Testimonials
Entering into perimenopause has presented me with an interesting mix of surprises. Suddenly I felt as though my sugars were unstable and I experienced phantom urinary tract infections and more. I didn’t realize that any of my peculiar symptoms might be linked to perimenopause until I went to see Dr. Jurica.
I also had been seeing a terrific chiropractor for 5 years who was helping me deal with a consistent pain in the same spot in my back which recurred like clockwork.
It wasn’t until I went to see Dr. J and tried to tell him that I had the same pain in the same spot all the time and he indicated that I didn’t need to put up with that. Wow, new concept to find out that it wasn’t normal to never solve a back problem. From that day forward that consistent pain disappeared. He was also remarkable in being able to show me that I could manage a lot of my digestive issues simply by applying pressure and massaging acupressure points.
He also taught me about tapping and the EFT(emotional freedom technique).
He seemed intent on seeing me less as opposed to more. In other words, he wasn’t reading the latest version of “How to be a rich Dr. and keep your patients totally hooked.”
He informed me that with his total mind/body approach we would be also be practicing preventative medicine and decreasing the risk of serious illnesses in my body by lowering stress, balancing hormones, and honing in on inflammation and problem areas that may have flipped out of balance.
Applied Kinesiology was radical in helping direct Dr. J quickly to the areas that required adjusting.
His Brimhall emotional work was also over the top and helped me realize where I was emotionally struggling and helped me sail through it.
Even the detox foot baths were a spectacular and simple way to eliminate heavy metals and toxicity in the body and the additional news on that was that through AK my body decided when I didn’t need any more footbaths.
My general depression is mostly gone, periods are painless and perfect, hormones seem balanced, stress levels are going down, and even my thought life is far more upbeat than it ever was.
Typically I find most doctors want you to know how sick you are and all the costly things you will need to stay well whereas Dr. Jurica is the one doctor who just gets me well and balanced and never ever alarms me with freaky diagnoses.
The best part of Dr. J (woops I think I already said the best part a bunch of times) is that he is a whole body/mind doctor so I don’t go to 8 different people to stay well. I go to Dr. J every month and my energy is great and I know that my body is my friend and wants to be well and Dr. J helps me to achieve that.

I was in a pretty hopeless frame of mind in regards to my back pain when I met Dr. Jurica; he managed to alleviate the majority of my pains and continues to strengthen me. I don’t mean to come off as corny however I believe Dr, Jurica to be an honest healer. I was very intrigued by his practice. His intense knowledge and understanding of all systems of the body was at least; impressive.
I believe in his ability to heal and understand the body so much so, that I consider him my primary care giver, for any and all aliments.
Thank You Dr. Jurica!

I have known Dr. Jurica over 8 yrs and came to him as a patient after learning more about his practice and his unique approach to health care.
Over the past 20 years I had suffered from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and intense PMS with no cure from other doctors. The IBS was frequent enough in my life that it caused me to become anxious in most social events with the fear that it would strike. To help ease my fears I would take different stomach medicines to help prevent any problems even if I was not having any IBS symptoms. Doing this caused me to have other stomach problems outside of the IBS. After speaking with Dr. Jurica regarding the IBS we had further health care conversations that lead us to my PMS symptoms. Like most women we have been taught to tolerate PMS systems from all levels of cramps to emotional control issues. I was under the impression that taking 8
Advil a day during my cycle was the norm.
It has only been 6 months and I have not suffered from either. The IBS was under control for the first time within 2 months after a whole body detoxification and small changes to my diet with the help of supplements.
The PMS is at a whole new level. I don’t have any cramps and I have control over my emotions during my menstrual cycle. After seeing the wonderful things Scott could do with my health issues I know I could recommend my family and friends to him. He has helped my father who has suffered from 30 years of restless sleep issues to sleeping soundly for the first time. He has also helped my mother who now has no joint pain.
He is a huge assist to me, my life and my family’s life. I have a whole new look on health care and for the first time 100% belief in my family doctor.

His caring and compassionate concern transcends all modern day doctors. I would recommend Scott as a highly knowledgeable doctor who actually cares. I initally came to him for pain in my right arm. Not only is the pain gone but since Dr. Jurica looks at the entire body he also helped me eliminate ALL of my PMS symptoms by doing a system detoxification with the foot baths!

Dr. Jurica is the most intuitive doctor that I have been to. He is patient and attentive and deals with health on so many levels. He's so much more than a doctor of chiropractic care...he has helped me with physical health, emotional heath and nutrition/diet. I now feel better then I have in years and my workouts at the gym are far more effective than ever before.
RJ, New York City
Dr. Jurica is amazing with the full circle of healthcare that he provides. With my busy schedule, I have had several house call appointments which have allowed me to get the treatments I need without having to leave my home or office. He has helped me with my severe back pain and sinus infections. Additionally, I sleep better then I have in years...and by using natural supplements now (instead of a prescription sleep aid I had taken for over 5 years). Dr. Jurica is truly one of a kind.

It is hard to know where to begin with my testimonial as Dr. Jurica has done so much for me! As far as my overall health is concerned, he helped me bring down my triglycerides from 160 (which is very dangerous) to 80 (which is normal). I had bunion surgery in February 2005. In December 2006 I noticed the ball of my foot was very swollen, tender and I had difficulty walking. I went to my podiatrist and was told that my foot had not responded well to the surgery, that 2 of my metatarsals had dropped and that I needed orthopedic shoes. I may be 64, but I don't feel it so I did not accept his proposal. I went to Dr. Jurica and after 4 months, my metatarsals are normal, I am no longer swollen or tender and am back to walking my 3 miles everyday! My left knee had been giving me problems for years; I even had to have it drained at one point. The x-rays showed a healthy knee, so why the fluid? Thanks to Dr. Jurica, I no longer have any problems with my knee.
As you can see, Dr. Jurica keeps me healthy and strong! I also take the supplements that he recommends and need/take no medications! He is passionate about what he does. He not only cares about how your body works, he is also compassionate about you as a person. What more could someone ask for in a doctor?

They say that doctors make the worst patients, well then you can just imagine what student doctors are like. Honestly I feel bad for Dr. Jurica for ever getting stuck with me in the first place. I can remember the first day that I went to see him. I’m sure he was overwhelmed with all of my demands. I was already in my second semester of chiropractic school by then, and therefore fully made aware of all of my “problems”. My left hip was higher, I wasn’t digesting certain foods very well, I had trouble sleeping, my jaw was throbbing, I was getting headaches, constantly fatigued, slouching throughout the day, and I wanted to loose 40lbs. A year later I can probably say that Scott performed a miracle. After changing my diet, exercise, and beginning supplements that Scott suggested, as well as EB baths, I am now sleeping like a baby, my jaw is pain free, the headaches are gone, I have more energy, my posture has improved, I’ve lost 20lbs, and most importantly I am a lot less stressed than before. Amazing if you ask me. And even though he’s made such an improvement in my daily living, he’s not done with me just yet. I consult with him as if he was my primary physician. When I sprained my ankle, I went to Dr. Jurica. During a stressful time in my life when my hair started falling out, I went to Scott. When I slammed my finger in the car door and it wasn’t healing, I went to Dr. Jurica. When my neighbor had questions about dermatitis, I went to Dr. Jurica
Bottom line here, Dr. Jurica has done more for me than I could have ever expected. He put up with me through the praises and the critique. Honestly, I could not imagine being where I am now in my physical and mental health without him.

When seeking a doctor, there are two characteristics that are very important to me. They should be experts in their field of study and they should possess commendable interpersonal skills when communicating with their patients. Dr. Jurica succeeded any expectations I have for a great doctor. Not only is he an expert at what he does but he has a genuine care and concern for his patients. He gained my trust and respect on the first visit, and that's not an easy thing to do. I only recommend Dr. Jurica to the person seeking excellence rather than mediocrity.
HK (Houston, TX)
Having been diagnosed with osteoporosis and reluctant to take popular medications, I went to Dr. Jurica for chiropractic support. For years I also had been unsuccessfully seeking treatment for dizziness and balance problems, as well as irritable bowel syndrome. Dr. Jurica's broad knowledge base in the body/mind connection as well as his expertise and support brought me to a level of health I had not experienced in years. He has empowered me to be in control of my own health through diet, nutritional supplementation, exercises for flexibility and balance, and trigger point therapy.
KD (Trumbull, CT)
I went to the clinic because I was experiencing serious back spasms after an intensive exercise session. Within 3 days, his treatment significantly increased my mobility and restored my back's flexibility. However, I continued meeting with him because of his extensive knowledge on a wide range of health subjects. I have found him to be unusually attentive to his patients, with highly developed listening skills. As such, I have learned a great deal about my body and how to maintain it as I age. I highly recommend his care to anyone who needs good chiropractic assistance.
GK (Trumbull, CT)
Dr. Jurica is the kind of doctor everyone wants. He listens carefully to everything the patient has to say and does not prejudge the diagnosis. He tries every approach to working on a problem and goes the extra mile to address each symptom. He is kind and caring and his total dedication to his profession is most impressive.
