TMJ Problems
Jessica Aeschliman
I’ve had TMJ problems for 9 years – I have not been able to open my jaw since I was diagnosed. I have also had severe neck and shoulder pain from a car accident in 2004. For my TMJ – I was treated at the University of Iowa hospital. I was prescribed muscle relaxers and even had surgery to try and open my jaw. I have been treated by three other chiropractors and nothing worked! I just thought it was something I would have to live with. Since treating with Dr. Vicki I have been sleeping better at night, my mood is improving, and I have more energy during the day. The best thing is that I can fully open my jaw without any pain and my neck feels amazing! Dr. Vicki and her staff have been extremely helpful and professional every time I’m treated. Dr. Vicki makes sure that her patients fully understand treatment and the diagnosis. She spends quality time with her patients and doesn’t rush. Dr. Vicki and her staff have been the only ones to fix the problem!
Note: Since writing this testimonial, Jessica has been to the dentist and was able to hold her jaw open for the entire visit without a brace! 

Back Pain
Matt Morris, Dubuque Fighting Saints goaltender
I started receiving treatment from Tri-States Clinic halfway through the hockey season.  I was experiencing soreness and stiffness in my back which was affecting my play.  As a goalie, that isn’t a good thing.  Dr. Vicki took x-rays and did an exam and pinpointed my problem right away.  After receiving only one treatment I could feel the results.  The next game I made a save that prior to treatment I know I wouldn’t have been able to make.  I have continued getting treatments before each game and have noticed a big difference in how I feel throughout the game because I have more stamina.  The staff is great and they genuinely care about improving your performance. 

Back Pain, Pregnancy
Meagan Donaghy
I have been experiencing horrible lower back and shoulder pain.  It started after about three months into my pregnancy.  After my first appointment, I felt 100% better.  I had twice the amount of energy as I had before and I felt great!  I was amazed at how fast I felt better.  I can finally sleep through the whole night and all of my work and daily activities were so much easier.  Everybody at Tri-States Clinic is so nice and welcoming.  The entire staff was very helpful when it came to fixing all of my problems.  I had a wonderful experience.  It’s not your normal stuffy doctor’s office.  It’s a relaxed environment.  Everyone wants you to feel better and they really care.  I know that I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Neck, Back, and Shoulder Pain
Riley Barber, Dubuque Fighting Saints hockey player
I came to see Dr. Vicki because I had hurt my back in a tournament overseas.  My lower back, neck, and shoulder all hurt.  Dr. Vicki explained how everything is connected and immediately began working to correct the problems.  She treats the problems and not just the symptom.  I get treatments in the office and before the games.  I have noticed that my neck isn’t as stiff and my shoulder is feeling a lot better.  After starting treatment, I scored 5 goals in two weeks!  Thank you Dr. Vicki!

Acid Reflux, Migraines
Rosalee Morgan
I have been suffering with neck pain, migraines, and acid reflux my entire life.  I remember getting migraines at 8 years old and they were so severe I would vomit for hours until the headache subsided.  I have tried regular medical doctors, drugs, holistic treatments, and hypnosis.  I even went to a headache clinic in Madison where they treated me like a lab rat.  After beginning treatment at Tri-States Clinic, I can now turn my head without pain or creaking.  I finally have complete mobility!  I find myself being able to concentrate more and sleep better.  I have more energy and I don’t get sick like I used to.  Dr. Vicki has helped improve my immune system.  I still get headaches but they don’t come as often and are not as severe.   The staff is very helpful, friendly, nurturing, and courteous.  I feel cared about.  Tri-States Clinic is a safe place with a very positive atmosphere.  I would absolutely recommend Tri-States Clinic and I already have!

Knee Pain
Matthew Louis, Dubuque Bruiser
Former University of Dubuque football player
I have suffered with pain in my left knee since my junior year of high school which was 7 years ago. I have tried pain pills, knee adjustments, and rehab 3 different times. Since seeing Dr. Vicki, the pain in my knee has subsided. I am able to lift and run without pain which allows me to push myself to the limit. I sleep better at night and I don’t wake up with any nagging pain. At Tri-States Clinic, I was treated with first class service. There is a sense of a home-like atmosphere when you walk in. The staff makes you feel like a friend and not just a client. The overall experience was great. If you have any kind of injury or pain that never seems to go away, go to Tri-States Clinic. You will find yourself asking, why didn’t I come before.
