My first visit was today. I’m impressed and am asking myself why I haven’t come here sooner. I’m excited about making Franks Chiropractic part of my overall health and wellness routinely.
Best Chiropractic adjustment EVER! I’ve been going to Dr. Franks for 30 years.

Went kayaking recently and have been able to do upper body weights and push ups. Who would have thought last October, with the carpal and tendon problems in my right hand, that I would be kayaking? Thank you Dr. Rick Franks!
Our beautiful daughter Courtney was born in November 2010. As all babies do, she changed our life dramatically in so many ways. We couldn’t be happier with all the changes she brought us, except for one change that really affected us more than we could have imagined. We went from receiving 8 hours of sleep a night pre-baby to 2-3 hours (if we were lucky) post-baby.
We were prepared for sleep deprivation but what we were experiencing wasn’t normal. Courtney didn’t sleep at all. She would “cat nap” she would sleep 10-20 minutes and then she would be up for 5 or 6 hours. This was her routine. Day or night it was the same sleep for 10-20 minutes, up 5 or 6 hours there were no long stretches of sleep. Once in a while, if we were lucky, she would sleep for an hour but it was never a restful sleep. She would toss, turn, and moan the entire time she was sleeping. It was very had to get her to sleep and even harder to lay her down. She would scream like she was in pain every time we laid her down to sleep or even change her diaper. One of us would stay up with her at all times because the only way we could get her to sleep, even for 20 minutes, was to hold her. We were getting extremely exhausted.
Sleep wasn’t our only concern. We spent a lot of time at the pediatrician for the first 6 weeks of her life. Courtney wasn’t gaining weight well. She was a very colicky baby and suffered from horrible gas pains non-stop. We tried everything that was recommended by her pediatrician, our family, friends, and all the baby books. We tried different bottles, different kinds of formula, gas drops, herbs, we tried everything. Nothing helped. Our pediatrician became concerned because at 2 months old Courtney still wasn’t gaining a lot of weight. He ordered an ultrasound on her stomach to see if she had a blockage in her stomach or intestines. The ultrasound came back inconclusive because our poor baby had so much gas in her intestines they couldn’t read the test. We were told to keep trying different formulas and not to worry “all babies cry and are gassy”.
Dr. Franks had asked us to bring Courtney in to him several times however this is our first baby and we were beyond over protective of her. We barely let her grandparents hold her. There was no way we were going to let a chiropractor work on our brand new, 2 month old baby. While my husband was a little more receptive of the idea of taking her to Dr. Franks, I drug my feet. I was very skeptical of the whole idea. However, after complete exhaustion set in from 2 months of sleepless days and night and all the crying (from me and the baby) I finally gave in and we took Courtney to see Dr. Franks.
I will be honest; it was very difficult for me to hand my baby over to Dr. Franks during that first visit. I didn’t trust this very much at all. Dr. Franks calmed my fears by showing me how gentle of a touch he uses on babies. There were no cracking and popping sounds. It was quick, painless and Courtney seemed to even enjoy it. Her first adjustment went very well.
After Courtney’s second adjustment we were already noticing a big difference in her. She went from sleeping 20 minutes at a time to sleeping 2-3 hours! After each adjustment the sleeping kept increasing and after only 2 weeks of adjustments (6 adjustments total) our baby was sleeping 8 hours a night! Her gas pains were totally gone and she was a totally different baby. She use to be very rigid and was not easy to cuddle or hold. She became very relaxed and cuddly. There was no more crying when we laid her down to sleep or to change her diaper. She started growing and gaining weight. She became a much happier and content baby and we became much happier parents. After 6 weeks Courtney was sleeping through the night and waking up happy, content, and well rested. Courtney and Dr. Franks formed quite a bond she is always so happy to see him and smiles and talks to him during her adjustments. Courtney will be 2 years old in November and we still come to see Dr. Franks. I have to admit that I had very little faith in chiropractic care for infants. The thought of it made me cringe and I had a hard time giving into my fears. But I am so glad we did this. This is the best thing we have done for our little girl. I strongly recommend parents consider chiropractic treatment for their babies, especially if they suffer from colic.
Courtney is so different from when we first came to see Dr. Franks she is a happy and content little girl she is always so excited to go and see Dr. Franks and his staff she always has a big smile and loves to talk with everyone. Thank you to Dr. Franks. You have changed our lives, and as Courtney says “Happy Day”.
My problems began about a year ago and had started getting worse recently. I was suffering from extreme dizziness, nausea, and numbness on the left side of my face and arms. I went to the medical doctor for a heart test and a CAT scan to check for signs of a stroke. I started to see Dr. Franks and Dr. Curtis and since I started my care I have had a complete turnaround. I am now able to work again and take less medication for headaches. I am also stronger and more active than before. I would highly recommend going to see Dr. Franks and Dr. Curtis. They even offered to come in to the office to see me on the day they were closed if I needed it. Anyone considering chiropractic care, I would tell them to do it; it works. I am now able to work on my classic cars once again.
A special thanks to Dr. Franks and Dr. Curtis!
My daughter Madison age 7, had tingling, pain, and numbness in her fingers on both hands, and she couldn’t grip objects and for a period of time. Madison also suffered from severe headaches this went on for 5 or 6 months. Madison went to doctors who scheduled her for a MRI, but couldn’t help. This is why we sought care at Franks Chiropractic Life Center.
Since Madison started her chiropractic care with Dr. Franks; she rarely has headaches and she had no more tingling in the mornings instead of pain everyday. Madison looks forward to getting adjusted and she loves to sign her name on the sign in sheet and being acknowledged as a young lady. Madison loves the doctors and Staff and she wants to continue getting her adjustments so that she will remain healthy and active.
I would tell others that are considering chiropractic care that it truly does work over time. Just look at Madison, she is proof.
