"What People Are Saying About Their Chiropractor in Orange, Dr. Barry Marks and His Staff..."
   

"Dr. Marks and his terrific staff get a 5 Star rating from me!

I have recommended Dr. Marks to all my friends with any pain problems. At age 68, I had never been to a chiropractor and was fearful of the procedure involved. After five years of recurring problems with tibial tendonitis and plantar fasciitis, and repeated treatments by podiatrists and physical therapists, I went to Dr. Marks for cold laser, heat stimulation and cold packs. The pelvic adjustments were painless and restored my balance. I felt so much better after after one treatment and have completed my six treatment with amazing results! Thank you, Dr. Marks for your help in restoring my everyday life activities. Your news letters provide invaluable information on health recovery and maintenance, and I look forward to receiving your updates."


Your ever appreciative,

Pam Tuck, Long Beach, CA
 

“This procedure was the best thing I could have done for myself and my back. It is safer, less expensive and less painful than if I had had surgery and I am so happy I went through with it. I truly feel it has changed my life and I am pain-free and enjoying every minute. Thank you!

 

-Michelle Kane, 28, Insurance Adjuster, Anaheim, CA

 

"I have suffered for 30 years with back pain from College Football and Military service related injuries. I have compressed discs at L3, L4, & L5. After completing the DRX 9000 regimen over the last few months, I have seen my pain level reduced by 80%. I would highly recommend Dr. Marks and the DRX9000 to anyone who suffers from low back pain."

-Scott E. McDaniel, Real Estate Broker, Yorba Linda, CA

 

“I had a broken back at the age of 16 and a ruptured disc at age 28. I’ve been in pain 24/7 since age 16; I’ve tried everything you can think of over the years. This is the only thing that’s even helped. I would say after 20 visits about 70% of the pain is gone. I never thought this would be possible. I would tell anyone to give this a chance!”

-Myron Barker, Contractor, Irvine, CA

 “Thanks for your kindness and warm friendly smiles. I feel much better, thanks to the DRX9000.”

-Don Tassin, Retired, Buena Park, CA

 

 “I have suffered with back pain for over 10 years. I have 2 bulged discs at L4, L5 & S1. After finishing the DRX program, about 70% of the pain is gone. That’s amazing! I had tried physical therapy, acupuncture & chiropractic before, but there was no help. I would recommend the DRX9000 to anyone who has back pain, especially Dr. Marks; he is such a caring person.”

 -Ann Tran, 36, Lab Tech, Anaheim, CA.

 

“I’ve had back pain half my life. I’ve been through medication, chiropractic care and physical therapy in the past. The pain in my right leg got so bad the last 3 years that I had to give up my daily exercise walk. Since completing the DRX9000 treatments I am pain free and looking forward to getting back to my normal routine.”

 

-Carol Patridge, 70, retired, Cypress, CA

 

“I went to several doctors for my lower back and right leg problems. I had terrible pain all the way down my lower back and right leg. After all the treatments that I’ve had from professionals, surgeons, they sent me to get different pictures of my back. I went to see Dr. Marks, I wanted to go through his Disc Rehabilitation Center, but before I did, I prayed to my Lord, Jesus Christ, to help me…He did.”

 

“I’ve gone through the DRX9000 program. I laid on the machine and listened to some great music. The Lord was good to me. Not only has Dr. Marks changed my life, but the office help is excellent. I have now started a new life. I do things that I didn’t know I could do. I thank the Lord for my doctor, Dr. Barry Marks, for what he has done in my life. It is all good. Thank you so much.”

 

-Danny Rodriguez, Retired Civil Engineer, Westminster, CA

 

I’ve been having lower back, left hip, and leg pain …I’ve tried 2 different chiropractors and my medical doctor with no results.  I was told about the DRX9000 and went for a free exam and consultation and was told I would be a candidate for the DRX9000 so I went for it…  I didn’t notice much improvement until the 9^th treatment when my pain was much less and by the 10^th treatment I have been pain free.  I finished my 20^th treatment… and look forward to the long term experience.

 

-         Earl White, Retired Machinist, Mission Viejo, CA

 

I came to Dr. Marks after I found out about the DRX9000 on-line.  I wanted to find someone local where I could try this.  At the time my back pain was really bothering me.  Everything I did I noticed the pain.  I couldn’t do many things, like exercise, lift objects, or anything that active.  I would question if I wanted to go to the mall with my wife because the walking would irritate my back pain.

 

After going through the program at Dr. Marks’ office I am back to doing active physical activities and I don’t feel limited in any way except heavy lifting.  I did overdo it once since I’ve gotten better and caused myself to feel slight sensations where my pain used to be.  But luckily it’s very slight compared to what I once felt.

 

I appreciate the staff and Dr. Marks himself.  Everyone has been very friendly and I actually look forward to my treatments.  It’s very relaxing.  I recommend this treatment and this office to anyone suffering from sciatica.

"I was having lots of pain in my knees and lower back...I couldn't hardly sleep at night...I couldn't walk my grandson to school anymore because of the pain. I walk and kneel down and enjoy lots of things I couldn't do. I feel so good, I thank Dr. Marks because I had gone to several doctors and no one helped me. It's been about a year since I've felt this good. They are all friendly and make you feel like you have known them for a long time."

- Connie Ortiz, 73, Grandmother, Orange, CA

 

Dr. Marks;

 I just wanted you to know how much better I feel. I used to have severe pain due to a disc problem in my low back. It was so bad I couldn’t sit or stand. My medical doctor prescribed medication, but they really didn’t work. I still could not stand straight and had a hard time getting out of a chair. I used to take Advil every day. Since I began coming here I feel so much better and am back to my usual routine. I haven’t had to take any Advil either! Thank you.

 

Kristen Wilson, Financial Planning Asst., Fullerton, CA

 

Initially, my recovery was slow, but after several weeks, the pain started to lessen, and today it’s over 95 % gone.  After 25 treatments on the DRX-9000, I can now sit, stand, walk around, and get in and out of bed with almost no pain.  I’ve even been able to golf, kayak, and go on bike rides with my wife again!  I thank God for Dr. Marks and the DRX-9000.”

Kristin’s Story

 

The first time I learned what back pain was I was in Jr. High School. I grew seven inches the year I turned twelve. My knees hurt, my neck hurt and my back hurt. I had no injuries so my mother and doctor told me they were just “growing pains”. I probably should have gone to a chiropractor.

 

They were just growing pains so I got used to them. I learned to just ignore the pain when I hurt. I went through High School and the pain didn’t bother me, but I slouched a lot. It just seemed more comfortable than sitting up straight. Mom nagged, “stand up straight.” But I always got tired and ended up slouching anyway. I probably should have gone to a chiropractor.

 

By the time I got to college my back started to bother me again. First, I thought it was stress. Then, I thought it was the mattress. I took Yoga classes. I got inserts for my shoes. These were temporary fixes, but overall, I didn’t feel any better. I probably should have gone to a chiropractor.

 

After graduation, I learned that I couldn’t tolerate having a desk job. Sitting for most of the day hurt my back. I needed to either stand up or lie down. When I became a teacher, my back didn’t hurt because I was on my feet all day. However, I did end up standing through most of my credentialing classes and staff meetings. I probably should have gone to a chiropractor.

 

It wasn’t until I realized that I couldn’t sit and hold my fiancés hand through the length of a movie that I finally went to the chiropractor. I’m so glad I finally did. Now my fiancé is my husband and we go to the movies almost every week. We are even planning a cross-country road trip! There will be a lot of sitting, and it will feel great - thanks to Dr. Marks.

Dr. Marks is more than a chiropractor.  He has treated my daughters and my granddaughter, each coming to him with complaints ranging from bizarre or unique to very common....even tragic.  Each time he gave his very best, meeting, often exceeding the needs of the patient and the circumstances.

  

Since my first visit in 2000, Dr. Marks has treated "immobile fingers" (I can move them normally now), he has helped me regain strength in my arms and hands, and I rarely suffer from tension and stiffness in my neck and shoulders like I had for over 30 years.  Dr. Marks has successfully treated my carpal tunnel syndrome and my lower and upper back, making it possible for me to avoid the surgery suggested by other doctors. 

 

His genuine concern and dedication caused him to discover things from my x-rays and other tests that no other doctor had noticed.  He helped me to understand my problems, but more importantly he helped them to improve.  His kindness and compassion since the death of my son leave me speechless......and grateful.         

 

So that's why I say to me Dr. Marks is more than a chiropractor.  He has been given a rare gift and has chosen to share his knowledge and skill helping people like me.  I feel very blessed.

 

A Grateful Patient,

 

Patti Kellem, Mom and Grandma, Orange, CA 

 

“I have lived with back pain for over 7 years as a result of a work-related injury…that resulted in 3 bulged discs, leg pains and severe back pain. Normal chiropractic adjustments only brought short term relief. After my first six week session with Dr. Marks and the DRX9000 I can honestly say that I am experiencing much more relief than I have ever felt. My pain has become almost non-existent and my range of motion in all directions is greatly improved. I am finding it much easier to get out of bed in the morning…my early morning stiffness has improved to almost non-existent. I would recommend this to anyone who feels that they have tried everything and think that they are always going to be in pain. This works!

-Kevin Thornton, San Dimas, CA

"Before Dr. Marks there would be times that I would be laid up in bed due to muscle spasms and pain that I was experiencing, in one instance taking muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory medication to relieve pain. Since my car accident 10 years ago I have not missed a day of work or had to cancel an activity because of my lower back. If you ask me, I will tell you that I am a firm believer in chiropractic care and especially thankful to Dr. Marks and the staff at Orange Coast Chiro Care."

- Ken Rothman, 42, Salesman, Anaheim, CA

 

"Within a short period of time...I have less shoulder pain and more flexibility in my neck. And I never have to wait."

“Dear Dr. Marks and staff;

Thanks to you that I am feeling so much better and am able to walk without pain most of the time. May God bless you always.”

-Connie Cabrera, 63, Retired, Anaheim, CA

“Lower back problems started about 3 years ago.  I am a very active person competing in Masters Track and Field, golf, and going to the gym 4 days a week.  I went to an orthopedic doctor who sent me to a physical therapist.  Visited my chiropractor many times as well as acupuncture treatments.  While it all helped (slightly), I still had to take Advil and other anti-inflammatories for minor relief.  I didn’t want to give up my activities but was strongly considering it until I heard about the DRX 9000 treatment.  After completing the program, I am about 75% better.  I have started my activities (shot putt, golf) and have no pain in my legs.  I’m a happy camper!”

                                    - Henry Ross, Masters Athlete, Garden Grove, CA

 “ Thank you so much for making my treatments on a daily basis so pleasant.  I feel truly blessed to have met all of you.  I could feel from the very beginning the good energy in your office.  What a wonderful experience.  I will gladly recommend you to all I come in contact with.  Thanks again.”

                                          - Connie Pinckard, Retired, Anaheim Hills, CA

 “My husband has been a patient of Dr. Marks for approximately 15 years and recently had the experience of being treated through the DRX 9000 system because of a car accident two years ago.  I have seen Dr. Marks listen and advise my husband on how to take care of himself while providing chiro care for him.  My husband and I have a great respect for Dr. Marks.  There was a time my husband couldn’t even walk and he opened the office for him on his day off while providing an emergency treatment.  I remember this day clearly.  Dr. Marks is always there to greet you with a smile and a listening ear.  He goes more than the extra mile.  God is truly working through Dr. Marks.  Why, he even took the time to see our dying dog and checked out his x-rays so that we could feel assured we were providing him with the right decisions through our vet.  Dr. Marks, never lose the human side of you during your practice, because this is a great part of what makes you a wonderful doctor.  May God bless your practice, your associates and family.  Thank you.”
-         Sarkis and Theresa Khedrian, Anaheim, CA

 “Before finding Dr. Marks I was receiving chiropractic care for over a year from a previous auto accident.  The adjustments would only help me for a few days and then I was in pain again.  The one thing I couldn’t do anymore was to get down on the floor and play with my young grandchildren, or to pick them up without having pain.  I had almost given up hope that I would be able to do those things again.  After treating with Dr. Marks with the DRX machine and adjustments I am now able to play with my grandchildren on the floor and pick them up with no pain, which gives me so much joy!  Thank you Dr. Marks for being the professional expert you are in understanding what treatment I needed to be able to have my life back again!”
                                    -   Kathy Osborne, Real Estate Agent, Orange, CA

 “Can this pain-free bliss continue?  Bearing five children left me with such sciatic nerve pain, I didn’t know how to function without pain.  After my treatment, I have been pain free and enjoying every minute of it.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
                                                 -  Dee Mader, Self-Employed, Orange, CA

 “The DRX-9000 was my answer to many prayers!  I struggled with lower back pain for many years.  I felt at times unable to care for my daughter, and little things like sneezing used to cause tremendous pain.  After only 5 weeks of treatment – I AM PAIN FREE!  Thank you Dr. Barry and Christy and Anna – You are awesome! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!”
                               - Sandra Wickham, Stay-at-Home Mom, Anaheim, CA

“Words cannot describe what the Orange Spine and Disc Rehabilitation Center has done for me.  I am only 24 years old and was crying at least once a day because of my bulging herniated discs. All my doctors did, was suggest surgery and give me pain pills.  After all the treatments, I am living a pain free normal life. I have a smile now instead of tears. I am so greatful that God has lead me to Dr. Marks and his wonderful staff.  Thank you all!”
                                        -  Michelle Wichlac, Sales Marketing, Chino, CA

"I used to have big knots in my neck, since treatment with Dr. Marks, I no longer have them."

- Alice Fraley, Anaheim, CA

 

After a car accident, "I visited Dr. Marks for lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain and headaches. I was unable to play softball, play golf, ride my bike and working was very difficult. After two months of treatment my headaches have gone away. My low back pain has generally gone away. The same holds true for my neck and shoulder pain. I can ride my bike again and play golf. I also have an easier time working."

- Ryan Wein, 27, Financial Specialist, La Mirada, CA
