Dr. Chris Kerszko


Family Care:

On September 30, 2006, my family was rear-ended by another car, pushing us into the person in front of us.  I was experiencing neck and back pain that was so severe that I had trouble walking and taking care of my son (I was also pregnant). My son, who was 11 months old, showed signs that his hip was bothering him because he was walking funny.

After following my mother’s advice and making an appointment, I noticed a huge difference.  I was able to bend and could finally lift my son.  Dr. Kerszko also checked my son and he is walking fine now since being adjusted, in fact, he sleeps better at night too.

Fibromyalgia:

I have been going to chiropractors for 30 years and I have tried many different chiropractors.  Dr. Chris is the first where I am not sore after the adjustments and where I can go back to work where with others I was laid up for a day.  I think he is just the best.  After only a few weeks of adjustments I was back in the garden and was able to clean the house again – both of which I haven’t done in over 20 years!!

-J.L.


Children:

Growing Pains:

When I first saw the doctors I had chronic headaches and severe back and neck pain that was becoming more frequent.  I have suffered for numerous years.  The doctors I had seen had done nothing for the pain, attributing it to growing pains and just told me the pain would eventually go away.

The staff at Westerly Chiropractic were very friendly and nice, making me feel welcome.  What I like most about the care here is how they explain what is wrong and how they will go about fixing the problem.

I have had less back and neck pain, hardly any headaches, and better range of motion in my neck

-Shanster Balko


Colic:

I brought my newborn daughter into the office with colic and constipation.  She was suffering for about 3 weeks.  After seeing the pediatrician without any results we consulted with Dr. Kerszko.

The doctor was very gentle with my baby and the adjustments have really helped with my baby’s symptoms.  They treated us like part of the family. Very comfortable environment. She is now having big bowel movements 3-4 times a day and helped my baby significantly with reducing colic.

-Eliza’s Mom


Headaches / Migraines:

My son was having neck pain and headaches which were migraines at times.  After about one week of adjustments, I realized that the headaches subsided.  I never realized that chiropractic works so quickly.

-Joseph’s Mom


Over-Medicated:

Multiple Sclerosis:

I started going to Dr. Chris a few months ago.  I had been told by doctors that there was little help for me outside of surgery and pain medication.

I have Multiple Sclerosis and severe spinal stenosis from my neck down causing excruciating and constant nerve pain.  I have been living on serious drugs to control the pain, with little relief. 

The light touch adjustments that Dr. Chris used wasn’t painful and soon I was noticing that my pain was less and I was taking less medications.  One day after an adjustment, I sat there totally shocked thinking “I don’t believe this, but I don’t hurt anywhere!”

Dr. Chris and chiropractic have done more for me and my pain in a few weeks than all those other doctors did, or didn’t do, in all those years.  Chiropractic for me has been a blessing and a God send.

I now take very little medication for discomfort…usually over the counters instead of the strong prescription drugs I lived on.

-Judy Sellins


Hip Pain and Nausea:

I originally visited Westerly Chiropractic because I was nauseous and living in excruciating pain in my right hip due to a fall and a lifting injury.  After about 6 months, I realized that I needed relief from pain and constant discomfort.

After speaking with a friend and explaining my pain, my inability to function and work without pain, exhaustion and nausea, she mentioned Dr. Chris.

I was willing to consider anything other than pain medications.

I didn’t realize that chiropractic care would truly eliminate the nausea and feeling like a space cadet.  I am on the road to recovery to wellness (without drugs).  Thanks Dr. Chris.

-Eleanor Wilsey


Numb Hands:

After a few years of suffering with numb hands, neck pain and lower back pain, I decided to try chiropractic.  I had already done muscle relaxers and was seen by the orthopedist with little to no results.

What I liked most about Westerly Chiropractic is that they taught about chiropractic and everything was explained in great detail.  The results have been – no numbness in the hands and lower back pain feels a lot better.  I tell everyone I talk to about chiropractic – that the doctor is great – not only does he fix you, he explains everything he does in great detail.

-T. M.


In General:

First of all, let me say that I am very thankful to be able to share my chiropractic success story with you.  I will be very brief, but get directly to the point!  It REALLY WORKS!

Since coming to Dr. Kerszko, I have experienced a complete change both mentally and physically.  I now have the stamina to work a challenging full time job and enjoy living a hectic family life free from pain.  I understand now, also, that preventative maintenance adjustments are the key to your future without pain.

I highly recommend chiropractic services to anyone and would be available anytime to answer questions you may have.

Mid-Back and Neck Pain:

As an esthetician, by the end of my shift I literally “felt crooked” and had lots of back and neck pain.  All I wanted to do was to go home and go to bed.

After several weeks of adjustments with Dr. Kerszko the change is remarkable.  I now leave work with energy to spare and much less pain.

I actually thought I may have to give up my profession at one point, but that is absolutely no longer the case.

-Tina Rizzo


Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed:

When I first came in to Westerly Chiropractic, I was in so much pain I could hardly stand it.  I had seen numerous doctors, and all to no avail.  Dr. Kerszko assured me that my pain was very real and certainly an issue that could be corrected by chiropractic care.

...read more »

I had severe pain into my legs, a constantly sore neck and back, along with general ill health.  Soon after the first adjustment I was feeling relief.  And now, after only two months, I have almost no pain.  Overall, I feel healthier and muck happier I don’t have to suffer any more.

This practice, along with impeccable customer service and a genuine positive and comfortable environment has met and exceeded my expectations.  I will continue to come here and spread the word about a great Doctor who really cares about his patients wellbeing. 

-Emily Handy


I first needed a chiropractor back in the 60’s!  Several “memories” still stand out from those treatments.

...read more »

  1. I felt like a contortionist trying at times to become a human pretzel
  2. I could heat the “crackles” and feel them too!
  3. My spine was measured with the old plumb-bob system (exterior visual where not much can be seen or detected)!

It’s so amazing that Dr. Chris in a short time – with his gentle adjustments – has relieved what had taken years for me, my body and a few mishaps to misalign.

I have had other chiropractic care over the past year but none seamed to address the symptoms I felt and expressed concern about.

Dr. Chris and Simone ask the right questions and listen.  They explain and teach because they care!

I’m happier, and healthier, and look forward to my treatments.

-Jeanne


One Year and Beyond…

Severe Migraine Headaches originally brought me into the office over a year ago.  Now I have for fewer headaches and best of all, I have better energy throughout the day.  Positive health changes that have occurred since I started chiropractic care include…More energy, less pain, better health, less allergies,  sleeping better, walking better, less headaches, less illness, better range of motion, clearer thinking, better vision, less tingling and numbness, better mental outlook, and less stress and anxiety. 

Everything is great!

-A.T.


Numb hands and Low Back Pain originally brought me into the office two years ago.  Since then I have more energy, less pain, I sleep better, breathe better, walk better and have less headaches.  Overall I am less sick and have less pain, I can think clearly and my digestive system has regulated.  I refer as many people as I can to chiropractic.  The best thing about being under chiropractic care is no more numb hands and I haven’t had a cold in 2 years!! 

-K.J.

 Dr. Chris Asks some important questions of interest to Westerly residents - Chiropractor Westerly Dr. Chris Asks...

How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
What does a chiropractic adjustment do?
Chiropractic adjustments give your spine a little "nudge" at the right place, right time and the right direction so your body can use that energy to "right" itself. With a schedule of consistent chiropractic visits, a new, healthier spinal pattern emerges.
