Inez Eikom Testimony of Victory
 
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.  We had gone to several doctors, including 6 months of physical therapy, and Mayo Clinic, but my situation didn’t seem to be resolved.  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!
 
Comments Per LFFC:
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.

Glenn Norman: Testimony of Victory

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.

 

comments per LFFC:

Dr. Lofton states that he still remembers the 1st 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.

Melissa O’Neil and Families: Testimony of Victory

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!

 

Comments per LFFC:

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.

 Laura Lucas and Family: Testimony of Victory

 

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 6th 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!

 

Comments per LFFC:

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!

Sharon Roberts and Family: Testimony of Victory

 

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.

Lisa Larson: Testimony of Victory

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 1st 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!

Kerri Flanagan: Testimony of Victory

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!
