I went to the Doctor for a physical In June of 2019. I got my lab results back and was shocked to see that I was in stage three renal failure. My kidneys were filtering at a 50% filtration rate and my Creatinine levels were over 1.61. I was Scared to death!
I had been friends with Dr. Ray Drury and his wife for many years. I even taught their Daughters Karate when they were young. At Mrs. Drury birthday party, I mentioned my diagnosis to Dr. Drury. He said “I ‘m sure I can help you with that, make an appointment with my office and we’ll get started.” I was skeptical to say the least, I wasn’t sure how adjusting my spine could somehow effect my kidneys. I was terrified of the prospect of dialysis, so I thought what have I got to lose. Plus, after over 30 years of Martial arts my back was wrecked. I had abused my body and my neck and back hurt often. Maybe an adjustment or two would help.
I had my 1st adjustment on Jan. 9th,2020. Wow is all I can say. After the adjustment, I had an instant feeling of relief in my neck. That alone was worth the investment. On April 24th, 2020 after 4 months of treatment I went back to my Doctor for a follow up and more Labs. My Filtration was up to 65% (15-point increase) and My creatinine was down to 1.29. I was ecstatic! I was a believer from that point on. I have not missed one appointment in the 18 months since.
On October 19th, 2021, I returned to the Doctor for more labs. My kidney function is now NORMAL! Filtration is up to 71% and creatinine is at 1.18. I could not be Happier. I cannot thank Dr. Ray Drury enough for this amazing miracle. I highly recommend Dr. Drury and the staff at Upper Cervical Spine Center.

I suffered with an extremely face pain condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia for more than 11-years...I Tried every cure known to man with no relief. Then I found Dr. Drury and the Upper Cervical Spine Center...His upper cervical adjustments provided the relief I had been searching for...I have been pain free for more than 3-years. Dr. Drury gave me my life back!

I was a migraine sufferer. I know the story may sound so familiar, but migraine headaches can really stop you in your tracks. The migraine I use to suffer from caused light sensitivity and on occasions, vomiting. Unfortunately, prescription medications were useless. I am so grateful for finding the Upper Cervical Center. Dr. Fleischer is wonderful! Who would have thought such a simply fix would change my life! I appreciate the care the entire office staff takes with each person. It feels good to be free of migraines.

I suffered with migraines for most of my life. Several years ago I had a migraine for weeks. My Dr. just wanted to give me pain pills that had me so out of it I couldn't go to work. A friend recommended Dr. Drury. I made the appointment, not really expecting too much. Dr. Drury and his staff did such a great job educating me on what he does and how it could help. After the very first visit, I felt better. After about the third visit, the migraine was completely gone. I continued with his suggested visits and for years I am migraine free.

Overall satisfaction consistently high. Staff takes great care to accommodate my appointments given my busy schedule. Highly recommend their expertise to address any health and wellness issues.

Excited about the change to come. They way my body is supposed to be. Dr. Dury and his staff are amazing.

After weeks of physical therapy, trigger point shots, and a cortisone shot, I still had much pain in my neck down to the fingers on my left hand. Read the article in the paper about Dr. Drury, prayed about it and made the appointment I started treatment in May and for the last two months have been pain free. My energy is returning and I am able to a lot more. Dr. Drury and his staff have been a blessing to me. I wish I had known about Upper Cervical before. Peggy Godwin

After surgery, I was having arm numbness, facial tingling, headache and dizziness. I thought I was having a stroke. They admitted me to the hospital and did every expensive test and could not find anything even though there were still symptoms----I knew there was something wrong and every specialist on my case could not figure it out. Dr. Drury figured it out immediately and got me on the right road and no more symptoms. I still go to Dr. Drury on a regular basis and I feel amazing. I am NO LONGER on any medication because I do not need it. Dr. Drury fixed all the symptoms that I described above as well as chronic back pain. I sleep better and feel like a new person with so much energy. His office staff is amazing the atmosphere in the office is very relaxing. I would like to add that I am a nurse and practiced modern medicine my whole 20 year career.... but now I am a firm believer to heal within and don't take any medications to put a band aid over the problem.

Dr. Drury is an amazing individual and can't say enough GREAT things about him. I felt the process was much more specific than other chiropractors because he took
x-rays, did scans, and more importantly cared for what was going on. The results speak for themselves and I not only look forward to continuing care but bringing everyone I know. Thanks Dr. Drury

Dr. Drury is very experienced in chiropractic care. I have a long history with chiropractic offices, and had not seen relief or repair of my symptoms until becoming a patient of Dr. Drury. Since being referred by a friend, my health has returned, I have had noticeable pain reduction, and my posture has improved immensely. I highly recommend his services to people who are committed to their long-term health.

I had back trouble my whole life. I saw all kinds of doctors, MDs and chiropractors and the most I ever got was temporary relief-- until I went to Dr. Drury. My back hasn't bothered me since I started getting adjustments with Dr. Drury almost three years ago. I found Dr. Drury to be upfront, honest, and very thorough. Now I'm on a monthly maintenance plan to make sure my adjustments are holding. I'm amazed how upper cervical worked for me. I wish I'd known about it 40 years ago.

I have been a patient of Dr. Drury's for over ten years. I got more relief from my pain under his care him than all the other doctors I tried. It took time. In the beginning, I got adjustments 2-3 times per week when the pain was severe. Visits became less and less frequent as the pain started going away. Now I go in for monthly checkups and am completely pain free. I personally like Dr. Drury's policy of telling patients what the cost of care will be. I've been unpleasantly surprised too many times from medical bills I received in the mail after treatment. When I compare the cost of medications and charges from my other doctors, going to Dr. Drury cost me less money. But the most important factor is that his adjustments were the only thing that gave me permanent relief from the awful pain I was suffering from, and I no longer have to take pain meds, which is important to me. Now that I am pain-free, my quality of life has improved exponentially. I have Dr. Drury to thank for that.
