By the time I was 22, I had
regular stomach aches, always felt tired in the mornings regardless of
how long I had slept, and always got sick with colds or strep throat.
I had suffered from painful menstrual cramps from a young age and doctors
suspected Endometriosis. It seemed like I was regularly in the dentist’s
office for cavities despite good dental hygiene. I dealt with these issues
regularly and always told myself things like, “I have a sensitive
stomach,” and “I just need more sleep than most people.”
I never thought any of these things were related, or dealt with them beyond
Pepto Bismol and Motrin IB.
In November of 2005, three months before my 23rd birthday, doctors decided
to remove my tonsils. Recovery from this surgery took about 6 weeks and
included two trips to the emergency room for dehydration. My body didn’t
handle the pain medication well at all and took almost five times the
regular recovery time for an adult.
The following December, doctors decided to do a laparoscopy to confirm
and stage my Endometriosis. I was already in stage 2. Again, I took much
longer to recover from this surgery than most, and was going through a
lot of pain and emotional stress.
In between dealing with the recovery process for both of these surgeries,
I was still in the dentist regularly, taking antibiotics for other illnesses,
and taking Pepto Bismol daily. Getting out of bed in the morning was almost
painful and I would “black out” almost every time I stood
up from a sitting position.
Finally, I could take no more and enlisted the help of Dr. Craig Mueller.
He analyzed my blood work and conducted a Meridian Stress Assessment to
decide which natural supplements would best rebalance my body. He concluded
that after years of being a type A personality and pushing my body to
the max, I was suffering from adrenal fatigue. It was causing all of my
symptoms and wearing down my immune system. By getting to the root of
the problem, all of my other health issues began to subside almost immediately.
All of this was done without traditional medication, and I have never
felt better.
Before seeing Dr. Mueller, I was treating each
illness as a separate issue instead of looking at the big picture and
getting to the root of it. I credit him completely with my newfound health
and quality of life.
Thanks Dr. Mueller!

Gary Duechle
 Gary
Duechle has been a patient in our office since 1990. He had been in an
automobile accident in 1974 which resulted in a broken neck. This condition
resulted in limited cervical rotation, and chronic pain and stiffness.
Gary has worked with two neurosurgeon’s and a pain management specialist
for a C 1-2 fusion and for pain management.
A colleague had referred Gary to our office and he has been seeing Dr.
Koziej and Dr. Mueller. He has found “excellent maintenance of range
of motion and control of pain since coming here”.
“The laser treatment has significantly helped with pain following
sub talar joint dislocation in May 2004. The doctors have given me very
good stretching exercises for various physical strains and pains”.

Deborah Walker
 Deborah
Walker was no stranger to Functional Imaging of Kentucky. Many years ago,
she had been a patient in our office after a friend had referred her due
to an auto accident. When she was involved in another auto accident, Deborah
returned.
“The reason I came here again was because many years ago when I
first came to see Dr. Mueller, he didn’t give me any medication
for the problem. He fixed the problem and didn’t cover up the pain
with drugs. I got better then and I am getting better this time, too”.
Recently, Deborah was driving her car and had stopped at a red light.
A car hit her from behind. Her neck and shoulders were hurting.
“Days after the accident, my neck and shoulders were hurting me
so much that I couldn’t cut my grass or work in my flower garden.
I love working in my garden but just didn’t feel well enough to
do the activities I usually do”.
“Dr. Brent Furnish, DC has taken care of me since I have been coming
here and I feel so Much Better! My neck and upper shoulders feel so much
better that I have been working in my garden again”.
~ Deborah Walker
Pat Hammer
 Pat
Hammer came to our office with neck stiffness and numbness in his shoulder
and fingers. He had gradual pain from his neck to shoulder and hands.
He was frustrated with the numbness and had difficulty doing some physical
exercises and found that it interfered with performing routine household
duties.
He had tried physical therapy and also gone to another chiropractor. But
he continued to look for more permanent relief.
Mr. Hammer has been seeing Dr. Brent Furnish for almost four months and
has found that the laser therapy is effective combined with adjustments
and electrical and neurological stimulus.
“The neck pain and stiffness is gone. The numbness in my shoulder
is gone and I have a small amount of numbness in my fingers. With Dr.
Furnish my problem is being treated at the root cause versus symptoms
treatment!”

Lori Bergman
 Lori
Bergman’s feet hurt her so much that she could not walk without
pain. It got so bad that she had to hold onto something to walk. She had
trouble standing up after sleeping. She didn’t want to do anything
that required walking.
Because she is a Certified Medical Assistant, this was a serious problem.
Her job required her to be on her feet a lot!
Lori had been to a chiropractor and two podiatrists looking for help.
The only relief she got was from cortisone shots in her feet, but that
was relief for only a short time.
Lori saw our ad in the newspaper and decided to give us a try. “Dr.
Koziej was very understanding. He is concerned about your health”.
Lori had the Aviceena laser treatment on her feet. After laser treatment
the foot pain was gone.
“The Staff at Functional Imaging is concerned about improving your
health”.

Nick Linares
Dr. Mueller saved my young teenage son's life. There's
just no other way to say it. Over a period of just a few months, Dr. Mueller
guided my son from the depths of out-of-control, extreme mood swings;
aggressive, confrontational and outrageous behaviors; apathy; failure
at school; social rejection and isolation; depression; ever-increasing
doses of prescription drugs; and pediatricians, therapists, psychologists
and psychiatrists who mis-diagnosed him, and then just gave up on him,
to the upbeat, happy, kind, caring, well-mannered, healthy, successful
kid he is today. He has remained off of prescription drugs for almost
two years and continues to succeed in all aspects of his life, including
school, music, scouts, friends and family.
Words cannot begin to express the relief and gratitude
my family and I have for Dr. Mueller's knowledge, insight, experience,
and kindness.
My son says it like this, “Dr. Mueller listened
to me and he respected me. The way he approached me really grabbed my
attention and made me focus on what I was being taught, and he really
helped me realize what my problems were and how I could fix them. He adjusted
my neck once, did a biofeedback test so I would know what I was sensitive
to, he showed me how to change and pay attention to what I eat and drink,
and then he prescribed some supplements. But most important he taught
me about myself and what was going on in my body, and what I needed to
do to keep my mind and my body healthy."

Susan Carter
When a friend referred Susan Carter to our office, she was having trouble
focusing. At work she could not concentrate and would lose track of what
she was doing. Her sugar would drop and she would get the shakes, feeling
confused. “I always felt hurried; my hip was also giving me problems”.
“I got tired of my Doctors not really listening to me and their
only answer was medication. I came here hoping to get off my medication
and for someone to help me without taking drugs.”
Her primary care physician gave her Paxil which she took for only 3 months.
Another doctor prescribed Glugohage which she took for about 2 years.
“I started feeling worse though when I started taking the Glugohage”.
Her doctor also wanted to give her cortisone shots for her hip which is
never did.
“After three months of treatment I feel calm and I can concentrate,
I don’t have the shakes. I don’t feel hurried like I used
to and my hip feels great!”
“I feel so much better and I think it has made a huge difference
in the way I feel and think and live my life.”

Louise Collins
 Louise
Collins has been visiting chiropractors since she was 21; she is now 61,
and feels her monthly appointments are like taking care of your car. To
keep your car in good working order, you must stay on top of your maintenance!
Collins has been a patient a little under a year, but through out her
treatment time, she believes the Full Body scan helped pin point areas
needing treatment and the Class IV laser has helped alleviate pain in
her knees. Louise’s Infrared results were able to confirm rising
pancreas problems, and in April she had the area checked out to find she
in fact had an acid reflex problem.
As the Infrared results brought knee concerns to Dr. Mueller’s attention,
he suggested Collins to follow through with orthopedic services, her visit
confirmed arthritis.
Services received and suggested during care at Functional Imaging have
made a tremendous difference in Collins lifestyle; her favorite outcome
from Dr. Mueller’s suggestions are the results she has seen and
felt through the Blood work and supplements.
“With out Chiropractic, I couldn’t
Hit it and Get it!”

Susan Roach
“When you don’t feel well, you don’t
enjoy life as much”, says Susan Roach.
Susan has had neck problems for as long as she can remember. She noticed
that her TMJ and ears feeling clogged began when her dental problems began
about five years ago. “The number of doctors, dentists, and chiropractors
I have seen are too many to list.
“When I was referred to Functional Imaging of Kentucky, Dr. Mueller
and Dr. Furnish used adjustments, nutritional supplements, ultra sound
and laser treatments which have been very beneficial”.
“Dr. Furnish’s knowledge of the neurological system is amazing.
He is open to all questions and takes his time to make sure that you understand.
He is so nice and friendly”.
“I had been having trouble with my left eye. I felt I wasn’t
seeing well out of it. I had new glasses and attributed the problem to
that. I even had my glasses re-made with no improvement. When I had my
first appointment with Dr. Mueller and Dr. Furnish, I never commented
about my eye problem, but as soon as they saw me, they both said they
noticed my left eye was drooping.
I was given eye exercises to do as well as the office treatment and my
vision is okay now! My ears are more open and clear, my neck feels better
than it ever has and my jaw is improving with each visit.

Rose Hadley
 Rose
Hadley used to travel a lot. She did all of her house and yard work. When
she had pain in her hip 7 ½ years ago, she went to her chiropractor
who referred her to an orthopedic surgeon. He replaced her hip. After
she had a hip replacement she had to move to a patio home because she
couldn’t continue to do all the things she used to.
When her back and legs began to bother her, she
saw our ad in the Courier Journal and decided to visit us at Functional
Imaging of Kentucky. She first met with Dr. Furnish. “Dr. Furnish
is great. He is very patient and kind. Rose has continued with Dr. Koziej
and Class IV Laser treatment. “My legs are beginning to feel better.”
