Dr. Jeri Anderson
Dr. Jeri Saved Me From Surgery!
My name is Mike. I’m 40 years old in April of 2006 and I first met Dr. Jeri and her wonderful staff in July of 2005.
I had suffered a bad disc rupture in my neck in November of 2004. I was left with very little use of my right arm for months. After meeting with the Spine Surgeon in April of ‘05 and having an MRI done on the affected area, he stated that I was “an excellent candidate for Neck Fusion Surgery”. At the time I was for anything that could help me. I have been a weight lifter for many years and was willing to do anything that would allow me to get back into the gym. ...read more
I was scheduled for surgery in July ’05 and just days before my scheduled surgery, I happened to mention it to a friend who implored me to first go and see Dr. Jeri. Her words to me were, “Mike please don’t have surgery until you first meet with Dr. Jeri and see what she has to say. Dr. Jeri has done so much for me and many others I know. We call her the Miracle Worker.”
Somewhat reluctantly I agreed to make an appointment with Dr. Jeri. I was looking forward to the surgery because I was looking so forward to having full use of my arm again and going to see another chiropractor just sounded like I was wasting my time. (The Chiro I had previously see in Elk Grove actually told me he’d rather not work on me due to the spinal nerve issues, which were so apparent.)
That day I called Capital Chiro and made a next day appointment with Dr. Jeri. I was fully equipped with an x-ray and an MRI scan in hand. We met and she gave me a full evaluation, along with her own x-rays that she took of me right in her office. I was impressed when she told me that over the weekend she would study both the MRI and the new x-rays she took and asked me to come back on Monday.
When I came back, she had a long counsel with me and explained very plainly to me the trouble that was going on in my neck and lower back. She said, “Mike you’re pretty messed up, but I do believe I can help you.”
I started seeing her everyday for about two weeks and then every other day for several months and I remember coming into her office one day in October ’05, and I was singing songs of praise as I described to both her and Beth how I could finally feel muscle soreness in my right bicep and I truly believed I was on the path for a full recovery. (Until that time, I could never feel that my right upper arm or shoulder were ever doing any work)
I can now say that my strength level in my right side is 90% or better and that I am a “True Believer” in the practices of Capital Chiropractic.
Thanks again Dr. Jeri.
-Mike Skaggs

Constant Pain, Trouble Walking and Sleepless Nights
I came to Capital Chiropractic because I had a desperate need to feel better. My thoughts were all about the pain I was in. A wonderful friend set me up with an appointment with Dr. Anderson. I am now walking without a cane. I feel like me again. ...read more
Before I saw Dr. Anderson, I had trouble walking and had sleepless nights. I tried going to doctors and taking prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
After I started chiropractic care, I noticed a great difference. I got rid of my cane. I can once again do many of the things I couldn’t do before. I enjoy my new health.
Thank you Dr. Anderson.

Amazing Improvement in Two Short Weeks
I came to Capital Chiropractic because I was so stiff and sore I could sometimes hardly function. My feet were always sore and have had a tremor for over 25 years. In two short weeks I have seen amazing improvement!...read more
Before I came in, I had a lack of activities I enjoy because of the pain. My spirits were drastically muted. I was always tired. I thought I was 90, not in my 40’s.
I had been to half a dozen doctors and was always told it was simply a muscle problem, and even just “the way I was”. Some OTC would ease but not correct my problems.
In two short weeks I am able to walk without my feet killing me. My pain has nearly been completely removed and I can even do knee squats again! I haven’t done those for over three years. I am so excited about what the end results will be – a life without all those discomforts. I’m not done with my treatment yet – just two weeks into it and I have a new outlook on my lifestyle. I will be continuing to come to Dr. Jeri. Everyone in her office is so caring and friendly. They are definitely a great team and make this experience a joy to be having. I will be keeping you posted as to my condition and am confident I will improve even more with treatment and time. Thank you to all at Capital Chiropractic!

Fibromyalgia
My doctor told me I would be in a wheelchair before long. I no longer suffer from Fibromyalgia.
-Marcia Zamora

I Had Grown to Live With the Pain
I was referred to Capital Chiropractic by my mom, who knew how much my back and side would hurt. I was always in pain and grew to live with it.
With being in pain and not having my back straight, I didn’t feel that comfortable in public and when wearing certain clothes. I thought I looked weird. ...read more
Painkillers never worked for me. I thought I was always going to be like this. As for how I looked, I wore certain clothes that would hide my imperfections.
After I saw Dr. Jeri, I finally had less pain and felt “straighter”. And since I have congestive heart failure, I can’t afford to get sick. Since I’ve been coming here, I haven’t had any colds, where normally I would have had at least 4 or 5 by now. Thank you!

Life is So Much Better
My name is Ruth May Cornelsen. I am 75 years of age. I know from experience that Chiropractic works. But it takes a knowledgeable, caring, dedicated doctor, as Dr. Jeri Anderson, to get real, lasting results.
When I came to Dr. Jeri Anderson, I had chronic, constant pain in my right shoulder, lower back, right hip and leg, and both feet. The headaches were the worst. Pain relievers did nothing to stop the pain. As anyone with chronic pain knows, it consumes every bit of energy, leaving the body tired, listless, and unable to function as God intended....read more
Dr. Jeri Anderson’s skillful application of her knowledge and experience (17 years and still expanding her abilities) with activator has truly ACTIVATED my body and my life. It feels like Dr. Jeri Anderson’s Chiropractic skill has removed years of the heavy old-age syndrome effect off my body. Life is so much better.
I can’t conclude without saying how wonderful Dr. Anderson’s staff is. Each of them helps to provide a very warm and friendly healing environment. It makes it a pleasure to get well at Capital Chiropractic. I look forward to my wellness visits. Thank you Dr. Jeri Anderson.

Kai's Story
Patient Condition:
Well, my crawl kind of pulled to the right a bit.
How the pain affected my life:
I wasn’t really in pain but I sure kept my mom up a lot at night!
Previous Treatment:
I tried chewing on things, drooling, rolling, but nothing seemed to help.
How I ended up at Cap Chiro:
I have to go everywhere with my mom. She handed me to Dr. Jeri, who laid me on this comfy, padded thing. After a couple of tickles, I felt like a new man!
Results of my care:
Not only do I sleep at night, but also everyone can hardly keep up with me all day!!

Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease
My baby was suffering from Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (Similar to Acid Reflux). He couldn’t pass gas, he had a hard time, and would cry a lot. We tried changing formula, massaging his stomach, and exercising. We brought him into Cap Chiro because Mommy was coming in too. He experienced relief after his adjustments. Thank God for Dr. Jeri!

Charcot Marie Tooth Disease
I have Charcot Marie Tooth Disease, a genetic neurological disorder that affects my muscle strength, function, and balance. When I walk, my feet drop causing me to lift my legs higher to walk without tripping.
Before my Chiropractic care with Capital Chiropractic I fell on a regular basis, sometimes weekly. Although I had no pain, my balance was seriously affected....read more
I have always used Chiropractic care, and seeing a neurologist brought no satisfaction. There was not any treatment or current medication for CMT.
A nurse where my husband worked referred us to Dr. Jeri. She received treatment there and was very please with her results.
I have been seeing Dr. Jeri for a year and a half. In that time I have felt centered and balanced. I am able to walk without watching my feet. Having that balance back has added a wonderful dimension to my life…mobility. I am eternally grateful for this. I have not fallen in months and months. I never imagined that I would feel so centered.

When I First Came in I Could Not Walk
I was injured at work and have a lower back injury. When it flares up it is hard to walk and move in a usual manner.
I had an MRI, Physical Therapy, and bad Chiropractic care at another office....read more
My father-in-law, Bob King referred me to Dr. Jeri. When I first came in I could not walk. Beth came out with the office chair to get me, and then I was in a wheel chair for the next week.
I am very pleased. I was able to walk after one week of care and am improving daily. I really like your office and the treatment I have received.

Osteoporosis and Headaches
I have osteoporosis and was having headaches due to a problem in my neck area. A friend highly recommended Dr. Jeri. I called the same day and made an appointment to see her that day. After a few visits my headaches began to subside and I was able to sleep, where before I had a problem sleeping....read more
Dr. Jeri has gone above and beyond to do whatever it takes to help keep the pain under control and better my health. She and her staff are sincere and very caring. My friend highly recommended Dr. Jeri and I highly, highly recommend Dr. Jeri.

I Had Shooting Pain Down My Legs
I had terrible low back pain with shooting pains down my legs. I also had headaches. It was such terrible pain that it affected my daily activities such as not being able to go for walks or pick up groceries. My daughter insisted that I see Dr. Jeri. Now I felt great! I walk without pain and have no headaches. Dr. Jeri is the absolute best chiropractor I have ever been to in my lifetime.
-Sally Lowry

No More Migraines!
Before I started seeing Dr. Jeri I would get migraines to the point I thought my head was going to explode. My hands would go numb and I would get this excruciating pain up my arms. I would have to leave work, putting my job on the line, because I couldn’t type or do anything due to the pain....read more
I went to my medical doctor and was sent to a neurosurgeon. I had an MRI and EMG tests. The neurosurgeon wanted to do surgery on my neck and my wrist. My father told me to take my test results to Dr. Jeri and get a consultation before having surgery. Dr. Jeri explained what was wrong and how chiropractic could take care of my problem. She started adjusting me and had me begin using a special type of traction at home.
I have no more migraines, no more numb hands, and no more pain in my arms. I feel so much better and I’m glad that I didn’t let the surgeon cut me up. Dr. Jeri has made such a difference in my everyday function. Due to my ability to physically do more, I have even lost weight!
-Debbie Myers

I Was One Fussy Baby
Two weeks after I was born, my Mom and I were rear-ended in our car. My Mom began seeing Dr. Jeri for her pain. I was one fussy baby and suffered from what my Mom said was colic. My Mom was also suffering from my colic! Dr. Jeri began adjusting us both. Now we are as happy as can be and feeling great!

I Am a Living Testimony
The year was 2006, and it seemed as though there would be no relief in sight in regards to my health issues. The doctors have known for years that I had a deteriorating disk in my back and severe leg and muscle spasms. The pain was so tremendous that often times I asked myself the question “Oh God, did I do something wrong?” I felt that I had never healed from the two prior car accidents that had occurred between 1996 and 1997. Just when I thought that I had recovered, I was struck with Auto-Immune Myeloradiculitis in 1998. But it doesn’t stop there; in 2004 I had another accident that fractured my tailbone. What else could go wrong....read more
The pain that I suffered affected every aspect of my life. I couldn’t do certain things with the family due to the discomfort of my tailbone. Sometimes the pain was so severe that it crippled me exercising, going on trips, and was a constant pain in my rear-end.
I had gone to physical therapy, aqua therapy, massage therapy, you name it I had it. The doctors told me that in the majority of cases with people of my age, the pain or discomfort would be something that I would have to get used to. I had x-ray upon x-ray, different opinions from 4 different doctors.
One of the members at my church was a chiropractor and she saw the pain I was in. She said that she thought that she could help me. I went to her for several months, but the results were small in regards to relief. As she continued treating me and saw that my symptoms were not getting better, she recommended Capitol Chiropractic, and spoke highly of Dr. Jeri Anderson.
I took her advice and went to Capitol Chiropractic. My first appointment with Dr. Anderson was professional and thorough. I felt from the minute I walked into the office, that God had placed me in the right place and the right time. Their kindness and patience with me was beyond belief. Dr. Jeri and her staff are some of the most professional people that I have ever met in the medical field. They go above and beyond to make you feel like you are part of a family. I went from being hardly able to walk or function to ninety percent better in all areas of my life. I was now able to relieve myself without as much pain as before. I could now sleep, and move with better agility. Of course I’m not completely healed, but I will continue to see Dr. Jeri weekly, because life is better with the treatments I have had. Things can only get better week after week with the superior care I’ve received at Capitol Chiropractic. Yes, I’ve seen other Chiropractors, but none have compared to the 20 plus years of experience I’ve received from Dr. Jeri. She knows her stuff. Even when she’s not available, she has a stand-in Dr. Juli who is a miracle worker also. Where else could you find a doctor in this century that would offer to come to your house and make adjustments to your body other than Dr. Jeri? She truly has what I call “the Midas Touch”. I would recommend anyone with any type problem such as: bone, orthopedic, back, leg, arm, shoulder, head, etc. to see Dr. Jeri. Dr. Jeri and staff, (including that “COLD PIECE OF WORK” Beth and Esther) thanks for helping me get my life back. God Bless you and your staff.

Better Quality of Life & No More Medications
When I was growing up, my mother was diagnosed with several conditions that greatly impacted her life and our family. I would see her in pain on a daily basis and there were days she was just so tired that she slept literally all day for days in a row. They say that when we grow up, we become our parents. This was my absolute worst fear. I never wanted to have to go through all that my mother has gone through in the last several years.
By September 2007, just days after I had turned 20 years old, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Hypothyroidism and several other conditions. The diagnosis was the realization of my worst fears. I was always just so tired and it was having a huge affect on my life. I was seeing a Rheumatologist and spending large sums of money on medications and vitamin treatments. At one point, I was taking upwards of 20 medicines, vitamins and minerals. Though my doctor was very good and on the edge using new and alternative treatments, he was able to help some, but not enough.
After more than a year with this doctor he was becoming just too expensive. While I was better than I was at the time of my diagnosis, my conditions would still flare frequently. These flares would hit hard and affect my school work and my personal life. I was even pushed out of a job because of my symptoms and the complications that come with them.
During this past winter, I was having many of my usual cold weather symptoms. I decided to go to the Downtown Sacramento ice rink with friends even though I knew I would likely be in a lot of pain because of the cold and wouldn’t be able to skate anyway. A friend joined us apologizing because she was running late. She had been to her chiropractor before meeting us. She gave a couple of us in the group Dr. Jeri’s card. I had been thinking about seeing a chiropractor for a while. My brother is an athlete and sees a chiropractor regularly. He always feels better after visiting his chiropractor. My friend also told me that Dr. Jeri had worked wonders for her.
I held on to the card and thought about it for a couple of weeks. After having another really bad day, I knew I had to find something and someone else to help me. I made my first appointment and am so glad I did. Dr. Jeri has taken me from a terrible mess back to nearly how I was before my symptoms started – in just a couple of months! I am even off all the medications I was taking! I don’t know how I lived through two years of pain and fatigue. I am doing things I literally thought I would never do again. My roommates have also noticed and remarked upon the vast difference they have seen in me since I started seeing Dr. Jeri. My one roommate has lived with me since before my diagnosis and cannot believe the difference she sees in me these past couple months.
There is no way I can adequately thank Dr. Jeri and the staff at Capitol Chiropractic for what they have done for me, for giving me the life I should have back.
