About 10 years ago I injured my sciatic nerve shoveling snow and though I went to a chiropractor for many weeks, I ended up with “Electric stim” to contain my pain.  Though I continued with my chiropractor for about 2 years, I was never really free of pain.  As a result my sleep was affected because I could not find a comfortable position.  I eventually lost confidence and stopped being treated.  

After several years my hip was getting to the point where I had to find a solution as the loss of sleep and mobility was affecting my life too much.  

Through a set of circumstances, I came to see Dr. Holst.  In all the years of chiropractic service, no one had ever explained my problem as clearly as Dr. Holst.  Also he used a completely different technique, not requiring the snapping of my neck.  After a very short time and having no sleep problems, I have complete confidence.  I have found the answer to my problem.  I feel so much better now that I can sleep!  Thank you!

I initially went to Dr. Holst for a chronic low back pain condition that had been bothering me for years.  It was due to sports injuries and general over exertion and poor lifting practice.  With intense therapy, I returned to normal with no pain.  However, I didn’t realize the need for continued maintenance and exercise that he pushed and recommended.  I had to return to him on several occasions for severe pain outbreaks and finally got on a monthly maintenance program which has made all the difference.  I believe in chiropractic and in Dr. Holst.  He is always willing to listen to my body issues and can read my body and adjust me where I need it.  He is a gentleman and Barbara is efficient and greets everyone with a smile and a welcoming demeanor.  My wife, Liz, now goes regularly as well and is a firm believer as I am.  Financially, he is willing to keep people coming for their own self interest.  I find the money for maintenance because the benefits in a healthy lifestyle and in a minimum pain condition are well worth it.  I have been going for his treatment for a long time and find it to be a real component in maintaining my quality of life.  Dr. Holst genuinely likes people and looks out for his community.

I have been receiving chiropractic care on a regular basis for over 10 years now due to a neck injury I sustained at my place of employment.

Over the course of these 10 years my mother and all 3 of my siblings have had various back surgeries. My brother has a metal cage surrounding his spine. My mother has had discs removed from her neck, and both sisters have had herniated discs in their lower back operated on. It’s no wonder that doctors feel there may be a genetic back weakness in my family. Diagnosis aside, what clearly separates me from my family members is that I sought chiropractic treatment from the onset of my injury whereas they did not and have suffered greatly as a result.

I attribute my recovery and good back health to the ongoing chiropractic care that I receive.

Thank you Dr. Holst!!!

Because I’ve been coming to you for many years, on and off, I feel very comfortable and confident. In between my sessions there I’ve gone to physical therapy and although I only felt confotable with one of them I didn’t feel it helped me as much as Holst Chiropractic. I know now my case is an on going problem that will never be resolved, but with your help it’s much more tolerable. Everyone makes me feel like I am family they’re very caring and helpful, and always have a smile. I love coming here.

Mostly because of other alternatives I’ve tried and was not successful. I feel I’ve received the most help from Holst Chiropractic and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

God Bless!

As a person who regularly suffered from allergies and asthma I often had to carry 2 inhalers and take daily medication. When I regularly attend my chiro appointments, as I have tried to for the past few years, I do not have to use my inhalers, though I always keep one “just in case”. I haven’t used a rescue inhaler in at least 3 years. My regular adjustments have not only assisted me to manage my back and shoulder pain, but have also greatly decreased my asthma symptoms.

Thanks Dr. Holst!

For years I never believed in chiropractors; until I met Doc Holst. Most of my life I’ve had pain in my back, and in my left arm. I’ve been going to him the past few months and I can truly say that he has helped me. I would say that about 70 to80% of my pain is gone. Also the Doc and his staff make you feel like family, and they really care about you, as my God cares about me.

Thank you to your staff and to you. God bless all of you.

While watching the news about the flu vaccine shortages it occurred to me that I didn't need to worry. I have not had the flu or a flu shot in years. I am employed as a Developmental Aide and am offered a flu vaccine each season except this year. I have always said no to the vaccine in the past because I am generally healthy. I don't do anything special, like extra exercise or even eat right, but I have been seeing Dr. Holst three times a month for almost fifteen years.

I herniated a disc in my lower back. I had to have surgery and then strained it again carrying a ladder. I began seeing Dr. Holst for chiropractic care afterward. At first there was a lot of stretching and physical therapy at home and "adjustments" at the office three times a week. My back was weak and prone to injury again, that has not happened and won't. I believe that the consistent care that Dr. Holst has given me over the years has directly influenced my well being.

When I first went to Dr. Holst in October 2004 I could barely walk due to extreme pain in my leg, back, and shoulders.

After a couple of weeks of adjustments I was able to maneuver again.

Each time I have an adjustment I feel better and better.

I’d like to add that Dr. Holst is extremely curtious and gentle, also the staff is very helpful and friendly

I have been a patient of Dr. Holst’s for a number of years. Recently I was told by my (primary) doctor I had a Hiatal Hernia. I told Dr. Holst. He gave me a special adjustment and poof the lump I felt between my breast plate was gone. I also had trouble swallowing bread. It would not go down. Now all that is gone. Thank you Dr. Holst.

I suffered dizziness for four years. This limited my daily activities, besides keeping me in a constant foggy mental state. I had all the latest tests for neurological problems: MRI, brain scan, carotid sonogram, and EEG; all the results were negative. I was given pills for my dizziness, but they didn’t work. After chiropractic care with Dr. Holst, I have resumed all my daily activities. Right after the first week the dizziness started to disappear. My only regret is that I should have started treatment from the beginning of my problem.

If you need chiropractic, and we all do, Dr. Holst and the Holst Chiropractic Office in Middletown is the place to go. Dr. Holst is a very kind and gentle man. His office staff also reflects his attitude, making his office a friendly and relaxing place to be.

Dr. Holst’s adjustments are very gentle and very effective. He knows the spine and listens to what the body tells him is needed for the relief of pain. I used to suffer from tingling in my pinkie and ring finger, and had headaches. After treatments with Dr. Holst, I am no longer plagued by these symptoms. I continue to see Dr. Holst to maintain the health of my spine and to help it learn to hold the proper alignment.

the atmosphere in the office is one of caring, compassionate, friendliness from the moment the patient arrives to the time they leave. They greet you with a real smile and a big “Hello!” and send you off with a wave and a cheery “See you soon!”

So, remember, when you hurt, you can go get an adjustment, or you can get the royal adjustment treatment with Dr. Holst and his caring staff at Holst Chiropractic Office.
