Testimony of Victory: Cynthia Bay-Garten

When I heard about Lifeforce Family Chiropractic (LFFC) from a close friend, I thought this was too good to be true! When I came in for my new patient exam, I had been suffering in pain for many years from major back pain, arthritis, depression, fatigue, and fibromyalgia.  The depression has been a struggle for about 20 plus years. I am so thankful to my friend for telling me about LFFC, and talking me into coming because after a few weeks my depression was greatly improved. I was feeling so much better, not so sad or upset. After a few months, I was also feeling my body changing to the point that I did not need any of the medications my Doctor was giving me!! Yes..there is still some pain however nothing that I can't handle. Dr. Lofton has been wonderful! With GOD's Blessings he is making my life much more worth living or should I say easier to live it! Now, I can keep up with my grandchildren (6) and my family tells me that they can see a difference in my moods and quality of life.

Dr. Lofton and his entire staff have been great to my family and we are so thankful. Thank you GOD for bringing them into my life! I'm positive the future will be even better!!!

LFFC Comments:
We are so appreciative of Cynthia's dedication & boldness to share the message of the principled lifestyle to whomever she meets. As she puts it “I have told everyone, but only a few will listen”. Dr. Lofton chuckles at this statement because the first day he met Cynthia, she said two things: “No one has been able to help me, and I highly doubt you will be able to help me”, and “I don't know if I like you”...Dr. Lofton, asked her why, and she said because “You are too HAPPY”! Wow, to think that today she is Happy and off her Anti-depressants, and has eliminated all Pain Medications for Fibromyalgia! Above all things she states that she loves coming to LFFC and loves Dr. Lofton and staff...
 
Amazing, what Nerve Interference and Subluxation of the nervous system/spine can do to the thoughts and life of an individual.
 
We honor Cynthia as Practice Member of the Month for May 2013 due to her dedication to get well and stand rooted in living the principled lifestyle.

Testimony of Victory: The Wiebe Family

Our daughter Dani was diagnosed with Apraxia of Speech (inability to communicate accurately). After researching the Neurological based approach that LifeForce Family Chiropractic (LFFC) takes with the nervous system, we were convinced that this was something that we wanted to implement for Dani and maybe even for our whole family. The concept of removing any interference to allow for clear pathways and following this principled lifestyle was something that totally interested us as a family and was one of the reasons why our family decided to travel over 4 hours round trip 3x per week to get care via Dr. Lofton.
 
We currently bring 5 out of the 8 children that God has blessed us with and follow Dr. Lofton's recommendations of 3x per week due to 3 of our girls having scoliosis. We are very hopeful that these principles will help all of us to get correction in our spines and nervous system, and allow for our bodies to heal the way God designed them to heal.
 
As we have followed this principled lifestyle through healthier eating habits, proper nutrition, increased water intake, and consistent neurological based adjustments we have seen enormous improvements in all of our family’s health. Our kids are rarely sick when others around them are always sick, and other people have noticed changes in Dani’s speech and well being, so we are encouraged and thankful for this wonderful atmosphere that welcomes healing spiritually and physically.

LFFC Comments:
We are extremely excited to honor this whole family for their dedication to living out the principled lifestyle. This family has sacrificed tremendously by traveling over 4 hours round trip 3x per week for numerous months. They also are currently bringing all the kids that live at home and value the care to the extent that they have paid for all the care out of pocket, without any insurance reimbursement.

We wish all people would see the value in taking care of the temple (body) the way this family has, rather than coming up with excuses like so many of us do when it comes to sacrifice. We honor this family for the month of April due to their dedication to drive as far as they do, bring the whole family, and refer others from their small town in South West Mn.

Testimony of Victory: The Hammond Family

I met Dr. Lofton in the spring of 2005 at a church where he was speaking about subluxation and the evastating effects on the nervous system. My back was in such terrible pain, that I could not even bend
over and tie my shoes, without TEARS. That night, he and one of his friends prayed over me, and I was so touched by his passion to teach and pray for people that I called him on his cell phone to schedule an appointment. Since he had not yet opened his office, he offered to come to my house and adjust me. I was in shock that a doctor would be so passionate to come to my house and adjust me and my mother-in-law. By the end of the first week the pain had almost disappeared…It was amazing. I scheduled my whole family to get checked for subluxation when Dr. Lofton opened up his clinic in July of 2005. I can officially say that I was Dr. Lofton's FIRST patient, and am the LONGEST active patient being adjusted on a consistent basis. I have also referred several of my friends and my family to Lifeforce Family chiropractic (LFFC) to experience the power of chiropractic and prayer.
 
Dr. Lofton began to adjust my son, Carver, and was able to correct his knock knees in a short amount of time. A few years later, he began to adjust our daughter, Talia, when she was just an infant. Her sacrum was so out of alignment that the gluteal fold (crease) went at a 90 degree angle when it’s supposed to be in a straight line. Amazingly, this completely straightened out within a couple of months. Our third child, Kaiya, was born 3 months premature. We knew that regular chiropractic care would be extremely important to her brain and neurological development. Dr. Lofton stood with us in faith and prayed for complete healing for her neurological system. She is now 18 months old, walking and talking, and has no health concerns. Her medical doctors view her as a complete miracle. We know that lots of PRAYER & TORQUE RELEASE based chiropractic care made a huge difference in her healing.
 
Our family is grateful that we have been able to be a part of this unique practice. God is good, and so is LFFC:)Sara, JC, Carver, Talia, and Kaiya Hammond

Testimony of Victory: The Glum Family

I, Angela, started coming to LFFC after my 2 nd child was born in July 2006. I had just checked out a chiropractor who was at my current health club. That night I saw LifeForce Family Chiropractic’s ad in the paper and saw that they were Christian, and because we are Christian I knew I had to check it out. I am overweight and have always had lower back pain and menstrual cramping. I was the only one in my family going for a while so we could see results and because of the cost without insurance, and then it wasn’t long after that we signed up our 2 children, Leigha (9), and Zachary (6) and eventually my husband, Mike, started coming too. Over the years we have seen continued improvement to our bodies and health.
 
I recall one time I was dealing with such severe neck pain that I couldn’t even turn my neck either way. I cried from frustration and even thought maybe my spiritual life was causing the pain. I started reading my bible more frequently and got adjusted regularly and eventually the pain went away.
 
I don’t recall when it happened, but I don’t get the menstrual cramping that I used to and and all the symptoms associated with my menstrual cycle have calmed down quite a bit. It's a relief to know that I can feel normal in regards to my monthly cycle .
 
We’ve been very diligent to follow Dr. Lofton’s recommendations whenever we are sick or in pain. We try to get adjusted as soon as we detect we are getting sick if our weekly appt. is a few days away. Our kids are pretty healthy, but when they do get sick, it doesn’t seem to last very long and they are back to being themselves.
 
We’ve referred many friends to go to LFFC to get healing for themselves and their family’s bodies. I believe in the power of the body to heal itself when given what it needs to do so. Removing SUBLUXATIONS from our bodies is very important so they can function the way GOD intended..
 
I also did Dr. Lofton’s weight loss program and lost 26 pounds in five weeks! There was only one week that I did not adhere to follow the program. I'm extremely confident that I would had even greater results, if I would have remained diligent during the entire time.We love that we are constantly being educated about different products and things that can help us be healthier.
 
Mike has seen vast improvements with his lower back issues due to his routine visits. He has a herniated disk in his lower back that caused him, at times, extreme pain. He is still involved in a lot of sports and we can see based on his scans, that his body is constantly improving with the adjustments. Dr. Lofton has adjusted various subluxations in his back, shoulder, knee and elbow caused by sports injuries. These adjustments have removed the interferences and have allowed him to get back to playing more quickly, rather than just through general rest.
 
We appreciate all the education and healing we receive from God thru LFFC, and the prayers that have been said for us over the years. Dr. Lofton, is not only our Doctor, but we consider him and everyone at LFFC our friends!
 
Angela, Mike, Leigha & Zachary Glum
 
LFFC Comments:
We are incredibly privileged to Honor the Glum Family. They have been a tremendous Blessing in this community. We are humbled by their dedication and perseverance as they pursue even greater healing, a closerwalk with GOD and the continued implementation of living the principled lifestyle.

Testimony of Victory: Abbot Family
We feel very blessed to have found Dr. Lofton 7 years ago.   Torque release chiropractic has changed our lives!   I, Cheri Abbott, suffered with back pain for a long time and tried everything, with no success until I started seeing Dr. Lofton.   I tried every medical approach, Chiropractor, and pain Doctors, but failed to get 100% relief.   I have also had two auto accidents while seeing Dr. Lofton and I have no more symptoms from my whiplash injuries.   My husband was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. 
 
Doctors told him there is no treatment for it and he will just have to live with it!   After being adjusted, he no longer has any symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome!   He also had chronic mid-back pain from a college sports injury and no longer has the pain.   We have 11 children and expecting number 12 in April.   Before Chiropractic care, we were at the pediatric office constantly with ear infections.   My first seven children all had tubes put into their ears, and were always sick with something.   Dr. Lofton has adjusted my last four children since birth , and none of them have had tubes put in or ear infections.   Now we rarely go the pediatric doctor or any medical doctor for that matter...if my children go without being adjusted they ask me to go because they can feel the difference in their quality of life. It has most defiantly improved everyone’s overall health and we plan to continue to be adjusted our whole lives.   Thank you Dr. Lofton and LifeForce Family Chiropractic!
 
LFFC Comments:
We celebrate and honor the Abbott family for the month of January due to their commitment and big idea that getting adjusted and living the principled wellness lifestyle allows the body to heal more efficiently. This family has not only been coming for 7 years and living out this lifestyle, but telling everyone they come in contact with about LifeForce Family Chiropractic. This family has had their ups and downs as we all have in life, however, even with job layoffs, being unemployed for a very long time, and having to take a significant pay cut due to a change in employment, not to mention that they live within miles to the border of Wisconsin, and travel a good distance every week to be adjusted, this family continues to see the value in living this principled lifestyle and has never made up excuses that they couldn't afford or find a way to eat healthy, take nutritional supplements, and be adjusted neurologically ; that is living by the principle and for that we are blessed to serve them...

Testimony of Victory: Rachel Mramor

I have had back problems and pre-cancer for about 9 years . The back problems started    with a work injury technician for 10 years at a hospital and then before that a medical assistant in clinics. This type of work was very hard on the back and very stressful. The constant physical strain and emotional strain obviously took its toll on me in more ways than one. I have always thought I was eating healthy and exercising appropriately. However, I wasn’t losing weight or gaining muscle. My hormones were off and so I went on hormones. It helped a little but not enough to get my numbers range. The extra weight and being hormonal did not help with my back or my stress level. Through the 9 years of back problems there would be times I couldn’t walk unassisted or bend down to tie my own shoes. More regularly it was hard to do laundry, clean my house, bend over the sink to wash my face, and sit at a computer. I was diagnosed with cancer in March. How could I deal with all of this at once? Well, I stared going to Dr. Lofton and shortly after that he put me on a very strict diet for maximum nutrition, nutrition supplements, and exercise. It was quite the adjustment for my family and me. It was very stressful, because I was already eating pretty healthy compared to most. However, I pushed on and my husband joined me in some of what I ate. Within 3 months I have lost 30 pounds and another 5 pounds since then. My husband has lost about 20 pounds too. The last most important thing I am doing on my journey is praying everyday to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! He is the healer and if you believe Him for it, He will heal you! I couldn’t drive down to Savage week after week, eat the way I do, exercise, and choke down all the pills without God’s strength. If I could tell you all one thing I’ve learned in my journey is, believe God will heal you. Get the help you need and change before you have to.
 
I am glad to report that God is healing my back and the cancer. My back is doing better than ever. I still have occasional aches and pains if I do too much or get stressed out but it’s so much better! Last but not least, the cancer is reversing without any conventional treatment. Praise God! My oncologist is in shock, but has been praying for me too! I am excited for what God has next for me! One more thing, along with the back pain and cancer I suffer with allergies and migraines. I used to take ibuprofen, uicordin, Tylenol, and Zyrtec. I have been off all medications for 9 months.     
 
LFFC Comments:
We are extremely honored to celebrate Rachel as our Practice Member of the Month for Dec. 2012! There is no one that Dr. Lofton has met to date that has been more diligent, dedicated, determined, and faithful to his recommendations. Rachel was not only struggling with life, but faced with a huge decision: Have a hysterectomy as recommended via her oncologist or follow the principled wellness lifestyle that Dr. Lofton designed for her...It was an easy decision even with Stage 3 Uterine Cancer, why? Because she and her husband wanted to have kids! Rachel lived a lifestyle that less than 1% of the population will attempt to live, but she has been successful so far, as her oncologist informed her 3 months after starting on this wellness journey and being adjusted neurologically, that she no longer has cancer, but rather hyperplasia. Not out of the woods yet, but it sure feels good to start to see the light! Principled lifestyle and God being the center is AMAZING!!!

Testimony of Victory: Laugen Family

I (Kris) became a client of LifeForce Family Chiropractic (LFFC) in December of 2011 at the recommendation of a family friend, Stacey Roberts. Stacey was aware of some health issues I was having and was sure that Dr. Lofton could help me!  Stacey was so happy with the care she and her family were receiving at LFFC that she even helped me figure out the transportation. Transportation is an issue when you live in Iowa, and our drive is 4 hours round trip!  I had been recently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. I was told by several medical doctors that my only choice was to have Surgery to remove my thyroid . I refused their recommendations.  With hesitation I agreed to the Endocrinologist's second request of taking medication (Methimazole). In the past nine months of receiving care at LFFC I have been able to steadily decrease the amount I was advised to take. I have continued to have regular rechecks (every three months) with my Endocrinologist. After my last recheck (August 2012) the doctor called me to tell me I no longer have hyperthyroidism. Praise God! Neurologically based adjustments have allowed anxiety, pain, and many other symptoms (sickness) to leave my body.  Another diagnoses I have received in the past was severe disc degeneration of my spine.  I have felt progress with this condition also.   After seeing the results I had over a six month period, my husband Nate, finally accepted my prodding to get checked out.  He was astounded by the thorough examination he received and by the doctor's report. He had just accepted that his aches and pains were just part of life. Now after several months of his own care, he sees the benefit for our children to also receive the care that LFFC provides. The finances of traveling and paying for our family of six was a definite concern in our decision to be seen at LFFC.  However, when we voiced these concerns with LFFC they assured us that the care our family required would be made affordable. Dr. Lofton and his staff are welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere of the office is uplifting and encouraging!

Kris and Laugen Family

LFFC Comments:
We @ Lifeforce Family Chiropractic (LFFC) are so amazed and honored that God would motivate a family like this to travel as far as they do, and pay for all of their care out of pocket; that is value. It is an honor for Dr. Lofton to be the Laugen's family Chiropractor! “I am amazed how numerous Medical Doctors recommended for Kris to not only be on toxic medications (masking the symptoms, not getting to the cause), but to have her thyroid surgically removed, and now she currently lives with her thyroid, and is off all the medications! Praise be to God!” The principles Dr. Lofton teaches are principles that we believe will lead people to the promise land of health and healing. Kris and her husband understand these principles so much that they now are requiring that all of their children be tested for subluxation and nerve interference, to assure their bodies will always be healing more efficiently.
 
We bless this family with love and health, and hope that they will implement these principles for the rest of their life!

Since our family has become a client of Life Force Family Chiropractic we have all had noticeable changes within our bodies and our lives. My wife Judy and I have noticed a difference in our daughter Lexxi as our relationship has gotten better and we are all not on edge as much! Lexxi also had been taking medication for a couple different health reasons and since we have started visiting your office she has stopped taking all medications as well!! Lexxi has also changed her opinion about taking any kind of medication. At Lexxi’s first visit Dr Lofton pointed out to us that Lexxi was borderline scoliosis. When she had her re-check exam with 1 year of treatments, education and other work she has shown significant progress with this potential problem. Our daughter Mercedes was also diagnosed with the beginning stages of scoliosis. With 1 year of treatment, education and other work she too has shown signs of improvement and our relationship with her has also improved! My wife Judy had been involved in 2 car accidents that cause severe neck problems that caused severe headaches. There were also signs of scoliosis in Judy’s back and she also had not much curve in her neck. With 1 year of treatments and other work the headaches are much better and the scoliosis has improved! My relationship with Judy is probably the best that it has been in years! ƒº Prior to my first visit with Dr. Lofton I, like many, people had reservations about the technique. After my first visit Dr Lofton educated me about the curve in my spine and what we needed to do to get on the path for correcting the problem. After 1 year of visits my curve and neck have gotten much better. I have had asthma since birth and have taken medication to control it. With the treatments and Dr. Lofton’s guidance and education I have eliminated taking any medication for the asthma!! I feel so much better today as I have changed my life and take NO medications unless there is a fire to be put out. With Dr. Lofton’s education I see no that any medication is just masking the problem and doing terrible things to my body. Our family looks forward to a continuing relationship with Life Force Chiropractic.

Testimony of Victory: Roberts Family

We are a family of five from Northern Iowa, and we travel about 4 hours round trip to receive life changing results at Lifeforce Family Chiropractic (LFFC).  
 
We first started coming for our daughter Mariah who suffered with dyslexia and had lots of trouble with concentrating and focusing on her schoolwork.  This kept getting worse and her schoolwork would regularly take her from morning til late evening even with my constant help and attention.  Upon her Day 1 testing @ LFFC, we were told she had a 10* scoliosis in her spine.  She also had a severe reversal of her curvature in her neck (-19*) causing pressure on her brainstem.  Within a few visits we started seeing tremendous results.  She could focus, no longer needed audio CD's to help with her reading, and became more independent with her schoolwork.  I can not express how thankful we are for the change in Mariah.  We have been looking for an answer for her since she started school and she is now almost 15.  Along with this change Mariah has been relieved of Dyslexia symptoms, back pain, headaches, uncoordination, heartburn and allergy symptoms all of which she suffered almost on a daily basis. 
 
Our younger daughter Morgan suffered from allergies that caused her to scratch the palms of her hands and bottoms of her feet so much that she developed calluses where she scratched.  She also had a constant cough and chronic sinus issues that have almost completely subsided. In addition she is receiving relief from almost constant jaw pain. 
 
Our son Zachary was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease (ringing in the ears) at the age of 6.  Along with this he would have such severe dizziness he would have to go to bed.  This had become almost a daily occurrence.  He has been completely healed of this!!  He also suffered from severe headaches and lots of leg, knee, ankle and  low back pain that would keep him from participating in activities. We had to put him in physical therapy and buy ankle braces, which were difficult to put on, to try to help with this.  It is very frustrating to see your child hurt so much, but all of these symptoms are now virtually non-existent because of the treatments and healing he has received.
 
I (Stacey) have also received much healing.  The main reason I started receiving treatment was for migraine headaches.  They were quickly getting more frequent, sometimes as many as two a week.   I was taking an overwhelming amount of over-the-counter pain-killers and sometime prescription painkillers.    Many times the drugs would not help and I would have to repeat the dosage sometimes three days in a row.  I am now free from migraines and almost never get a headache, and if I do it is mild and goes away with no medication.  PRAISE GOD!  I also suffered with almost constant pain and pressure in my neck, shoulders, and upper back.  I am completely free from this.  I am seeing improvement in jaw and joint pain as well.
 
My husband TJ was suffering from frequent headaches, neck pain, hand pain, and arm numbness. All of his symptoms have improved significantly and some have disappeared completely.
 
We are so thankful that God led us to LFFC.  Dr. Lofton has been a huge blessing to our family. 
 
LFFC Comments:
We are honored to serve this family from so far away, and thankful that God is using us to administer HEALING in areas of their life where healing never existed; thank you God!
 
We want to let you know that this family was and is extremely dedicated to their health and well being as they not only drove 4 hours round trip 3x, 2x, and now 1x per week, but they also paid out of pocket for all of their corrective care due to insurance denying the need for there care (Wow, go figure...).
 
We bless the family from Iowa for their dedication to getting healthy, but most of all for their Zeal for the almighty Healer in all of our lives.

Testimony of Victory: Julene Timm

I heard about Torque Release Therapy through a friend whose family members were being treated and greatly helped by the therapy. The coupon for an evaluation got me in the door. The results I have had, even from the beginning, have kept me coming back. I had fallen and hurt my upper arm. It seemed like I was falling often and the tests confirmed that there was a lot going on in my back that was probably causing the imbalance and weakness and possibly the falling.
 
I had been seeing conventional chiropractors for 24 years. They told me I had double scoliosis and there was nothing I could do about it, except have regular adjustments to keep it from getting worse. One of the falls had produced daily pain and cramping in my hip for six years. I was told I would have to get used to it and nothing could be done. Making the best of the situation seemed to be my only hope… which really created a deep sadness in me. Not to be able to ride a bike or exercise without pain was bad enough, but I couldn’t even do vacuuming without cramping and spasms that would send me to the heating pad or chiropractor for relief. It was like I had an internal megaphone in my head telling me to “be careful, BE CAREFUL!!!” I began to feel like a martyr, enduring suffering, being left out of activities and left behind in life.
 
After 1 year of corrective care and 1 year of wellness care, I look back at the changes in my life with a complete sense of awe. I can do many physical things that were impossible for me to do without pain or spasms in my back muscles. I am moving normally without having to think about every step!
 
One of the major components in my recovery, I believe, is prayer. Dr Lofton will pray for me at adjustment times and I have a 150 mile round-trip drive from Wisconsin to the office that gives me plenty of time to listen to God and hear what he has to say about my health. I have been listening to teaching CDs by Marjorie Cole, Bill Johnson and Graham Cooke that have affirmed the heart of God for our healing and wholeness. Connecting with God spiritually allows the torque-release to connect with God’s will for me physically. My body wants to be healed and balanced so I can serve the living God without restraint. Renewing my mind in the Word of God gives my body permission to heal and be strong in the power of His might.
 
I have great hope of continued recovery. The sadness and “BE CAREFUL!” are gone. Yippee!!!
 
AND, the x-ray taken at the end of the 1 st year shows that there is great improvement. Two of the curves in my back are very close to being within the normal range! The impossible that was predicted by the other chiropractors has been made possible by God and torque-release therapy. In Matthew 19:26 Jesus said it best, “with man it is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.” It is God who works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. I know He is smiling. Wow!

Testimony of Victory: Pete and Jillian Klingenberg

I have had several improvements in my health & well-being.  The most recent one was my ability to go off a medication that I have been taking for a year and a half.  This medication has been a migraine saver for me for a long time.  If I would miss even one day of this med, within 12 hours I would be suffering with a migraine.  Several times I wound up in the hospital when I didn’t take this medication.  I was very dependent on it working and fearful of discontinuing it.
 
After all of the other wonderful changes my body has experienced over the past five months, I know I had a good shot at getting rid of this drug.  I went off of it on a Thursday and was migraine free for four days!  I did experience migraine pain on the next Monday, but it was short lived and again I am migraine free.  God is our healer.  I thought I would be dependent on that drug for the rest of my life.  But it feels so good to be free!

 Update….. June 2012
OMGosh!  My life has been incredibly altered by the healing practice of LifeForce Family chiropractic.
 
When I started at the clinic, I was taking blood pressure medication daily to control my migraines in addition to another migraine medication.  There were times when I’d have two migraines a day and often would be admitted to the hospital.  The medication seemed to help for several months by limiting the number I would have.  But gradually it became less effective for me and I was back to having several migraines a month.  My blood pressure was also so low, from taking the medication, that I was constantly fatigued and unable to keep up with daily tasks.  I was told I would be on this medication for life because the doctors couldn’t figure out another way to treat them.
 
THEN walked in Doctor Lofton.  (Okay, well I walked into his office!)
 
After just a few weeks of adjustments, I noticed an incredible upswing in my energy level.  I tried a few times during the first few months to stop taking both my medications for my migraines.  I was successful for short periods of time but then would need to take it again.  But after several months of seeing Dr. Lofton, I completely stopped taking it!  There have been just a handful of times when I’ve had to take one of my migraine meds, but I am no longer in need of the daily medication that was having adverse side effects.
 
Another wonderful aspect of this chiropractic clinic is the education that Dr. Lofton fills your head with.  Not only has my nervous system benefited from the adjustments, but my whole body has benefited.  I am exercising regularly and I am conscious, like never before, when it comes to my nutrition.
 
My husband and I are so blessed every time we walk in the doors here.  The front office staff is always excited to see us and makes it easy to change an appointment or get our billing statements.  We enjoy being in a positive and encouraging atmosphere so much so that for the past 18 months we’ve been making the hour long journey at 5:45 in the morning once a week to be able to fit this life altering/life sustaining practice into our schedules.  Even the car rides together have bonded us as a couple!  BONUS!  It is SO worth it to us to invest our time and money into this healthy practice.  We eagerly await the day when LFFC will expand into the north metro.  Until then, we will continue to drive to Savage.  We are very blessed to be clients of such a powerfully healthy advocate like Dr. Lofton and LFFC.
 
LifeForce Family Chiropractic has helped me heal more than I would have thought possible a few months ago.  To make a long story short, I was in severe leg and back pain a few months ago from a nerve being pinched in by back caused by a piece of broken-off tissue, and after 2 emergency room visits and a stay in the hospital, taking pain killers and a shot in the back, I decided to come here instead of surgery.
 
The funny thing is my wife has been telling me to come here for over a year for preventative maintenance and spiritual healing.  Well, she was right.  No pain pills now and I’m getting in better and better shape every day.
 
I look back now and if I would have taken my wife’s lead!  All the money and frustration could have been avoided!
 
Where else can you get two things done at once - -healing of the body and someone praying for you, lifting your spirits.

 Update…..6/19/2012
Since I first came to LifeForce Family Chiropractic my health and well-being has changed immensely.  I have been able to work out like I have never before doing P90X for a year and have lost 30 lbs.  Even though I turn 50 years old in July, I feel better than I did 15 years ago!
 
LFFC Comments:
We @ LFFC are blessed to serve a family that not only gets the big idea about  principled  based chiropractic, but that truly loves the  Lord and is led  by the spirit in everyday life.  “I, Dr. Lofton , love these  people so much and pray for  blessings in  every aspect  to overwhelm  this family.”   They are Godly people with an abundance of love in their hearts.  We hope to serve them until the day they leave for heaven.

In January 2012, we became aware of LifeForce Family Chiropractic (LFFC) due to my chronic back, neck and muscle pain, which I had been struggling with for the past 3+ years, along with anxiety.    After LFFC's assessment, coupled with my existing condition, we felt lead to try Dr. Lofton’s corrective care plan for me.   After my first adjustment based on the torque release technique my muscle pain was completely gone.   I was amazed!   As the next weeks unfolded, my husband mentioned several times I was looking healthier.
 
Five weeks into my treatment, I woke up hardly able to move because of such severe lower back pain, in fact, I couldn't even get on the table to get adjusted.   Dr. Lofton and staff encouraged me to let my body heal and process the adjustments and not take pain medication.   I felt God was asking me to trust their wisdom.   To my amazement, one week later after 4 adjustments the pain was totally gone and I had made it through with no Advil, etc.
 
As of today, my neck and back pain, as well as my anxiety have significantly diminished.   I have been receiving care for 4 months.   I am so thankful for the healing God is doing in my body.   Dr. Lofton does his job with excellence.   My experience with the LifeForce staff has been beneficial and life changing.   The staff at LifeForce truly demonstrates a servant-heart and those that walk through their doors are blessed.   I am thankful to God for how He has been using this group of people to bring healing.   To God be the glory, great things He has done!
 
LFFC Comments:
Inez has had dramatic change that one would not believe you if you told her testimony of healing. Dr. Lofton still remembers her husband and her asking him at the doctor's report why no other doctor had told them about nerve interference and the health of the nervous system along with looking at the spine and diagnosing subluxation as a cause of dis-ease in the body. Her husband even said that they had been to Mayo Clinic and no one had been able to help with her current condition. Dr. Lofton also remembers clearly how much his faith went through the roof when Inez told him that all of her symptoms were gone after 1 visit @ LFFC. He thought to himself that there is no way that this could have just happened, but as time progressed it became very clear that she was healing abundantly fast and that we were the first facility that had gotten to the cause of her problems.
 
We are so proud that not only is Inez and her husband Dan getting their power turned on with neurological based care, but they now are bringing their 4 children in for corrective care. We also want to thank Inez for spreading the message as she has referred numerous families into LFFC in a very short period of time, and has proven to us that her and Dan get the BIG IDEA and want to share the message with so many others...It is a pleasure to recognize her for May's 2012 Practice Member of the Month.

Testimony of Victory: Glenn Norman

I met the doctors at a community health screening. However, when I came to get my initial follow-up consult, I was skeptical, got cold feet and wanted to bail. In fact, I told Dr. Lofton that this wasn't for me and I thought my wife needed help more than I did in regards to my health.
 
However, I decided to try it and the reason I have continued coming since July 2005, is that I have had results that I have been able to quantify. I have consistently noticed reduced symptoms related to spring allergies and have been able to reduce and practically eliminate all medications for these symptoms. I also initially came in for back pain, which I have been greatly helped with and it has been eliminated 100% . I have also seen huge improvements in my posture and arches of my feet. These treatments allowed me to eliminate using a lift in my shoe. It’s always nice to know you are making a difference in the world, which is what LFFC is doing.
 
LFFC Comments:
Dr. Lofton states that he still remembers the 1 st day Glenn walked through the door and how nervous his wife was when she came to the back room and said: there is a man here who was filling out the new patient paperwork, but has insisted that this whole visit is not for him and he shouldn't be here, “he wants to leave”, what should I do? Dr. Lofton chuckles looking back as who would have thought that the only person who does such a thing in the entire existence of the practice still comes almost 7 years later. Yes, Glenn has come for 7 years to receive corrective and now wellness based care. It is an honor to give the April 2012 Practice Member of the Month award to someone who truly gets the BIG IDEA that a body free of subluxation and nerve interference is a body that truly lasts longer.

Testimony of Victory: Melissa O'Neil and Family

Our family began coming to LifeForce Family Chiropractic (LFFC) over 6 years ago when I was injured in a fall.  I remembered receiving a door hanger about a new chiropractic office opening nearby and decided that I should check into it.
 
After beginning treatment with Dr. Wade and receiving invaluable education about the importance of neurology based chiropractic care, we decided the rest of the family should begin treatment as well.
 
We have seen vast improvements in many areas of our health.  As a child, I learned that I had two vertebrae in my neck that had been fused together since birth, so I had resigned myself to a life of headaches; but I’ve found relief and correction through LFFC.  Steve had been dealing with asthma for years, and was highly allergic to cats and even had been hospitalized for his allergies; since being adjusted regularly, he hasn’t had to use (or even carry) an inhaler, and has never been back to the ER or doctor for asthma and allergy type symptoms. Steve has improved so much that he is able to be around cats for a good portion of the day before he starts to feel symptoms, so his body is definitely healing. Our girls have also had relief and correction in areas of seasonal allergies, behavior, & constipation.
 
Growing up, I’d been treated by other chiropractors, and they all ended treatment when my symptoms improved.  I NEVER had any relief from my headaches and I NEVER received any education about how to prevent disease in my body.  Not only am I incredibly thankful to Dr. Wade & his staff for correcting the nerve interference that was causing my headaches, but I also have a new understanding of how to prevent disease by getting adjusted and taking proper care of my body.
 
After seeing the effects of neurology based chiropractic treatment I can confidently say that I will continue to receive treatment indefinitely. . . I’m a lifer!
 
LFFC Comments:
We are so honored to continue to serve this family as we have been serving them with Health and Wellness based care since 2005. Dr. Lofton still remembers the first day that Melissa came in for her new patient testing and she said that her husband gave her permission to come and get her Headaches fixed and she was so blessed that we left a door hanger on her door or she may have never met us…Dr. Lofton also remembers hearing that her husband was rushed to the ER via ambulance for an asthmatic and allergic reaction; Dr. Lofton insisted that he get checked for nerve interference and he was extremely confident that he could help Steve to express a better state of well being; obviously that has happened, Praise the Lord!
 
We thank this family for their dedication to their health over the past 6 ½ years and all of their referrals from the bus station, ha, ha…(inside joke). They currently are the longest family that has been coming to LFFC since we opened in July of 2005. We look forward to growing old with them, and serving this family for the rest of their life.

Testimony of Victory: Laura Lucas and Family

I started coming to LifeForce Family Chiropractic (LFFC) in the spring of 2010, after seeing the amazing results in my husband and 2 children. My husband has had terrible back pain to the point where he couldn’t walk, stand, or hold our daughter for 3 years, even after having back surgery.
 
Allison, my oldest daughter had Headaches everyday and my son Samuel also had Headaches along with bedwetting at 8 years of age. All of these symptoms not only improved immensely, but were eliminated 100%. After seeing all of this after years of them struggling to get help I knew right away that the rest of my family and I were going to start corrective care and have all of our family members checked for subluxation; so we all jumped on board!
 
The real miracle for us as a family was when Dr. Lofton diagnosed McKayla with a broken back, even after our other Doctor and Chiropractor didn’t catch it during previous care, Praise God for Dr. Lofton! Dr. Lofton told us that she would no longer be able to compete in gymnastics, so we went to Tria Orthopedics and met with the best Orthopedic Surgeon they had, thinking we needed a second opinion, or hoping that Dr. Lofton was wrong; not so much, he was right on, and the Surgeon agreed with Dr. Lofton (I could have saved a lot of money, but thanks to Dr. Lofton for catching the break on x-ray).
 
The other miracle for me happened after my 6 th visit! I had always had knee pain, due to all of the years of running and competing in marathons, but of course after a series of adjustments it was completely gone and has never come back, even with 5 marathons and still going! Praise the Lord! We are all through with corrective care and on to wellness care and it has been HUGE! We haven’t gone to a Medical Doctor for any sickness since starting care at LFFC.
 
As for referrals; testimonies are the biggest proof of the treatment here at LFFC. You will not see any treatment like this anywhere else. Things that we love and enjoy are Dr. Lofton’s knowledge, the technique, results, and of course the fact that all of this is bathed in the presences of the Holy Spirit and how the Lord uses all these tools in order to put everything in alignment in regards to how we are made and suppose to heal. All glory to Jesus!
 
Thanks to LifeForce Family Chiropractic for all the precious time and pairs of hands that make this operation a success!
 
LFFC Comments:
We are glad to honor Laura and her family as Practice Member of the Month for February 2012. They have been a blessing to all of the staff here at LFFC, not only in the office, but also out of the office. We love it when they come in for their wellness care adjustments due to the high energy and compassion for people/Christ that they bring. We are glad that God has brought them into our lives. As many of you know it is our goal to impact the planet with the principles we teach, and Laura has helped us to save lives immensely through 14 direct referrals, which have turned into a whole tree of referrals from those 14 individuals, so we say thank her and the family for helping us to help serve others!

Testimony of Victory: Sharon R.

Last September our family attended the LifeLight concert in South Dakota. As we were walking through one of the vendor buildings, I noticed the LifeForce booth & a lady handing out brochures & offering to do testing. Not having any interest in checking the booth out and not wanting to get separated from the group of people I was with, I hurriedly passed by. I only got a few feet past the LFFC booth when I felt like the Holy Spirit was telling me to go back and talk to the gal who as sharing the information.
 
Pamm shared with me about LFFC & how it differs from other chiropractic clinics. I had been going quite regularly to a chiropractor & I would get some temporary relief. Brandon tested me & I knew by looking at the scan that it was showing exactly where my issues were. After visiting with both Pamm & Brandon & then meeting Dr. Lofton I started to feel hope that I might not have to suffer for the rest of my life with the extreme pain & physical deterioration I'd been experiencing over the past several years. I was excited to make an appointment, but the idea of driving from our home in IOWA up to Savage, MN for treatments SEEMED ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE with my husband's work schedule & the fact that I was unable to drive the car more than a few miles due to severe pain in my leg. We decided to go ahead & make the appointment anyway & just see what the possibilities were.
 
I had my first adjustment, Dr. Lofton prayed for me & I knew that I was where I needed to be. I had been praying for years for a spirit-filled Christian doctor, and on our first visit, we knew we had an answer to our prayers, but we had no idea how much Dr. Lofton and God, working hand in hand were about to transform our lives.
 
On the way up to LifeForce I had to get out of the car twice, with the help of my husband, to relieve the pain. After my very first adjustment I was able to ride all the way home, nearly pain free, and get out of the car without help. What joy to have such relief! Last week I actually ran with my granddaughters to the car!
 
After my 2nd visit, the migraines stopped & I was able to quit purchasing nine pills for $263.00. I was also able to quit taking prescriptions for muscle relaxers, pain killers, sleep issues, etc. Within a couple of weeks I began sleeping through the night & awoke feeling rested; I hadn't slept well for years.
 
As I continue to be adjusted I feel healing taking place throughout my entire body. Even the need for over-the-counter drugs is gone!
 
Since my first visit I've encouraged family & friends to be tested. There are now 14 of us traveling up to LFFC & more are making plans to be tested. My husband, Steve, has had relief in his back, neck & shoulders. He used to have problems with his arms getting numb but that is gone too.
 
Our granddaughter, Kaytlin, had been thrown from a horse a couple of years ago & has had a lot of shoulder pain since, & she also suffered with severe Restless Leg Syndrome & sleeplessness. The RLS & sleeplessness are better & the shoulder pain is continuing to improve. The process has been slower for her but she is encouraged by the changes.
 
Our granddaughter, Mariah, has had problems with what we assumed to be A.D.D. & issues with focus. They had been noticeably worsening lately. She would lose focus in the middle of a sentence and seem to just zone out for a few seconds. Her schoolwork would take her many, many hours due to the focus issues.
 
Dr. Lofton found severe problems with her neck & back. None of us had any clue that she had spinal issues. He showed us her x-rays pointing out how her brain stem was actually being pinched. Mariah is home schooled & her mom was amazed after Mariah's first adjustment! Not once since that first adjustment has Mariah had a time of zoning out! She is flying through her schoolwork & just got all A's on her report card. Before her treatments she was listening to audio recordings along with reading her assignments to help her with focus. After her first couple of adjustments she discontinued the use of the audio recordings. She is able to focus just fine!
 
For us it is a wondrous miracle to see this beautiful young lady set free from the struggles she has had in the past. She is so filled with joy! She loves to spread the word about Dr. Lofton & what he and God have done for her. She even shared her testimony with her pediatrian, who was also excited to see the changes in Mariah. My son and family, Mariah's parents, sister and brother are just getting started at LifeForce. My brother and niece will also begin treatments soon.
 
Our son-in-law, Gerry was taking hands-full of ibuprofen every day for pain relief and migraine headaches that he had every day for 26 years. He had fallen from a lift years ago & broken his leg & severely damaged his body. He has stopped the ibuprofen & is seeing continued improvement in his body. He drives up at night, after work, to be treated. My daughter & grandson will also begin treatments af LFFC this week.
 
We give thanks daily to God, who has created our amazing bodies to heal themselves. We are so grateful that he led us to Dr. Lofton, Brandon and all of the wonderful team at LFFC. They generously give of themselves to obey God's call to help in that healing process and to give Him the glory.

Testimony of Victory: Lisa L.

All my life I remember being chronically sick, but all sickness and disease escalated during the birth of our awesome son Mathew; during the procedure I had to have a blood transfusion and emergency surgery, and as a result my life has never been the same.
 
I started suffering from EXCRUCIATING migraine headaches that took over my life, didn’t even want to live, was barely hanging on…also I lost feeling in my face, numbness in my arms, legs, head, and paralysis on the left side of my body. I was suffering from anxiety, depression, fibromyalgia, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal imbalance; testosterone was ZERO!
 
I have been to so many doctors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, Chinese medicine doctors, and chiropractors that exhausted me physically, emotionally, and financially without any results!
 
Then I came to LifeForce Family Chiropractic (LFFC), which was totally divine based upon Dr. Lofton randomly calling me and not even knowing me. I love the optimism and life they breathe into me every time along with the passion to heal and help everyone on the planet. I love the fact that they speak blessings and healing over me, even on days when I am discouraged. Dr. Lofton seems to just always know where to adjust me and how to pray for me…how incredible it is to have a gifted doctor who will go the distance to get to the cause and pray with you; what an absolute blessing!
 
Almost immediately after my 1 st adjustment I slept through the night, which I had not done in over 8 years, it was amazing! The migraine headaches were reduced to 3 per week instead of 7 in the first 3 weeks of corrective care, this was truly amazing for me!!! In the first month or two the neck pain, mid back pain, low back pain, and right shoulder pain was drastically improved; along with 100% healing in the sciatic nerve pain down the back of my right leg! I also noticed a 75% improvement in tinnitus within my ears in the first couple months and my menstrual cycle went from being chronic for 9 days to decreasing in intensity and only lasting 5 days. I also was able to stop taking Valium and was able to reduce two other medications, while seeing my testosterone levels go up for the first time since being diagnosed with hormonal imbalance.
 
My emotions have improved drastically, and I am so thankful for the care at LFFC. I still have days that are hard and I struggle to make it through it, but it feels so good when I come to LFFC and I am encouraged to continue to battle and know that my body is on the path of healing. I have never been to a facility like this or had a doctor that cares this way for my health and me as a person; I am so blessed to have found LFFC! In fact, I tell everyone about this place, to the point that I told Dr. Lofton it is my goal to refer in 500 new patients; man do I have my work cut out, no one believes that healing is possible! I encourage you to tell everyone and bring your whole family; it will pay huge dividends in the future.
 
Lisa has referred in 7 direct referrals, which have turned into a tree of 15 referrals from those 7, totaling 22 lives that have been impacted here at LFFC, and many more to come in the future. We love her and her amazing cooking, and can only pray that someday her husband will take the time to come, ha, ha, (lol) we love him too, just giving him a hard time, darn stubborn husbands, just kidding Daryl…We are blessed to serve this family and honor Lisa as the Practice Member of the Month for Dec. 2011.
 
God Bless U Lisa!

Testimony of Victory: Kerri F.

My Experience with LifeForce Family Chiropractic (LFFC) has been Extraordinary! I used to suffer from several health complaints. I thought a lot of them were due to my age and something you just had to live with as you get older; was I wrong.
 
I was diagnosed with severe allergies, and have had symptoms 365 days per year for the last 32 years; to the point that it was debilitating and I was always miserable. I would sneeze, cough, and be congested in my sinuses so bad that it would wake me up at night. The disorder became so bad that I was diagnosed with nasal polyps and lost all my taste and smell 6-7 years ago. This really ticked me off because I love horses and there is nothing like the smell of the BARN (ha, ha), while doing chores, and me not being able to smell was no fun!
 
Due to me being a horse rider and barn manager I suffered from low back pain, leg pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, and headaches. I am proud to say that those things are 100% gone, and some of those symptoms were gone in my first month of care at LFFC. I am amazed how good I feel and how we are suppose to feel even when I thought it was normal for me to feel terrible and suffer everyday!
 
The miraculous thing for me was that I got my taste and smell back within two weeks of Dr. Lofton adjusting and praying for me. I hardly ever have any issues with my sinuses, allergies, congestion, etc. and the best thing is that I can sleep through the night. Also I was able to stop taking Zyrtec, which I was taking for 3 years and now I am DONE! For the first time in 6 years I can smell and taste, and it felt so good the first time I was able to smell pickles and the BARN again!
 
My favorite thing about LFFC is the staff; I love them all! Another favorite is their concern for my overall Health and Spiritual wellness. It feels so good to go to a place that I truly know cares about me! I recommend LFFC to anyone and everyone, in fact, I love LFFC so much that I referred 7 direct new patients in less than 2 months and many of them referred their family and friends. Come!! I tell everyone to come, and watch what God does in regards to healing. My husband, daughter, and son also come for optimal health and we are so grateful for this place of knowledge and love; God's healing truly exists here, ask me!
