I
first came to Khalsa Chiropractic because I was experiencing
chronic pain at the base of my neck and down to my
shoulders, along with a mysterious tingling/needle sensation
in my forearm. I’d seen chiropractors at other times in my
life and the result was always positive so I decided to try
it again. Khalsa Chiropractic is in my neighborhood so I
came here hoping they could help.
Dr.
Mha Atma seemed like a very easy going person and everyone
in the office was very nice. He recommended a course of
treatment of three visits weekly for a few weeks, then twice
a week for several weeks, then once a week for a few weeks.
The adjustments definitely worked, and the progress was
gradual but measurable. All of my pain was alleviated after
about three or four adjustments.
It’s
been almost four months since I started treatment and I’m
now coming once or twice a month. I’ve continued because
the results I got were exactly what I was hoping to achieve,
and because I feel better overall when my spine is aligned.
My neck pain is gone, my neck doesn’t get stiff anymore, and
overall my body feels more balanced.
I
would recommend chiropractic care because I have found it
very effective. Most medical doctors treat pain with
harmful medication and surgery, and I think much of that can
be avoided. I encourage anyone just starting chiropractic
care to complete the course of treatment that Dr. Mha Atma
recommends before deciding if it works or not—one or two
visits is not enough to judge accurately.
I also
recommend that new patients attend Dr. Mha Atma’s health and
wellness seminar. It is a great reminder of how important
it is to take care of ourselves—without your health, what do
you have?

I had
severe pain in my lower back and my legs for three weeks. I
could not walk without a walker. I had problems sleeping
because of the pain in my back and calf, and in back of my
whole right leg. The pain was a 10+. I couldn’t walk or
put pressure on my leg. A doctor at the Kaiser emergency
room gave me pain pills and muscle relaxants, and said that
eventually the pain would lessen, but might not go away.
A friend
gave me a gift certificate to see Dr. Mha Atma, and told me
I could get great relief if I kept up the treatment. I
found that he was right—Dr. Mha Atma is the greatest! He
had me come in for frequent treatments and recommended
simple exercises and his Wellness Workshop. After three
treatments I did not need my walker, but I was walking
slowly. Now after two months I can walk without pain, touch
my toes, and ride my bike.
I told
my roommate about Dr. Mha Atma and now she is coming
regularly and feeling better. I pass out the doctor’s
business cards frequently. I feel new, like I have been
healed. I can go about my business without any back pain.
I feel blessed that I can now move, walk and bend my body
with ease. I look forward to starting yoga soon!

Le Flore
I
had neck pain and frequent headaches. My neck had been
hurting for seven years, since I was 16 years old. I could
not move my neck to the left.
Previously, I had tried muscle relaxers prescribed by my
doctor. However, they only seemed to work for about a
12-hour period, and then the pain would always come back. I
also took Tylenol and Advil. I did not like the muscle
relaxers because they made my very drowsy and became an
inconvenience to my every day life.
I had
always been hesitant to see a chiropractor and get
“cracked;” however a neighbor of mine informed me that it
was probably the best and only solution to relieve my pain.
I had my doubts, but I finally decided to give it a try.
I felt
completely at ease with the office, the doctor and the idea
of chiropractic almost as soon as I stepped in the door. I
was very comfortable and had full trust in Dr. Mha Atma. He
recommended being aware of my posture, paying more attention
to sleeping habits, staying on top of my diet, and some
chiropractic adjustments.
Now, four
months later, I have absolutely no pain in my neck. My neck
pains have been a burden on my life since I was 16. After
seven years, with the help of Dr. Mha Atma, everything is
much better.
My
mother and father are both patients here. Chiropractic has
helped them relax and feel more comfortable on a daily
basis. Chiropractic is a quick and easy process that can
change your physical life forever. I truly enjoy everything
about this office. The customer care is amazing and the
service is prompt and efficient. My headaches are much less
frequent and my neck pain is gone. Thank you so much for
taking me out of my misery!

Carolyn
Wallrich
I had a
fall, and for several months afterward I had lower back pain
and severe pain in my right shoulder and my right knee. It
was painful to raise my right arm. My doctor diagnosed my
problem as arthritis. I took Tylenol for the pain.
My doctor
suggested I see a chiropractor and I found Khalsa
Chiropractic in my insurance company’s list. I had been to
a chiropractor in the past and he had helped my back pain,
so I expected it would help again.
I found
Dr. Mha Atma and his staff to be very professional and
caring. All of my symptoms improved almost immediately and
vanished with treatment over the last few months. The
results have been fantastic—my body is now entirely pain
free.
I
highly recommend chiropractic care to others. My experience
at Khalsa Chiropractic has been a blessing that my body and
mind were ready to receive. It has added a new dimension to
my physical being. Thank you with much gratitude.
JEFFREY
AMSEL
I had
ongoing pain in my middle back and neck which became severe
from time to time. The pain was debilitating at times.
Other chiropractors did not seem to get a handle on
relieving my pain. The last one I saw went through the
motions but did not communicate adequately.
I took
ibuprofen and at times Vicodin. The Vicodin was horrible
and dragged me down and I worried about the ibuprofen’s
affect on my stomach and liver.
My first
impressions of Khalsa Chiropractic were excellent—a relaxed
office atmosphere. The doctor talked to me about proper
exercise technique and made suggestions to improve my food
intake. The treatment was effective—within two weeks my
pain was greatly decreased. Now I would strongly recommend
good chiropractic care to others who are suffering, and I
feel that chiropractic treatment is awesome.
Dr.
Mha Atma’s technique works. The treatments are quick and
effective. He truly seems to care. He laid out a treatment
program in the beginning and it has worked very well. I
truly enjoy the relaxed atmosphere in the office and the
personnel are delightful. Dr. Mha Atma is a caring
professional who practices what he preaches.

GILBERTO
AGUILAR
For
almost two years I was feeling very intense pain in my lower
back, middle back and upper back. I also had pain in my
waist and my right knee, weakness in my neck, and
headaches. The pain was about 8 or 9 out of 10, and
sometimes 10. I took Motrin and ibuprofen sometimes for
pain, but I felt they were the worst option and sometimes
they caused stomach problems. The doctors I went to seemed
more interested in some kind of detoxification program and
did not really provide a solution to my pain. I did try
some chiropractic treatment, but I was not satisfied with
the doctor, who seemed more interested in my money than my
health.
One day I
was driving by Khalsa Chiropractic and decided to stop in
and check it out. From the time I first came in, I felt
like I was part of the family—the people were so warm and
friendly. Dr. Mha Atma is so wonderful and professional.
He recommended exercises, healthy eating, and adjustments as
needed.
The
results of my chiropractic treatment with Dr. Mha Atma were
excellent. Now, less than four months after starting
treatment, the pain is completely gone. My life has been
profoundly impacted by chiropractic care with Dr. Mha Atma
and his wonderful team.
I have
told all my friends and family members about my chiropractic
experience. I hope my wife and all my family will soon be
receiving Dr. Mha Atma’s wonderful chiropractic care. Since
I started chiropractic care my health has changed
dramatically and I am enjoying my life much more. I love
chiropractic and have found that it is the best medicine for
my problem
LILLIE
SOWELL
For more
than a year I had pain in both of my legs. My legs hurt
while I was sitting but they were especially bad when I was
standing or walking. I already had both of my hips
replaced—one five years before and the other a year later.
My son
Lindsay was a patient at Khalsa Chiropractic, and after
talking with him I decided to come see Dr. Mha Atma. I had
gone to a chiropractor about 20 years ago, but never since
then. Everyone here seemed very nice and helpful. Dr. Mha
Atma examined me and recommended that I come for treatment
three times the first week, then twice a week for about a
month. The treatment was very gentle.
After
one month of treatment my legs felt much better, and I then
came in once a week for another month or so. My legs felt
good! Now I am coming in for maintenance treatment every
three or four weeks, and feeling well. I feel very pleased
with my chiropractic treatment and have recommended it to
several friends. Thank you!

KAREN
DILWORTH
Chronic
pain in my neck and shoulders and right arm prevented me from sleeping.
The pain would flare up sporadically and last several days.
However, I’d been in constant pain for a month before coming to see Dr.
Mha Atma. The pain was persistent and kept me awake most nights.
I had
been taking prescription-strength ibuprofen, Vicodin and
other medications for several months—they did nothing.
I also tried physical therapy with very little results.
The Vicodin made me drowsy and I was unable to take it and
go to work or maintain regular activities.
I’d heard
of chiropractic from a co-worker and decided to try
something different because what I’d been doing wasn’t
working. I didn’t know if it would help but I was
hopeful.
When I
arrived at Khalsa Chiropractic everyone was warm, friendly
and positive. Dr. Mha Atma was very patient in
explaining what was going on with my neck and why I was
experiencing pain. His recommendations included:
1) Eat less inflammatory foods (bread, sugar, pasta, etc.),
2) Get regular chiropractic treatments, 3) Drink lots of
water, 4) Change my sleeping position from stomach to back,
5) Have my vitamin D levels checked and take supplements to
increase the levels to normal, 6) Practice better posture,
and 7) Exercise!
I’ve been
coming to Dr. Mha Atma for almost three months now. I
began to notice a difference after the first couple of
weeks. My pain gradually became less severe and less
chronic. I was able to sleep better and I began to
feel stronger and more energetic.
I am
grateful that I found out about chiropractic care. It has made a
great difference in how I feel physically as well as emotionally.
I have recommended it to several close friends, and co-workers too.
Thanks so much for the wonderful care and all of the valuable
information you continually share with me and all of your patients.
You are truly making a difference.

ROSE
PARRA
I have
been a patient at Khalsa Chiropractic for over 20 years. In
that time I have learned that there is much more to
chiropractors than meets the eye.
Dr.
Khalsa is a sensitive and caring master holistic educator.
He has taught me how to keep healthy by stressing to me the
importance of eating right, exercising regularly and
maintaining a healthy mind about life and the people who are
in my life. Whenever I have had problems with my body, Dr.
Khalsa has been able to “coax” my body to heal itself.
Chiropractic healing has made a significant difference in my
health and has improved the quality of my life and those
around me. I feel blessed to have met Dr. Khalsa and to have
been introduced to the subtle power of chiropractic
treatment.
BEN
TURNER
I was
driving to work and I was sideswiped by a large truck. My
neck started hurting really bad. It was severely stiff and
painful—I couldn’t move my head and I couldn’t work. After
a week it wasn’t any better.
I knew
that most doctors like to treat the symptoms rather than the
problem. I don’t like taking pills because I am an
athlete. I’d had chiropractic treatment before and I was
impressed with the results. So instead of going to a
medical doctor or taking drugs I came to Khalsa
Chiropractic.
I liked
the warm energy here that came from everyone. I got a very
good feeling from the doctor and staff. Dr. Mha Atma
examined me and recommended frequent chiropractic
adjustments. Within a few weeks I was feeling much better
and able to return to work and within two months I was
feeling great.
I am
greatly blessed to have found Khalsa Chiropractic. I have
told most of my friends about my experience here. Thank you
Dr. Mha Atma, Martha, Madeline and Hope!

ODELL
MCMULLEN
I had
back pain all the time and pain down my right leg. I had
the pain for many years and it was getting worse at night.
It was hard to get out of bed in the morning. The doctor I
saw wanted to do surgery on my back but said there were “no
guarantees.” I had been to other doctors and they just gave
me pain medication which did not help. I had never been to
a chiropractor before but my daughter told me I should give
it a try.
Dr. Mha
Atma had me come for some treatments and gave me some light
exercises and some instruction about eating right. I could
not believe how soon I started to feel better. Since I
started treatment I have been able to sleep at night. I can
walk a little better. It is less than three months since I
started treatment and the pain in my back and my leg is much
better now.
My
grandson and my daughter both started treatment here before
I did. They are both feeling much better. I have continued
with chiropractic treatment because I really feel the
difference in my body. And I have told some friends about
chiropractic because I think it could really help them. I
advise anyone starting chiropractic to continue the
treatment as long as the doctor recommends because it really
will help.

SCARLETT SIRE
My lower
back was aching and I had limited motion and lots of pain in
my right shoulder, upper back and neck. It was bad enough
to have a significant negative effect on my sleep, workouts,
and mood.
I had
started seeing my chiropractor in Orange County about 6
years ago for similar but much worse symptoms. Over the
years he helped my body to heal and open up. However after
years of living in L.A. it eventually became too difficult
for me to continue driving to O.C. for appointments. It had
been several months since my last adjustment and my old
symptoms were flaring up once again.
My
chiropractic experiences had greatly benefited my life. It
was only a matter of finding someone I could trust with my
body here in L.A. A friend referred me to Dr. Mha Atma which
made me feel at ease and more trusting. It was during my
first visit that I felt and appreciated for myself the
friendly, non-judgmental atmosphere of the office and of the
doctor himself.
Dr. Mha
Atma recommended multiple visits for the first few weeks,
then once weekly adjustments. The positive effects of his
adjustments were apparent almost immediately. I always feel
better after leaving his office than I do when I enter.
I have
recommended chiropractic care to many friends and
family. I’m a believer and I always look forward to my
adjustments with Dr. Mha Atma!

ROCHELLE HOGUE
I had
chronic sciatica-like pain in my lower back, left hip, and
left leg, as well as chronic, severe tension in my neck and
right shoulder. I also suffered from general fatigue and an
overall sense of not feeling right. The back and leg pain
started about ten years ago; the neck and shoulder pain was
there for several years as well.
It’s
funny when things start gradually—you manage to excuse it
away, then compensate by holding your body a certain way,
and the next thing you know, nothing you do helps and you’re
walking around in constant discomfort. I occasionally took
ibuprofen, but I didn’t like taking it because I knew I was
only temporarily targeting the symptoms, not treating the
cause.
Before I
ever came to Khalsa Chiropractic, I was taking walks early
in the morning and I’d walk past the building. It felt like
I’d been circling the place for months. I was highly
recommended to Dr. Mha Atma during a chance meeting with a
very nice woman named Carla. Getting a recommendation is
the best advertisement.
Once I
finally came in to make my first appointment, it felt very
homey and welcoming. Dr. Mha Atma recommended twice weekly
appointments for a month or so, and then once weekly. I did
come in twice a week for four weeks, then once a week for
the next three months. In addition to his very sure-handed
adjustments, Dr. Mha Atma also gave me some simple exercises
and stretches to do. I’ve done these faithfully and believe
they have paid an integral part in helping me heal.
I walked
into this office with pretty intense chronic pain. I felt
totally disjointed, like a Picasso painting. I was aware of
every step I took because it hurt. Now I feel like all my
sticky rusty parts finally got some oil and I’m not creaky
and squeaky anymore. Now when I move I feel like a
jellyfish—like I’m floating. I still have some neck and
shoulder issues, but it continues to get better, slowly but
surely. I know that chiropractic will always be a part of
my general health maintenance. It’s like brushing and
flossing, but for your bones and joints!
Years ago
I encouraged my mother to see a chiropractor and she still
goes to this day for general health maintenance. She no
longer has the pain she used to have and no longer has to
take medication. I have told many others about
chiropractic—as many as there are stars in the sky!
Also I
would like to mention the amazing staff who treat each
patient with the utmost courtesy and respect. Walking into
the office feels like being given a nice warm hug. Thank
you all!

MARIANNE POWELL
For six
weeks I had severe pain in my lower back and down my left
leg to my calf. I could not walk far, and I had pain
frequently, especially getting up in the morning or after a
nap. I took painkillers occasionally which helped a
little. I did not see any doctors for this condition—I knew
chiropractic was called for.
A
previous good experience with a chiropractor in Pasadena led
me to look for one in L.A. I found Dr. Mha Atma’s business
card at Yoga West where I was working.
I found
the office to be very warm and the doctor seemed very
capable. The office was great—it was neat and provided
water, tea and delicious apples. The doctor was clean and
knowledgeable, firm and kind.
He
started treatment the first visit and also recommended
certain exercises to practice daily and attendance at his
Wellness Workshop. The treatment resulted in a steady
loosening of the “stuck” vertebrae and a rapid lessening of
the pain. The exercises were helpful in increasing
flexibility and strengthening my body. The Wellness
Workshop was refreshing and informative.
The
care from the doctor and his staff was exceptional. Thank
you so very much. Peace!

TOM LESTER
I have
had pain on the right side of my neck for decades—since my
early 20s. I began chiropractic treatment many years ago
because I was in very severe pain from TMJ. I have seen
many chiropractors with positive results but still had some
pain.
I came to
Khalsa Chiropractic for ongoing treatment and found it very
helpful. I am very impressed with the doctor and the
staff. The treatment has been great, and the stretches Dr.
Mha Atma gave me are very helpful. In the past year, since
I have been coming here, I have had my pain disappear and my
overall health improve including my state of mind—a much
more positive feeling.
I have
great faith in chiropractic, would absolutely recommend it,
and have told many others about its benefits. I am very
glad I found Dr. Mha Atma—the best chiropractor I have ever
been to!

ZELDA BARROW
I was
unable to walk for nine months because of striking pain in
my lower back and in my left calf. I was in a wheelchair.
For months my primary doctor sent me to different
specialists but not one seemed to know what was going on
with me. Finally they took an MRI of my lower back and said
that the problem came from my spine.
I refused
to take more than one pain medication which was
extra-strength Tylenol. I was very worried that I wouldn’t
be able to walk again. Then my church sister suggested that
I see Dr. Mha Atma. She gave me the phone number and I
called right away. I didn’t know if chiropractic could
help, but I had to try everything I could, hoping something
will work.
I came to
Khalsa Chiropractic the first time in a wheelchair.
Everyone was so nice. I felt the difference my first
treatment. Dr. Mha Atma asked me to come for regular
treatments and taught me some very useful exercises which I
am still doing today. Later I heard him explain in the
Wellness Workshop all that we should and should not do to
keep a healthy spine.
When I
started my treatment, I progressed from a wheelchair, to a
walker, and now to a cane. I am walking with a cane now and
feeling much better. I found that chiropractic works and I
will tell everyone what chiropractic care has done for me.
I
thank everyone for being so nice, and Dr. Mha Atma for such
a well-done job!

DIANA DESIO
I had
such a stiff neck that I could barely turn my head. It was
a challenge driving without being able to move my head!
Most of the pain I get is in my neck and upper back. I also
have suffered from tension headaches and occasional
migraines. I had been to my medical doctor who prescribed a
muscle relaxant which gave temporary relief but I could not
take them long term and they made me drowsy which made
driving dangerous.
When I
couldn’t move my neck a co-worker suggested Khalsa
Chiropractic to me. I was able to get an appointment that
same day! A chiropractic adjustment always makes me feel
better, so I knew it would help.
I was
very impressed on my first appointment by the care and
detail taken by the staff and doctor to inform me what my
experience and treatment would be like. I had been to
another chiropractor but had never had my condition
explained to me as I did here. Dr. Mha Atma gave me some
stretches and exercises to help with the pain, along with
regular chiropractic treatments.
After my
first treatment I was able to move my neck. Then I had
about six treatments in the first couple of weeks and I was
about 90 percent better. It was great! I still get a
twinge every now and then, but I know that relief is just an
adjustment away.
I would
absolutely recommend chiropractic care to people who need to
feel better and stay healthy and I have directly encouraged
at least 5 or 6 to try chiropractic. I love it and am glad
it’s available to me, even when I had no insurance! At the
time I first came in I did not have medical insurance and I
was so happy that I got amazing care and treatment at such
an affordable price.
Everyone in the office has been so warm and welcoming. I
really feel special and cared for when I’m here.

HASSAN FARHOOD
I had
a frozen shoulder. It was painful to move it more than a
little bit. I had pain in my shoulder and upper arm and in
my back for months. It was serious, even crippling.
I take
no medications. I don’t believe in ingesting toxic
chemicals. I had never been to a chiropractor before but I
chose to come after listening to an intuitive, inner voice.
I felt that chiropractic would help me.
From
the first visit I was very impressed with Dr. Mha Atma, with
the Khalsa Chiropractic office, and with the results. My
progress was observable on a weekly basis. Besides the
chiropractic treatment twice weekly, Dr. Mha Atma
recommended eating mostly raw vegetarian food. The whole
treatment took four months to resolve the frozen shoulder
and the back pain, with over 90 percent healing at the end
of that time.
I am
telling everyone I know about the benefits of chiropractic.
I recommend that they be patient with their healing progress
since changes in connective tissue take time. I love
chiropractic care. It is my first line of therapy for
structural issues and above all I would use it for my
family.
Chiropractic therapy with Dr. Mha Atma exceeded my
expectations. I leave his office with a deep physical sense
of relief from pain and discomfort. Dr. Mha Atma, however,
is more than a chiropractor. He is an excellent
nutritionist and deeply understands the human body and its
balance and harmony.

PAIGE COOPER
After training to run the LA
Marathon 2 years ago, I began experiencing lower back pain.
I kept thinking it was only temporary and that it would go
away, but when the pain continued for 6 months after I
stopped running, I saw my first chiropractor. Unfortunately,
I didn’t see any results from this practitioner, so when my
hiking buddy Mimi told me how incredible her chiropractor
Dr. Khalsa was, I decided to switch and see him. Even
though I was skeptical because my first chiropractic
experience wasn’t successful, I was in pain and needed
help.
As soon as I began seeing Dr.
Khalsa, my lower back pain began to decrease. I first saw
him twice a week for 4 weeks, then only needed to see him
once a week, and finally once every three weeks. He told me
from the very beginning that I needed to eat a more
anti-inflammatory diet and do some basic core exercises he
showed me. I did the exercises for about a week and tried to
gradually add more fruits and vegetables, but the
consistency of a good diet was lacking; However, my back
pain was gone, so I thought I was doing pretty well.
I was wrong.
About 2 months ago, I got a
new puppy. After bending down and playing with her all day,
I knew that night I was in trouble. The next morning, my
back was in so much pain that I couldn’t get out of bed.
With a brand new puppy in the kitchen, I painfully hobbled
out of bed, called Dr. Khalsa’s office and got in to see him
that morning. I had strained my lower back and needed to see
him 3 times that week and for 3 weeks after. I was basically
confined to my bed with an ice pack on my back for the first
week, and only got out of the house to let my puppy out and
to see Dr. Khalsa.
I’ve never experienced pain
like that, and I learned that the back strain was largely
due to having a weak core because I had not done the daily
core exercises Dr. Khalsa had recommended for the past year.
- shame, shame!
Even before the pain was
gone, I began doing the core exercises as best I could and
continued to see Dr. Khalsa. Within a week, I was walking
normally again. Within 3 weeks, the pain had gone entirely,
and now I see him again once every 3 weeks for maintenance.
Because of Dr. Khalsa’s truly
healing hands and the kindness, concern, and care of his
entire staff, my back and entire body are so much stronger
than ever before. I enjoy coming into the office with the
calming environment, teas, and apples, and I now protect my
back by using supportive pillows, shoes, and completing my
core exercises on a regular basis. I’m still working on the
diet, but I am much more conscious now of the foods I eat
and whether or not they are anti-inflammatory.
I have
shared my chiropractic experience and the knowledge I’ve
gained to all my friends and family, and while some remain
skeptical, the ones who have experienced real back pain know
the benefits of a truly gifted chiropractor.
JEFF MACK
My lower
back was hurting so bad I had difficulty standing, and a
nerve pinching in my leg made it hurt to sit down at work.
Besides the pain in my lower back and left leg, I also had
stiffness in my upper and middle back. I have suffered on
and off for over a decade.
On a
scale of 1 to 10 I would say the severity of the pain was
about an eleven. I have seen medical doctors and had images
taken and nothing helped. I was told that muscle relaxants
and pain pills were most likely going to be a way of life
whenever my back hurt. The next step in their opinion would
be surgery. Their medical treatments just masked the pain.
I hate taking medicine because it impairs the entire body.
A
co-worker had been coming to Khalsa Chiropractic and
suggested I try chiropractic. I had never been to a
chiropractor and I had HUGE doubts! I didn’t think it would
help and I thought it wasn’t real. But I was in so much
pain I was willing to try anything!
When I
arrived I thought the office was very soothing and
relaxing. The staff was very helpful and nice, and the
doctor put me at ease and made me feel comfortable. He
recommended a treatment regimen and home exercises.
I have
been coming for three months now and I feel amazing! My leg
no longer hurts and my back feels great. I am like a new
man.
I would
now recommend chiropractic care to everyone. I would say
don’t wait until it gets so bad—prevent what I endured. It
is worth all the money in the world. I tell everyone I know
about chiropractic, both locally and around the country. I
am a convert! It is absolutely amazing. I was most likely
the biggest skeptic EVER! Now I am chiropractic’s biggest
fan!
Dr.
Mha Atma really cares about the overall well being of his
patients. I have had such a great experience here! I plan
to be a long time patient to make sure I maintain health and
well-being!

JOYCE WEATHERSBY
Before
I first came to see Dr. Mha Atma ten years ago (1998) I had
severe pain in the middle of my lower back and severe pain
in my right hip. These problems prevented me from bending,
walking or sitting. My doctor had diagnosed me in 1980 with
a “bruised vertebra”. The treatment consisted of pain
killers, which did not fix the problems but relaxed me and
made me sleep.
I did not
want to live my life taking pain killers. I chose Dr. Mha
Atma because of his holistic lifestyle. I was confident
that chiropractic would help because, as a girl, my mother
treated me with herbs when I was sick and she went to a
chiropractor who treated her for arthritis in her arms and
legs and made her feel well.
When I
came to Khalsa Chiropractic I found that the staff was
filled with love and gentleness. They were professional and
nurturing and made me feel comfortable. I felt like I was
in a country doctor’s office where I knew the good doctor
would take care of me. Dr. Mha Atma told me that regular
adjustments would be the key to my healing and also taught
me how to sleep properly.
Since I
began chiropractic treatment I have not had pain in my lower
back and hip for a long time. When I do have pain I come in
and get an adjustment and I feel fine. I have continued
with chiropractic care because it is so healing and always
works. Chiropractic has allowed me to work in my yard and
take care of my grandchildren and play with them when they
come to visit. I can also go salsa dancing every Saturday
night from 9 PM to 1:30 AM non-stop.
Chiropractic has helped my son-in-law. He can now cycle 136
miles a week and sit at his desk for long periods of time.
I have told everyone in my family and many friends about
chiropractic. I would want everyone to know about the
healing benefits I received. If you have just started
chiropractic care, I recommend that you continue with the
treatment and you will definitely get results.
It is
a matter of life and death to me to continue treatments with
Dr. Mha Atma. This office has made me feel comfortable and
warm—when I come here I feel like I am visiting with family
and friends. The staff has made my grandchildren feel
comfortable. Dr. Mha Atma sincerely cares about my
well-being and I am thankful for that.

ARTHUR SALDANHA
I was
having lower back pain and headaches. My lower back and
shoulders were always hurting and tight. I’d had the
problems for years. I never thought they were related to my
posture and spine.
Although
the problem was moderately painful, I never saw any doctors
for it and I certainly never went to a chiropractor. I used
to think that chiropractic was “hippie magic.”
My
girlfriend roped me in, luring me to see Dr. Mha Atma with a
certificate for a no-charge first visit that he gives for
Patient Appreciation Day. I always thought that
chiropractic was not a real science and I doubted it could
be of any help. I was so wrong!
Dr. Mha
Atma helped me work on my posture and adjusted my lower back
and neck. My headaches went away and my lower back and
shoulders now feel great!! Now, I absolutely recommend
chiropractic to others, and I’ve given Dr. Mha Atma’s info
to friends and even to complete strangers complaining of
back problems.
I
really don’t know why I fought chiropractic care for so
long. When I finally came, I did so begrudgingly. But
after just a few weeks, I found myself really enjoying my
visits and feeling so much better after leaving. I
now have so much respect for the science of chiropractic.

LORI MOORE
For over
ten years I had neck and shoulder pain which made it
difficult for me to sleep well. I was told by doctors that
my sleep problem was caused by allergies. I took sleeping
pills for a short period. They didn’t help—I did not feel
well-rested.
My
mother, Jestine Moore, told me about Khalsa Chiropractic
three years ago. She said that she had been feeling better
since starting chiropractic treatment. I noticed that her
posture had improved. I came to see Dr. Mha Atma once a
couple of years ago, and this year I finally came back to
start regular treatment. I was very pleased with everyone
in the office. Dr. Mha Atma and his staff are very
professional and caring individuals.
Dr. Mha
Atma suggested that I maintain a healthy diet and exercise,
and that I begin chiropractic treatment by coming twice
weekly. My body was very tense and tight. Now after a few
months of treatment, I am able to get a very good night’s
sleep and I feel well rested in the morning. The tension
and pain in my body has been reduced about 75 percent.
After
researching chiropractic care and experiencing the benefits,
I am extremely pleased about my results. It has been a
pleasure coming to this office to receive my chiropractic
adjustments. Dr. Mha Atma and his staff have been friendly
and very knowledgeable about the benefits of chiropractic
care and a healthy lifestyle. I look forward to my
treatments each week. I am convinced that I made the right
decision to start chiropractic care. I feel great!

STEPHANIE STEPHENS
I started
with Dr. Khalsa when my lower back went into spasm. I was
waking up each morning with a headache, and experiencing
dizziness several times during the day. My right shoulder
and neck were painful and stiff. But it was my lumbar
spasms that drove me to seek chiropractic help.
I have
used chiropractic throughout my life as the first line of
treatment because my Dad was a chiropractor and I was raised
to know that this is an effective approach for physical
ailments. But, as is usual as life goes on, I had become
lax about maintenance.
I have
always avoided medication, and have had a succession of
chiropractors through the years—some more effective than
others.
I decided
to give Dr. Khalsa’s treatment a try because he is covered
by my medical insurance and he is near where I live. I had
found in the past that the drive home from treatment tended
to cause my back pain to recur, so distance is important for
me.
I was
pleased at my first visit by the neatness of the office, the
warmth of the personnel and by Dr. Khalsa’s thorough and
very professional demeanor. I began a frequent schedule of
adjustments, gradually spacing them out as my complaints
lessened.
Dr.
Khalsa has given me a series of exercises to help improve
my conditions and, along with regular adjustments, my
symptoms have improved nearly to the point of complete
freedom from pain and dizziness.
Chiropractic is a philosophy of health that I am always
happy to share enthusiastically with friends and family. I
find Dr. Khalsa’s treatments to be efficient and effective,
given with caring as well as thought and experience.

KATHLEEN NEARY
I threw
my lower back out and I couldn’t walk. I was horizontal on
the floor for the weekend. I was taking Tylenol and a
friend gave me some Vicodin. I was in so much pain and a
friend suggested I see Dr. Mha Atma. I’d never been to a
chiropractor before or really had any experience with a “bad
back.” It had never crossed my mind to see a chiropractor
for preventative reasons.
I loved
the office right away! It had a cute homey feeling and
Mikaela’s welcoming was about as warm as it could be. The
apples and tea and everything were warm and welcoming.
Dr. Mha
Atma recommended some stretches along with chiropractic
treatment. I really liked his explanation about the way my
spine moves, using props to show me what was happening and
patiently answering all my questions. He also gave me
stretches, exercises and eating suggestions as I was ready
for them. Nothing felt overwhelming.
Gradually my back got much better. Now it feels great! I’ve
already recommended chiropractic care to a couple of
friends. I think chiropractic is amazing and that Dr. Mha
Atma has magic hands. Thank you thank you!

TASH MOSLEY
I
initially visited Dr. Khalsa after experiencing a nerve
pinch in my back during November 2001. I was young at the
time and concerned that the pinch meant that somehow I would
have irrevocably bad posture and overall health. The pain
lasted a month before I decided to seek treatment and my
first stop was Dr. Khalsa. Prior to visiting Dr. K I wasn’t
keen on regular doctor visits because I figured I was young
and healthy and my body knew the perfect way to sustain and
rejuvenate itself.
I visited
Doctor Khalsa at the behest of my aunt Inless. She educated
me that my spine is the superhighway of health. She told me
that if I was experiencing congestion in one part of the
spine it would affect me elsewhere and the perfect
sustenance and rejuvenation I expected could be blocked.
Although
it was my first time to visit a chiropractor, I went to Dr.
Khalsa with an open mind and heart and wound up learning
more about my overall health. He recommended I come often
at first for adjustments and then come just occasionally.
After ten sessions of regular treatment I felt great—the
pinch was completely gone, never to return. I stood taller
and felt more relaxed.
I have
been a regular patient ever since—for almost seven years. I
have continued with chiropractic care because it always
makes me feel good. I now have a greater and holistic
understanding of my health and its relationship to
everything from food consumption to media consumption.
My mom
and brothers have been chiropractic patients, and have
experienced overall health benefits. I would recommend
chiropractic care to anyone but particularly with Dr. Khalsa
because under his stewardship it is a lesson in maintaining
overall physical and mental health. I now feel that
chiropractic care is a must—a lifelong addition to keeping
me flexible in mind and body.
The
staff—Hope, Mikaela, Simran and Martha—are a joy. I enjoy
seeing every one of them each time I do. Thank you and God
Bless.
KELLY
RAREY
My
neck and shoulders and my lower back were very tight for
years. It was a frequent annoyance but I never saw a doctor
or took any medications—I just lived with it. A friend
recommended Dr. Mha Atma so highly that I was very curious
about what he could do for me.
The
office made a great impression on me. The entire place has
a relaxing energy—from the tea to the friendly faces in the
front to the cozy atmosphere. Dr. Mha Atma recommended
continued regular chiropractic visits and
stretching/strengthening exercises.
I was
really impressed with how quickly I felt relief. One of the
biggest changes now is that when I’m on my feet for long
periods of time my back doesn’t hurt. I just feel great
overall! I feel like my posture has improved and that my
body is more relaxed.
I have
absolutely been recommending chiropractic care to others.
It really seems like everyone could benefit and I think that
many people are like I was—they feel “off” but not bad
enough that it feels urgent to take care of it. I now think
chiropractic is wonderful and look forward to continuing my
care.
I do
my best to lead a healthful, holistic lifestyle. Since
beginning my chiropractic care I have been motivated to make
changes in my exercise routine that have shown great results
and have also done a 3-week detox diet, and I now truly feel
that I am at my best. This is a big year for me—lots of job
changes and getting married very soon—and I found my
chiropractic adjustments to be nice reminders to take care
of myself and to nurture my body and soul amidst everything
that is going on in the world.

JOE TORRES
I’ve had
back pain for 20 years, both excruciating lower back pain
and shooting sciatica. One night a couple of years ago, my
wife and I had one of her very good friends, Elena Lobito,
over to the house for dinner. My back had been acting up
all week and I was not in a very good mood because of it.
So when my wife ratted me out, Elena immediately said “You
should go see my guy—he’s terrific and will really help
you.” Turned out her “guy” is Dr. Mha Atma.
I was
more than a little skeptical of doctors in general and had
seen a chiropractor before with no positive effects. But at
my wife’s urging (translation: persistent nagging) I made an
appointment with Khalsa Chiropractic. When I returned home
afterwards, she was surprised to see a smile on my face.
The pain was eased tremendously in just that first session.
I became such a true believer that I immediately purchased
10 sessions (Khalsa Chiropractic gave me a pre-pay
discount!) and have been going regularly ever since. I
recently received another 10-session packet from my wife for
my birthday gift!
Dr.
Mha Atma is caring, compassionate and a true professional.
Khalsa Chiropractic is a warm, friendly place and the ladies
in the front office are so nice and welcoming. It has
changed my life. Now whenever I hear someone say that they
have back problems, I say, “You should go and see MY guy!”

LEONARD LUMAS
For over
ten years I had pain in my hips, stiffness and pain in my
lower back, and my neck always ached. I had very occasional
chiropractic treatment but no corrective care or complete
spinal adjustments. The symptoms remained.
A friend
of mine bragged about Dr. Mha Atma. I came with her to
observe her treatment and was impressed by how Dr. Mha Atma
went right to the problem areas—some of which I suffered
from but had never been treated. I knew he could help me!
I was
impressed by the kindness of the staff and Dr. Mha Atma’s
professional approach to treating the spine and entire
body. This was obviously a conscious office and practice.
I started
regular treatment 3 times weekly, then twice weekly, now
once weekly. Dr. Mha Atma gave me sitting and standing
exercises, and I attended his class on wellness and
nutrition.
For the
short amount of time it takes for my treatment my life is so
much better. I feel great. And when I drive I can now turn
my head and see better over my shoulders.
I have
now told dozens of people about the benefits of chiropractic
care and highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you!

JAMES SCHNEIDER
My lower
back was acutely painful. It was debilitating—I couldn’t
walk or stand up. I needed help.
I came to
Khalsa Chiropractic because the office is in my neighborhood
and I had heard good things about it. I had previous
positive experiences with chiropractic and, although I was a
mess, I was confident it would help.
"James' dog"
I found
the office to be a peaceful place and seriously focused on
promoting good health without condescension. Dr. Mha Atma
recommended some intensive chiropractic treatment along with
exercise, healthy diet, and rest. The results were very
positive. I felt almost immediate improvement, and with
frequent treatment for a couple of months felt very much
better. Now I am continuing with less frequent, twice
monthly maintenance treatment.
I am a
big proponent of chiropractic care and recommend it whenever
I can. It has been a good experience to reconnect with my
body. And to be reminded about the proper care and feeding
of the body!

CHIRELLE LOONEY
For years
I had pain in my neck and shoulders and back and headaches.
I was constantly trying to relieve it by turning, squirming,
and twitching and kept trying to pop it back into place
without success. I didn’t go to any doctors or take
any medications for this, but I just couldn’t sit or stand
still. I told my friend Kandi about it and she said
she felt the same way until she found Dr. Mha Atma. I
wasn’t sure if chiropractic could help me but at that point
I didn’t care, I couldn’t stand another day, so I called and
scheduled an appointment.
On my
first visit the calming atmosphere of the office and the
wonderful staff made me feel positive and hopeful. Dr.
Mha Atma recommended corrective chiropractic care beginning
at three visits weekly, then twice a week. I had
ignored the problem so long that it has taken frequent
treatment for awhile to correct, but I am thrilled with the
results. I feel so much better and in my opinion Dr.
Mha Atma is a miracle worker.
I’m
definitely a believer now and have been giving out Dr. Mha Atma’s cards
to friends and acquaintances. I’m so grateful to Kandi for
referring me to Khalsa Chiropractic that I almost can’t find the right
words to express my appreciation. I have the highest regard for
Dr. Mha Atma and am immensely grateful to him for everything he has done
to help me feel better. What a world of difference since I have
been coming for chiropractic care! Thank you from the bottom of my
heart.

JANA EDWARDS
For at
least two years I was having back pain so severe that it
interrupted my work, sleep and play. The pain was in my
lower and middle back and also in my neck. It caused
sleepless nights and I had no concentration ability at
work. It became a continuous problem. I took Advil—that
was no help. I was also prescribed Vicodin and that made me
very sick so I discontinued it.
I had
never had a chiropractic adjustment in my life. I was
referred to Khalsa Chiropractic by my Kaiser physician in
June 2007. I was totally afraid of the word chiropractor.
I doubted that it would help. But I wanted some
relief—quickly and safely. I also wanted to understand how
and why my body was having these problems, and no one had
been able to explain it to me.
I found
Dr. Mha Atma and the office to be very professional and
caring. He recommended twice weekly and then once-weekly
adjustments, explaining every step of an adjustment and what
I should expect from my visits. I was very glad that the
doctor called me the day after my first adjustment just to
see how I was feeling.
Now,
after about six months, the pain is very minimal. I am
sleeping much better, able to concentrate, and just enjoying
life. Dr. Mha Atma also gave me a lot of information about
nutrition and exercise which has helped me tremendously. I
now know that chiropractic is truly wonderful. When I have
a chance, I explain the process to people who may be afraid
(as I was). Thank you!

GAIL BRAUNER
I had
just moved back to California from out of state and had all
the strains and stresses of a long-distance move. My
shoulders and upper back felt very tight and my range of
motion was limited. I also had worked at an office job for
years and had tension from sitting at a desk too long.
I’ve
actually been a fan of chiropractic for years and had been
seeing someone in Minnesota. It always made me feel better
but I still had some stress in my upper body. A friend of a
friend recommended Khalsa Chiropractic so I came to the
Wellness Workshop. I was very impressed with Dr. Mha Atma’s
knowledge and the staff’s professionalism and helpful
attitude. I found the atmosphere in the office very
welcoming.
When I
came in as a patient shortly after the workshop, Dr. Mha
Atma recommended weekly treatments until my condition
stabilized. Now after two months I’m feeling greater range
of motion in my upper back and shoulders, less tension, and
even a more positive attitude. It’s brought me more inner
peace and relaxation too!
I’m
feeling really great now and look forward to regular
maintenance visits. I would definitely recommend
chiropractic to others. I’ve always believed in
chiropractic, but Dr. Mha Atma has helped take my body and
spirit to a whole new level!

ARON WOERTINK
For a
couple of months I had lower back pain and numbness
throughout my left leg. I had difficulty sleeping,
difficulty focusing during the day, and a lack of energy. I
also had neck discomfort. I was unable to pick my children
up. I could not stand up and play with them—not good.
My wife
came to Khalsa Chiropractic and raved about her visit and
about the professionalism of the doctor and staff. I had
been to a chiropractor before and had no doubt that it would
help. When I first came to the office, it felt like home.
There was great music, treats, and tea. I trusted the
doctor instantly, and the staff as well.
Most
doctors have not taken the time to understand the issues and
proper treatments needed to become well. Dr. Mha Atma
follows through and monitors the results. He had me come
for adjustments twice a week for several weeks, then once
weekly. He gave me various exercises for stretching and
strengthening my back. Gradually my body became more limber
and relaxed. I can focus easier on work and have more
energy—two-fold. In short, I feel amazing, and I sleep
better too.
My
wife has benefited from treatment here…and now she is less
cranky with me! I absolutely recommend chiropractic and
have talked to many family members and friends about it.
I’m sold. I would come here every day if I could.

CHIKO &
PAULETTA FLOYD
Although
we’ve both had treatments with many chiropractors over the
years, we’ve never experienced such techniques and results
as we have received from Dr. Mha Atma. My husband Chiko was
experiencing painful headaches and lower back pain and had
limited movement in his neck. I was seen for shoulder pain
as well as severe back spasms (sometimes so bad I couldn’t
move) and foot pain.
On the
initial visits Dr. Mha Atma took time to enlighten us about
how the nerves in our spine have a direct link to every
organ of the body in some way. He explained that regular
adjustments could eliminate many problems including those we
sometimes don’t realize we have. I must say that in the
beginning we were a bit skeptical—after all we have gone
down this road so many times before. What could he do that
the others hadn’t done already?
But we
must admit that our experience at Khalsa Chiropractic has
made a great difference in our lifestyle. The personal care
and professional treatment we’ve received at the Khalsa
Chiropractic facility have truly been a blessing. And we
also love the fact that there is almost no waiting time
getting in for your appointment—now that’s a real blessing.
Thank
you for enhancing our lives and helping to improve our
health.

MONICA SABREDA
I first
came to Khalsa Chiropractic looking for relief from severe
pain in my right arm and neck pain. I was recommended to
Dr. Mha Atma by someone whom I was working with at the
time.
It was
not my first experience with chiropractic. I was bedridden
as a child and was seeing all kinds of medical specialists
and not getting any better. I was receiving home tutoring
in bed and could not use my hands to write. I was willing
to try anything, and when someone suggested that my mother
take me to a chiropractor, my life changed and I got
better.
Dr. Mha
Atma recommended chiropractic adjustments and exercise. He
also recommended listening to my body, which is the best
advice anyone could give. I never experienced the instant
noticeable relief that I have with being treated at Khalsa
Chiropractic. It was often difficult for other
chiropractors to adjust me and they were not as gentle. I
had very positive results from my initial treatment and I
continue to come to keep my body aligned—it is an ongoing
process.
I have
continued with chiropractic care because of the physical
stress of my profession (physical work and lots of
traveling) and my preexisting conditions—I need to continue
to maintain my body with regular adjustments. Ongoing
chiropractic treatment has kept my body from falling apart,
from developing pinched nerves, and other horrible things.
I love
chiropractic care. I wouldn’t trade it for any other form
of treatment. I recommend it to everyone I know as a way to
relieve pain without using drugs and to really be able to
work through it by listening to your body. My advice to
beginning chiropractic patients is that it benefits you more
long term—stick with it and follow the doctor’s instructions
and it will work.
This
office has always accommodated my hectic schedule with
loving kindness. I couldn’t be seeing a better
chiropractor. I was very blessed to find this office. I
feel everyone at this office has your best interest at heart
and everyone works together to make your treatment easy and
enjoyable.

RAYE DOWELL
I
discovered Khalsa Chiropractic after being in a car accident
in Utah. I experienced shock and pain in my lower back and
neck. I was taken to the emergency room immediately after
the accident where they gave me pain killers that numbed the
pain and made me feel drowsy and “out of it.” When the
drugs wore off the pain returned and persisted. I knew
there had to be a more holistic way to treat my symptoms of
headaches and back pain. I knew it was time to try
something new.
Someone
in my Kundalini yoga class recommended I check out Dr. Mha
Atma. I decided, after hearing about the powerful benefits
of chiropractic care, that I should give Khalsa Chiropractic
a try. I had been to a chiropractor before only once, a
long long time before, and I really wasn’t sure about it.
But the recommendations I had were such strong testimonials
that I had faith in the positive benefits.
My first
impression was that the office seemed cozy and nurturing. I
had to surrender any notion of what to expect so I could be
present for the experience. I found Dr. Mha Atma to be
knowledgeable and thorough.
The
treatment was a slow and steady process. I felt that
chiropractic care along with my Kundalini yoga practice
helped release the shock and pain from my lower back. I am
happy to say that I continue to be a patient ten years
later. I find that my body, after giving birth to two sons,
really appreciates and feels better after every adjustment.
I have less migraines and more flexibility. And by
continuing the work I am able to see and feel where and when
my spine and my life are stuck.
During my
time as a patient here my husband discovered the benefits of
chiropractic care, and my children have also had
adjustments. I have shared my experience of chiropractic
with many friends. I recommend it as an excellent tool to
feel better—body, mind and spirit! I suggest that if you
are just beginning chiropractic care not to judge it right
way—allow it to have a cumulative effect and you will see
the benefits.
I feel
very positive about my chiropractic care and find it
extraordinarily beneficial. The doctor and staff at Khalsa
Chiropractic really care about the patients and support us
to be proactive about self-care and maintaining optimum
health.

IRIS PATTON
After a long and ugly separation and divorce my former
husband remarried June 3, 2007. Shortly after his marriage I
found myself unable to walk without the help of a cane. The
debilitating pain radiating from my back and down my left
leg had been building since the beginning of the year. I had
been going to a chiropractor and getting massages but
nothing they seemed to do made the pain go away and not come
back. About four weeks after his marriage the pain in my
body gradually began to subside. Finally, feeling pain and
anguish free, I decided to single
handedly
remove an
overgrown Boston fern from my back yard. The working of my
muscles, the sweat, and expenditure of energy felt good. I
was putting things in order. Tired and hungry, I decided to
push a little more and round out my efforts for the day. In
that last little push which consisted of bending over with a
6 or 7 lb hedge trimmer, I could feel an old back injury
resurface and give way.
The pain that ripped through my mind and body made it
difficult to lie down, to walk, to drive, to sit. I called
on others to help me. They drove me to my appointments, gave
me crutches, and brought me food. The massage therapists I
tried were clueless. I only hurt myself more with their
treatments and recommendations. The chiropractor I had been
seeing before this incident did not seem to acknowledge the
severity of my pain. He gave me the same treatment he had
given me before my back injury and told me I would get past
it. I changed chiropractors. The next doctor took an x-ray
which showed a compressed disk. He suggested I get an MRI
and prescriptions for oral steroidals and pain medication. I
did all three. Then my mother arrived and immediately took
over. My mother took me to a doctor who did ultrasound and
used a vibrating device called a Thumper. Even though I
loathed the idea of taking drugs I found I needed them just
to deal with my pain, my mother and that man using that
Thumper on my back. The only thing that saved me was my
mother bringing me home to LA.
All of September I just let my body heal. Somewhere during
that period I met Kylia, a friend of my niece, who told her
about my back. Kylia gave me her story about how Dr. Mha
Atma helped her and her father. I was impressed. I decided
to give Dr. Mha Atma a try—and I am grateful I did.
When I walked into the office I immediately felt
comfortable. The water, the tea, the apples—everyone was so
thoughtful, so open, so warm and non-judgmental. I needed
that. I gave Dr. Mha Atma the diagnosis of my MRI and he
treated me with such gentleness and concern. The exercises
he gave me and encouragement were just what I needed to
heal. His class on diet, posture, and emotional and mental
trauma affirmed my own beliefs. His use of the acupressure
points allowed me to move my healing to another level with
acupuncture and Chinese herbs.
After just over two months I am sitting and sleeping without
pain. I walk without crutches and twinges in my lumbar spine
are gradually becoming less and less. I can also do my
exercises without pain. I still need to work on consistency
and duration, but I am coming along quite well. I am
pleased.
Thank you Dr. Mha Atma for helping me,

YUMA PEREZ
I first
came to Khalsa Chiropractic because my back was stuck and I
couldn’t move. I had the problem for over a year. It was
painful.
I had
never been to a chiropractor because of all the stories you
hear. But I was at the point where I couldn’t walk and I
figured I had to get over my fear of doctors and do
something. Then a friend recommended Dr. Mha Atma,
I had
lots of doubts, and I didn’t understand that your body needs
to be maintained, just like anything else. When I finally
came, my experience was very positive. The doctor was
someone whom I could trust, and everyone in the entire
office was very friendly and had great positive energy.
Dr. Mha
Atma recommended I come see him twice a week and gave me
exercises to strengthen my back. I also came to the
Wellness Workshop. I gradually went from coming twice a
week to once per month. Now I’m able to walk without pain
and I feel good. I also have changed my way of thinking to
a more positive attitude.
I have
been a patient at Khalsa Chiropractic for almost two years
now. I keep coming because monthly adjustments continue to
keep my body healthy and happy. People who saw me before I
started chiropractic treatment and see me now notice the
difference and I tell them that it pays to be disciplined
about maintaining your health.
I am
very open now to trying different experiences and I have
learned that it was fear that kept me from being well. You
reap what you sow. Life is about choices and positive
thinking. If I say I feel great and do what it takes to get
there I will.

PAULETTE SEAGRAVES
I first
came to see Dr. Mha Atma many years ago at the insistence of
a very dear friend who told me that chiropractic would
improve my heath. I had no pain at the time, and was
skeptical because my two previous experiences going to
chiropractors had not been positive.
Despite
my resistance, I did come to Khalsa Chiropractic, and the
office and Dr. Mha Atma made an immediate and excellent
impression on me. I found Khalsa Chiropractic to be a true
oasis of health and well-being. I found that chiropractic
adjustment—and later the massage treatments I received
here—provided a wonderful support for good health and life
alignment!
Regular
chiropractic adjustments have made a big difference in my
life. I found that they align both my body and my life.
They were especially helpful through eight years of dealing
with chronic fatigue syndrome. Chiropractic treatment has
given me a sense of alignment, balance, greater flexibility
and increased well being.
I talk
about chiropractic care to everyone who will listen. My
brother and sister-in-law in Seattle have found it very
helpful. I highly recommend chiropractic for any physical
concern and to maintain and enhance good health. My advice
to new chiropractic patients is to keep chiropractic
adjustments regular and routine—you are worth the
investment!
Chiropractic has changed my life—and has supported me
through life’s changes. Dr. Mha Atma is the best
chiropractor. This office really is an oasis of balance,
healing and good health. And the staff is excellent, warm,
caring and supportive!

MIYA SUMI
For two
years I had pain in my hips and lower back when I was
walking, standing or sitting. I saw a physical therapist
for six months and they never gave me a diagnosis. The
treatment never helped and sometimes I felt more pain.
Acupuncture was helpful but too expensive to continue.
I
discovered that my insurance would cover chiropractic, and I
knew several Khalsa Chiropractic patients, including my mom,
who all highly recommended I come. I had only been to a
chiropractor once or twice before, and I was not certain it
would help.
Everyone
at the office here was nice, the setting was comfortable,
and the doctor was very helpful. Besides chiropractic
treatment, he recommended exercise, drinking lots of water,
and that I eat certain foods and stay away from others.
Now after
a few months the pain and stiffness have greatly improved.
The treatments are efficient—I am in and out of the office
quickly, and it’s only a five minute drive from work. Now
I’m working on getting a few folks to see Dr. Mha Atma. I
highly recommend trying chiropractic care before seeing a
medical doctor for the type of problems I had.
Chiropractic is a great option for getting better. I
appreciate that everyone at Khalsa Chiropractic has been
very nice and helpful. And I really like Dr. Mha Atma’s
efforts toward making the world a better place.

MICHELLE SULLIVAN
For many
years I had escalating stiffness and pain in my neck and
lower back and low energy. I could not turn my neck to the
right or left freely and completely and I always felt
uncomfortable. I used Advil but I dislike taking any
medications. I used Tiger Balm. Any relief I got from
acupuncture and massage was only temporary.
I
couldn’t stand feeling uncomfortable any more. The medieval
torture rack sounded like relief.
I had
never been to a chiropractor before I came to Khalsa
Chiropractic. The office was soothing and caring and
holistic. Dr. Mha Atma told me that half my spine and most
of my neck was stuck and I should have come years ago. I
started coming for adjustments twice a week. After two
months I feel 100 percent better, with more freedom of
movement and no pain or stiffness. My energy and mood never
felt so good.
Yes,
I’ve been telling my friends about chiropractic. I love
chiropractic care with Dr. Mha Atma.

SEAN CLARK
I
had severe pain in my neck and back and was bedridden and
unable to work for three weeks. My entire neck and upper
and middle back were painful. It was so severe that I could
not move my neck at all for three weeks. All the doctors at
Kaiser wanted to do was fill me with medication and take
x-rays. I was taking Vicodin, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatories.
The Vicodin made me feel bad.
I was
desperate, and a friend strongly recommended that I see Dr.
Mha Atma. I had never been to a chiropractor before, but I
am open-minded and thought it was worth trying.
The staff
here was very friendly. Dr. Mha Atma, and his back-up
doctor Dr. Manjit, are very easy to trust and have an
amazing presence. Dr. Mha Atma recommended three months of
regular treatments with occasional follow-up visits, along
with exercise, a healthy diet, and proper sleep. Within a
week my neck was moving noticeably better, within three
weeks my neck and back were 70 percent better, and now after
two months my body feels completely different. I am
exercising, swimming, lifting weights and taking care of my
body.
I
absolutely would recommend chiropractic to anyone who is
open-minded enough to try it. I feel very positive about
it. And the staff is great!
TOM ALVAREZ
I was in
a car accident which resulted in chronic neck and shoulder
pain. The pain was constant and very distracting. I saw a
physical therapist but the pain persisted.
My friend
Jillian recommended Khalsa Chiropractic. I had never been
to a chiropractor before but I had a favorable impression
because my sister had been a lobbyist representing
chiropractors in Sacramento. I didn’t know for sure if
chiropractic would help, but I didn’t want to try a
traditional doctor due to their “drugs and surgery first”
approach.
From day
one, the doctor and the staff have been helpful. Dr. Mha
Atma is talented and insightful. The treatment has been
very successful. Initially I followed Dr. Mha Atma’s
recommendation for frequent visits and to use a special neck
pillow which I still use today. Now, I feel much better, my
concentration at work is stronger, and my sleep patterns are
greatly improved.
I did
later have another auto accident and knew where to come. I
have been coming to Dr. Mha Atma for several years now and
my condition has improved greatly, although continued
maintenance—once to twice monthly—is necessary. My body now
tells me when I need an adjustment.
I have
told many others about chiropractic. I recommended it to my
fiancé in North Dakota. I told her that chiropractic care
is important but find a doctor she can trust.
Now she
is hooked.
If you
have recently started chiropractic care, I suggest you stay
consistent with treatments and keep a positive mental
attitude. I believe chiropractic is the pinnacle of
preventative care.

KIMBERLY
SIMPSON
I
came to Khalsa Chiropractic because I was experiencing
debilitating pain in my lower back. The pain also shot down
my left leg. It had reached the point that my feet were
numb almost all of the time. My lower back had troubled me
for about eight years, becoming progressively worse. It got
so extreme that I spent almost an entire month flat on my
back in bed. I could barely work and I would have to lie on
the floor for 5-10 minutes to make it bearable to sit at my
desk for another 5 minutes.
When I
first began having chronic lower back issues, I took
anti-inflammatory drugs every day, which provided some
relief. Eventually the doctor prescribed painkillers, which
made me itch and completely spaced out. I was tired all the
time and STILL in pain! I saw two different physical
therapists with no results.
I started
acupuncture treatments with Guru Dev Khalsa, which were
really helping. She suggested I combine her treatments with
chiropractic and recommended Dr. Mha Atma. I had tried
chiropractic before, but only on a sporadic basis. I
thought it would probably help, but I was afraid my case was
too severe.
Immediately upon entering the office I knew I had made a
great decision. The staff is so wonderful and supportive
and I felt like this was a great place to heal. Dr. Mha
Atma recommended I get adjusted twice a week and also
discussed my diet and lifestyle choices.
My
results have been amazing. I wake up every day, grateful to
be able to perform simple tasks (like picking something up
off the floor) free of pain. What a gift! It has been
about seven months and I now come just once every three
weeks. I feel stronger and that encourages me to continue
investing in my own health. I have hurt myself a few times,
but each time Dr. Mha Atma has been available to help me
through it. So much better than being in pain on my own…and
quicker too!
My mom
is a chiropractic patient. She loves chiropractic. Her
problems aren’t as severe as mine but she says it feels good
to go in and get straightened out. I would recommend
chiropractic to everyone! I’ve told countless people about
the benefits I have experienced. I feel chiropractic care
is invaluable and amazing. Thank you Dr. Mha Atma and Khalsa
Chiropractic! Just when I was starting to lose hope, you
gave me back my health. I am thankful every day for this
priceless gift.

TOM FOWLER
I had
serious lower back pain for more than five years. It was
very uncomfortable when sitting and driving. I could not
drive more than 30 minutes without pain.
I visited
two neurosurgeons and a general practitioner. When I
explained my pain to the second neurosurgeon, the top one in
Indiana, he tested me for strength and resistance and told
me that I was getting older but not old enough for spinal
fusion. He advised me to get used to the pain or to take
over-the-counter pain killers. I took ibuprofen, but I did
not want to take it long-term.
My
daughter Jill Morand convinced me to come to Khalsa
Chiropractic. She was treated by Dr. Mha Atma for a back
and neck injury suffered in a car accident. She had very
good results. I was skeptical but, as I’m sure is often
the case, I had been misinformed regarding the benefits and
effectiveness of chiropractic.
The
office was warm and friendly—a relaxed environment. Dr. Mha
Atma recommended regular treatments along with exercises and
a healthier diet. I felt better immediately after the first
treatment, and gradually improved with each subsequent
visit.
I am
skeptical by nature. But chiropractic has helped me
greatly. Some days now pass with very little or no pain.
And I feel that if I exercise more and can maintain an
anti-inflammatory diet, I might eliminate all pain.
I would
now absolutely recommend chiropractic to anyone who wants to
feel better and be healthier. I am very supportive of
chiropractic care and would especially recommend that anyone
try it before considering more radical solutions.
I very
much appreciate the friendliness and flexibility of the
office staff. Chiropractic has definitely improved my
quality of life and general overall attitude.

GAYATHRI
NARAYAN
For over
four years my upper back, shoulders, lower back and hip were
painful. The pain started four years ago after the birth of
my first child, and then was aggravated during and after my
second pregnancy. I tried massage treatments and another
chiropractor with no tangible relief. My dear friend Rachel
recommended Dr. Mha Atma to me. I am so happy I took her
advice!
I had
doubts about chiropractic because I felt that it would take
too long to help and that the fix would not be permanent.
When I did come to this office, a few months after my second
child was born, I found that Dr. Mha Atma and his staff are
genuinely warm, friendly and wanting to heal the people who
walk through their doors. Dr. Mha Atma recommended regular
chiropractic care, exercise and a healthy diet.
Within a
couple of sessions I felt so much relief. Within two months
of the recommended treatment schedule my back and shoulders
were feeling so much better. Now I see Dr. Mha Atma once
every two weeks to maintain the correction.
My
husband and my mother have come to this office as well, and
chiropractic has definitely helped them. My mother had
tried so many treatments for her problem with no success.
She has experienced the most relief of anyone in our family
under Dr. Mha Atma’s care.
I am a
big believer in chiropractic now! I have recommended Dr.
Mha Atma to so many people already! I plan to continue to
see Dr. Mha Atma for long-term correction of the problem
even if it’s just once a month. The stresses of life can
catch up with you and chiropractic care is so efficient at
helping you maintain good health and posture.
Dr. Mha
Atma has a very holistic approach to help his patients on
the road to good health. He is honest, systematic and
committed to his profession and patients. Mikaela and
Simran are such angels! They are efficient and warm and
friendly. You almost never have to wait at the office. I
wholeheartedly endorse Khalsa Chiropractic!
SYLVIE HAINES
I had
very severe pain behind my left shoulder and pretty much all
over my body. The severe pain had persisted for three days
when a Khalsa Chiropractic patient suggested I come here.
She said it had really helped her with her back problems. I
had never been to a chiropractor before and had no idea if
it would help.
The
office and Dr. Mha Atma seemed very unpretentious, welcoming
and warm. I was intrigued by the wide range of people
coming for treatment. Dr. Mha Atma has a very gentle
healing manner.
He
suggested that I come for treatment twice a week. I felt
better quickly. It didn’t take much time. In terms of body
care chiropractic is definitely a huge “bang for your
buck.” I felt overall lightness in my body, and improved
digestion and flexibility.
I now
totally and absolutely recommend chiropractic. I’ve told
countless people about it. I’m pretty sure I will continue
chiropractic care, even if just occasionally, for
adjustments and to make sure “everything’s okay.”
Prior to
this experience, I had no idea how pretty much all bodily
functions are influenced by the health of your spine. It’s
made me realize how everything is truly interconnected and
that overall health is really the goal.
KEISHA CHANDLER
I had
severe pain behind my right shoulder blade, and pain on both
sides of my neck, for about four months. If I had to rate
my pain on a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it an 11. I
would have to cross my arm across my chest to try and
relieve it. I didn’t take any medication, but I spent a lot
of money on the little heating pads you adhere to your
skin.
I found
Dr. Mha Atma’s website, which was very informative, and when
I called the staff person I spoke to on the phone was so
kind and reassuring that I felt I was in good hands. I had
been to a chiropractor before and I thought it would help,
but I was concerned that the problem might not be related to
muscles or skeletal misalignment.
Everyone
was so nice here. From the first phone contact to Dr. Mha
Atma’s exam I felt as though I was in the right place. Dr.
Mha Atma recommended that I come for treatment two to three
times a week at first and once a week for a while
thereafter. The first few treatments were painful. But
after the third adjustment I began to feel better. He
provided me with handouts, stretches, and breathing
techniques to ease pain and encourage relaxation.
Now I
feel great. I absolutely, without a doubt, recommend
chiropractic care to others who want to feel and stay
better. I think it should be a regular part of one’s health
maintenance.
It is
rare that I come in contact with a true healer and
practitioner of health and wellness. I consider myself
lucky and blessed to have found Khalsa Chiropractic. Thank
you to all!
LIAN MANN
I came to
Khalsa Chiropractic because of symptoms of stress—headaches
and stiffness. I had acute headaches and lower back pain.
These symptoms were chronic—ongoing over many years. The
headaches left me incapacitated for two days at least once a
month To deal with theses problems, I iced my back
regularly, I self medicated with aspirin, and periodically I
exercised.
I have
always interpreted these symptoms to be the result of stress
so I never pursued any treatment. When I had an attack of
diverticulitis, I decided to pursue treatment for stress, as
well as nutritional counseling. My friend who is a patient
of Dr. Mha Atma suggested I come here. I had never been to
a chiropractor before and I was skeptical because I never
understood the theory or the actual practice.
It helped
that my friend brought me to my first appointment. The
office operates beautifully—very impressive. Dr. Mha Atma’s
evaluation process was very interesting as well as helpful.
He analyzed locations along my spine that were locked and
determined that he could relieve the stiffness and, most
likely, alleviate the headaches.
I am very
pleased that I have undertaken this process. I almost never
have headaches now and, not only am I less stiff, I feel
less stress in my body. My general well-being has
improved.
My
husband is a patient here as well—spinal adjustments are
always helpful to him. He had come years before I did, but
it took my friend’s insistence to get me here.
I would
recommend Dr. Mha Atma to others—he is my only experience
with chiropractic care. I have told many of my other family
members about this office. I now embrace the theory of
chiropractic. Dr. Mha Atma’s practice has made a
significant improvement in my well being. I understand that
I need to engage in a regular exercise, yoga and nutrition
plan to sustain and build on my gains. But I will continue
with my periodic care with Dr. Mha Atma.
JILL
MORAND
I was in a bad car
crash. After the accident I was taken to the emergency room in an
ambulance. The physicians told me that nothing was broken and I should
rest for two weeks. The pain and stiffness were from the top of my neck
to the bottom of my spine and I could do little more than be in bed and
walk stiffly. The treatment was Vicodin and Flexaril with refills. I
reluctantly used them the first two days, but found that I could not
take care of my daughter, drive, or carry on a decent conversation while
on them. I needed a better approach that would allow me to parent,
work, rest and heal in a way that would better serve me long term.
I quit using
medication just three days after the accident so I could pay attention
to the pain, be sensitive to the needs of my body and treat it
holistically. I knew that chiropractic would offer me this and Dr. Mha
Atma came highly recommended—my dear friend Susan Allen referred me. I
had chiropractic care in the past and found relief and, until the crash,
was pain free with an active, athletic life.
I knew I needed
chiropractic care to be able to use my back and neck—to regain range of
motion and decrease the pain that continued to wear me down daily.
Initially I saw Dr.
Mha Atma twice a week and maintained a very healthy whole foods diet.
On Dr. Mha Atma’s advice, I cut caffeine out of my life. I now see him
every two weeks and feel better and sleep more soundly than I have in a
long time. The neck pain is nearly gone and my back only bothers me
when I am sitting in positions that are not ergonomically correct. I am
back to doing yoga three times a week.
A couple of months
into treatment I referred my father to Khalsa Chiropractic. He has had
back pain for as long as I can remember, associated with herniated discs
and lifestyle/work situations. My father is now seeing Dr. Mha Atma
more regularly as he realizes that care beyond the initial pain relief
stage is essential. I will continue to tell others about Dr. Mha Atma
and the benefits of chiropractic. All of my friends know that this is
the reason I have found such relief since the crash.
Chiropractic has
helped me over the years to deal with everything from sports and
military training related pain to this recent crash that left me in more
pain than ever. I hope that anyone who experiences back or neck pain
will allow themselves the opportunity to find the relief and healing
that chiropractic can offer. Dr. Mha Atma and all of the staff have been
so warm and accommodating—they have been the greatest players in my
healing over the past 4 ½ months.

INDRA ZIGARS
When I first came to
Khalsa Chiropractic I was desperate. I couldn’t sleep and my neck was
hurting all the time. After my first visit, I went for a hike—and felt
the difference. I felt, well, at peace.
The weekly visits
that followed were not so sweet, due to yes, let’s say it: Evil-evil
For-Profit Health Insurance Company not wanting to help my pay—but I
went through the three months of weekly visits and go my messed up
skeleton in order and then paid a small amount eery month to keep
well-adjusted—always feeling very released and happy afterwards and sort
of sleepy too—I always sleep better the night after an adjustment.
Well, after several
years the Evil Health Insurance people decided that mine/their money
should only go to pain medication pills and going under the knife,
instead of getting a simple monthly adjustment. All of a sudden—I had
to pay in full for the monthly visits—and I couldn’t do it. At first
nothing seemed really to change—my sore areas: neck and lower back (to
the side) were there, but manageable. I even thought yeah it was
just my mind that thought that I was actually benefiting from
chiropractic care—but as the months passed things did get worse. I
couldn’t sleep as well as I used to, I was getting tingling sensations
in the areas of my back and hands—and most importantly—I did not feel
the peace of mind I had carried with me—and had forgotten that I hadn’t
had—before Khalsa. Basically, I was all nerves.
I came back slowly
to Khalsa Chiropractic, always feeling afterwards the same relief in my
body. I wish I didn’t have o go to a chiropractor but I do—and I guess
I’d rather put out money for chiropractic care than for pain pills or
having to, in the future, have neck and back surgery. I don’t believe
that chiropractic work is the magic cure-all—but I know how it does
affect my body—and that it’s not all in my head.

GARY GARRELLS
For a
year I had chronic pain in my back and shoulder, with
tingling pain radiating down my left arm into my fingers. I
had great difficulty sleeping due to the pain and I could
not use my left arm.
I saw a
medical doctor who prescribed pain killers, expecting the
condition to correct itself. Then I saw a physical
therapist for awhile with no effect. Then I had some
acupuncture treatment which did not help either. I was
taking lots of ibuprofen, which was beginning to lead to
stomach problems.
Finally,
my doctor suggested I try seeing a chiropractor. Two
friends told me to try Khalsa Chiropractic and that Dr. Mha
Atma could be a “miracle worker.” I had never been to a
chiropractor before. I was doubtful.
Dr. Mha
Atma seemed unassuming, modest and low key. I had low
expectations. He recommended regular treatment for awhile
and told me to be patient. My symptoms improved very slowly
over a period of three months, but eventually they got much
better. Now, six months after beginning treatment, my pain
has almost completely disappeared with only very occasional
and slight residuals. Most days I forget I ever had a
problem.
My sister
has been to a chiropractor for back problems she suffered
after an auto accident. It definitely helped her. I have
been telling other people about my experience. I now
recommend chiropractic care. I am a convert!

TIM FITZGIBBON
I had
pretty extreme constant lower back pain—I could barely drive
my car to work. I was in pain for two weeks. I could not
walk without a limp, I could barely drive, and I could not
find a comfortable position to sleep. It just hurt all the
time. Advil didn’t help.
It got to
the point where my friends could not stand to hear my
complaining any more. They convinced me to see Dr. Mha
Atma. I had never been to a chiropractor before and I
really didn’t know what to think.
When I
arrived, I was greeted by a really nice and
professional staff. The office was warm—literally and
figuratively. It’s almost like going over to a friend’s
house. Dr. Mha Atma recommended chiropractic
adjustments…and exercises! He gave me a different one every
week for the first few weeks.
My
results were amazing! I felt relief after the second and
especially the third visit. I feel great now. I’m working
with no problem and pitching again for my baseball team. I
am really relieved—and so glad that chiropractic works. I
didn’t think my back would ever feel “normal” again.
I
would absolutely recommend chiropractic to anyone. I have
talked about it to my whole baseball team, my wife, and my
work partner. I always feel comfortable coming in here.
I’m amazed at how much the back exercises have helped as
well. Follow the doctor’s recommendations and you will feel
better!

LYNN STEPHENS
When I
first arrived at Khalsa Chiropractic I was suffering from
acute sciatica. For about six months I was in pain daily.
Many times the pain brought me to tears. My entire body was
longing for an adjustment and to regain homeostasis.
I had not
been to any other doctors for this. I knew intuitively that
chiropractic care would help me. I had passed by this
office for years! Finally I looked at my insurance Provider
list and saw that this office was listed. Wow!
Right up
the street from my home. Great!
On my
first visit I immediately felt cared for. This is a warm,
friendly and responsive environment. The staff and the
doctor really listen.
Dr. Mha
Atma recommended I come for treatment twice weekly and more
if needed. Within a month I noticed a difference. I felt
more fluidity and openness within my entire body. My right
hip, buttock and inner thigh was unlocking.
I have
continued chiropractic care for almost a year because I know
that I can see and feel the results. My body’s positive
response to chiropractic treatment is undeniable! I am now
pain free, sleep better, have less stress and overall better
health.
I have
been sharing my experience with my family and lots of other
people. I strongly recommend it. I advise people who start
chiropractic care to be consistent and know that this is a
vital part of self-care for good health. I now understand
that there is no substitute for this type of care. I am now
getting treatment once per month. I will continue for the
rest of my life—consistently.
I
thank Dr. Mha Atma and staff for their kind and
compassionate care. I am happy to be here with you all.
Thanks for listening and responding to all my questions and
concerns.

MARJORIE
PRESLEY
I was
under a lot of stress which caused my back and spine to be
out of shape. I was not comfortable sitting and was leaning
to the side when I walked. I was totally stressed out! I
had pain in my upper shoulder area and in my middle and
lower back. The problem was severe enough that I was not
enjoying life because I just didn’t feel well.
I refused
drugs, but I was seeing my nutritional consultant Dr.
Barbara Le Moore who gave me supplements. She had the
insight and knowledge to recognize my need for chiropractic
care and referred me to Dr. Mha Atma. I had seen a
chiropractor once before for just a few visits after an auto
accident, but my knowledge about chiropractic was very
limited.
I found
the entire staff here to be very professional, kind,
friendly and pleasant. I have never been to an office
before where everyone was on the same page! Dr. Mha Atma
recommended regular visits, exercise, proper diet and
attendance at his Wellness Workshop.
Now my
back feels very good. I no longer walk leaning to one
side. I can sit down and be comfortable without having to
twist around trying to find a comfortable position. I am
much more conscious of my sleeping position and how my
lifestyle affects my total health.
I now
realize that I’d had the back problem for years but had not
really considered chiropractic care until I got so stressed
out, and did not realize the extensive benefits it
provides. Now I tell my family and friends about
chiropractic and its benefits, and I told my M.D. about it.
I am truly grateful that Dr. Le Moore referred me to Dr. Mha
Atma. He is very dedicated to his profession and really
cares for his patients. He has the human touch and his
staff are all kind and wonderful people. I would recommend
anyone to come here for their care.

PERRY THOMAS
I had
pain for about six months on the left side of my neck and
shoulder. I could not turn my head to the left side. My
doctor told me that the problem was due to my age (70), and
that I would just have to live with it. I sometimes took
Motrin or aspirin to ease the pain.
A friend
of mine referred me to Khalsa Chiropractic. He told me he
had seen Dr. Mha Atma and had experienced good results. I
had never before seen a chiropractor and had no idea if it
would help.
I was
very impressed with the office and the doctor. After my
examination he recommended a series of chiropractic
treatments along with exercise and a healthy diet. I have
been coming for treatment for less than 90 days and the pain
is almost completely gone.
I have
told 15 or 20 other people about chiropractic now. It
worked for me, and I am impressed because I feel so much
better after six months of pain! I like the way I am
treated here, and I appreciate the good atmosphere and
pleasant environment.

BABA
UPPAL
My lower
back was hurting. I would wake up with pain, and
sometimes it would take a few moments to get up from a
chair. The problem persisted for several months, and
sometimes it could be really bad. My friends finally
convinced me to see Dr. Mha Atma. I’d never been to a
chiropractor before and I wasn’t confident it would help
me.
I found
the office to be very comfortable and professional.
The doctor recommended regular visits for relief, followed
by less frequent visits for maintenance. I started
feeling relief after a couple of weeks, and now a few months
later I feel much better.
I now
recommend chiropractic treatment to others, and have told at
least five people I know who have been experiencing back
pain that they should try it. I am very happy with the
results of my care.
Dr.
Mha Atma and his staff are very welcoming and professional and they
genuinely care about your well-being. I would heartily recommend
consulting them if you have experienced back pain.

CHARITY BABCOCK
When I
first came to Khalsa Chiropractic, I was experiencing
intense pain in my neck, lower back and through my hip. I
had an almost constant headache from the neck pain, and
couldn’t drive for long distances without discomfort from
the sciatic pain. I had been having neck pain for a couple
of months, and the lower back pain was something that I had
been having for three or four years. I had been to another
chiropractor for the lower back pain, and that had helped
tremendously, so I already knew that chiropractic care was
something that really worked for me. Unfortunately, that
chiropractor passed away about a year after I started
working with him, and I wasn’t getting the results I wanted
from his replacement.
When my
neck pain became worse, I knew that I needed to find a
chiropractor that I liked…and fast! I found Dr. Khalsa
through my friend Buckley; she spoke very highly of him, and
she’s someone I trust. As soon as I stepped into Khalsa
Chiropractic, I felt at home.
After my
first adjustment with Dr. Khalsa, I was in. What was most
impressive to me, however, was the customer service. The
next day after my first adjustment, Dr. Khalsa called me to
make sure that I was doing okay and wasn’t experiencing any
discomfort. (It was a major adjustment!)
Since
coming to Khalsa Chiropractic, I have had significant
improvement. My sciatic pain is almost completely gone, and
as long as I keep my regular appointments, my neck and back
pain is kept under control. Dr. Khalsa has given my regular
exercises to strengthen my back and neck muscles, which has
made me more aware of the importance of structural integrity
and has inspired and exercise/strengthening regimen.
I
recommend chiropractic care for anyone who’s experiencing
back or neck pain, or even allergies and other physical
ailments! It’s all connected, and I know that for myself,
my entire body has benefited from the adjustments I’ve had
at Khalsa Chiropractic.

DAVID
GREENE
The pain in my
shoulder had been with me for so long that I’d accepted it
as part of life. The distraction from the pain had affected
my work and relationships, in subtle, negative ways,
stealing attention from issues and people who deserved
better.
Prior
chiropractors had failed to educate me as to how
chiropractic works and what to expect from it, so little was
accomplished with infrequent, random office visits. My wife
had been here and described Khalsa Chiropractic as
“different” in the best sense of the word. Plus, she had a
coupon! It was an easy choice to schedule the first visit.
What I found here makes continuing treatment an easy
decision as well. I had doubts that chiropractic would help,
but I now understand the process and the goals. That my
golf game is better than ever without any shoulder pain is
measurable proof that it really has helped!
I found the
office professional on all counts, with the friendliest
staff ever. Dr. Mha Atma made good, common-sense
recommendations for posture, ergonomic changes, diet and
exercise, along with a consistent schedule of chiropractic
adjustments. The pain in my shoulder disappeared in two
visits. After six visits, I noticed my golf swing put the
ball on the fairway off the tee most of the time, and this
was a new experience!
I’ve now been
a chiropractic patient here for a few months. My shoulder
pain is gone and I feel better overall. My wife, daughter,
and in-laws are all patients here! They are all feeling
better. We tell everyone we know about chiropractic.

I
had pain in the back of my neck radiating to my left
shoulder, left arm and fingers. The pain was excruciating—I
could not sleep or walk. It lasted for many months. I was
examined by a physical medicine MD who suggested surgery to
free a pinched nerve in the back of the neck. I refused.
He also suggested pain medication, which I did not take.
My
granddaughter and my foot reflexologist both suggested I see
Dr. Mha Atma. It was a wonderful experience. Dr. Mha Atma
is very concerned and professional. His treatments are
gentle and he diagnosed the problem correctly. He is a
true healer. The staff is very pleasant and makes the
patient feel comfortable.
Dr. Mha Atma
recommended a series of gentle chiropractic adjustments and
to eat healthy and continue with yoga and Pilates. Within
about 3 to 4 weeks I had complete relief of pain.
My wife, daughter, son-in-law
and granddaughter are all patients here, and have all
experienced great benefit. I have told many of my friends
about chiropractic and one is now a patient as well. I am a
true believer, especially with a practitioner using the
techniques of Dr. Mha Atma.

I was in a car
wreck. Afterwards I was having sharp pain in my neck
and lower back for a few weeks. The pain was fairly
severe. My wife had been coming to Khalsa Chiropractic
for several months and suggested I see Dr. Mha Atma. I
had never been to a chiropractor before. I was unsure
about it, but my wife was very positive about her treatment
and results so I gave it a try.
I found that
the office and the doctor are great. The staff was
very welcoming. Dr. Mha Atma recommended that I come
to the office for treatment twice weekly and then once
weekly for a few months. I have experienced much
improvement. The pains in my neck and lower back are
gone.
Of course I
strongly recommend chiropractic to other folks who are in
pain or who want to be healthier. I have told many
members of my family about my positive experience. I
now stop by the office for an adjustment every two weeks or
so and will continue to visit the office. I think
chiropractic has improved my overall health as well as my
back and neck pains.
I really enjoy my visits to
Dr. Mha Atma. The entire staff is great. I enjoy the tea
selection and nice variety of magazines in the waiting room. I
think everyone would benefit from chiropractic care.

My major
problem was a stiff neck which caused me to have lots of headaches. I
also had consistent pain in my upper back. I’ve had
headaches
for about 10 years. My neck was stiff for a month before I came to
see Dr. Mha Atma—I couldn’t turn it very far. I lived with upper
back pain—I thought it was just part of having a desk job.
I saw a
doctor for my headaches. They told me to quit smoking and
avoid caffeine and chocolate. When I did my body felt
better, but my headaches continued. When they were severe I
would take migraine medication. I tried to avoid aspirin
and other headache medications because I had taken them too
often in the past.
My
co-worker told me how she walked around with whiplash for
five years and always had headaches until someone referred
her to a chiropractor. So despite my doubts I decided to
try it for the first time and came to Khalsa Chiropractic.
Everyone here was super nice and the office was very
relaxing. All the patients seemed so happy.
I started
seeing Dr. Mha Atma regularly and I came to his Wellness
Workshop where I learned that one of my problems was
sleeping on my stomach. The workshop also motivated me to
begin working out again and improving my diet.
I’ve been
here for about three months now. My headaches are greatly
reduced and my back and neck feel much better. I always had
the impression that chiropractic would mess up my back and
make me dependent on treatment. At this office I never felt
pressured—I always felt that my health was their highest
concern which made me feel very comfortable. And Mikaela is
beautiful. She has a great radiance inside and out. I
always look forward to her smile.
I have
already spoken to many people suffering from back problems
and recommended chiropractic. Although I never thought that
I would be, I’m a true believer.
