Dr. Samuel Cooper
Difficulty swallowing
I first brought my eleven year old daughter, Lou Ann, to see Dr. Cooper on May 30, 2007. From infancy she had trouble swallowing which often led to choking. It was also very difficult to understand her speech. Before seeing Dr. Cooper, Lou Ann was examined and treated by medical doctors, speech therapists and physical therapists with little if any benefit, despite tremendous costs in the tens of thousands of dollars. After only 6 visits with Dr. Cooper in a little over 2 weeks, Lou Ann is now able to eat without choking. In addition, her speech has improved so that I am able to understand what she is saying much better.

Golf Game Improved, Pain Reduced, Posture Improved.
I had been experiencing debilitating pain in my lower back extending down my legs for a number of weeks prior to seeing Dr. Cooper in February of 2007. I was literally unable to walk more than 10 minutes on a level surface before having to stop and sit down for several minutes.

After taking and reviewing x-rays of my neck and spine, Dr. Cooper developed a plan to begin correcting the curvature of both. Within 3 visits I was pain-free but my neck and spine were still out of alignment so I elected to continue treatments. My posture has improved dramatically over the past several weeks. I can also now walk much farther, including 9 holes of golf up and down hilly terrain four times each weekend.
The improvement of my posture has had the added benefit of enabling me to hit the golf ball with greater accuracy cutting a significant number of strokes off my pre-treatment scores.
While Dr. Cooper makes no promises, in my case the proof is in the pudding!

Other Chiropractors told me surgery was my only option.
When I was 17-years-old I jumped off a moving freight train at about 55 miles per hour. I tucked and rolled and my neck hurt for about a week.
It was probably that episode that reversed the curve in my neck putting the weight of my head onto the discs in my neck for the next 21 years. Then, for 3 years I had occasional bouts of neck pain with numbness into my left hand.

On December 27, 2006 I woke up with constant pain in my lower neck, left shoulder, chest and forearm; experienced weakness in my left triceps; and tingling and numbness in my left hand. My sleep decreased by 95%. I could not stand or sit for more than 15 minutes, walk my dog, shovel snow, do the dishes, drive or work outside the home.
I saw four of the most respected doctors in Broome County including an orthopedist, a physiatrist and a chiropractor. They all told me I had 3 herniated discs in my neck, that I needed surgery, and that nothing else would help. The chiropractor's attempt was unsuccessful. The neurosurgeon agreed that I needed surgery but told me that my prognosis was poor to the point that he refused to do it.
I came to see Dr. Cooper on February 1, 2007. He told me that he was not sure that he could help me but explained why he felt his different approach might be worth a try. Dr. Cooper explained that only correcting the reversed curve in my neck and shifting the weight of my head onto a bony portion of my neck called the pillars, where it belongs, and off my discs would allow healing.
I had my first adjustment and session of traction immediately after my report of findings. Within only three days I was better than I had been before December 27th. I walked the dog, shoveled snow, did the dishes, drove and could sit and stand for much longer periods of time. My condition has steadily improved and I am now looking for work, newly confident that my body can take at least 20 hours per week of activity.

Numbness, pain, weakness in arms and hands
My friend Dot told me to come see if Dr. Cooper could help me after she and her daughter got great results with him. When I first came to Dr. Cooper I had frequent severe weakness, pain, tingling and numbness in my hands and arms most of the time; moderate to severe pain, numbness and stiffness in my legs, knees, hips, lower back, neck, chest and shoulders about half the time; I was tired about half of the waking day. My sleep was down 75% I avoided sports, could not walk on the uneven surface of my yard for more than ten minutes or sit long enough to watch a movie or do my household chores without increased pain. I avoided driving to visit my daughter because it hurt too much to sit in the car and I was not exercising because it hurt. Now my symptoms are either gone or reduced to occasional and minimal. I sleep well, exercise, drive without limitation and it seems like my hot flashes are less than they were.

Multiple Sclerosis
I have been under Dr. Cooper's care since May 14, 1999 and under the care of other chiropractors before that. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1984. I periodically hear from a friend in another area about a friend of hers that was no more progressed than I was ten years ago. He is now in a wheelchair. There are many things I do for myself to stop my MS from progressing and chiropractic has been very important. I have seen many chiropractors and Dr. Cooper is one of the best. He has helped me in so many ways. I still walk quickly, unassisted and have my vision. I think all people with MS should be chiropractic care.

Fibromyalgia and Digestive Problems, Depression and Pain Gone
I had been suffering for seven years with fibromyalgia. I had pain in my hips, knees, shoulders, neck, and my upper and lower back. I had many bad digestive problems, severe bloating and other symptoms that prevented me from living my daily life the way I should have been able to. I missed some days of work and my productivity at work was down. I avoided going out with my boyfriend at times as well as to the gym. I avoided sports and could not walk more than a half block without increased pain. I sometimes avoided household chores and was only able to sleep about half as much or as well as I should have. My insurance companies, my family, and I must have spent at least $50,000 on my seeing primary care medical doctors, orthopedists, psychologists and many other specialists with little if any benefit.

After eight visits in a little over a month with Dr. Cooper I have no pain, no stomach issues or depression, sleep well, and I have increased energy. I feel we have addressed the root cause of my problems and have not covered anything up. I finally feel I can live my life the way I want to.

Hearing Loss improved
Before I came to see Dr. Cooper I experienced severe lower back pain and could not stand up straight. I also had a hearing loss for about 10 years which a medical doctor could not help me with. After being treated by Dr. Cooper my hearing has increased immensely and the pain in my lower back has disappeared. I feel better than I have in years!
-Chris Starchok
Depression and Lethargy Gone!
I have been suffering from chronic neck, shoulder, and hip pain; also pain upon inhaling, lower back pain, depression, lethargy, and obesity. I began experiencing pain in 1988 and have suffered the other conditions, which were severe, throughout my lifetime, primarily from emotional causes. I also experienced trouble singing freely.

I had been treated by a nutritionist, massage therapist, psychiatrist, rheumatologist, otolaryngologist, pulmonologist, and pediatric orthopedist without results. Massage offered relief for short periods of time but the pain would always return and nothing else worked. I was referred to Dr. Cooper by a friend and have had wonderful results. My singing is much improved!! The pain, depression, and lethargy have been eliminated and I experienced a weight loss of 10 pounds the first week. My breathing is freer and my posture is much improved.
-Kasey Stewart
Allergies and Headaches Gone!
When I first came to see Dr. Cooper I had constant lower back pain, my legs were tired, and I felt tired over all. I also had periodic headaches and severe allergy attacks. I’ve been treated by other doctors but I have never had results as strong or as quick as I have had with Dr. Cooper. I haven’t had an allergy attack or headache since I’ve seen Dr. Cooper. I’ve lost weight and started exercising. I feel so much better.
-Sharon Humphrey
Ocular Migraines Gone
Before I came to see Dr. Cooper my neck, back, hips, and knees hurt to the point of taking six Tylenol per day. Everyday I had a headache, neck-ache, and ocular migraines (this is like lightning zigzags from one corner of the eye to the other eye, causing blurred and dark vision).
...read more »
I went to three doctors thinking I had a serious eye problem. All three of them said that the ocular migraines were normal in some people and not to worry. (It wasn’t their eyes!)
Since coming to Dr. Cooper my headaches have disappeared, my ocular migraines are gone, my hips and knees are better, and my stiffness isn’t painful.
-Judia Warner
Auto Accident
I had been involved in a rear-end collision automobile accident. The accident had injured my neck and lower back, throwing my head forward and hyper-extending my back, causing pain doing my normal activities. I was advised by my doctor that physical therapy might help the muscle pain. I also went to see a chiropractor, Dr. Cooper.
I am very pleased with not only the physical improvement of my condition but also with the education which I received. Dr. Cooper always clearly explains the “what” and “why” of what needs to be done. Dr. Cooper has also gone beyond helping me with my back. In addition, he has provided valuable nutritional information to guide me to healthy living and keeping a healthy back. Thanks!

Sleeping Better; Chiropractic Worked When Physical Therapy Failed
I had recently been bucked off a horse and in a car accident. Combined with several old injuries, I had severe leg, back, and neck pain. I could hardly walk, stand, sit or lay down for any length of time. It interrupted my whole life.
I was taking pain medications and I tried chiropractic therapy about 10 years ago but nothing really worked. I tried to just deal with the pain.
After three visits with Dr. Cooper I was sleeping a lot better and walking normal again. I was also able to pick up and carry my 2-year-old son. I got awesome results. Thanks Dr. Cooper!
-Kim Henry
Amazing and Unbelievable Results!
I had chronic neck, hip, shoulder, and upper to middle back pain. I had mild conditions for approximately two years but within the last year I had chronic and unbearable discomfort.
I tried other chiropractors and self-healing treatments such as hot packs. Since coming to Dr. Cooper I have had amazing and unbelievable results. I never thought I would be able to not feel the pain.
-Danielle Audick
Headaches Gone!
I had headaches and back and neck pain for 18 years. They were severe for nine years. I had seen a medical doctor and was living on Tylenol and Excedrin but I was still in pain. Co-workers noticed I was never smiling.
The pain was gone after my first treatment from Dr. Cooper and I have been virtually pain free without drugs ever since. I have had outstanding improvement.
-Paula Kundrata
More Strength in Arms
Everything hurt … my neck and back for 10 years, my right arm was numb from my fingers to my elbow for two years. Being an entrepreneur and a glass blower/mechanic, I constantly have to use and abuse my body; especially my forearm, wrist, and back.
My first experience with a chiropractor was with Dr. Cooper. After just one adjustment I could feel some numbness leave my right arm and fingers. My back, neck, arm and fingers are actually better for the first time in years. There is still some numbness but it is better than before I came to see Dr. Cooper. I have more strength in my arms than I have had in years.
-Tommy Gazdik
Drugs and Pain Gone
When I first came to Dr. Cooper I was having back spasms. They began 3 or 4 years ago. The spasms ranged from very severe to just stiffness. I had gone to the walk-in for help. They said there was nothing they could do other than pain medication and muscle relaxers. The results I have gotten since being treated by Dr. Cooper have been… NO PAIN!
-Nathan Irons
Severe Lower Back Pain
I was suffering from severe lower back pain. It began in April 1995 when I injured my back at work. The pain was extreme. I couldn’t sit, stand, or lie down without being in pain. I tried rehab but it didn’t help and I wasn’t getting any better. I suffered for four months before I saw Dr. Cooper. After 3 visits I was as good as new. My results were unbelievable. Thanks Dr. Cooper.
-Dot Peruzzi
Gallstones
I was advised to have surgery to remove my gallbladder but I have a history of blood clots and wish to avoid surgery. After several painful attacks of my gallbladder Dr. Cooper placed me on a supplement to help dissolve a stone. After just 3 weeks on the supplement I have had no attacks or symptoms. When I first came to Dr. Cooper I had constant headaches. I was taking up to 12 Tylenol per day. I had been to the emergency room at least 30 times in the last eight years for groin pain that I thought was attributed to my Thrombosis from a past surgery. I had several Doppler Studies that never showed any signs of a new clot. I was going out of my mind to find relief for this pain. Then during one attack Dr. Cooper did a manipulation that immediately relieved the pain. I had one more bout with that pain and again Dr. Cooper successfully relieved it. I have not had any visits to the emergency room since and I no longer worry about a clot. I have saved a lot of time and money. Thank you Dr. Cooper.

Lost 50 Pounds and My lower Back Pain
Before I came to see Dr. Cooper I had extreme lower back pain. I could not walk without pain. I found it hard to function in daily activities. I tried pain medication along with physical therapy. Since I started coming for office visits 3 times a week, now down to once a week, and exercising regularly I have been losing weight … 50 pounds! Now, I exercise regularly with NO lower back pain.
-Emory Titus
More Energy - Less Pain
My left hip was aching in the bone all the way to my knee. It was so bad that some nights I could not sleep. My back was aching badly as well. A physician referred me to a sports clinic, where I was treated. My results there were not satisfactory.
The results that I have had with Dr. Cooper have been outstanding! For years I have had backaches and bones hurting so badly. For the first time in at least 8 years I at last feel tremendous! Now, I am able to sleep with so little pain. Because of this I have lots of energy. This all does a lot for a general sense of well being.
-Alva Pencek
I am staying the course because I see results.
I’ve had 35 years of chiropractic care. I was not satisfied with the other chiropractic care I had most recently been receiving. I had pain across the shoulders and neck, could not look over to see what was behind me when I was driving, had back pain, was bent forward, and could not straighten up or bend over.
Dr. Cooper’s treatments are radical but they work. It’s not easy but it’s effective. My back is straighter and my neck is pain free for the first time in memory. I am staying the course because I see results.
-Tom Duffy
Sinuses Improved
For about one and a half years I experienced headaches, lower back pain, and sinus problems. I tried allergists, sinus surgery, and pills. The results I have had with Dr. Cooper are… very few headaches, fewer sinus problems, and overall fewer pains.
-Steve Wells
Seizures Gone - Grade Up!
I had been diagnosed as having Hypoadrenia. After several years of having seizures lasting up to 45 minutes after which I could not sleep for several hours, I could not attend school. My grades were very poor. Medical doctors were prescribing drugs that had possibilities of very severe side effects. Dr. Cooper recommended a supplement and when I had taken it on a regular basis, the seizures stopped. I missed less and less days of school. Now my grades are rising and I feel so much better. Thank you, Dr. Cooper!
