Patient Experiences and Results

Read what practice members say about their experiences and results with Dr. Sara.

I came in initially to reconnect, realign, heal, and relax my nervous system. I was experiencing discomfort from sitting at my desk all day.

I now feel like I am more open to change and becoming more flexible in my thinking - or realizing how important it is!

I’m more aware of my posture, my breath, and when my body holds tension. I have more awareness about how to release that tension, and movement is generally easier. I am learning to listen and pay attention to the nudges and whispers, messages I receive.

I am listening more to my body. I pay attention to how I fuel my body (less sugar, more real food), I’m walking more, and my posture is improving.

I’m ready to be more open to bigger things - a move, allowing more abundance, more flexibility. - H.K.

I originally came to see Dr. Sara because of vertigo. After the first 12 visits, I have no more dizziness! Yay! I am continuing care so that I can feel better overall. I can’t wait to see what else improves. - Deanna I.

After 12 visits, I have noticed less pain in my hip, my neck has more movement and is less stiff, and my walking seems better – I’m not limping! I generally feel better than I have in the last six months. I’m also happier with how my body feels and am happier in general. I’m now ready to make more changes for my health. I’m going to continue care because of the progress I’ve made so far. - Kim K.

I started Network Spinal Care with Dr. Sara to fix my posture and lower back problems. I now have naturally better posture and I am calmer. I’ve come to understand that a correct posture is an essential ingredient to being more present and happy. I want to continue care because it benefits my day-to-day life. Now, I’m ready to start taking more risks and live according to my nature! - Aleksandar V.

I came in because of back and neck pain. I have less back pain and my foot pain is gone! I’m going to keep coming so I keep improving. - Joanna M.

After each session, I am fully relaxed and at peace. I believe I am mentally more calm and have less stress or anxious thoughts. - Allan B.

I first came to see Dr. Sara to continue with my Network Care and to improve my lower back issues. I was also interested in pursuing emotional healing, specifically with anxiety.

I have been seeing Dr. Sara 2-3 times a month for two years. I have seen improvements with my lower back pain and spinal posture. In addition, I have greater emotional balance and ability to handle stress and changes in my life. I have noticed a decrease in my anxiety levels and an increase in positive feelings about myself. I have discovered I like who I am! I no longer feel I have to live according to the judgement of others.

With the support of Dr. Sara’s Network Care, I seek to achieve even greater physical, mental, emotional and spiritual openness and balance. I look forward to having even more self-awareness and self-acceptance in the future. - Carl A.

I first visited Dr. Sara in 2020. I originally started seeing Dr. Sara to treat pain caused by a degenerated disk in my neck. Since starting care, my neck mobility has improved, and I am no longer in pain. Driving is easier, and everything is just better without pain!

I have also noticed other improvements. I am more aware of my breathing, and it is deeper. I am more in tune with the tension in my body. I am better able to listen to my body’s needs. One of the non-physical things I have noticed is that I am less likely to blow up at people - most of the time!

I want to continue care to keep feeling good, keep improving my posture and flexibility, and prevent future discomfort. I believe it really helps! - Colleen S.

I started care back in March 2012. I had multiple pain issues following a car accident that forced me to seriously reduce my lifestyle to accommodate them.

I live completely differently now! I lived so small around my injuries’ impacts, but working with Dr. Sara has raised my spirit and mind in sync with my body’s opening up. I feel an expansiveness and courage now; a willingness in EVERY area of my life.

I am feeling more conscious of my body’s circuitry and involuntary workings, and I am so healthily enabled to support and help that – eat better, think better. I notably breathe more deeply, so now my breath is always easy and smooth. Dr. Sara did specific work ‘opening’ my intercostal muscles to release each session, gaining open breath. This was a lot of work!

I feel like I live in my skin now. I have gained a deeper awareness of knowing exactly what my body needs. My body communication is clearer, louder, helpful, and I am able to listen and hear it for joys and help!

I feel the best I ever have in my life!

I love chiropractic because I feel “impact-full” information charge through my body’s systems EVERY session. This is so powerful for the rest of my week’s actions and motivation. I have increased clarity of mind, and there is a clarity and fueling of impact. It has opened my bodily awareness.

Continuing care is important to me because I want the bigger life that my body suggests is available; progressively, step by step, rung by rung, entrainment by entrainment!

I am now actively pursuing a writing and performance career as a lifestyle that was repressed, oppressed, and “suffocating”, before Dr. Sara.

I want to express my whole-hearted gratitude for all the support as I learn and grow through accessing and conditioning the wisdom in my systems! - Laura O.

I first came to see Dr. Sara in April of 2018 because I had neck, hip and lower back pain. To start, I came twice per week, after a couple of months, I started to come once per week, and now two times per month.

Since I have been receiving Network Spinal Care from Dr. Sara, I have noticed that my feelings about life and my ability to enjoy life have markedly improved. There has been a big change for the better. I have greater emotional balance and have a higher ability for tolerance in my work and working relationships. I have discovered that for a long time, I let my perceived failures dictate my present and future. I feel it really is digging out old stuff that I have no idea how to access on my own. I have also realized that under the dark layers is light.

Now that I have been receiving Network Spinal Care regularly, I feel like I have greater overall health and happiness. I want to continue care with Dr. Sara because there is more work to do, and my body and mind really like it! -Tamara M.

I started with Dr. Sara in May of 2017 because I had persistent back and neck pain. While initially I came two times per week, after a couple of months I started to come two times per month.

Since I have been receiving Network Spinal Care from Dr. Sara, the initial pain that had brought me here has decreased significantly. I am much more mobile than I had been in previous months. In addition, I am feeling much better emotionally. I have discovered that the parts of the body work as a whole. Every part of the body is connected in some way. The brain is very powerful.

Now that I have been receiving Network Spinal Care regularly, I would like to engage in more types of physical activity. I have made great progress and I don’t want to slip back to where I had been before I started with Dr. Sara. - Sue S.

First visit January 2019: My goals were to gain self-confidence and learn how to better cope with stress and anxiety. 

Since I have started care, I have developed a stronger will to take on new challenges and personal goal setting. I have overcome self-doubt. I feel better about myself and have better ways of expressing myself and my emotions. I have discovered that I handle stress better now and feel more confident. I have noticed that my back has straightened out. I have more energy and a desire to stay active and conscious of my health.

I am ready to pursue more frequent exercise and a new career path. I am open to different possibilities and have a greater willingness to take risks.

I want to continue care because it makes me feel good about myself, I have more energy and a positive mindset. - Natasa R.

I initially came to see Dr. Sara in 2013. I first came into her office because I was experiencing chronic fatigue, PTSD, fibromyalgia and depression. My pain and low energy made it difficult to get through each day. After just a few weeks of regular care with Dr. Sara, I was able to stand taller, feel calmer, and experience increased strength.

I have continued to experience a greater quality of life with continued Network care. I have greater ability to adapt to changes. I have a more stable mood. I can walk a lot more and feel a new sense of awareness and wellbeing. I have increased ease in maintaining my health, and I enjoy my life more. I have discovered that I am worth caring for and that I am far stronger than I believed before.

I now focus on all the positive and possible aspects in life. I am ready to walk in simplicity, kindness and compassion. - Linda E.

Lauren first started coming to see Dr. Sara in the spring of 2018 when she was 11 years old. She had recurring ankle, knee and hip pain that moved between each location depending on her activities. It had been ongoing for three years. We had tried other forms of treatment with limited success.

Dr. Sara’s treatments quickly showed their effectiveness. After a few weeks of regular visits, the pain had gone away in all areas. We continued care as there were so many other added benefits that we continue to notice. She is able to recover more quickly from strenuous practices with her swim team. She has greater flexibility throughout her body. She rarely gets minor aches and pains, generally associated with being a very active, growing kid. When pains or illness arise, she recovers far quicker than before care. 

In addition to the positive physical benefits from Network Care, we also found that her mental and emotional well-being improved. Lauren is calmer, relaxed and goes to bed easier at night. She has better concentration and can practice piano and do her schoolwork with greater focus and improvement over a shorter period of time with less frustration. She is able to handle her nerves better during swim meets and times when she has to perform in front of an audience.

Lauren always looks forward to appointments and asks when her next visit with Dr. Sara is! - Leanne R. (Mom)

I first started coming to see Dr. Sara in November 2018. I had chronic lower back pain and was looking for increased mental and emotional well-being.

Since I started care with Dr. Sara, I have noticed that I have more focus at work, I am less quick to anger, and I have more feelings of relaxation and happiness. I have discovered that self-care is important. Feeling well physically equals feeling well mentally.

With the support of Dr. Sara’s Network Care, I want to focus on being more vocal about my needs and saying “no” more without feeling guilty or bad. I want to be more open to spontaneity and changes. I look forward to continuing my care to reduce pain and maintain the more positive feelings that I have been cultivating. - C.W.

In the fall of 2013, I was suddenly struck with a horrible case of vertigo. It made me dizzy, induced vomiting, and obviously affected my ability to function at work and at home. I sought the assistance of my chiropractor, but did not find that it produced the relief I was hoping for. I suffered for a number of weeks before coming to see Dr. Sara to see if a different method of chiropractic could bring relief. All I can say is that walking through the door of the clinic was an excellent decision. My vertigo is 80% gone, which is virtually a miracle!

NSA treatments have made me more aware of my breathing, as well as being aware of where and when my body is holding tension. In addition to helping with my vertigo, treatments have also reduced my lower back pain. I am happy to be a practice member and will continue with a routine of regular weekly visits. My entrainment time is the most peaceful and relaxing part of my day. Feeling better allows me to focus on my goals of being able to devote more time to sewing and writing, which brings me joy! - Amanda B.

I started chiropractic with Dr. Sara for my lower back pain. I also had ankle and knee pain from a bad fall and surgery that I’d had 2 years ago. I had trouble walking up stairs. I had to go slowly, one foot at a time. I couldn’t do all the activities I wanted to do. I also had fairly frequent headaches.

I have been seeing Dr. Sara for 9 months now, and what a difference! I am able to go upstairs much more easily and can alternate on most days. My low back usually is consistently improved, and my knees and ankles feel much better. I find that I can breathe easier. I am also doing more than I could before and living my life more. I am looking forward to what is next for me in life. When I retire, I see more possibilities! - Barbara S.

I have been receiving weekly Network Spinal Analysis care from Dr. Sara O’Neill for the past few years. I believe that her entrainments have helped me tremendously, both physically and emotionally.

For years, I suffered with back pain because of scoliosis of the spine. I believe that I am out of pain because of the regular NSA entrainments I receive from Dr. Sara.

There is no need for me to take any prescription drugs anymore. the influence of the NSA care helps me become more aware of and manage any emotional issues that may come up. Emotionally, I keep a positive attitude and I’m living without pain.

I am 61 years old and without the loving care that I receive from Dr. Sara O’Neill, I would not experience the wonderful quality of life that I do now. She has been a blessing in my life. I am eternally grateful.

Thank you, Dr. Sara! - Felicity B.
