Angele Jackson

I had lower back pain for 30+ years.  When the pain became severe and incapacitated me I would go to my Doctor.  He would prescribe muscle relaxers and pain medication.  This would reduce the severe pain so that I could resume my daily activities.  However, the pain never went completely away.
In April I was on my way home from running errands.   I planned to leave on vacation the next day.  My back was killing me.  I was going to do a lot of driving and was dreading the idea of spending my vacation in pain.  I had picked up my mail and there was a coupon laying on the passenger seat for Crosby Chiropractic Center. I noticed it about the same time I was passing the office.  I decided to stop and see if I could get some relief before I left on vacation.
Needless to say, the adjustment helped tremendously.  When I returned from vacation Dr. Rosenbaum reviewed my x-rays with me.  I now understand why I have back and neck pain.  The neck pain is something that I believed came from sitting at a computer all day.   I basically accepted it just like I did my back pain as normal for me.
Today it is amazing to me that I am seldom in pain.  I like the helpful and friendly atmosphere at Crosby Chiropractic Center.  I also appreciate that I don’t have to wait a long time.  I like the patient card scanning system that pulls up patient records immediately.  This seems to be very time saving. 
I recommend Chiropractic care any time I hear some one complaining of back or neck pain.   I say “Have you tried going to a Chiropractor and getting an adjustment”.  I tell them my story and recommend Dr. Rosenbaum if they live in this area.

I started seeing Dr. Rosenbaum because I had alot of pain in my back and left leg and foot. The pain hurt so bad, it was hard to walk, it felt like it was burning. I couldn't hardly do my work or even shop. Now, thanks to Dr. Rob I am so much better. There is still a little pain when I overdo; but it is not at all as bad as it was.
I enjoy going for my adjustments very much. Everyone is so kind and friendly. They really care and make you feel very comfortable. Thanks to everyone at Dr. Rob's office.

I came to Dr. Rosenbaum with pain in my lower back, shoulders and arm. I was stooped over to one side, and really hurting. Dr. Rob had me straightened up in no time. A few weeks later, while I was in for my regular adjustment, I saw a new patient stooped over and hobbling like I had been, and it reminded me again of the dramatic change that had taken place. I felt sorry for them, but knew they'd be walking upright again, soon.
I look forward to my chiropractic visits not only because it makes me feel better physically, but the people there really help lift my spirits. They are really friendly and helpful, and I believe that they truly care about me, too. Thank you, Dr. Rob and staff!

 

Tanya Oliver 

 I have been a patient of Dr. Rosenbaum since 1995. I was suffering from severe neck and back pain when I first came to Dr. Rosenbaum. He helped me tremendously and has continued to help me over the years.
My son also received adjustments from Dr. Rob when he was a toddler and absolutely loved him. Dr. Rob is really great with kids too!
Recently I was diagnosed with two herniated discs. I was in a great deal of pain, had numbness in my leg and walked with a limp. Dr. Rob has been treating me for about ten weeks now and I am pain free and walking normal again!
Dr. Rob is a wonderful doctor who truly cares about his patients. His staff is always very nice and helpful as well. His whole office atmosphere is therapeutic as well as professional. I highly recommend Crosby Chiropractic Center to everyone! 

 

Juan and Sonia Torres

Wow, we could not believe the progress we had made! We never realized how much pain we had endured until we came to see Dr. Rob. During most of Sonia`s teenage years she had to endure numerous back spasms and back pain. She never thought she would ever feel any relief. She just took it for granted that she would live with the pain for the rest of her life. About two months later we went on vacation with our children for about one week. We did not even realize how much pain we had been dealing with until we returned. Our backs were aching and Sonia started to feel that "twitch" that signaled a back spasm. We immediately went to Crosby Chiropractic Center for an adjustment. We could not believe that an adjustment was what Sonia needed to head off the spasm.
 Our children love to get their backs adjusted by Dr. Rob. Their giggles as he is doing the procedure is infectious. You can hear their laughter down the hallway. When they emerge, the waiting clients are smiling or even laughing. It sounds rather cliche`, but it does bring harmony and happiness to our home. Our oldest son has autism and Dr. Rob works very well with him. Our three children enjoy coming weekly and beg if we do not come early in the week.
 The staff is wonderful and always puts all of us at ease. They all seem, to genuinely care about our progress and want to see improvements.  It is a pleasure to be under the care of such personable people.

Kimberlie Hill

I had been suffering with lower back pain for several years, even after having surgery for a herniated disk. I was also having alot of pain in my neck and shoulders. My son and my husband had been treated by Dr. Rosenbaum in the past and they kept urging me to go see him but I was very skeptical because I`d been to a couple of Chriopractors in the past and wasn`t imressed. For the past 6 months or so, my very best friend - Kim Hinson, kept urging me to go see Dr. Rob, so I began considering it.
 After watching my mom suffer for the past few years with severe neck pain, I decided to take her to Dr. Rob since the medical doctors were only treating her with pain medication which wasn`t giving her much relief. She couldn`t get up and around in the mornings without waiting for the pain med`s to begin working. After her first visit few visits with Dr. Rob she was able to get up in the mornings without heading straight to medicine cabinet (Praise the LORD). Dr. Rob was through with her exam and enlightened us to so much of what was going on with her body that we were unaware of. Dr. Rob is very detailed in explaining his findings in your exam and his plan of treatment. He wants you to completely understand what is going on with your body and how he plans to correct it. He doesn`t make you feel rushed when you have questions or concerns or don`t understand something, he takes the necessary time and measures it takes to make you understand. This is something you rarely find in a medical doctor.
 I was so impressed with Dr. Rob`s care for my mom that I decided to see him for my own problems. I am so thankful that I did, I also learned some things about my body that I was not aware of. His treatments are very gentle and I`m no longer nervous about having adjustments. Dr. Rob and Dr. Long take the fear completely away. My mom and I feel very comfortable going for our treatments. My body is now pain free and I am able to do alot more yard work than I was doing before I began treatments. I`m an active person and I get depressed when pain gets in my way, needless to say, I haven`t been depressed since I began treatments.
 After I began my treatments, I decided to send my daughter for an exam and I`m so thankful I did. Dr. Rob found that she had the beginnings of my lower back problems, now he is adjusting her to prevent the same type of damage.
 Another very important factor to me is that the office staff respects my time. I`ve always had a problem with doctor`s making appointments and then you sit for hours waiting to see them. At Dr. rob`s office they realize your time is as valuable as thiers. I`ve never waited over 10 minutes for my treatment, which means a great deal to me.
 My mom, my daughter and I look forward to going for our adjustments. The atmosphere in this office is so warm and relaxing, the entire staff is very professional and extremely friendly. I can`t say enough to express the positive experience received there, it`s something a person just has to experience for them self in order to understand. This is an awesome, awesome place.
 Dr. Rosenbaum, Dr. Long and staff - Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a positive outcome of treatment.

Andrea Pennington

About a year ago, I started having recurring shoulder strain on my right side. I assumed it was caused by the repetitive pulling of heavy equipment loads at my job. I would “baby” it and try moving things in different ways. It would get “better” for a while and then gradually get worse. I needed to find a permanent solution, but knew surgery would require too long a recovery period. I simply couldn’t afford to miss that much work. I had previously tried chiropractic elsewhere for the same ailment, but with limited results. I moved to Crosby in late March and got a Crosby Chiropractic flier with my “welcome to the neighborhood” packet. I decided to take advantage of the coupon for a free initial visit. After all, what harm could it do? I made an appointment. A couple of anomalies showed up on the x-rays and I agreed to accept the treatment program. This was huge step for me. In the past, I would go to an appointment or two, have an adjustment or two, get discouraged and quit. The welcoming friendly atmosphere of the office, the professionalism and genuine caring of Dr. Rosenbaum and the commitment of the staff to help each person individually made it virtually impossible for me to give up. I stuck with the treatment program set up for my case and can honestly say that I no longer experience any shoulder pain, even though I do the exact same tasks at work. I was hooked!
I read about the connection between asthma and chiropractic. My son, then four, had been diagnosed with borderline asthma at two. He was given prescription medication and steroid breathing treatments by his pediatrician. I didn’t like this, but knew of no alternative. Dr. Rob started see Cameron in November. By Christmas he was off all medications and no longer had asthma.
I have made chiropractic care at Dr. Rosenbaum’s office my family’s number one choice in healthcare. I am so grateful for all that he and his fabulous staff have done for me, my children, my neighbor and my friend. They have made such a positive impact on each one of us.
Many Thanks to you All

Theresa Goins

Hi, my name is Theresa Goins. I am a home school mom of four. My husband came to see Dr. Rosenbaum because of his cluster headaches and back pain. Being a Deputy for Harris County he has a lot of stress. After the first visit, his head aches was gone and some of his back pain. Having back pain and head aches myself, we knew this is what we needed.
Even though I was skeptical about having my back adjusted, I went. After x-rays and my assessment, I thought for sure my adjustment was going to hurt, but to my surprise, it was pain free. I remember, after the first time I was aligned, I got in my truck and actually had to adjust my rear view mirror because I was taller.
Since coming to Dr. Rob I feel better, I don’t have any head aches, I have more energy, more flexibility and for the first time in a long time I can go through my day pain free and allergy free. I had dealt with allergy problems fro years. Usually, by Christmas time every year I had more than one upper respiratory infection followed by laryngitis. I was at the point of having to take injections at the allergist, but now, Praise God, there is no need for it. I can focus on all the other things in my life instead of having to take medicine to control the pain, on top of always feeling run down. I couldn’t understand how adjusting my back could help my headaches and allergies, but it did. We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
After praying for a year for the pain to be gone, God answered when he sent my family to Crosby Chiropractic. I realized I could have the quality of life God has intended. Thanks to all the staff, my life has changed immensely. They all work together like a fine oiled machine and the office atmosphere is very warm and relaxing.
Since this has helped us so much and affected out lives in such a positive way I am confidently bringing my children here as well. My family has been so blessed to receive this care. Thanks Dr. Rob!

For the past 5 years, I have been run through so many doctors offices that I felt like cattle. Every doctor had a different diagnosis. Every treatment came with many addictive medicines. I have had 4 surgeries with no change to my health. I went in for headaches and came out addicted to pain medication. After putting myself through rehab, I was very nervous about going to any doctors. My husband said lets just try a chiropractor to see if you can get some relief. I opened the phonebook, read through many offices and chose Dr. Rob, because his ad seemed to point to my problems. Thanks to my husbands advice, we made a great decision. I prayed for just a little relief, what I’ve gotten is days at a time with no pain at ALL! Thank you Dr. Rob, your staff, and my wonderful husband for not letting me give up. Thank you for giving me a future that finally looks bright.

My lower back pain experience became almost unbearable and was getting progressively worse to the point of being un-manageable. Lower back pain had escalated to the point where I was lying around and had become over-weight. I was not the optimistic and energetic person that was a part of my make-up.
One Am in late October 2006 I was complaining about back pain while at Jerry’s auto Repair and the receptionist (Jeannie) said “my husband has been a patient at Crosby Chiropractic and he is fine now”. Previously I knew about IDD Therapy but knew of no one in the Humble area who was using this as a part of treatment. Sure I had been to doctors, had x-rays, an MRI, and then another x-ray by my family doctor. The long and short of it is I continued the weight gain and has quit my daily walk routine. My son is in the fitness business in California () and he encouraged me to join a health club, lose some weight and try to get fit.
There was no option for me as at my young/old age 74, I did not want to consider surgery having had a cervical operation about 35 years ago due to auto accidents. My initial evaluation and x-rays showed the problem was clearly disc degeneration and it was also discovered that the left leg was 5/16” shorter than the right. Many years of my body trying to adjust and compensate for this probably was caused largely by the auto accident when I was 10 years old, breaking both legs and cracking the pelvis bone. My spine was a mess and so I began the IDD Therapy. Nothing was evident until about half-way through I began to notice the pain was not there all of the time and I was able to do more things at QLS Fitness. Before and after x-rays were taken of the spinal column and it is truly amazing the difference and improvement shown after IDD Therapy.
I am still under weekly adjustments. The combination of treatment, daily work-outs at QLS with resultant weight loss and my determination to get better has already marked results. Additionally, I have just completed reading (one chapter daily) “THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE” and currently have started formulating what else I need to do to get younger even as I age because all this has made me a different more tolerant person. I no longer have doubts about not getting better.
Through all this Dr. Rob and his staff at Crosby Chiropractic Center have been most co-operative with my appointments and I look forward to my weekly schedule. For me all this is working. Now I look forward to the day when I can play golf again.

I, like most people, waited until the pain was so bad that it hurt to even walk. I wasn’t keen on going to my family doctor who could only offer temporary relief through medication. It was my husband who first suggested that I come see “Dr. Rob” (as he is called by my husband). He had been coming to see Dr. Rob about once a month for quite some time. Because of the pain I was in, I decided to give it a try . Within the first month of treatment, most of the pain was gone. I was feeling 85% better.
In addition to my lower back pain, I was also suffering from Restless Leg Syndrome (R.L.S.) and I was not sleeping well. Since coming to see Dr. Rob, both my lower back and R.L.S. are doing 100% better and I’m even able to enjoy running on the tread mill at the gym again. Plus I’m sleeping at night again.
I, like so many people, believe that God sent me to Dr. Rob so that He could use Dr. Rob and his gift of chiropractic (which is from God) and compassion as an instrument of healing.
I would and I have recommended Dr. Rob and his staff to friends and family. It’s a shame that so many people are unaware of the benefits of chiropractic care. The atmosphere in Dr. Rob’s office is very peaceful and comforting for all who come. The staff is always friendly, understanding and makes everyone feel welcome as you enter the office.

I had suffered from neck pain and stiffness for 10+ years. It had gotten so bad that I could hardly turn my head at all, and my life was beginning to suffer because it had become constant. My husband told some people at work about it and they recommended Crosby Chiropractic Center because they had been helped tremendously by getting regular adjustments. Then, almost as if a sign, I received the pamphlet in the mail. My insurance covered part of it so I figured, “Why not?”
I had always been skeptical about Chiropractic. I believed all the myths about it. I was nervous about having someone even touching my neck, much less moving it around. I went in for my initial visit anyway and was impressed by how friendly and personable the ladies were, like a big family. Dr. Rob was very patient, knowledgeable and answered every question I had (which was quite a few).
I have since been coming regularly for the last 2 months. My pain is almost completely gone, and I am amazed at the range of motion I now have. I feel better than I have in a long time, and I’m committed to continue coming so I can improve even more. I’m very grateful to Dr. Rob and the staff of Crosby Chiropractic Center for their help, patience, and smiles at every visit. They’re the best!

  I started seeing Dr. Rosenbaum after I was in a car wreck earlier this year. Basically, it caused severe headaches, problems with my neck and shoulders, as well as with my back and side, pain in my legs and numbness in my hands. Now after three months of adjustments I have mobility in my neck, my headaches are virtually gone, my leg pain is gone and I have numbness only a few times a week. Thanks to Dr. Rosenbaum and his care, I have gotten better and am nearly 100%. He is thorough, gentle and caring and is awesome with his hands. He has done so well that I brought my mom to see him. His staff is wonderful! Every single lady in the office is friendly, helpful and crazy, just like me!
Thanks Doc.
I wish you Great Blessings

I am so thankful that the lord directed me to Crosby Chiropractic Center. I have been going to a Chiropractor in Houston for 9 years, in and out of back pain and right leg pain. I first heard about the IDD technology from my daughter in Jasper. Then my daughter in Florida saw it on television and my daughter from the Beaumont area also found out about it. Then the little local paper came out and I saw and read the article about Crosby Chiropractic. Dr. Rosenbaum`s advertisement was my fourth confirmation that I was to pursue this new lead.
I was in much pain but have improved so much for which I am so thankful. The office is a joy to come to. All of their laughter and joy of being a part of helping others feel better is a joy. Dr. Rob is so gentle and caring that his whole office has that caring and thoughtfulness. Thank you, Dr. Rob, Mary Helen, Stephanie and Monica.

I was referred to Dr. Rosenbaum by a guy that works with my fiance. I can remember the first day my fiance and I walked in the office. I was very pleased with how nice, calm and relaxed the office was. The employees as well as Dr. Rosenbaum are just so pleasant and take care of you like they really appreciate your business. All of them care for you and make you feel welcomed. I really appreciate how Dr. Rosenbaum sits and listens to your problems.
Since I have been coming here, I have been feeling so much better. My pain is not as bad as it used to be before I found help. Mornings when I leave here I have a big smile on my face because he says those magic words to me that are like music to my ears, "You`re adjusting very well." I have never met anyone in my lifetime that actually cares about your well being as much as Dr. Rosenbaum does. He goes that extra mile into getting you back on that path to good health. I would like to say to him as well as his staff, "Thank you so much for making my getting back to health such a pleasure." I would most definitely recommend others to come here.
