Condition Treated For: Neuromuscular Reeducation: contracted hip flexors, gluteus-medius, inner thigh, and spine. Tendon atrophy in the right foot causing hammertoes.

Prior to seeing Dr. Marquis, I had seen another chiropractor in Arroyo Grande area for approximately 7 months in 2008. I had seen this chiropractor (let’s call him Dr. X) because he had a “coupon special†and, as I was new to the Central Coast, I thought I’d take advantage of the coupon.

I must say outright that Dr. X’s services comprised mostly of cracking the neck and back and offerings of a diet plan. I told him that I suffered from chronic pain due to injuries sustained from a severe car crash years ago. I was essentially told that the chronic pain was all in my head. When I complained to Dr. X of muscle pain in my leg and difficulty in walking when coming out of a seated position, he figured that I had pulled a groin muscle. Dr. X ruled out laser treatment because “there are too many muscles involved†and, since I’ve had this condition now for a few months, “lasers couldn’t help with old injuriesâ€. As the muscles continued untreated the condition worsened and I stopped seeing Dr. X. I dealt with the severe pain each and every day to the point of fatigue and exhaustion. I then received an email from a particular Dr. David Marquis. The very 1st time I received his e-mail my instincts told me that he would be the right person for me to see, I attended a free seminar Dr. marquis was holding. At the seminar he explained about lasers, the turbo sonic, and other treatments offered at the Oak Park wellness Clinic. I proceeded to make an appointment.

Dr. Marquis not only listens, but he is very astute with diagnosis. Last but not least, Dr. Marquis puts his heart into his treatments and treats his patients with respect. He has never told me that my pain is in my head but instead has committed to healing my body by stretching and re-educating my contracted muscles and using the laser with great success. I started treatment with Dr. Marquis mid-March of 2009. Within a two-week period, I was able to leave his office walking freely, sans pain. With his instructions for exercises to do at home and regular scheduled office visits, I know that, given time, these muscle groups will be healed. Thank you Dr. Marquis for your dedication! I really do bless the day I received your e-mail.
