It was a 6-hour flight out of Anchorage during Alaska’s worst winter in 50 years. When we landed in Seattle, I knew something was wrong with my back. I couldn’t stand up straight and walking was difficult. Another 4-hour flight to Cincinnati, I could hardly push the clutch to drive home from the airport. It felt like an ice pick in my low back. I couldn’t sleep and I didn’t want to stay awake. Basically, I was miserable for months.
I take good care of myself. I exercise, I stay in shape, but even I had to admit I needed help. Chiropractic care is an exercise of faith. And just like faith in God it doesn’t happen at once. My films showed improvements, my pain level didn’t. But I was walking better every day. I was taking on more at work. I was actually feeling really good.
Talk to your doctor! Pay attention to your body! Don’t be passive, be patient! Prayers are never answered the first time and backs aren’t fixed in a week. Dry needling WORKS, and it is the perfect finishing touch. By the way- Yes, I still need to keep coming back for good health.

“Khai was born 2 months early and spent 2 months in the NICU, so he was always in his bed unless he was being cared for. When we brought him home, we noticed he was holding his neck to the right constantly. It was so bad that his cheek would rest on his shoulder, and he would sleep with his neck in the same position. He was always uncomfortable and only pooping once a week!
Since starting care at Brannon Family Chiropractic, Khai can now hold his head up, turn it from side to side, and he will sleep with his head to the left. He was always in pain and uncomfortable but since he has been getting adjusted, he poops every day and sleeps through the night now.
Advice I would give to parents who have children with similar issues is to give chiropractic care a shot. You will not regret it! Happy baby = happy mommy!”

About five years ago, I started having sever hip pain. It was so bad I almost couldn’t get out of bed on my own and I had to use a cane. I went on a Florida vacation to Disney, and spent much of the time sitting in one place while my family went to have fun. I thought I was going to have to be in a wheel chair. Then I tried cupping.
A couple of years ago. Dr. Lindsay recommended trying the Edison Pack- Multivitamin and tissue support, to help with my energy and overall health. All I can say about these vitamins is “WOW!!” I feel fantastic! My energy levels are through the roof! I am able to go out and do the things I love without worrying if I can keep up. My husband noticed such a positive change in me, he started taking them too and feels amazing.
Please ask the doctors at Brannon Family Chiropractic about their vitamins and supplements. It was such an easy thing to do and it made such a huge difference in my life.

Before starting Be Calm, I was experiencing anxiety and would get stressed over work issues. It had gotten so bad that even my family noticed I did not have the patience I once had. I was much more agitated than before.
Since taking Be Calm my anxiety has gotten much better. I can get through my work day more calmly and stress doesn’t keep me up at night. I feel better emotionally when taking Be Calm and I have more patience.
I would highly recommend Be Calm to anyone who struggles with any amount of stress or anxiety. It truly helps calm you.

I sought out help from Dr. Lindsay when I really started noticing the tension in my neck and shoulders and how it was affecting my training. I couldn’t properly do certain exercises because of the discomfort. I would be sore, have headaches, and even optical migraines after “aggravating” my neck. I had learned to avoid disturbing the area.
Since starting care, I have realized how bad the problem actually was. Sometimes you don’t realize how bad something is because you’ve gotten so used to it. After my adjustment, I had so much relief it showed me how much pain I had become used to but what kind of relief was possible. It gets better each time I visit.
Just like the gym- show up, do the work, and stay consistent. The results will come.

My chiropractic story begins when I started working here at Brannon Family Chiropractic. I suffered my whole life with terrible migraines. I remember being in high school, walking to the bus stop with a migraine that had been ongoing for 3 days in a row. My migraines would be so intense that it would make me miss out on events and activities I truly wanted to be a part of. Unfortunately, I ended missing out on a lot. At the time, the only thing that helped was to sleep it off.
Now that I am migraine free, life is fun! I don’t have to wake up in pain or wonder if I will have a migraine today. Being migraine free is more important to me now more than ever! I have an amazing 11-year-old boy to keep up with and I don’t want to ever miss out on any of his special life events again.
My advice to everyone is SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!! Tell everyone about chiropractic care! Most people just don’t know what Chiropractic can do for them. Not to mention it’s side effect free! Dr. Lindsay is amazing and changed my life.

“When I started at Brannon Family Chiropractic, my hips were hurting so bad and I had such difficulty walking that I thought I needed 2 hip replacements. By the time I got home at night I could barely make it to feed my cat using a cane and umbrella to make it through the house. Two of my friends were coming to Dr. Lindsay and convinced me to come see her before pursuing surgical options. I had already done everything I could think of to change my lifestyle and it helped a bit, but the pain and mobility issues were still overwhelming.
Since my initial visit and x-rays, my life has changed dramatically. I am healthier now than I can remember. Many of my maintenance reports are “no symptoms” since the previous visit and the days I have any pain at all are so infrequent I have trouble recalling them. Dr. Lindsay and the BFC staff are so encouraging and share so much educationally about how to move and how to protect ourselves along with what to do to prevent issues and how to deal with pain when it does appear.
The advice I would give to someone with a similar problem is to CALL NOW – don’t hesitate. I can walk fast, run, twirl and do any activities I want without pain or limitation of mobility and I feel like myself again. My personality came back – only I’m better than before since Dr. Lindsay and the BFC family continue to educate me on how to PLAN to live a healthy life, how to be aware when something is a little off, and to call for help and know they will take care of you! Just because you’re not in pain doesn’t necessarily mean you’re healthy; so don’t wait until you are in pain like I did. Life is good and it’s even better when you’re a part of the BFC family because you know they will help you stay on track to enjoy a good life!”

“I started coming to Brannon Family Chiropractic less than 6 months ago and it has easily been the best decision I have ever made. After watching me in agonizing pain almost daily, two of my coworkers recommended I see Dr. Lindsay for a consultation. The pains I would feel in my stomach were so intense that I could do nothing but cry. When I would have “an attack”, as I called them, I could not move, stand, walk, or really do anything except sit completely still and cry. Nothing would alleviate my symptoms and it was the most miserable experience ever. I had been in and out of doctor’s offices doing blood work and all kinds of tests trying to figure out what was wrong and how I could manage my symptoms. I was on medication to try and help with my stomach issues, but nothing helped when an “attack” would hit. Before I started coming to Brannon Family Chiropractic, I was convinced that my life was going to be a daily struggle. I had accepted the horrible ways I had been feeling for over two years, even though I was always in an immense amount of pain. I had no idea how much my life would change in the coming months.”

About 6 years ago I had severe back pain and couldn’t walk or stand. I had back surgery to repair a tilted vertebra. About 2 months before I started with these very friendly and talented personnel, I had that same pain. I came to Brannon Family Chiropractic because my granddaughter and wife had been coming here with such great results. I came here to prevent another surgery, and wish I had known about chiropractic care 6 years ago.
Since starting care, I am doing much better and my x-rays have shown great improvement. I have had 3 sets with improvement shown on all films. I have been able to return to my normal life without fear of injury. I can now lift with no pain and we live on a farm and have had no issues. We have traveled and I can enjoy life.
Advice I would give to someone with a similar problem is to take the preventative approach. See Brannon Family Chiropractic to see if they can keep you from surgery. They have done that for me.

I originally started coming to Brannon Family Chiropractic due to trouble walking that was coming from my low back. However, I have also been taking migraine medication for 20 years and never thought that coming in for care with neck and back adjustments would get me completely off of migraine medication!!
Since starting care at Brannon Family Chiropractic, I am now able to walk completely pain free, and I have not used migraine medication in 8 weeks. the migraine medication I was taking would help with migraines, but also had terrible side effects that I no longer have to deal with. I cannot remember the last time I had a true migraine since starting care. They were so severe that I would have to completely stop what I was doing until I could manage it hours later.
Advice I would give to someone with a similar problem is to give chiropractic a try. This has truly been life changing!!

“My shoulder and arm hurt for months before I came to Brannon Family Chiro. I just woke up one morning with a “crick in my neck” and then I had constant nerve pain from my neck down my arm and into my hand on the right side. I tried many remedies that were completely ineffective: steroids, over the counter medications, massage, yoga, heat and ice packs. It got so bad, that when I had to use a mouse for computer work, it felt like the mouse was shocking me! It was all I could do to fight tears while I typed and tried to ice my arm at the same time!
After being in intense pain for months, I was irritable & exhausted! Both chores and hobbies were too much for me and I put them off until “later, when I feel better”, which never happened. I went to a different chiropractor here in town but got no relief. They gave me adjustments, physical therapy sessions and put me in a machine to stretch my neck. They also sold me a $300 neck brace that I have never tried.
Coming to Brannon Family Chiro was completely life changing! Dr. Esau is the ONLY chiropractor that I’ve seen that studied my x-rays, made measurements and actually showed me what was causing my pain and had a plan to relieve the source of my problem! Her first adjustment helped tremendously, but of course, the body will go back to its bad habits and it took more than one adjustment to get me “straightened out”.

“I’ve dealt with anxiety and depression my entire life. After having my daughter (add lots of new mom concerns and uncertainties) and a job as an educator, my stress and anxiety settled in my neck and shoulders. This created endless headaches and sleep issues. The headaches made me miss out on numerous things and I felt bad all over (mentally and physically). My neck and shoulders became so tight, it affected by posture and overall health.
Dr. Lindsay is my miracle worker. I have maintained and continued seeing her because my overall health has improved. My anxiety still exists and depending on life can cause flare ups, but Dr. Lindsay has given me exercises to help relieve the tightness and pressure. I do still get a headache from time to time but other elements factor into it. Overall, I feel so much better.
The advice I would give to someone with a similar problem is to seek a physician’s advice, but for me maintaining my bi-monthly visits, talking with Dr. Lindsay about my issues or concerns, and being aware of things I can do to relieve my stress has greatly lowered my anxiety and the physical issues it creates.”

When I first started chiropractic care here at BFC, I was primarily coming for low back pain, but I was a mess in many areas. I was taking anxiety medications every day. My anxiety had gotten so bad that eventually the medication did nothing to help me, and I was back at square one.
I stuck to my treatment plan very closely, and as I progressed, I noticed my anxiety was also getting better. I had gotten more and more confident that I could go without my medications. After speaking with my prescribing physician, I weaned myself off of my medications. I haven’t needed them the same way since.
I never knew there were other options out there for me to try until I came to BFC. I’m still amazed by what chiropractic care can help. just like my anxiety.

I had a lot of cramps and gas. I was constantly experimenting with food to try and figure out the source of the problem. I decided to try a food sensitivity test offered at Brannon Family Chiropractic. Not once did I suspect cheese to be the problem.
Since getting the results, so long as I limit the food triggers the test identified, my stomach problems and intestinal cramps are few. I’m finally at peace with my stomach!
My advice to people with similar issues is to take the test. Triggers can be sneaky and hard to identify on your own. Once you have your results, follow the instructions and be on your way to better health!

I had suffered with anxiety and stress headaches for many years. Multiple times a month I would have trouble sleeping and wake up with stress headaches from my neck to my forehead. I spent many days tired from lack of sleep or no sleep at all. The stress headaches would come on at all hours of the day and could ruin many plans I had with friends and family. Because my anxiety would cause the stress headaches, Sundays were the worst. The “Sunday Scaries” always came with anxiety about the work week coupled with a stress headache that would last throughout the day. My neck and spine were a major problem in this and a leading cause of the stress and anxiety that led to the headaches being such a common occurrence.
I began receiving care from Brannon Family Chiropractic in July 2021 and in just a few short months, I have seen a lot of improvement. I have felt significantly less general neck and back pain, and my stress headaches have lessened to around 1-2 a month, instead of weekly. My anxiety has incredibly improved, and my stress levels have diminished. I am a teacher and a coach, so I stay very busy in a high stress environment and having my stress levels and anxiety diminish the way they have has given me such a healthier disposition and enjoyment of my work and downtime.
I came into Brannon Family Chiropractic to help manage my back and neck pain, never fully expecting all the improvement in my mental health as well. It has been so amazing to see how connected the body truly is and how chiropractic care has improved the way that I feel each day, both physically and mentally.

High blood pressure started to be a serious issue for me once I got into upper management. Constantly moving and inspecting machinery within the facility, mental stresses from trying to optimize certain processes, and the unrelenting drive to maximize output caught up with me quickly and eventually became overwhelming. Over time, this cycle took a significant toll on my health. I was constantly fatigued, short of breath, headaches, blurry vision and so on, making it near impossible to not only do my job adequately but also to enjoy my hobbies. I was prescribed medication to combat these symptoms and to regain a sense of normalcy in my life. The medication helped to an extent, but I still had random spells that always left me with thoughts of something dire in the back of my mind.
After an unfortunate setback in November, I gave Dr. O’Nan and the wonderful BFC staff a call to get me moving again. However, to my surprise not only am I getting back on the right track from the issue that I initially called for, but most, if not all, of the symptoms that I have experienced from my high blood pressure have seemingly gone away. My medication intake has been cut in half and the energy that I am able to expend throughout the day seems limitless. There is still no hope for my golf game, but to be able to drive the ball down the fairway, to exercise with the intensity that I used to without a constant fear of something happening, to pass ball with my son or even as simple as striking a few licks on the guitar have brought me so much joy that I have missed for far too long. I cannot thank Dr. O’Nan and her skilled staff enough for what they have been able to do for me and finally helping me LIVE life once again!!
If someone is experiencing high blood pressure, the first thing that I would highly recommend is to reach out to Dr. O’Nan and see if she can do the same for you that she has done for me. I can honestly say that since I started coming to Brannon Family Chiropractic, it is the most at peace I have been, both mentally and physically, in an extremely long time.

“Advice I would give to someone is to follow the treatment plan and try new things. I wasn’t sure the Posture Pump would work, but I tried it and it’s helping significantly! I wasn’t sure about dry needling, but once I started having sessions I realized immediate pain relief and mobility improvement. I wasn’t sure about E-FlamX but I feel better head to toe after starting it. Our providers have your best interest at heart and they’re here to help you move from pain to pain-free.”
“It’s hard to pinpoint one problem. I hurt all over and I hurt all the time. I didn’t realize how much I hurt until I didn’t hurt any longer. My range of motion was terrible, I could barely look over my shoulder to back out of parking spaces and personal care activities were challenging. I thought my lower back was the biggest issue but my mid-back and neck were identified as problem areas, too.
I am shocked at how much better I feel, all day every day! I am able to move freely and easily. I’m driving safely, able to look over my shoulder to check for traffic. My posture is much improved. I’m sleeping better and feeling more positive and less stressed. I have dealt with plantar fasciitis for more than 10 years but after a few sessions of dry needling, I have significant relief from pain. I am able to be active again and am able to walk with my husband.”

Before establishing care with Brannon Family Chiropractic, I suffered from chronic low back pain. this made it difficult for me to carry out my day job as well as play volleyball, which I typically did about 4 times a week! Chronic lower back pain can feel so limiting, and for someone like me who doesn’t like to feel limited, this can take a toll on one’s mental health too.
Not only has BFC taken care of me for the past 2. 5 years, but they have continued to do so during my pregnancy as well. That’s right! I never knew you could continue chiropractic care during pregnancy, and I feel this made all the difference in having a smooth pregnancy and a safe and short delivery. I hardly dealt with morning sickness, or low back pain. I also feel I had a shorter recovery time postpartum thanks to receiving chiropractic care.
I really want to thank BFC for continuing to educate me on the benefits of chiropractic care during all stages of life, for being so thoughtful and professional, and always taking great care of me so I can take care of my family. If you are pregnant, establish/continue chiropractic care!

“I have experienced low back issues since I was a teenager, but it was neck pain that brought me to see Dr. Lindsay. I was having excruciating stiffness and discomfort and was barely able to turn my head to check traffic while driving. It also affected my shoulders and upper back, and I felt perpetually tense and uncomfortable.
Since starting care, I have experienced an incredible amount of relief and enjoyed tremendous positive gains since I walked through the doors of Brannon Family Chiropractic in December 2021. My range of motion is very much improved, and I feel physically good for the first time in years! Since I’ve been coming in for regular adjustments, I have also experienced a boost in overall mental health, and even my digestion is better.
I would recommend the amazing staff here at BFC to anyone experiencing similar discomfort. With time, patience, and dedication to a treatment plan, wellness and best possible health are absolutely attainable!”

“When I started at Brannon Family Chiropractic, I had migraines that made me light sensitive and nauseous. I would usually have to call in to work or cancel plans and spend the rest of the day in bed.
I haven’t had a migraine since I started going to Brannon Family Chiropractic and followed their treatment plan for me. My energy and my posture have improved as well! I call in less and get to spend more time with family and friends. I don’t have to wonder when my next migraine will be.
The advice I would give to someone with a similar problem is to give chiropractic care a shot! I had a lot of skeptics in my life that said it wouldn’t help, but I’m so glad that I came to Brannon Family Chiropractic. “
