This is a review I placed 6 years ago when I first started seeing Dr. Greg Sternquist. It seems my review was placed on another company. Oops!
Before going to Dr. Greg Sternquist I had extreme lower back pain; to the point of not being able to get out of bed, sit or stand without pain. Previously, every M.D. I saw told me I was having back spasms and introduced me to muscle relaxers. While the muscle relaxers did make the pain go away I was unable to function at school and at work forcing me to stop taking the quick "fix". Mind you, I’m only 22 years old and knew I could not live with this back pain forever which was when I was referred to Dr. Sternquist. I wanted answers; I wanted to know why my back hurt so badly and what to do to prevent it! I refused to think I would be stuck on muscle relaxers my entire life.
My mother referred me to Dr. Greg Sternquist to get my back adjusted or so I thought. After running a multitude of tests, none of which I’ve had at my “regular” doctor, they asked me to come back the next day to see my results. On return they gave me a personalized nutritional plan because they believed my problems/symptoms were being caused by nutrition alone. Not only was I overwhelmed by the changes they wanted me to make, I was a skeptical. Their initial goal was for my back pain to subside which they believed would if I cut dairy out of my diet. No dairy, that was the goal!
The following day, after receiving my nutritional plan my back was in more pain than ever! I was beyond frustrated; exclaiming that I went in to get my back fixed and they did nothing! To be honest, I was desperate, I needed the quick "fix" and because they didn’t give it to me I blamed them. On my 3rd day without dairy my back pain subsided, by the 4th day it was entirely gone, and now 5 weeks into the program I’ve completely forgot what back pain feels like.
I would recommend anyone to Dr. Greg Sternquist and his staff. They are amazing people who strive to coach, encourage, and educate their patients. While some of the changes they expect you to make are out of the norm from what we’re used to eating, if you can make the sacrifice of immediate gratification your health will benefit. Their success is not immediate but life changing! If I can do their program, Original Fast Food Junkie, anyone can! Thank you
