fabulous”“Neck and upper back pain. It only took a few treatments with the Dr. until I felt great. I still continue to come in for massage therapy, which I absolutely love, the girls are great, the massages are fabulous. More mobility in my neck after treatment, less pain in my back. I feel all over better when I leave there.” ~ Tracy Carpenter, Police, Fire & EMS Dispatcher, Parma “I Was Finally Able To Walk And Drive Again”.“Four years ago I was diagnosed with scoliosis (found only by the chiropractor) after visiting medical doctor after medical doctor and finding nothing wrong with me. After using the Activator too and heat stimulating therapyu, I was finally able to walk and drive again. I continue to do exercises and visit the chiropractor regularly to stay healthy.” ~ Kathy Suhar, Multi-handicap Aide, North Royalton “Numbness In My Fingers All The Way Up To My Elbows And Also Weakness In My Wrists. I Hadn’t Had A Good Night Sleep In A Very Long Time.” (Carpal Tunnel) “Before the Cold Laser treatments, I was experiencing numbness in my fingers all the way up to my elbows and also weakness in my wrists. I hadn’t had a good night sleep in a very long time. I was very uncomfortable with a lot of pressure in my fingers. I work with my hands all day. I use various pieces of equipment for extended periods of time. After receiving the Cold Laser, I have noticed that I can go longer with little to no discomfort during my work schedule. The Big Plus is that I’m finally sleeping through the without waking up from numbness or pressure. The Cold Laser treatments are direct, fast and pain free. It’s amazing what this instrument can do!! You need to give this procedure a chance to work. In my case, it took several treatments before I noticed a difference. This is “cutting edge” technology, and if you work with Dr. Pat, he will help you feel better…I came to Dr. Pat for a hand problem (Carpal Tunnel). He explained to me that everything works as one with your spine. He told me after my first visit, “stick with me, I can help you”. I’m glad I did, cause I feel 100% better. Dr. Pat, you are the man!!” ~William Malicki, Valley View “I Walked Out Of The Office With Much Less Trouble Than I Went In With”“I slid on the office floor, twisted & turned but managed to remain standing. That night, I woke up with a terrific headache. So I went to see Dr. McCluskey who adjusted my back & I walked out of the office with much less trouble than I went in with. Since then, he has helped me with several other issues including my inflamed ligaments at the bottom of my feet by using the cold laser. The regular adjustments have lessened the symptoms of sinus pressure and inflammation in my digestive tract as well.” ~ Marilayne Liba, Business Analyst, Parma “Trigger Points – Great Release When She Hit Them.”“Lower back pain, disc out, pinched nerve. Massage Benefits: “Trigger points – Great release when she hit them. Relaxing, can almost feel stress leaving with pain.” ~ Rob Gaydosh, Medina “I Had A Friend Waiting For Me Who Fell… And Can Barely Raise His Arm.”“While I was in treatment at the Timber Ridge Neck & Back Pain Clinic – I mentioned to Dr. Pat McCluskey – that I had a friend waiting for me who fell about a week ago & has a very painful shoulder & can barely raise his arm – Dr. Pat said “I could x-ray him now”. My friend said “Great”. Lo & behold he had a dislocated shoulder. Dr. Pat said got to the Hospital right away & have it set. And do you know what? Dr. McCluskey didn’t even charge him. What a great Dr. ~Ruth Graskemper, Seven Hills, Ret. ~ patient since 2001 “…Walked Out Feeling Like A Brand New Person” “I am a full time mother of two, 1 yr. old and 2 ˝ year old. On top of cleaning, cooking, making sure the house looks good, and my children’s needs, I’m cashier at a busy station, on my feet for 8 hours at night. I had bad, terrible back and neck problems as young as 12 years old. As I got older and had kids it got worse, so I looked up Dr. McCluskey and made an appointment. Best decision in my life! I got my first exam free, finding out the extent of my problems. And then I received my first treatment, and walked out feeling like a brand new person! Let me tell all of you this, the Activator treatments, heat/cold therapy on my neck and back is like heaven. I feel like a brand new person each time I go! It’s gentle, did I mention relaxing, and best of all, pain free! I’ve lost the curve in my neck and my spinal discs aren’t aligned on the lower part. After having Dr. McCluskey align them I feel brand new. I wake up being able to bend my neck down w/o pain and pick up my children w/o pain and agony. Later I found I had carpal tunnel in both hands. I now receive the same pain free Activator treatment on both hands. It’s much easier to lift, write, and do everyday normal things. Call today to find out how he can help you feel brand new!” ~ Lisa Sorg, Cashier, North Royalton “…In Doing So It Affected My Sciatic Nerve.”“I was at work & an inspector had fallen & as I attempted to help her up, she pulled down on my right arm & in doing so it affected the sciatic nerve. After going to the pain clinic & having the Activator treatments it helped a great deal. After all the great work Dr. McCluskey has done I felt much better & I even referred my wife there & she’s happy with the treatment.” – Joseph Pierog, Operating Engineer, Parma, OH Chiroflow Pillow“Unstable neck - I never knew when it would “go out” on me – the pillow helps me stay in a good position all night. Benefits of Chiroflow Pillow: More restful sleep – keeps my neck in a healthy position. It is like a nest for your head to rest in. It also helps keep from getting in a bad position to sleep in – waking up with a numb arm, or your back twisted up like a pretzel…and the peace of mind of knowing I won’t wake up with my neck & shoulders in pain.” ~ Eva Tranchito, Strongsville “Thanks To The Combined Treatments Of The Activator, Cold Laser Therapy And Electrical Stimulation With Hot Packs My Back Is Pain Free.”“I was having lower back pain and had a hard time walking, sitting, standing or bending in any way. After the treatments my back is as good as old. I am able to move without pain. I am able to do the everyday things we all take for granted. Describe The Activator: Pain free and gentle unlike any other treatment. If it were not for the snap you probably would not know it was in use. Likes Best: It’s a lot better than being twisted around like a rag doll.” “Thanks to the combined treatments of the activator, cold laser therapy and electrical stimulation with hot packs my back is pain free.” The cold laser “was like getting a massage.” ~ Dora Berry, Berea/Toll Collector “Even Making A Fist Hurt, Writing A Letter Was Horrible, And Makes Lifting At Work Awful And Excruciating.”“Pain in my neck and lower back along with stiffness. It made it complicated to do everyday thing such as lifting, looking down, stretching my neck & back. Then I found out why my hands constantly ache, are painful and cramp & swell, the wonderful carpal tunnel. Even making a fist hurt, writing a letter was horrible, and made lifting at work awful and excruciating. Benefits From Activator: I can move around, play more with my kids, do a better job at work! Every treatment is amazing and it works! I don’t wake up feeling 80 and can’t move! I wake up feeling young and ready to go. Describe Activator: It’s so relaxing, relieves my stress from a long day. Gentle, pain free treatment that I never want to end. I could sit there for hours if they’d let me and receive it all day long. I look forward to it when I go. I love the fact that I can sit there, forget about a bad day when relaxing and reading a magazine. It feels amazing and all I have to do is sit back and enjoy. It’s pain free, doesn’t pinch, twist, or hurt. I love it!” ~ Lisa Sorg, cashier, North Royalton “I’ve been sent to many different chiropractors or physical therapists in the past, none of which helped to cure my pain.”“I’ve had back pain for several years now due to a few car accidents. I’ve been sent to many different chiropractors or physical therapists in the past, none of which helped to cure my pain. One day my back was just killing me and I received an advertisement for Dr. McCluskey’s office, so I called. I was greeted by a kind, helpful receptionist who was able to get me an appointment the next day. On my first visit I met with Dr. McCluskey who really took the time to find the cause of my pain, by taking x-rays, feeling my back – 1st time in all my chiropractic visits that that had happened. He explained what type of treatment would help me. It only took a few treatments with the Dr. until I felt great. I still continue to come in for massage therapy, which I absolutely love, the girls are great, the massages are fabulous. I would recommend Timber Ridge Neck and Back Pain Clinic to anyone suffering from neck or back pain.” ~ Tracy Carpenter, Police, Fire & EMS Dispatcher, Parma “My Husband Is Jealous Of My Pillow!”“Very, very stiff neck and shoulders. Chiroflow Pillow Benefits: Sleeping better, neck & shoulders much more relaxed. Comfortable! My husband is jealous of my pillow! Likes Best: Better support, good sound sleep. Neck & shoulder pain is gone.” ~ Amy Lambermont, Olmsted Falls Chiroflow Pillow“Headaches & sore neck in morning. Benefits: No stiff/sore neck & no more morning headaches. Describe: Relaxing. I like that I sleep better because I don’t have the pain.” ~ Renee Bridges, Parma “If Only I Had A Glass Of Wine.”“This thought comes to me while I’m enjoying a cold laser treatment and even an Activator treatment. Why the wine, you ask? Simple – Dr. McCluskey’s various types of treatment are so relaxing in and of themselves that, to me, a nice glass of wine seems to be the perfect compliment! Thanks to the Activator method, treatment for my chronic lower back pain was quickly absolved. This method comes free from anxiety or concern, unlike the original method of pushing on the spine. While this type of chiropractic care is effective, the Activator method is, hands down, 1000% better! It is pain-free, simple and most definitely successful! Thanks to Dr. McCluskey, I am no longer suffering. In addition, Dr. McCluskey has one of the most professional and personable staffs that I have ever encountered in a doctor’s office. Therefore, a toast to Dr. McCluskey – Thank you, thank you, thank you ~ Karen Blaha, Pre-School Teacher’s Aide, Strongsville “I Have Avoided Back Surgery As Recommended By A Neurosurgeon”.“Severe sciatica. Pain radiating down my left leg all the way to my foot.. I have avoided back surgery as recommended by a neurosurgeon. I now live almost pain free. I believe in God given miracles and my chiropractor. As I lay on the table getting my first treatment I was extremely skeptical. I thought how could something as simple as these little impacts from the Activator possibly do anything. Well, I stuck with it. And I’m glad I did! No knives, not stitches, no invasive surgery and NO PAIN! Lying on the table face down was comfortable, almost too comfortable. It is quick and not painful at all to receive these treatments.” ~ Ronald Kruty, Stationary Engineer, Parma |
all without the use of drugs – the combination of the stimulation, massage, the precise use of the Activator, and strengthening exercises have made the neck & shoulder pain of the past 40 years a thing of the past – unbelievable. Thank you Dr. McCluskey & your terrific staff.
