I came to see Dr. Frank Antikidis in early March of 2007 with shoulder and knee pain. After some preliminary exam, including x-ray, I found out that I had a rotator cuff disease. With the help of his wife, Dr. Monica I had acupuncture and an exercise program laid out for me. After several treatments my pain is almost completely gone.

Dr. Frank worked diligently to get me out of pain as quickly as possible. He kept me informed through out the process and not with medical mumbo-jumbo but in plain English so I knew what I was going on every step of the way. I am truly grateful that I came to see Dr. Frank. He has made such an impact on my life by fixing my lower back pain. I feel like me again. Thank you!

I came to Elixir chiropractic and acupuncture for 2 reasons. 1) 3 areas of extreme discomfort pain. 2) a flyer from elixir chiropractic that came in the mail at the right time.

Therapy has improved my health and minimized pain in 3 areas dramatically. I have now graduated form weekly sessions to twice and one a month. I choose twice a month as I have a constant high stress level of life.. I highly recommend Dr. Monica and Elixir Chiropractic therapies as a vital component in a personal health in plan.

I started seeing Dr. Monica and Dr. Frank about a year ago. I had a pinched nerve in my neck. After a few treatments I was much better, my family Doctor just gave pain killers not much help but after seeing Dr. Monica I was feeling much better,…..no drugs. I still see Dr. Monica now for my hands, pain in both wrists, carpel tunnel and I feel better after each treatment. She has also helped me eat better and I am detoxing my body and I have more energy when I wake up. Dr Monica genially cares for her patient’s health inside and outside. She teaches you a better and natural way of to feel better and live a healthier life.

I am happy to be part of your collection of comments regarding your excellent service.

It was your personal outreach ( door to door introduction of yourself and your services) which brought me to your office. I am 70 yrs old and had just receives my first cortisone shot to help manage the pain of constant bursitis. Within a very short time the nagging pain had returned and I decided that a visit to your office would be in order.

Both the office staff and the doctors in attendance were professional and took their time to listen to me as I shared my concerns and my hopes that the pain of bursitis in my shoulder could be managed.

Within weeks after my first visits experienced the relief that I was hoping for. The doctor gave ma series of exercise to help me stretch my shoulder muscles. Part of the treatment considered a massage and manipulation of muscles and bones which over the years had “lost their place”. I was introduced to resistance techniques and had to smile when the doctor informed me that I was expected to let him win.

After a few months of therapy ( no drug involved) I continue maintenance using the stretching and resistance techniques suggested by Dr. Antikidis and I am very happy to say that I have full range of motion and enjoy full participation in my daily life.

I first began to suffer from allergies at age 14 and since then I think I have tried one of the widest ranges of treatments: from traditional medicine, including years of allergy shots, to various “ alternative” therapies. I went to see Dr. Monica in desperation, since I had never experienced significant long- term relief, but if I had known acupuncture was going to be part of her treatment, I probably would have walked right out the door.

Luckily I did not because never before have I experience such rapid relief and good success. Acupuncture and chiropractic manipulation are just two aspects of the holistic approach Dr. Monica takes toward medicine. She encourages a lifestyle that allows the individual to take charge of his/her own health and my allergies symptoms have been greatly reduced as a result!
