Patient Stories
We get letters. Lots of them. Here are some of them and my comments. —Dr. Kish
If you have your own success story with Dr. Kish, or a question about a story below, e-mail me at drkish@kishchiropractic.com .
Yes, I Treat Children—Even Newborns!
“My daughter
Emi had CONSTANT ear infections ! Many eye infections,
also ! At two years of age, she did not yet sleep through the night. Emi
was a miserable little girl. Even on antibiotics, she was still uncomfortable.
No one in our family was able to sleep through the night. We were all
EXHAUSTED. Because Emi had so MANY ear infections, we became very concerned
about her hearing. Tests showed she was already exhibiting hearing loss.
We felt we had no other option but ear tubes— it was a parent's nightmare
!
Dr. Kish —he is WONDERFUL ! Very patient. Takes the time to answer
ALL questions. He is exceptional with children. Emi is a HAPPY COMFORTABLE
child ! She began sleeping through the night shortly after starting treatment.
NO ear infections since starting chiropractic care. Emi is a NEW person.
Being healthy has let her happy, loving attitude shine through... At first
I was very skeptical about seeking chiropractic care for such a young
child. In retrospect, we wish we had begun treatment MUCH SOONER !! It
has made an incredible difference in our lives.”
—Dawn
Emi had an upper neck problem that I worked to correct. As her
nervous system was allowed to function normally, her body was better
able to identify and fight the chronic infections. Now that is why I love my job ! I have seen many children with a wide
array of presenting symptoms that I have been able to help. —Dr.

“Dear Dr. Kish, Thank you so much for taking my headache away.
As you recall I had the headache for 3 weeks, 24 hours a day. I was a
wreck. I was taking several medications that did not cut the pain and
I had a negative CAT scan of my head. I was really nervous about seeing
a chiropractor but you were my last hope.
I was very impressed by your knowledge and the way you explained everything
to me. I was in disbelief that my headache was gone after you worked on
me the first time. Eric and I were also very impressed when you gave us
the home exercises and self care instructions. It all makes so much sense,
but no one else has ever bothered to explain things or worked on me the
way you did.
Thanks again, Jamie ”
I wish everyone I treated had such immediate relief from a long term
debilitating problem as Jamie did. But when someone is entrusting me with
helping them, I will always go the extra mile for them. For each person
who comes in for treatment, I keep foremost in my mind : "let’s
get this person out of pain as soon as is humanly possible". That
is why I am here. I believe that each of us deserves to have only good
days or great days. Take nothing for granted. —Dr. K.
Yes, I Treat Athletes.
“Peter, I wanted to thank you for all of your help in preparing myself
for this past weekends marathon. The back felt great. Amber and I ran
together. No land speed records, but we finished strong ( 4 hrs 15 min).
Thanks again for helping make a great experience possible. Best, Steve."
Of course, the names have been changed to protect the innocent, but
the message is one we get alot around here. Just 10 days before the Madison
marathon, Steve tried lifting a boat trailer onto his truck. Guess what
happened? Despite pain killers, he was bent forward at his waist, unable
to stand straight because of severe back pain. With less than a week before
the race, he was heart broken that his year long training for his first
marathon was looking like a lost cause.
James, a friend of Steve, was one of my patients and told Steve: "
If anyone could help you, Dr. Kish could." When Steve came into my
office, he was despondent and doubtful what I could do for him that drugs
and other doctors couldn’t. I took Steve’s health and injury
history, performed a complete evaluation, and treated Steve. I designed
a specific home care plan for Steve from his exam findings. The treatment
and personalized home care I gave Steve allowed him to recover enough
to compete and complete his first marathon. But again, that’s why
I am here. I love this job !! —Dr. K
“Thank You Dr. Kish! For
taking care of me for the last three years. I also want to thank you for
taking the time to listen to my problems. It is a sad fact that most doctors
don't take the time any more to just listen. Thanks again! —Amy”
It was my pleasure to be there for you. —Dr Peter

her neck or shoulder and had numerous headaches.

Doris, Age 77
Doris began seeing Dr. Kish with complaints of bursitis in her upper
arm and shoulder. She had absolutely no movement in her arm and shoulder
and began wearing a sling to keep her arm still to avoid the severe pain.
Doris was unsure as the origin of her pain, but she states that it was
painful only when she over did it. She had her arm in a sling for 5 days,
when her shoulder became very painful and she could not use it all.
- Dr. Kish treated Doris five times over the next month and designed a home rehab program for her.
- She recovered with total relief of her pain and there is no pain to this day.
Doris wrote the exercises
that Dr. Kish taught her have helped her to keep the pain away. And she
is currently teaching the exercises to others in her family who have similar
problems. Dr. Kish has also treated Doris’ husband, children and
grandchildren.

Gary, Age 54
Gary began seeing Dr. Kish with complaints of severe lower back pain
that radiated into his leg and hip which had plagued him for years. These
symptoms were incurred due to a fall. He had problems driving a vehicle,
sitting and doing daily jobs.
- Dr. Kish treated Gary over the next several months with 100% improvement.
Gary states that Dr. Kish’s treatments are great and he will recommend Dr. Kish to anyone. Gary also states that the information and the exercises that Dr. Kish gave him have helped him tremendously. Gary still receives periodic adjustments from Dr. Kish to help prevent his symptoms from recurring. Gary has since referred his wife, son and friends in for treatments from Dr. Kish.

Bill M., Age 74
Bill began seeing Dr. Kish with complaints of pain in his left
arm and shoulder, and ultimately
very little use of his left arm. His pain was related to a neck subluxation
and a frozen shoulder rotator muscle group. These symptoms were
caused by over-lifting heavy objects over a period of three months. He
could not sleep through the night and it was very painful to lay on his
left side.
- Dr. Kish prescribed a home rehab plan and treated Bill nine times over the next month with 100% improvement in hi movement of his left arm.
- Treatment included soft tissue release and ultrasound.
- He is also free of pain.
Bill states that Dr. Kish has a very good personality and has a special way of making a person feel relaxed. "The instructions toward home exercises were excellent and the staff was very friendly and helpful in every way. Entering the clinic raises ones spirits. " Bill has been a patient of Dr. Kish’s since 1992 and has since referred his wife for care. Dr. Kish’s treatments have also provided her with relief.
I have treated hundreds of patients with shoulder and arm pain which involve the rotator muscles and the neck. Although the patient sees the problem as one area of pain, the actual problem is multi-layered and needs to be treated in a specific pattern to correct. These patients are very grateful for the cure, and it is very rewarding for me to be able to help them. Dr. Peter

infections, which he had been treating with antibiotics on a
persistent
basis.
- Daylon was treated intermittently over a few months with 100% resolution of his ear infections.
- Daylon has not had an ear infections upon starting treatments with Dr. Kish.
Daylon’s mom states that Dr. Kish makes coming to the chiropractor lots of fun and makes Daylon comfortable. Since Daylon started treatment with Dr. Kish his younger brother and sister have also become patients.
Chris loves to ballroom dance. It is her passion. Over a period of months, she began having stiffness in her neck and back. Then one morning she woke unable to turn her head or bend over. The pain put an immediate end to her work as a home cleaner and to her beloved dancing. She felt depressed and had no energy. she came to see me for help.
- On x ray examination, I found a previously undiagnosed degenerative lumbar disc and spine.
- She began treatment with adjustments and a home stabilization program.
Following successful treatment Chris wrote " Dr. Peter Kish, very knowledgeable and smart. I feel wonderful, can do whatever I want without any symptoms."
