The Wellness Path Adult Care Success Stories
Sandra’s Story
I went to Dr. Vic to get help with my chronic migraines.
I didn’t want to pop pills every time I had one, which was often. I was looking for a holistic approach to treatment.
Within three weeks of seeing Dr. Vic, my migraines became scarce, but I have gotten so much more than relief from migraines.
Dr. Vic is so passionate about what he does and he shares that passion with all of his patients.
I have learned so much from him – how stress impacts my body, ways to deal with stress and so much more!
His staff is also incredibly friendly and welcoming.
Chiropractic care with Dr. Vic has definitely been a rewarding experience!

Sarah’s Story
Chiropractic care and office visits with Dr. Vic and Veronica have been an integral part of my path to improved wellness and health for about seven months.
I decided to add Chiropractic care regularly into my life after a friend (Kristin) suggested that I go in for an initial assessment because of neck and back issues as well as an overall sense of stress, fatigue, and low energy.
Dr. Vic adjusts my spine using a gentler technique, teaches (based on experience and research), and motivates me to continue the path. Each visit reminds me to keep seeking wellness and health. I am less stressed overall. I am more motivated and focused.
I do not doubt that if I put into action his other recommendations, I would experience even more wellness. Old habits and behaviors can be changed, and mine are slowly transforming by continuing to stay the course with Dr. Vic and not give up if I don’t do it perfectly.
My old habits included not paying attention to what my body needed (such as rest, adjustments, and healthier food). I am encouraged by Dr. Vic and Veronica to be more attentive to self-care and to prioritize my health. Because of regular chiropractic care and encouragement, my daily behaviors are shifting (slowly, but shifting) to include better choices in food and self-care, which in turn enhance my chiropractic care. They work together.
I want my wellness journey to prioritize holistic approaches to care, and chiropractic has proven to be an important component of the journey.
I love that we review my progress over time and discuss the changes occurring. I also like that Dr. Vic and Veronica research, read, write, and live out what they teach and offer. I love watching them interact with young families and older clients too. As a registered nurse with a passion for compassionate patient care, I appreciate their authentic and genuine kindness and care of their clients of all ages. I consider them to be part of my wellness family!

Daniel’s Story
Years ago, I injured my lower back and it has never been quite the same. It affects how I sleep ? and it affects how I play with my children.
A recent recurrence brought me to Dr. Vic.
The journey over the last few months has gone way beyond lower back care. It is a better understanding of what the body does and why it does it.
It is a holistic approach to wellness that is meant to reset the nervous system and change how the body handles stress.
Yes, my back pain has diminished but the results have been much further reaching.
I have all but ceased any dependence I once had upon medication. I have dramatically changed my diet, lost weight, and gained more energy. My outlook on life has improved.
Dr. Vic and his team are a bright shining light on a cloudy day and I am lucky to be a part of their practice.
La Grange is lucky to have them. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Misty’s Story
Dr. Vic and his team have the BEST energy!
It is so much fun getting to see them each week, it is the highlight of my weekdays!
Dr. Vic ALWAYS is a bundle of knowledge, anything I have ever asked him about or even brought up in conversation, he’s always gone above and beyond to give me resources, guidance, at-home techniques, or anything I need.
I have attended a few events and workshops he provides and they have been phenomenal.
Dr. Vic breaks things down into bite-size, digestible pieces so that not only can you understand them, but you can apply them in your own life.
I drive an hour there and an hour back, he is that great!

Brian’s Story
I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Vic and his team.
They have helped me turn my life around and set me on a new path to wellness.
This was a path I did not know existed before meeting Dr. Vic.
My wife and I both love the team and feel they are not part of our extended family!

Anna’s Story
I started going to Dr. Vic because I had a bone density test done and the results were not very good. My doctor told me that he wanted to put me on medications to prevent osteoporosis later in life, but taking medications had bad side effects that would have been worse for my body long term. I was also taking medication for high Cholesterol.
I talked to my daughter and she recommended Dr. Vic. When I talked to Dr. Vic, I told him what was going on with my health and the stress in my life. The first thing he told me was no worries, I could help it with the right treatment, the right vitamins, and if I would work hard to manage my stress. I had to learn how to teach my brain how to handle everyday problems.
Well, I want you to know I’m not on medication for my cholesterol anymore! I am learning how to handle stress better. Before I started to see Dr. Vic it seemed like I was carrying around a 100 lb weight on my neck and shoulders, now that feeling is gone! I have a better attitude. I look at life much differently. I’m happier and I don’t sweat the little things anymore.
Last, but not least, every time I go in Veronica always greets me with a smile. There’s never a time that I have a question and they don’t have the answer, and if they don’t know they will go out of their way to find it so they can give me the right answer.
The day that I saw Dr. Vic was one of the best decisions I ever made. Thank you for giving me my health back! There are not enough words to express my gratitude!

Olga’s Story
For this Thanksgiving, I am beyond grateful that I can say namaste again, all thanks to Dr. Vic and his team!
For 3 years, I suffered from pain in my tailbone. I could barely sit at the movie theatre or restaurants, let alone, the car rides on the way to work.
I tried physical therapy, different chiropractic treatments, and cranial-sacral therapy, none of which resulted in permanent improvement.
In July 2019, searing spinal pain landed me in the hospital where I was diagnosed with “muscle spasms,” for which I would need to take medication for the rest of my life. Later, an MRI revealed bulging discs, which anybody would immediately approach with surgery.
On that day, my journey with Dr. Vic began. I had three goals: to return to yoga, to gain positive energy, and to be free of pain.
Now, I practice yoga 3-4 times per week. I cried with joy as I stepped into the class in disbelief that I was finally able to step on my mat again.
I am finally managing long hours of work, without any pain.
Chiropractic treatment not only affects the body, but also your inner energy, which affects your work, creativity, and lifestyle.
I’m not going to lie, coming to an appointment after a long drive is a challenge, but it always feels like Home.
The care of Dr. Vic and his team gives you confidence and they care about something more important than anything else in your life: Your Health.
Thank you, Dr. Vic!
Namaste!

Amy’s Story
I came for the pain relief; stayed for the health and wellness!
I began my journey with Dr. Vic after hurting my lower back. After a few visits, my back pain had lessened but I was already seeing other benefits from the adjustments and the brain & bodywork (in-office exercises). I’m now entering my 3rd month and I have seen improvements in my physical, mental, and emotional health.
Dr. Vic truly cares about my overall health and partnering with me on this journey. He is so attentive and shares tips and ideas with every visit depending on my questions.
The whole team is truly passionate about my success and supporting me with my health/wellness goals. And from what I can tell, that’s how they make every patient feel as evidenced by the awesome positive atmosphere they have created.
I highly recommend Dr. Vic!

James’ Story
I absolutely cannot say enough fantastic things about Dr. Vic. The level of care I have been receiving for the past six months has been a complete game changer for me.
I have been living with severe back and neck pain for the last 25 years. I’ve seen multiple orthopedic doctors, physical therapists, and Chiropractors over that time span. During that time, I had some great days and not so great days living with and managing my pain level, which was consistently at least a 6-7 out of a 10.
This last year and a half or so were the toughest on me. I was being treated a minimum of once a week and barely staying afloat. I was not getting better, but also not living with unbearable pain. I just wasn’t seeing the results I desperately wanted.
I had slowly started to give up hope that I could ever be pain-free and not live in constant fear of hurting myself. At my lowest point, about six months ago, I was on a phone call with Laser Spine Institute, in tears, contemplating the surgery I swore I’d never have. It was a very low point for me regarding my journey with the pain and multiple spine issues I had lived with for so long.
Words do not express how glad I am and fortunate I feel never having followed through with the consultation. By divine timing and equally divine intervention, some truly amazing people came into our lives and shared the best Chiropractic care I have ever come across.
Believe me when I tell you, I’ve seen them all! In a matter of weeks, my pain and symptoms started to lessen, and some completely subsided. Within three months, I felt so good, I was now faced with the thought and prospect of being able to work out again, which was incredibly exciting and terrifying at the same time.
It had been over two years since rupturing a disc and my shutting down of all physical activity. Years without being able to mentally as well as physically attempt such a thing were my reality. The amount of fear and anxiety just at the very thought of physical activity was very challenging to face. None of which I had to face alone because the level of care with Dr. Vic just doesn’t stop at the physical.
I guess I didn’t even realize how much the amount of physical pain I was living with was directly affecting my life and overall mood until I finally got a break from it. It was my “normal” and what I lived with every day.
I have seen some incredible results since starting treatment and even have full days pain-free. I am 100% confident when I say that none of this would be possible without the care I’ve received from Dr. Vic over the last 6 months. I could not be happier with my progress and am thrilled to be re-writing my story.
This story is going to have a much different ending, where my pain no longer defines me. I no longer must live with the daily physical and emotional pain of not being able to lift my children without the fear of injuring myself. I can tell you, it sure feels incredible to say those words, and I cannot thank Dr. Vic enough.
