Fibromyalgia and Disc Problems

Peggy William's Success Story

Since 2006, I have had a host of health problems. I had repeated infections, persistent pain in my back, headaches, numbness and tingling in my hands and legs, was tired all the time, and had flu-like symptoms. I had been to several doctors trying to get help. They would immediately prescribe medications to mask my symptoms without ever finding out what was causing the symptoms and then treating the cause to help control or possibly eliminate my illness. They were either too busy to really listen, or they didn’t think the pain I suffered from was real. I had completely lost confidence in doctors and had given up hope of ever finding out what was wrong with me.

My sister and brother-in-law had been watching Med-Call with Dr. Greg Millar for a long time, and they were amazed at his vast knowledge and expertise in dealing with a myriad of health issues. At my sister’s urging, I watched Med-Call on TV. I didn’t think a chiropractor could help me, but I was desperate to find relief for my constant pain. Dr. Millar stated that he was a patient’s advocate. He said that no one should ever have to live in pain.

Thankfully, Dr. Millar agreed to take me as a patient at Millar Multimedical. At my initial consultation with Dr. Millar, he really listened as I told him about my medical history, and he treated me with dignity and respect. His plan of action was to get to the root cause of my health problems. He said he would leave “no stone unturned” until he found the cause of my chronic illness. He told me that I would have blood work and certain tests done to check every system in my body to make sure they were all functioning properly. A weakness in one system leads to malfunction in others, and this is what causes illness to occur. He said it had taken years for my health to deteriorate, and it would take time for my body to heal and for me to be restored to optimal health. I believe God used Dr. Millar to finally address problems I have had for a long time, and begin treating those problems - not just the symptoms.

Dr. Millar immediately put me on vitamins and supplements to boost my immune system. Then, he consulted with his team of highly trained Physical Therapists, and Dr. Michael Dick, a Rheumatologist who is a brilliant diagnostician, to discuss my case. They began working with me to restore muscle function by teaching me how to do daily exercises and how to manage my pain and inflammation more effectively. This exceptional group of health care professionals taught me to be proactive and not just reactive when it comes to taking care of my health.

I have learned an important lesson through this whole process; I have to take responsibility for making wise decisions that promote good health. I have even been encouraged to lose weight after watching Dr. Millar and his wife Traci on their journey to get fit. I am eternally grateful to Dr. Millar and his caring and compassionate staff for being the instruments that God has used to ensure I get the help I have desperately needed for so long. I am looking forward to being pain free some day, and to not only living, but enjoying my life again!

After 2 Neck Fusions and 2 Lumbar Surgeries - I Finally Found the Right Doctor

Martha Hartsfield Success Story

My name is Martha Hartsfield, and I have had years of back problems. I’ve had 2 cervical fusions and 2 lumbar surgeries. I have been in pain for years. Last year my left leg and foot pain became so intense it was causing problems with balance and walking from the burning and numbness. I’ve been to so many doctors, and I’ve had many procedures from injections to surgery. I thought I had had it all. I saw Dr Millar on TV and I thought he seem to know what he’s doing and he seemed to really care. I started coming to Dr. Millar having adjustments, physical therapy, and exercise, and I have improved greatly. I’ve been coming to Dr. Millar now for about 5 months and I’m very pleased with the progress I’ve made. My pain is a lot less now. Some days I have almost no pain. I move around a lot better, and I don’t have the tingling and numbness and burning in my feet and legs anymore that I’ve had for years. One day I was taking groceries out of my trunk, and my neighbor came over and said, “I saw you go to your mailbox the other day, and you looked a lot like the old Martha with just the way you were walking. You look like you’re doing a lot better.” I thought “I am doing a lot better.” “I finally found the right doctor”.

Neck Pain & Decompression Traction

Janice Harper’s Success Story

I started coming to Dr. Millar in 1999. I had pretty constant severe pain in my neck, left shoulder, and arm. He ordered x-rays and MRI’s at the hospital and found that I had extensive herniated and bulging disc and degenerative problems. With that, Dr. Millar started me on activator adjustments and physical therapy. He used the disc pump on my neck and started me doing traction. This was before there was a DTS table. So, Dr Millar had me use a 5 pound weight hanging from my neck every night. If I didn’t do that every day, I would hurt the next day. The adjustments and traction held my pain at a reasonable level. Some weeks I had no pain.  

In late 2000, I started having problems in the right shoulder/neck In early 2001,  Dr. Millar got his first DTS table. I was his first patient on DTS. The relief was immediate. After just a few treatments, I was pain free. Dr. Millar now has me on DTS boosters where I’m only doing DTS for 3 days every 3 months. Since doing the Boosters,  I have been pain free. In between the DTS boosters I do two adjustments a month. If I miss one because we’re out of town I feel it.

I believe that Dr. Millar or Dr. Greg as we long time patients call him, saved me from doing surgical procedures. Dr. Greg has helped me significantly, and has made a great change in my life. I’ve been to other chiropractors and they’ve never taken an interest in me like Dr. Greg has. They would just adjust me to make me feel better for the time being, but Dr. Greg took the time to find the underlying problem to improve the condition long-term instead of just a quick fix. My condition has improved dramatically since the first time I came to Dr. Greg at Millar Chiropractic. Dr. Greg is great, an easy guy to work with, and always accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Greg, the staff and chiropractors that I’ve seen here over the years. It’s been a truly great experience.

Low Back Pain

Sheila Prince’s Success Story

Well, I first saw Dr. Greg in July of 2000. I had been having back problems for years and years with my low back and neck. I had seen other chiropractors before him for various reasons. They helped, but I just wasn’t satisfied. I started seeing Dr. Greg and his treatments were not as invasive as others. He used the activator instead of twisting you around, and I liked that. And then he included other therapies that helped as well, so that it was a more sustained help. After his treatments, the problems didn’t just come right back.

I started seeing him for bulging discs in my neck, and one in my lower back. The medical doctors just wanted to basically give me pain medicine and not treat the problem, but Dr. Greg gave me adjustments, physical therapy and DTS traction therapy which really helped. After having traction therapy for about 6 weeks, I began to stop having the low back pain. Dr. Millar told me at that point that if I’d take care of myself and continue exercising and keep my back adjusted that I should continue to be fine. He was right. As long as I did the exercise and kept up the adjustments, I had no pain. He and the Doctors at UAB told me that if I didn’t keep that up, that I would be looking at possible surgery in a few years.

But any time I’ve had any problems in my back or neck, Dr. Greg would be my “go-to” person and he’d fix it. Over the past, almost 10 years, Dr. Greg has become more than just a doctor to me and my family; he’s become a friend. He is a very special person. I know I have a Doctor that listens, cares deeply and has my best interest at heart. He will always go that extra mile for me and my family.

General Health

Marvin Hale's Success Story

     I have gotten great results from the treatments of Dr. Millar. I don’t delay when there is a problem developing. I don’t delay having it checked out and corrected. That way, I can not let a problem get a bigger hold. When a pain or problem first begins to develop, I get in to see Dr. Millar and get it corrected. I spend much less time with my pain and visits to the doctors by getting it corrected properly. Occasionally, I get what I refer to as a ‘tune up’ to keep a problem from developing further. I highly recommend Dr. Millar’s treatments and the use of good chiropractors to keep joints, muscles, and the back functioning properly.

Dr Greg’s Comment

I have been seeing Marvin Hale for 8 years now. He is a great patient who understands that the body is a natural healing organism. He understands that chiropractic gives him a leg up on staying in good health. He has followed our treatment plan and now exercises at the gym 6 days a week even though he is in is mid 80’s.
