Satisfied Patient Testimonials

Hi!  My name is Evon Holliday and just like you, I was in a car accident. I had herniated discs and was in a lot of pain.  I tried many providers but could not get any relief until I went to see Dr. Steve Arne.  The Arne Wellness Center (AWC) has a variety of treatment approaches, used in conjunction with chiropractic, to decrease my pain such as cold laser therapy, massage, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy and emotional release therapy to erase the trauma of the accident.  Dr. Steve and the healers at the ArneWellnessCenter kept me moving toward healing whenever I had a flare up.  What I like best about the AWC is the freedom to express myself about my “total self”.  I never felt judged.  I need to be able to trust my doctor and his staff and I appreciate the patience they have given me to meet my needs.  The positive attitude they have is healing in itself!

Dr. Steve and the AWC healers helped me become whole again.  I strongly urge you to make an appointment for a consultation and see the wellness center for yourself and all it has to offer.  The healing team is continually being educated and they truly care about you which is vital to healing.  Dr. Steve and his team of healers are available to help you with your total being, if you desire it!

Meet Jody Kruse and Angelo Collier

I came to the ArneWellnessCenter in May 2004 with a low back condition.  I had two bulging discs.  Dr. Steve put me on a corrective care plan and after 6 months, the x-rays showed a significant straightening of my spine!  Dr. Steve has many therapy modalities but my favorite is the Erchonia cold laser therapy.  It is great in reducing pain and bringing down inflammation!  I have also used it for colds/flu, infections, and for depression.  I have significantly reduced my depression medication.   I also love massage and get one with my adjustment once a month.  With the success I experienced, I decided to bring my grandson, Angelo, 12, who is autistic.  His first visit was on December 23, 2004 and he received his first chiropractic adjustment.  December 24, 2004 was remarkable because it was the first Christmas Angelo stayed with the family for the whole celebration.   Angelo did not get overwhelmed because the short circuit in his central nervous system  was relieved, giving him the ability to adapt to the occasion.  Angelo and I are now wellness patients.  With regular adjustments, Angelo is calmer and healthier (no ear infection or strep throat all year).  Sugar and caffeine send his nervous system into a tailspin so we try hard to avoid them.  Children with autism are tactile aversive, however, Angelo loves getting adjustments from Dr. Steve and he looks forward to his visits.  What we love about the ArneWellnessCenter is how they make us feel - safe, special, loved and nurtured!  Bessie, Jen, Lisa, and Maggie provide a holistic soothing environment and it sets the AWC apart.  We love the AWC and we love Chiropractic! 

Meet Lynn Anderson

Hi! I’m Lynn Anderson and my son, Tanner, was featured in last month’s newsletter.  He’s the basketball player who broke his foot and went on to play in a month with Dr. Steve’s help.  I was quite impressed with Tanner’s success so I decided to become a patient as well.  I was having an issue with my knee, stomach and generally, I just was not feeling well.  Dr. Steve found that my spine was misaligned (subluxated) in many areas.  He explained that the nerve roots coming out of the spine are connected to internal organs and body parts.  The nerve roots get irritated when a spinal vertebra is on it, causing the organ or body parts connected to become dis-eased.  In my case, T8 was subluxated, giving me stomach problems.  My lumbar area was also subluxated giving me knee pain.  The subluxation station showed me in color why I was not feeling well.  Internally, there was a communication breakdown between my brain and the rest of my body. 

Dr. Steve put me on a six month corrective care plan and after that, I became a wellness patient.  I have been coming for weekly adjustments for over a year and I am happy to report that I feel good and I am healthy!  However, in April, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism so I talked to Dr. Steve about this.  He recommended a Health Scan.  Using Applied Kinesiology or muscle testing, he found that my thyroid, endocrine system, stomach and large intestine were out of balance.  He put me on Total Thyroid to regulate thyroid function, Total Enzymes to aid in food digestion, assimilation and elimination, Total Probiotic to restore gut flora, DSF for adrenal support, Total Female to regulate hormones, and Total Trim to regulate my weight.  After 2 months, I went back to my medical doctor for a retest and my thyroid panel was normal! Nutritional supplements along with a few Erchonia Cold Laser treatments stabilized my thyroid disorder!  Most people diagnosed with hypothyroid stay on prescription medication for long periods of time.  I want to share my story so that people will know there is an alternative to medication without side effects! 

I love the ArneWellnessCenter because they helped me increase my health in a natural way! I love Jen’s massages which I get regularly.  My daughter, Briana, and son, Tanner also gets massages from Jen and adjustments from Dr. Steve.  I also love the foot bath for detoxification, the neck stretches, Reiki from Bessie.  I’ve had Reiki during very stressful times in my life and I feel a huge energy shift after every session.  It makes me feel cleansed, open to possibilities, healthy and able to deal with life.  I highly recommend Reiki for stress relief!

Meet Some of Our Very Own Awesome Athletes

My name is Justin Berrett.  I play football and lacrosse at Benilde St. Margaret’s (BSM).  I had just been accepted to play in the MN Select U17 state lacrosse team when I sprained my ankle.  I walked into the Arne Wellness Center (AWC) on crutches on a Monday.  I told Dr. Steve, that it was critical for me to play at the upcoming Saturday game.  Dr. Steve used cold laser therapy on my ankle, moxa patches, and chiropractic adjustments.  After the first laser treatment, the swelling was noticeably down.  Dr. Steve sent me home with moxa patches to use at night.  The following day, I had an increase in ankle mobility.  Dr. Steve saw me three times that week using the same therapies and I was thrilled to be able to play in the Saturday game! The AWC is my family.  I love the massage chairs, the zero gravity chair, the massages, acupuncture, and most of all the cold laser therapy!  I have been getting adjustments since I was 3 months old. Chiropractic keeps me healthy and on top of my game!

Hi!  My name is Nick Tourville and I play football and wrestling at BSM.  I started seeing Dr. Steve in the fall to enhance my performance.  Chiropractic has helped me increase my mobility and range of motion.  I am able to run faster in football. In wrestling, I move better on the mat and my take downs are more fluid.  I am very happy to be able to participate in the national wrestling competition to be held in Indianapolis on June 9-11. I could not have done it without chiropractic care!  I love getting adjusted and look forward to my visits.  The combination of therapies (cold laser, acupuncture, massage, percussor, emotional release) and chiropractic adjustments helped me to perform optimally.  My mother, also a patient, and I love the AWC!

Hey! My name is Tanner Anderson and I am a basketball player.  Last year, when I was a senior at Holy Family, I broke my foot a month before our first section game.  I went to see a medical doctor who put my foot in a cast for 4-6 weeks and told me I was done for the season.  I was very disappointed but determined to find a way to play.  Someone told me that the AWC had a, Erchonia cold  laser therapy that regenerates bones quickly.  I started cold laser therapy 3-4 times a week.  In addition to laser, Dr. Steve adjusted me to keep my structure stable.  After 4 weeks, a day before the section game, I went back to the medical doctor. He took an x-ray and told me I was healing better than normal and ahead of schedule.  He said he would remove the cast and give me permission to play.  The laser therapy was a miracle to me!  I scored 16 points and 13 rebounds in about 2 quarters of limited play.  It was a joyful moment that I will never forget!  Thank you Dr. Steve for the great chiropractic care you provided and for believing in me!
