Dr. Christine Hoch

I have been going through dialysis two times a week since November 2006 for kidney failure. Once a month my blood is tested to see how my kidneys function.  The results had not been coming back good, so the doctors wanted me to add an extra day a week of dialysis.  However, I did not want to go more often. So, I began to search for alternative solutions. I decided to call Dr. Hoch’s office to inquire about treating kidney failure with acupuncture.  I immediately set up an appointment.  After just five acupuncture treatments my blood results came back with better kidney function. I started with 2 acupuncture sessions per week along with my regular dialysis. Each time I have my blood tested, my kidney function is better. Now I’m doing so well that Dr. Hoch has decreased my acupuncture sessions to once a week!  I found out this past March that my blood and urine tests came back with normal kidney function. The doctors tested again a month later and it showed my kidneys were still functioning well. I will continue to have my blood tested to monitor my kidney function, but things are looking up. I may be able to stop dialysis. Only time will tell!

Update: Jim no longer needs dialysis treatment!

My daughter is in sports at school. Last year she injured her back during volleyball practice. I had given her over the counter pain killers, but the medication did not help. I took her to see Dr. Hoch. She started getting adjusted regularly and her pain was soon gone. As I learned more about my daughter chiropractic care, I became interested. I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Hoch, not for pain but for wellness care. Jessica and I now get adjusted once a month. Although I didn’t have any complaints before getting adjusted, I have noticed my body working better. I had seasonal sinus problems that cleared up and improved digestion. I brought my son in for baseball injuries and told everyone how beneficial chiropractic has been for me and my family.

I had been suffering from pain in my right shoulder blade and living off Motrin for about a year until I came to see Dr. Hoch. My Dad encouraged me to make an appointment since chiropractic worked for him. Even though I had never seen a chiropractor before I thought I would give it a shot. I called to schedule my first visit and I couldn’t believe I was able to get in that same day! At any other Doctors office I would’ve had to wait two hours. So I was really amazed when I was able to get in and out really fast.  I was so pleased that soon I would finally be getting some relief. Dr. Hoch recommended a few exercises to make my recovery a little bit faster. I’ve told my whole family how much Dr. Hoch had helped me. She has even improved my golf game by recommending the golf orthotics. Chiropractic definitely lives up to the hype. It sheds light on all the bad effects of medication.

I met Dr. Hoch when she came to a function for my daughter’s Girl Scout troop. One of the other moms and I decided, after listening to Dr. Hoch’s presentation, to schedule appointments to find out if some of the health issues we were dealing with could be managed. I had been having problems with pain in my back and legs for a few years, but had a flare up within the previous 2-3 weeks of meeting Dr. Hoch. After my examination, Dr. Hoch prescribed a treatment plan consisting of electric muscle stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, massage therapy, acupuncture and spinal adjustments. After several treatments, my pain began to decrease and is much better now. I have been seeing Dr. Hoch for almost a year. And in the past year, I have decided to bring my husband and children in for chiropractic care. My husband is a firefighter and had constant back pain. His pain is now gone. My 11 daughter is in several sports. I decided to bring her in to be checked for leg and ankle pain and overall general health. She has greatly benefited from orthotics and is doing great with spinal adjustments. My 9 year old son had complained of headaches and had gotten several upper respiratory infections in the past year. Dr. Hoch started adjusting him and amazing changes happened. He is much more outgoing and confident. Several people have commented on how much more he talks. His headaches stopped and he has only had 1 cold. Both of my children enjoy getting adjusted and are constantly reading the patient education posted around the office. My husband was just re-evaluated and had great, positive changes in his x-rays. Our family continues to get adjusted and continues to tell others about chiropractic.

I have been experiencing low back pain for quite some time. It became so severe; one day I could barely move. I was familiar with Dr. Hoch’s office through her newsletters and living in town.

Since starting my treatment I have no more pain and my flexibility is so much better! My family has noticed that my pain and discomfort is gone. Before I felt immobilized because of the pain; now it’s like night and day! I have been telling everyone how Dr. Hoch has helped me!

I want to share my chiropractic story with you. I had never been to a chiropractor until this past December. I woke up on a Tuesday with horrible pain in my back and right leg. I called my osteopathic doctor. He treated me, but I did not get any relief. I am a truck driver and had to take several pain pills to get me through my drive that day. By Wednesday afternoon, I scheduled an appointment to see Dr. Hoch. Dr. Hoch was actually out of town at the time, but her fill-in doctor, Dr. Smith, spoke with me about my pain, examined me, and took x-rays to determine the condition of my spine. I was back in the office on Friday for treatment. When Dr. Hoch returned from vacation, she looked at my exam findings and created a treatment plan just for me. I began with electric muscle stimulation and ultrasound to increase circulation in the muscles in my back and decrease the inflammation. Dr. Hoch adjusts me every time I visit. I am very satisfied with my progress so far. I don’t have any more back or leg pain and feel better than I have in years. I also noticed some other interesting changes. When I go to the bathroom, I have much more regular bowel movements. Also, for the past 10 years, I have had a tremor in my hand that prevented me from doing things like writing and target shooting. All of a sudden, my penmanship is much better. The tremor is gone and I think I’ll have to try target shooting. I asked Dr. Hoch if it is related to my adjustments. She looked at me and said, “What do you think?” I think it is chiropractic. I tell everyone that will listen, how much better I feel.
