Kevin Thompson, Age 42, World Champion, Master [Martial Arts/Karate]

I first came to Dr. Ralph in November of 1991 at the insistence of my brother, whose whole family were patients, including his kids. I had hurt my back in a Karate tournament (I’m a professional Karate competitor and instructor) and nothing else was working for me. After 2 weeks of treatment, 3 times a week, Dr. Ralph made me a believer: in Chiropractic and in the magic of his hands. I still come in religiously with any problems – and in my business, things happen, OK? The Doc and I share a mutual love for the [martial] arts, and he always finds the way to make you very relaxed about being in his care.

Howie Lyne, 56, Retired Police Officer, Rockville, IN

I was referred to Dr. Ralph by a mutual friend.  I was suffering pain in my lower back.  I was diagnosed after an MRI with a herniated disc which was pressing on my sciatic nerve, causing excruciating pain in my left hip with each step I took.  The only position that was without pain was flat on my back.  Standing, sitting or walking all caused great pain.  I was almost totally immobile. Before I found Dr. Ralph, I went to the medical doctors at the Veteran’s Administration.  They recommended surgery on the ruptured disc, which couldn’t be scheduled before April of 2005.  Surgery and lots of drugs did not appeal to me.  I tried a local chiropractor instead, but his treatments gave only minimum relief.  So, in desperation, I took my friend’s advice and came to Dr. Ralph.

After only three adjustments by Dr. Ralph in October of 2004, the pain in my hip was greatly diminished, increasing my mobility and allowing me to stand, sit and walk without the agonizing pain previously described.  I am confident that under Dr. Ralph’s care the pain I suffer can be almost totally alleviated. I live in central Indiana and traveled 800 miles to be treated by Dr. Ralph.  The treatments I have received resulting in the reduction of my pain have been nothing short of miraculous.  P.S.:   Dr. Ralph has my phone number.  Anybody who wants to hear my story from the horse’s mouth can call me in Indiana.  I’ll be glad to tell them anything they want to know…

Brandon Glyck, 16, Student/Athlete, Montville, NJ

I was first brought to Dr. Ralph Lemongello, after experiencing some lower back pain during football season. I was referred by my father, who had nothing but good things to say about Dr. Ralph. I have been going to a chiropractor as long as I can remember, but Dr. Ralph was the first chiropractor to make a noticeable difference in my flexibility, which led to greater performance on the field. Dr. Ralph has helped me go from a JV football player to a Division I recruit. With my added mobility, I can now dominate on the field.

Stephen Settino, 43, Chiropractor, Tenerife, (Canary Islands) Spain

Dr. Ralph is what we in chiropractic call the Chiropractor’s Chiropractor. In other words, he is the cream of the crop. I have been a chiropractor for 15 years and for all those years I have been going to Dr. Ralph for my adjustments. For most of this time I was living in New York (about a 45 minute drive each way) and still went regularly to his office. Now I live and practice in Europe and make it a point to get to his office whenever I am back in the area. Often times I will go to see Dr. Ralph straight from the airport before I visit with family and friends. This is how important his adjustments are to me! The care I have received in his office has made an incredible difference in my life. I have been in some tough spots with my back and health and Dr. Ralph has always helped me.

Michael Petronaci, 38, Police Officer, Bloomfield, NJ
I had been in a car accident, which sent me to medical doctors and another chiropractor. The MD’s just prescribed pain killers and anti-inflammatories, which did nothing to fix my underlying problem. The other chiropractor treated me 2-3 times per week for 8 months. Honestly, I didn’t feel better there until I stopped. My job constantly re-aggravated my condition: at the time, I worked the police ambulance squad and constantly had to bend and buck (often heavy) patients in and out of the ambulance. Brutal.

I found Dr. Ralph in June of 2005 after a referral from a friend on the force who swore by him. By then, I was a mess: low back, mid back, upper back, shoulders, pain down my leg – you name it. Dr. Ralph did a very in-depth diagnostic on me, with X-rays, and I could tell instantly that his adjustments were for real and right on target. During a very intensive period on the job for me, Dr. Ralph kept me physically together and functioning.

Once I was finally able to shift to normal police duty, the long-term improvement from Dr. Ralph’s treatments started to take hold.  In 2009, I went over 10 months without pain and without needing treatment, thanks to Dr. Ralph’s unique approach. When I put my back out again in late 2009, he got me back on track in only 2 treatments! This latest run without a problem has been almost a year: finally a doctor who really wants to get and keep me well!

If you had told me back in 2005 that I would ever be pain free and functioning full out on the job for months at a time, I would have said you were nuts.  Dr. Ralph worked a miracle with me. Whenever I start to feel trouble now, I know exactly where to come.

Leah Jediny, 31, Artist, British Columbia, Canada

I have seen over 30 chiropractors over the years in every part of the country to try to help my back and neck problems, with varying results. All my medical doctors seemed to be able to recommend for me were drugs – drugs to kill the pain, drugs to relax the muscles, drugs to help me sleep… I really did not like the side effects. Then, a few years ago, my family found Dr. Ralph Lemongello.

Dr. Ralph has helped heal my whole spine. He has given me back my sleep and even helped to improve my attitude from his adjustments! My husband has a problem shoulder which goes out of alignment from time to time. Under Dr. Ralph’s hands, his shoulder instantly gets better: from behind, he goes from uneven-looking to normal. My mother, father, sister and brother all have benefited from Dr. Ralph’s ability to heal their different problems.

I no longer live here in New Jersey, but Dr. Ralph is almost always my first stop when I get off the plane here (literally, we came to his office straight from Newark airport today). If we moved back, it would be because of Dr. Ralph’s awesome adjustments. He is able to heal me in a way I just can’t seem to find elsewhere, no matter what state or country I live in – I am currently living in Canada.

Be lucky to live near Dr. Ralph!

Sarah Thiemann, 26, Emergency Room Technician, Bloomfield, NJ  11/3/04

I first came to Dr. Ralph after a neck injury while in High School gym class. I count not move my neck from side to side. Also, I have always had a sciatica issue. I tried prescription muscle relaxers, but they just weren’t helping. Then my cousin recommended Dr. Ralph.

Oh my God! I could move again!

Since then, I come in whenever my neck, back or sciatica bother me. No pills needed, and my general health is better because I have come to Dr. Ralph J

MY 29-YEAR JOURNEY

Where does one start? About three weeks ago Dr. Lemongello added to my treatment plan and I was almost positive that was the missing piece. Yesterday I had an adjustment and now I know my 29-year journey of pain, fear, hopes and disappointments is about to end. More than anything I can finally admit how bad it was without fear of people knowing.

I will start when I was 10 years old (1962) growing up on a farm in northern Iowa. I do not remember what I did, but that night I’ll never forget the pain when I tried to go to bed. The pain was excruciating, and I asked my dad what I should do because I saw him go through his back problems. He told me to sleep with a pillow under my knees. From that day forward I do not ever remember having a day where my back and right hip did not hurt.

Fast-forward to 1975, riding in a patrol car when my partner, who was driving, pulled in front of truck on a wet rainy afternoon. The truck slammed into my side of the patrol car. The next day when I got up was the beginning of a 29 year journey that has taken me to 41 Chiropractors in 8 states and an equal number and variety of medical doctors, a broken marriage, never ending pain, and a greater amount of fear.

I learned early on not to tell people how bad it was because they would just want to get as far away from me as possible.

Now it is November of 1979, and I was being treated at Gonstead Clinic in Mt. Horeb, WI, but I agreed to go through a battery of tests at University of Wisconsin Hospital to satisfy my wife. My condition had deteriorated to the point that I had to liquefy all my food in a food processor because I could not swallow without choking. I could not dress myself, so I put safety pins in socks, underwear, and pants; used a straightened out coat hanger to hook through the safety pins to pull up my clothes. The pain was so bad I could not drive more than several miles, or sit for more than a few minutes. The pain was so bad I could only walk one block at a time. The doctor and a social worker met with my wife to give her the bad news. She told them she could not take it anymore, they suggested putting me in a nursing home for physical therapy, and if that did not work, to live there. When they told me this I was stunned and shocked. I told them no way, I had faith in Dr. Gonstead and tried explaining to them my reasons and his new treatment plan. The medical doctor told my wife we perhaps should give it a try because he was not going to be able to help me. They offered to have her come there for counseling. She was furious.

A month later my wife left. I could not drive myself all the way to Gonstead Clinic from Madison, WI. I was out of options. I rented a room without cooking facilities from the x-ray technician at Gonstead Clinic, my brother sold me his old car, I had no car, and dropped me off at the room, which was three miles from Gonstead Clinic. Plus Dr. Gonstead had passed away. This was a really scary time; if Dr. Alex and Dr. Stoner could not heal me it was a nursing home, because everyone else had given up on me and I would not have any place to go if I could not care for myself.

The year before Dr. Gonstead passed he had formulated a new treatment plan for me. The other Chiropractors there told me it was different then anything they had seen before, thank God it worked. By late fall of 1980 I was able to work part time, and then back to college part time.

The problem in my right hip persisted however and finally in the fall of 1996 the ugly monster reappeared. I woke up in the middle of the night and with excruciating pain again. I found a Gonstead Doctor who got me well enough to work again, but the pain in my hip and back persisted.

Move on to the spring of 2003, another relapse. Now I was really in trouble, when I walked I couldn’t straighten out my right leg, I walked with a limp. I could not get up and down the steps without hanging onto something because of the pain in my knees. And I could barely walk to get from the airport to the parking lot because of the pain in my hip and back. (I run a car service) In fact one day a client asked me if I was okay because I was sweating so bad because of the pain. And, I could barely stand the pain in my right hip from pushing on the brake and gas pedal while driving my clients. Worse of all I had started a car service in New York to go with the car service I had in Los Angeles. I could barely stand the pain to fly back and forth, if it got any worse I would not be able to fly. Then what would I do? I could not grow either city until I figured out what to do with my back and hip, and I was running out of time and money because of the expansion, I was caught in the middle, I had to grow both cities or give one of them up.

Now it is 2004, enter Dr. Lemongello, my savior. Being a Gonstead Doctor he quickly adapted Dr. Gonstead’s treatment plan for me. But I knew there was something missing in that plan because I never completely recovered and kept having relapses and the relapses were getting worse. From my past experiences, I was reluctant to approach Dr. Lemongello with these facts for fear of being given up on. Then about two months ago Dr. Lemongello started mixing up Dr. Gonsead’s treatment plan and it really helped, I could tell right away that he was close. No other Chiropractor had completely put together when and how to switch up the adjustments.

Then about three weeks ago he added another piece of the puzzle to my treatment plan, a new piece S2. I just knew that was it, but I was reluctant to get too excited. After my treatment yesterday I knew that was it, all the pieces were in place. Discovering that last piece and Dr. Lemongello’s ability to know what to work on and when was the secret.

After 29 years, 41 Chiropractors, endless medical people, it is over. Now I can tell the truth, I do not have to worry anymore, it is over. The fear of being told "I am sorry, but I cannot help you." Now I can live my life without fear and realize my professional dreams.

You have given me a second chance on life; very few people are that lucky:

Thank You Dr. Lemongello!

TESTIMONIAL

Dolores Smyth, [age withheld by request], Banker, Glen Ridge, NJ 7/19/04

I first went to Dr. Ralph about 10 years ago when a very good friend of our family, saw that I could not move my neck and I was in excruciating pain. This had kept me out of work for approximately four days and was ready to go to the Mountainside Hospital when Jack suggested that I first see Dr. Ralph.

I had never been to a chiropractor before, but the pain killers I had tried were not helping, and I needed something dramatic.

When I walked into Dr. Ralph’s office, I could not move and I had tears in my eyes. In his usual kind manner, he said “come here dear, I am going to help you.” By my second visit the next day, I started to feel better and I could actually move my neck. It was amazing how I was better and able to go back to my regular activities in a matter of a few days and with no medication.

To this day, the moment I feel my neck a little sore, usually from stress, I call Dr. Ralph and he is always able to help me feel better, even if it means waiting for me to get there when I’m stuck in traffic from my long commute.

I would highly recommend Dr. Ralph Lemongello.

TESTIMONIAL

Orsolya Marlok, 31, Housewife & Mother, Pilisvorosvar, Hungary (formerly Clifton, NJ), August 30, 2006

I first met Dr. Ralph Lemongello in July of 2004. My husband and I had moved from Hungary to New Jersey a few years earlier following some construction projects and he had hurt his back. Well, we tried everything – doctors, medications, even another chiropractor – but nothing seemed to really help. Then we heard of Dr. Ralph from a doctor in Florida and tried him. In just a few visits, my husband was back to his old strength and activity. He also helped my mother with a pain in her wrist and hand during a visit.

I was pregnant at the time with my second child and was in terrible shape myself. My hips hurt, my low back constantly hurt (no position was comfortable, I couldn’t sleep) and I was getting terrible headaches. I couldn’t take painkillers and I don’t like such medicines anyway, so in desperation I asked if Dr. Ralph thought he could help me too. I was a little scared because we had nothing like chiropractic in Hungary when I was growing up. He told me about many of his female patients who counted on his help all through their pregnancies, and even the babies and children he had helped from early in their lives. So, I tried him. Oh my goodness, what a difference in my life: no headaches, pain relieved in my lower back for almost a week at a time (if you’ve ever been pregnant, you’ll know that a day can be a long time). I could sleep again… it was heaven! I continued treatments after my daughter was born whenever I felt the need and Dr. Ralph always helped me. He continued to treat my husband when he overdid things at work and even helped my two young children. I knew that the moment I walked through his door, I would leave feeling good and stronger – every time.

We moved back to Hungary last year. I was happy to see all my family and old friends again, but sad to be leaving Dr. Ralph. Little did I know how much I would miss him… For most of the last year, I have had back pain & discomfort. I tried all the best resources in Hungary, but nothing helped. We even tried a very expensive private clinic where the doctors had been trained in the U.S. in medicine and chiropractic: no good.

I was overjoyed to know that I needed to come back to New Jersey on some family business for 3 days. That meant that I could squeeze in three visits with Dr. Ralph! Just like before, he has made me feel complete and pain-free again! (By the way, my mother’s hand hasn’t hurt her in over 2 years since Dr. Ralph worked on her!) I’ll just have to make it until my next planned visit here in January. Now, if only I could figure out a way to sneak him over to Hungary…

TESTIMONIAL

Julissa Carranza, Age 39, Yoga Teacher/Clothing Designer October 17, 2008

For the past 4 years, I have been challenged by chronic right hip pain. About 6 months ago, I injured myself to the point that I couldn’t even reach my fingertips past my knees while reaching for the floor. I had done extensive physical therapy, acupuncture, rolfing, orthopedic doctors, and even another chiropractor, with temporary or no relief. I bumped into a friend & fellow yoga teacher who suggested that I see her chiropractor, Dr. Lemongello. After working with him steadily for the past 6 months, I now have more good days than not so good ones. Even if I have days with some discomfort, it is nowhere near the chronic constant pain I had before.

I sleep better now and actually have days with little or no pain. I also feel better informed about what to do if I do feel any discomfort. I feel that I am getting my life back. I am also more sensitive now to when a part of me is out of alignment.

TESTIMONIAL

Tom Fox, 51, Manufacturing, Budd Lake, NJ 8/2/04

I hurt my back playing football in High School back in the early 1970’s. I went to countless medical doctors over the years. They prescribed pain killers, which helped suppress the pain but did nothing to solve the problem. Things were getting desperate when finally, in 1984, I was told that I had to have back surgery.

I then bumped into Dr. Ralph Lemongello, DC, at Church. He listened carefully to my whole story and said, “I have helped many people with similar problems, why not try me first? If the chiropractic adjustments don’t help you, you can always go have surgery if needed.” What a lucky day! I had my first ever chiropractic adjustment with Dr. Ralph the day after we spoke 20 years ago, and never needed the surgery!

Looking back, it makes me angry that, for so many years my medical doctors had told me “the problem with your back cannot be solved by a chiropractor, don’t go to chiropractors.” In fact, the medical doctors did nothing for me and it was only once Dr. Ralph treated me that my back problems were resolved. My conclusion is that all those MD’s wanted was my money…

For the last 20 years, I have lived basically pain-free thanks to Dr. Ralph Lemongello. I have occasional episodes of back flare-ups, but usually from doing something stupid (for example, last week I had the bright idea of moving an 8-seat picnic table & benches by myself…). I just get myself back to Dr. Ralph, who always makes me right again.

TESTIMONIAL

Evelyn (& Fred) Brock, 60, Writers & Teachers, Montclair, NJ [now Kansas] 7/12/04

I first met Dr. Ralph over ten years ago when we moved into this area. I had first tried another chiropractor in the area, who was adequate but did not provide the significant relief I have found here in Dr. Ralph’s care.

Many years ago as a college student, I had to delay my senior year to have major back surgery – a spinal laminectomy (rebuilding the lumbar vertebrae) - because of a birth defect that had not shown up before that time. Over the years as we moved, I was introduced to chiropractors and tried many of them. All had slightly varying methods and widely varying degrees of success in helping me live a normal life, despite the discomfort and pain of flare-ups in my low back. I also suffer from migraines and have found chiropractic adjustments of great help. Even with the relief other chiropractors provided over the years, I had missed out on a lot of fun activities, travel, and even had lost numerous work days.

It was one of the luckiest days of my life when I saw Dr. Ralph Lemongello’s office near my home and decided to walk in the door! After so much experience with chiropractors, I could tell from the first adjustment that this one was very special. It was so obvious that he totally knew and understood the body and the workings of the spine. He knew exactly how to give an adjustment that was focused, efficient, and near miraculous in the immediate relief it provided!

Over the years, Dr. Ralph has always been able to “keep me going.” In addition to regular maintenance visits, he has always been available for emergency episodes when I’m in pain because of doing something that causes too much stress on my back. Without his help, I would probably have been leading the life of a semi-invalid, unable to do the things I love – teaching, traveling, etc. At the very least, I would have had to have taken a lot more medication (anti-inflammatories and analgesics), all of which have too many side effects and, in the final analysis, provide nowhere near the help Dr. Ralph has given me.

I also introduced my husband to Dr. Ralph. My husband spends long hours sitting at a computer, which causes problems especially in the neck, shoulder and arms. He, too, has been coming to Dr. Ralph for almost ten years, at least once a month. My husband is an avid biker, loving long days of pedaling all over the country. Dr. Ralph’s chiropractic adjustments keep him limber enough to continue doing what he loves.

Now we are moving to another part of the country. Friends ask me what I will miss most. Of course, my family and friends, my work and my students, and many more of the usual answers. But the one answer that is always in my mind is: my chiropractic adjustments from Dr. Ralph! These, which have so greatly added to the quality of my life for so long, will be greatly missed! I plan to continue with chiropractic help and will find someone in our new area, but it is hard to leave the very best! With his unique skills and personal commitment and compassion, Dr. Ralph Lemongello is a perfect example of chiropractic at its highest level. We will both miss him terribly – we’re even thinking of trying to come back in as we come back for vacations and family visits, since I haven’t been able to convince him to relocate [with us] too!

As I have always said to friends and coworkers over the years, “Dr. Ralph is the man who keeps me walking!”

TESTIMONIAL

Kristina Zambito, 27, School Social Worker June 8, 2004

I first went to Dr. Ralph in summer 2003, after discovering I was having increasing pain from my routine running and regimented workouts. I had been to another Chiropractor two years earlier for a lesser problem, but that doctor had moved away and I was lucky enough to find Dr. Ralph through a friend’s recommendation. His first impression upon me was that he was informative, optimistic and reassuring and I trusted his insight as a doctor. I found that he did more complex treatments to solve my latest problem than I had experienced with the other doctor. I had to put off my regular physical routine temporarily, but after a continuous process of evaluation, adjustments and re-evaluation by Dr. Ralph, he discovered a breakthrough way of looking at the problem and providing treatment. I am now on my way towards resuming my previous level of routine workouts and my distance running – pain free! Dr. Ralph is restoring my treasured hobby of physical fitness and for that I am abundantly grateful.

TESTIMONIAL

Marybeth Levandoski, 46, Registered Nurse Montclair, NJ March 1, 2005

Most people think of chiropractors when they are having a back or neck problem. They hear from others that these pains are eliminated be adjustments. Yet despite the success stories from friends and neighbors who have received relief from chiropractors, some are still hesitant to pursue such treatment. I am a registered nurse who has benefited greatly from chiropractic medicine. I must say first and foremost that this is true because my chiropractor is Dr. Ralph Lemongello. My husband and I have chronic back and neck problems that have been routinely corrected by Dr. Ralph since 1993. Yet I write today to share with you the many other benefits of chiropractic medicine with Dr. Ralph Lemongello.

A few years back, I had an episode of bells palsy in my face. Bells palsy is a temporary paralysis of one side of your face because of a problem with the facial nerves. In some cases it is not completely reversible. I sought treatment immediately with Dr. Ralph who adjusted my neck and jaw to alleviate the pressure on the nerves involved. I had a complete recovery.

Our children are also patients of Dr. Ralph’s and not only do we see him when there are headaches or backaches or hip discomfort due to mild scoliosis, but also when we experience cold or flu-like symptoms. The proper adjustment can greatly diminish the length of these illnesses.

The most recent success story involving Dr. Ralph’s expertise was when our younger daughter (age 13) sprained her ankle while playing basketball. It was a severe sprain requiring orthopedic visits and physical therapy. She was in a lot of pain and could only get around with the aid of crutches. We finally thought to ask Dr. Ralph to evaluate her. He did his usual thorough diagnostic examination and recommended chiropractic adjustments to her lower back and directly to the ankle, plus application of the new Cold Laser to the ankle area to promote healing. After one visit with him, including the Cold Laser treatment, her pain was reduced enough that she was able to begin walking again – not too far, but it was a first without her crutches. We continued to see Dr. Ralph for chiropractic adjustments plus the Cold Laser treatments for a total of eight visits over three weeks, and our daughter’s progress was remarkable. Her orthopedic doctor and physical therapist were amazed at how quickly she healed. She was even able to play basketball again before her season ended. We were skeptical of this new treatment at first, but no one can argue with the results: Cold Laser added to proper chiropractic adjustments really works!

Dr. Ralph is gifted in his field and has a great bedside manner as well. His office is clean and well maintained and he is able to meet the needs of each of his patients. My family’s overall health and well being is improved because we are his patients. I only wish that more people would see the benefit of chiropractic medicine and put their trust in Dr. Ralph Lemongello.

TESTIMONIAL

Michael Roppatte, 52, Hair Stylist,  Livingston, NJ   8/30/04

About 20 years ago, I heard about Dr. Ralph Lemongello. Friends told me of amazing results they had had from Dr. Ralph. My lower back and neck had given me trouble since school. I was suffering from increasing pain. It was affecting my work (I work on my feet all day, doing precision work with my hands while bending and twisting…) What was even scarier was that my body seemed to be “locking up”, I was no longer able to do many simple things at work or around the house, and I was only in my 20’s...

After just a few visits to Dr. Ralph, the change was incredible. My pain was gone and my mobility was coming back strong! That convinced me: Chiropractic, the way Dr. Ralph does it, is the basis for good health.

For the past 20 years, at the first sign of trouble – pain or lack of mobility – I get right in to Dr. Ralph. And he has always given me relief. He has helped my wife and most of the rest of my family with all manner of aches and pains, including troubles through pregnancy, headaches, carpal tunnel.

With a car or any piece of complicated machinery, regular maintenance by a good technician is critical to keeping it running. But care by a truly gifted master mechanic gives you high performance over a long life. Dr. Ralph Lemongello is the most gifted chiropractor I’ve ever heard of. I’ve learned that regular maintenance of my body through Dr. Ralph’s adjustments is the key to maintaining my good health.

TESTIMONIAL

Frank Pasquino, 56, HVAC Technician,  Bloomfield, NJ March 5, 2005

In my early 20’s I had lower back problems. I went to 4 different doctors: 2 medical physicians and 2 orthopedic doctors. They told me I had this & that, made excuses instead of pinpointing causes, and gave me pain medication. I couldn’t stand for this: there had to be a better way to make my pain go away. I found a chiropractor who gave me better relief than the medical doctors, and stuck with him until he retired about 15 years ago.

Approximately 12 years ago I moved into Bloomfield. I didn’t want to go to just any chiropractor because of various reasons: I wanted a doctor that was good, had diagnostic honesty, and someone I could feel that was concerned for my well-being. Then someone recommended Dr. Ralph Lemongello.

Dr. Ralph has helped me in many different ways, not only with my lower back and neck pain. By adjusting my body to better health and teaching me better ways of living, now I feel like an athlete (well, almost)! Dr. Ralph is a regular guy, honest and straightforward, very personable, and focused on maintaining all of my health and well-being. He is very confident in what he does: this doc is the best.

P.S. Dr. Ralph has taken me “out of the woods” many, many times!

TESTIMONIAL

Richard Dotz, 51, Copywriter, Montville, NJ   8/21/04

About 20 years ago, I went to England to vacation. Being young and not well heeled, I brought along duffle bags to carry my belongings. This was before wheeled suitcases. After a switch in hotels, I dragged my bags a few blocks to the new hotel and “threw” my back out. I was a continent away and in pain. All the medical doctors could do for me over there was to provide medicine to mask the problem. The same thing happened with medical doctors on my return to the USA. Then, I heard about Dr. Ralph Lemongello. He fixed me up in no time. Those other docs simply couldn’t do what Dr. Ralph did.

I had lived in the area of his office then. Now, two decades later, and many, many towns away, I still return to Dr. Ralph for care. He has treated me for and fixed all kinds of back and neck problems, as well as arm and leg problems, for over 20 years. I’ve never known him not to be able to help me. My work causes tension to build up in my neck and shoulders every few weeks. I then experience debilitating headaches. A visit or two to Dr. Ralph always alleviates the headache pain and fixes the problem. I imagine if I came in more often, I would not even have the tension build-up over time.

I have come to understand that for muscle and skeletal system as well as nervous system issues, Dr. Ralph is the man to see: I know a visit will provide relief without B.S. You won’t find a more capable chiropractor or a more caring person. At this point, he’s not only my caregiver, he’s my friend.

TESTIMONIAL

George Wesner & Fred Davies, Musicians, New Jersey February 11, 2004

As professional musicians at Radio City Music Hall, we play a large pipe organ for 12 hours a day. The repetitive work requires the movement of both hands and feet while balancing and shifting body weight on a seat with no back support.

Dr. Ralph had made it possible for us to continue our work. He is a no-nonsense professional who made insightful diagnoses and recommended a combination of exercise and treatment which has made us stronger and pain free. Additionally, he has recommended nutritional advice which has worked.

In the office, Dr. Ralph is careful and timely. His pricing is fair and there has never been any indication that treatments or products are recommended to inflate costs or take advantage of our medical insurance.

Fifteen years ago, my sciatica pain was getting worse to the point where I was becoming less mobile each day. I went thru’ an entire summer in pain, despite the efforts of a couple of medical doctors. All they could come up with was to prescribe pain killers, nothing to actually solve my problem. It reached the point where I couldn’t take enough Motrin to cover the pain. I tried a couple of other chiropractors. They gave me some relief, but nothing that seemed to last more than a day or so.

One of these other chiropractors finally referred me to Dr. Ralph Lemongello. At that point, I was a very nervous patient and thought that I would not feel comfortable with anyone new. I was wrong. Dr. Ralph upon one visit allowed me to walk over two miles with almost no pain.
