Julie L Lyles, DC

I have been going to Dr. Julie for many years now. I first met her at a work health fair. I had previously thought of chiropractors as suspect charlatans. But Dr. Julie asked me questions about my health condition, and then explained how spinal misalignment could be the cause of many (most) of my conditions. After seeing her for several visits, I noted great improvement in my chronic neck pain. I saw her about 3 times a week for 2 weeks, then cut back to 2, then to 1 and now I am on a maintenance program of once a month — or sometimes I go longer in between visits. She has given me loads of strengthening exercises that, when I do them, I don’t need to see her near as often.
One of the greatest results I experienced that I believe is also due to my chiropractic care is that I have fewer colds and flues — and it’s been that way for several years now! My allergies aren’t cured, but they are not as severe as they were prior to my Chiro care. I have gotten a bit lazy lately and have not been good about doing the spinal maintenance exercises and I got an upper respiratory thing that was going around this spring. So, I now know I need to get back in shape again. I also suffered a fall from a try at laser tag — a really nasty sprain in my hip — I mean a really bad one with bruising. I went to Dr. Julie right away. She was careful with my treatment and warned I may have to go to my medical doctor. She even said I should probably check him with, but stubborn me, I didn’t. But in less than two weeks, I am almost back to right again.
She is great with extremity adjustments. I had a weak right shoulder, that was chronically out of wack — I must have injured it and then kept it irritated from tugging on wheelbarrow loads of garden waste, or dragging luggage behind me while traveling, etc. She got it back in place for me and gave me several exercises to strengthen it. I can’t remember the last time it hurt and it used to hurt all the time.
But the help she gave me for my neck is what has really changed my life for the better. I can sleep again! And I can sit in front of my computer for hours again (though I shouldn’t!) without having to ‘pop’ my neck, or rub my neck, or stretch my neck or take a pain pill.
She is a caring person who really wants to help people and improve their lives. And, if she thinks you need it, she tells you to see a medical doctor. I go to her first for most of my sprains or pains — I don’t suffer to see if it will get better on its own any longer because I know a few adjustments from Dr. Julie will have me back to right again in no time.
My grown daughter had a chronic back pain that had sent her to a neurosurgeon for relief and she was told surgery was inevitable. He had done an epidural procedure on her that was disastrous. I asked Dr. Julie to see her while she was in town visiting for a holiday, and she was happy to — even though my daughter couldn’t become a regular patient because she lived out of town. But Dr. Julie knew how worried I was about her health — she is really a good friend too! My daughter was so skeptical. But Dr. Julie convinced her to try chiropractor care and even researched a doctor in her area. My daughter has finally found relief without surgery– she has to keep after her strengthening exercises, but I rarely ever hear her complain about her back — and if she does, she always says — It’s time to see the chiropractor again.
If you suffer from neck, back or even joint pain, I highly recommend Dr. Julie if you live in Louisville. But if you don’t see Dr. Julie, do some homework and find another chiropractor. Note, I don’t think all chiropractors do extremity adjustments, which is one reason I love Dr. Julie. Don’t suffer with chronic pain — I again know how it feels not to ache all the time — no more headaches after my neck got fixed either — at least hardly ever — I hardly ever get a sinus headache any more either.
She also has a couple of masseuse’s on staff who are great. I just had a foot scrub today which was wonderful. All of her staff are great — caring and professional. I can’t say enough — I consider Dr. Julie and chiropractic care a permanent part of my life that I am so grateful I discovered.
