Patient Reviews and Testimonials
For the past twenty years I have had headaches everyday and a stiff neck. That kind of pain everyday can wear a person down. I tried Chiropractors, yoga, acupuncture, had an MRI, even went to the Scripts Clinic in California. Nothing helped and I thought that that was going to be the way I had to live my life, in pain every day. Then I heard about Dr. Turner. After my exam and studying my x-rays, he told me my Atlas was displaced. I started out coming in 2 times a week, as I held my adjustments more time was put in between appointments. If you want to know how it has worked for me, I would say ask my husband, he has his wife back. I feel like a new woman, I can focus on life and not on the pain. I have my sense of self back. Don’t be afraid to try something new and different. If possible talk to someone who has been where you are now. I would love to talk to anyone who is having trouble. D.G.
I love to workout, but when I started to get daily migraines I had to stop working out. I would get massages to help with the migraines and it worked at first. Then the massages stopped working. I went to see a doctor to address my migraines and was given medication. It worked as long as I took the medication every day. I didn’t like the fact that I had to take medication on a daily basis. I was too young to be feeling this way and having to take medication daily. When I found out about Dr. Turner I was excited. After a month I felt so much better. As time went on I was able to put more time in between my appointments. I was able to start working out again. I was able to stop taking my medication. I no longer have migraines. The atlas treatment has given me my life back. I feel normal again. F.S.
For the past thirty years I have gone to several chiropractors, neurologists, and every other kind of doctor out there. I had pain in my neck and shoulders, my head shook, and I had an anxious feeling. I was diagnosed with Spasmodic Torticollis. The other chiropractors did help some, but none of them could take care of all the symptoms I had. It was actually my massage therapist who recommended Dr. Turner to me. He told me my Atlas was out and used his machine to adjust me. It has held from the first time he adjusted it two years ago. My pain is gone, the shaking is much less, and the anxiousness is gone. I can go two to three months without an adjustment. My body lets me know when it is time to go in, I start to get anxious and shaking more. It has helped me so much and would love to help anyone who is suffering with these or other symptoms. I would recommend Dr. Turner to anyone! C.J.
I was in a very serious car accident nine years ago that put me in St. Alphonsus for two months. I had broken some bone spurs off in my lower back and was in a neck brace and couldn’t move my head. I had to turn my whole body to look side to side. I didn’t have confidence when I drove anymore because of the lack of mobility in my neck, and when I was finally able to gain a little mobility my neck creaked. It wasn’t a good thing. My mom suggested that I come to see Dr. Turner because of the positive results she had experienced herself, but I didn’t want to come. I didn’t think it would help. I had been doing stretches that the physical therapist had given me and they had stopped working, so I just thought that this was the way I would live my life. I didn’t think it was possible to have full mobility of my neck and be pain free. After the first adjustment with the atlas orthogonal instrument I was able to move my head! The atlas held its position for a year. I did continue to see the doctor two to three times a week for a month and then less and less as time went on and I healed. I don’t regret my decision to come to see Dr. Turner and have the atlas treatments. I thought I would never be pain free and was told by all my other doctor’s that back surgery was in my future. Well, I am pain free and haven’t had to go down the road of surgery for my back. I also gained my confidence back in driving. I would recommend this to anyone especially those who have been in auto accidents. G.R.
I am one of those people that give anything I am trying a year for it to work and I don’t like to mix different things in so I know what is or isn’t working for me. I like to be fair that way, not complicate things by trying too many things at once. I have had migraines, lots of muscle pain in my neck, shoulders, and hips. I had tried acupuncture and went to a neurologist before coming to see Dr. Turner. I didn’t benefit from the other treatments I had received. As I said before I give everything a year, and it did take a year for me to see the benefits from this kind of treatment. You have to be patient and trust Dr. Turner. He wants you to get better just as much as you want it. It is such a different type of treatment. I am clear headed. I can focus on life. I am in tune with my body. I know the difference between pain of being out of alignment and pain from sickness. I would tell anyone to try this not just to get better but also to stay better. Maintenance is key. J.H.
I went to several chiropractors for my chronic neck pain, headaches, stiffness that went from my neck all the way to my lower-back, and charley horses in my lower back. They told me I was too rough on my body, but suggested that I stretch and keep getting regular adjustments. Well, my adjustments were not great. I was still chronically stiff and sore. Then I started being treated by Dr. Turner. Now that the initial treatments are done I come in for adjustments as I need them. All of my previous pains and aches are gone. My neck, back, and hips feel better than ever. I will never go back to other types of chiropractic adjustments. My quality of life is so much better because I am pain free. I wish I would have come here sooner! J.S.
I had been in a car accident which left me with numbness on the left side of my face and down my arm. I had headaches, was sensitive to light, and it was hard to open my eyes. I work at the hospital and Dr. Hammond referred me to Dr. Turner. It is not your traditional kind of chiropractic that everyone thinks about. He uses a unique kind of treatment. Within a half an hour of my first adjustment almost all of my symptoms were gone. I know this doesn’t happen for everyone, but for me it did. I would have to say don’t wait too long. There is no need to be in pain. The sooner you go in the faster you’ll have your life back. My children come here as well. K.F.
I have been going to chiropractors since 1983, but I didn’t have the results I do now coming in to see Dr. Turner. I had chronic headaches, neck pain and stiffness almost every day. I would see my chiropractor on a regular basis and still would only have relief for maybe a week at the most. Plus I think that the manual manipulation was making things worse. I felt like my head was going to come off or something to that nature. Then ten years ago I started having my atlas adjusted. I could tell this was going to be different from anything I had experienced before. Now I rarely have headaches. When I do come in it’s because my neck is stiff and sore. This kind of adjustment has made a significant difference in the quality of my life simply because of the reduction of pain. I came to Dr. Turner out of desperation. I worked with a patient of his and she recommended that I come here. I can’t thank her enough. I just don’t understand why people won’t give this a try. It has been so life changing for me, that I want everyone to have the same positive results that I received. L.R.
I have had two different accidents both resulting in whiplash. The first time I suffered for five years with no relief. On the second whiplash I went to another chiropractor everyday for about three months and just didn’t feel any better. A friend of mine told me about Dr. Turner. I wanted to investigate, compare him to my other chiropractor. I was convinced of his style of treatment after the first visit. It was the first time I had felt any kind of relief from the pain. Within a few months I was free from pain. I love the techniques that Dr. Turner uses and the different instruments. He has such a gentle approach. Now I can go for six months and hold my adjustments. L.N.
Two and a half years ago I came to the office of Dr. Turner with migraines and a nagging ache in my neck. It was up high, I tried to rub it, but that didn’t work. I have gone to at least ten to fifteen different chiropractors. They would twist my neck to try to get it adjusted high enough. This type of adjustment made me nervous, I was afraid of getting hurt. It took quite a bit of convincing to get me to go to yet another chiropractor. The idea that this machine, this little needle like thing, was going to take care of the migraines and the nagging ache in my neck. To say I was skeptical was an understatement. I really didn’t see how this was going to work. After the very first adjustment I felt so much better. The pain was gone. The pain I thought I would be living with the rest of my life. It is such a simple procedure. If people would just set their doubt aside it could change so many lives. C.N.
For years I suffered severe neck pain and headaches. I had numbness and tingling in my arms and fingers, it felt like my throat was closing off, and I suffered from acute fatigue. I had been to other chiropractors over the years but felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere with their treatments. Two to three days later I would feel the same as I did when I went in. I never felt like it was getting to the base of my problems. Within two to three weeks after starting with Dr. Turner I felt so much better. It was the most pain free I had been for years. The tingling and numbness were gone from my hands and fingers and my throat was clear. As a matter of fact I know my atlas is going out when my throat starts to feel closed off. I would tell anyone that is seeing a different kind of chiropractor that if you aren’t seeing the results you want you need to see an Atlas Orthogonal doctor. Finding out that I didn’t have to live like that was life changing. I now live over an hour away from my AO doctor, but it is so worth the trip to get my head put back on right. I have sent my daughter and son-in-law to Dr. Turner as well. L.G.
When I started coming to Dr. Turner I was experiencing severe headaches, tension in my neck, hips, lower back, and shoulders. I have gone to several chiropractors over the years, since 1977. I would get some relief, but nothing that would last a long time. I was impressed with the time that Dr. Turner took to educate me on how the atlas affects my lower back hurting. It made perfect sense to me. After several visits in the first six weeks I was able to hold my adjustments. I had a decrease in my symptoms and had more mobility. I recommend Dr. Turner all the time to people. You’re making a mistake if you don’t come in and give it an honest try. S.L.B.
I was a mess when I first started coming to Dr. Turner. I felt like I should be crawling into his office. I couldn’t walk, bend or stand-up. I did go to another chiropractor a long time ago that trained me into believing that if I didn’t hear popping it wasn’t working. So when Dr. Turner used the Atlas Orthogonal instrument on me I thought “that didn’t work” because there was no popping involved the same thought came to me when he used the “jackhammer” as well, how could that work? Well they do work. You don’t have to hear a pop to know it is working. Now I can move freely. I didn’t understand the importance of a maintenance program before. I just came in when I was hurting. Now I come in at the first sign of any kind of discomfort or if I know I’m going to be doing something that might flare up some pain. D.B.
I actually stopped coming into Dr. Turner because I didn’t feel like it was working. It was during that time that I was no longer coming that I came to the realization that this had actually worked for me. I had been to other chiropractors and a neurologist for help with my migraines but didn’t benefit from any kind of relief. Now I come in every two months for maintenance. It may have taken me two years to realize that this is the right place for me, but it doesn’t need to take you that long. I tell family and friends about this kind of adjusting all the time. There is no need to suffer from migraines. L.T.
I had gone to another chiropractor prior to vacationing in Hawaii hoping for some relief from my sore neck, right leg pain and migraines. He had me fill out a simple paper and then started to pop and twist me. I felt better, until I got home. The pain was horrible. My vacation was ruined. I swore I would never go to another chiropractor again. Then the girls I work with told me about Dr. Turner. Knowing how I felt about chiropractors, they assured me he would do an examination and take x-rays before he adjusted me. That made sense to me. I was still very skeptical as a matter of fact I sat in the waiting room and was mad at myself for coming to another appointment. That didn’t last long because a few treatments in and I was sold. The Atlas work has changed my well being for the better. I still get migraines but not as many. The neck and leg pains are gone. There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not thankful for Dr.Turner and the work he does. I don’t know what I will do when the day comes for him to retire. M.K
At first I didn’t understand the relationship between the atlas and my headaches. I had bad headaches and took Aleve like it was candy. I had gone to five different doctors who thought the headaches may be caused by my Tuberous Sclerosis. Then my neurologist suggested I come to Dr. Turner. After looking at the x-rays that he took he determined that my atlas was displaced. Now I hardly have any headaches and barely use Aleve. I come in every three months for maintenance care. M.G.
When I first started coming in to Dr.Turner I couldn’t turn my head. It was so stiff and accompanied by pain on the right side of my neck, down my shoulder and into my back. It was so bad that I had to be on pain pills and muscle relaxants. I had gone to a Physical Therapist and it did feel good at the moment that I did the exercises, but it was not long lasting. My mom recommended Dr.Turner. She also comes to his office and has found relief in the treatments that she has been given. She thought he would be able to help me as well and we all know that mother knows best. I have less pain with each visit and my range of motion is getting wider. I no longer have to take medication. Come in and try it, it works! S.R.
Well, I certainly didn’t think that the pain in my arm could be related to my neck being out, but it was. I had just moved to Twin Falls and was experiencing horrible pain in my left arm. The pain was so bad that I had a hard time sleeping, even on the right side. I was very emotional, I cried a lot. I thought I was going to lose my job because I couldn’t sit. I also had headaches and went through a lot of Tylenol. I hesitated seeking for any help because I felt I couldn’t afford it but I had to do something. When Dr. Turner told me that my neck was out and that could be the cause of the arm pain I was filled with disbelief. When I saw the atlas orthogonal machine I was even more skeptical. It took a few adjustments to see a difference. I had an adjustment and then went to work and three hours later I realized I wasn’t in pain. This was big for me, I had pain all day every day, so to go three hours and not even think about it was a nice change. I didn’t think I would ever get better and now I’m one hundred percent better. I can go two months in between adjustments. I still get emotional, but it’s not because of the pain anymore. P.M.
Six and a half years ago I sought the treatment of Dr. Turner. My neck hurt so bad that it was hard to sleep and function as a “normal” person. I had been to another chiropractor but the adjustments just didn’t seem to last. With Dr. Turner I feel that I am receiving better treatment and the results are better than anywhere else that I have gone. He’s helped me be able to function and go on with life. I can usually go three to four months in between adjustments. I know it’s time to make an appointment when I feel something odd going on. Then I come in get adjusted and am off again for another three months or so. P.S.
I had been going to a different chiropractor with minimal results. I suffered from headaches, dizziness and up-set stomach. Then I remembered that I used to come to Dr. Turner some fifteen years ago. I thought I’d give him another try. I’m so glad I did. Just after three or four adjustments my atlas was holding. I am now on a maintenance program. I come in every two months for a checkup, then I’m on my way. I have referred many of my friends to Dr. Turner. If you suffer from chronic headaches or any symptom I would definitely suggest coming to see Dr. Turner. D.M.
I had such horrible headaches and neck pain. I could only lie on one side of my body. I went to a neurologist and he recommended that I come to see Dr. Turner and also go to physical therapy; he then prescribed muscle relaxants to me. In the beginning I was skeptical. I thought there was no way that this treatment would ever work because it was just too simple. I couldn’t believe after the first adjustment how fast I felt the difference. I was able to go off the medication and have gone as much as two years in between adjustments. Now when I notice that my atlas is out I come in for an adjustment and within minutes I feel better. It has never hurt as bad as it did when I first started. R.S.
I have MS and this is the best treatment have found for it. I have been treated by another chiropractor, but after I was adjusted I hurt. A person I knew recommended Dr. Turner to me. He had helped her with her MS symptoms and thought I should give it a try. So, I did. I was hoping that it would help with my balance and the tremors and the after pain from the tremors. I can’t tell you how thankful I am for trying this. It is so amazing, I have more flexibility and I get more restful sleep, it hasn’t calmed the tremors but it has eliminated the pain that resulted from them. I am able to use my right arm more. Before I started treatment my shaking was obvious. I felt that I couldn’t shake hands with people, but now it’s not evident until I try to write something. This type of treatment is not a cure for M.S. but helps with many of the symptom of M.S. With regular visits your body should keep improving. Stick with it, don’t give up. T.R.K.
My dentist recommended that I come and see Dr. Turner. I suffered from TMJ pain, headaches, dizziness, and lower back pain. Chiropractic work was nothing new to me. I have gone to them for years with pretty good results. When I first came to Dr. Turner he told me that my atlas was displaced. He treated my atlas, ribs and lower back. His treatment is much more comfortable than the treatments I received before, there is no pain. I really like the “jackhammer”. I just like the fact that it is a less harsh treatment. The results have been very good. I know when my atlas goes out because I start to get dizzy again. It is a different type of chiropractic treatment that has taken my chiropractic treatments one step further in a kinder, gentler way. I still can’t believe that it really works, but it really does! R.B.
I suffered from migraine headaches for six straight weeks. After the first week of treatment my headaches were gone and have been gone for almost a year. It has been life changing. I went from a seven on a pain scale to a zero. R.T.
I experienced severe migraines and numbness to my head and arms. I was put on medication that just made me want to sleep. It didn’t fix the problem, it just made me sleep. That was no way to live a life. I went to a Neurologist and he wanted to do a spinal tap on me to rule out MS. I didn’t want to have a spinal tap. So he recommended that I come and see Dr. Turner. The Neurologist wasn’t sure if Dr. Turner would be able to help me or not, but thought it wouldn’t hurt. Dr. Turner told me that my atlas was misaligned and recommended a treatment plan. I came in three times a week for the first three weeks; I then came in once a week for the next three weeks. As time passed and I healed I was able to put more and more time in between my appointments. I don’t have to take medication and I’m headache free. If you are questioning whether this is right for you or not, I ask what do you have to lose? Odds are it will make you feel better. R.C.
I knew something was out in the top part of my neck. I had been to a chiropractor and asked them to adjust my neck and they didn’t feel comfortable adjusting me there. I had migraines almost daily and just didn’t know how I could function this way. I was at a birthday party for a granddaughter and had to go downstairs away from everyone and lay down in the dark to feel any relief. It was then my daughter told me about Dr. Turner. At first I was skeptical about the instrument he used to adjust the atlas. I just didn’t think it could possibly help. In the beginning of treatment it took several times to get my atlas to hold. Then it was holding just fine and one day I was involved in an auto accident. Well, it knocked my atlas out again. It wasn’t long and it was holding again. I am so impressed with the work of Dr. Turner and appreciate him so much. I don’t know what I would have done if I had never started this. A word to those of you just getting started or thinking about starting it doesn’t hurt and it does take some time for it to settle in. Don’t get discouraged, be patient. T.M.
I love to workout, but when I started to get daily migraines I had to stop working out. I would get massages to help with the migraines and it worked at first. Then the massages stopped working.

It has helped me so much and would love to help anyone who is suffering with these or other symptoms. I would recommend Dr. Turner to anyone! C.J.

Two and a half years ago I came to the office of Dr. Turner with migraines and a nagging ache in my neck. It was up high, I tried to rub it, but that didn’t work. I have gone to at least ten to fifteen different chiropractors. They would twist my neck to try to get it adjusted high enough. This type of adjustment made me nervous, I was afraid of getting hurt.

The idea that this machine, this little needle like thing, was going to take care of the migraines and the nagging ache in my neck. To say I was skeptical was an understatement.

I had gone to another chiropractor prior to vacationing in Hawaii hoping for some relief from my sore neck, right leg pain and migraines. He had me fill out a simple paper and then started to pop and twist me. I felt better, until I got home. The pain was horrible. My vacation was ruined. I swore I would never go to another chiropractor again. Then the girls I work with told me about Dr. Turner. Knowing how I felt about chiropractors, they assured me he would do an examination and take x-rays before he adjusted me. That made sense to me. I was still very skeptical as a matter of fact I sat in the waiting room and was mad at myself for coming to another appointment. That didn’t last long because a few treatments in and I was sold. The Atlas work has changed my well being for the better. I still get migraines but not as many. The neck and leg pains are gone. There isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not thankful for Dr.Turner and the work he does. I don’t know what I will do when the day comes for him to retire. M.K
At first I didn’t understand the relationship between the atlas and my headaches. I had bad headaches and took Aleve like it was candy. I had gone to five different doctors who thought the headaches may be caused by my Tuberous Sclerosis. Then my neurologist suggested I come to Dr. Turner. After looking at the x-rays that he took he determined that my atlas was displaced. Now I hardly have any headaches and barely use Aleve. I come in every three months for maintenance care. M.G.
When I first started coming in to Dr.Turner I couldn’t turn my head. It was so stiff and accompanied by pain on the right side of my neck, down my shoulder and into my back. It was so bad that I had to be on pain pills and muscle relaxants. I had gone to a Physical Therapist and it did feel good at the moment that I did the exercises, but it was not long lasting. My mom recommended Dr.Turner. She also comes to his office and has found relief in the treatments that she has been given. She thought he would be able to help me as well and we all know that mother knows best. I have less pain with each visit and my range of motion is getting wider. I no longer have to take medication. Come in and try it, it works! S.R.
Well, I certainly didn’t think that the pain in my arm could be related to my neck being out, but it was. I had just moved to Twin Falls and was experiencing horrible pain in my left arm. The pain was so bad that I had a hard time sleeping, even on the right side. I was very emotional, I cried a lot. I thought I was going to lose my job because I couldn’t sit. I also had headaches and went through a lot of Tylenol. I hesitated seeking for any help because I felt I couldn’t afford it but I had to do something. When Dr. Turner told me that my neck was out and that could be the cause of the arm pain I was filled with disbelief. When I saw the atlas orthogonal machine I was even more skeptical. It took a few adjustments to see a difference. I had an adjustment and then went to work and three hours later I realized I wasn’t in pain. This was big for me, I had pain all day every day, so to go three hours and not even think about it was a nice change. I didn’t think I would ever get better and now I’m one hundred percent better. I can go two months in between adjustments. I still get emotional, but it’s not because of the pain anymore. P.M.
Six and a half years ago I sought the treatment of Dr. Turner. My neck hurt so bad that it was hard to sleep and function as a “normal” person. I had been to another chiropractor but the adjustments just didn’t seem to last. With Dr. Turner I feel that I am receiving better treatment and the results are better than anywhere else that I have gone. He’s helped me be able to function and go on with life. I can usually go three to four months in between adjustments. I know it’s time to make an appointment when I feel something odd going on. Then I come in get adjusted and am off again for another three months or so. P.S.
I had been going to a different chiropractor with minimal results. I suffered from headaches, dizziness and up-set stomach. Then I remembered that I used to come to Dr. Turner some fifteen years ago. I thought I’d give him another try. I’m so glad I did. Just after three or four adjustments my atlas was holding. I am now on a maintenance program. I come in every two months for a checkup, then I’m on my way. I have referred many of my friends to Dr. Turner. If you suffer from chronic headaches or any symptom I would definitely suggest coming to see Dr. Turner. D.M.
I had such horrible headaches and neck pain. I could only lie on one side of my body. I went to a neurologist and he recommended that I come to see Dr. Turner and also go to physical therapy; he then prescribed muscle relaxants to me. In the beginning I was skeptical. I thought there was no way that this treatment would ever work because it was just too simple. I couldn’t believe after the first adjustment how fast I felt the difference. I was able to go off the medication and have gone as much as two years in between adjustments. Now when I notice that my atlas is out I come in for an adjustment and within minutes I feel better. It has never hurt as bad as it did when I first started. R.S.
I have MS and this is the best treatment have found for it. I have been treated by another chiropractor, but after I was adjusted I hurt. A person I knew recommended Dr. Turner to me. He had helped her with her MS symptoms and thought I should give it a try. So, I did. I was hoping that it would help with my balance and the tremors and the after pain from the tremors. I can’t tell you how thankful I am for trying this. It is so amazing, I have more flexibility and I get more restful sleep, it hasn’t calmed the tremors but it has eliminated the pain that resulted from them. I am able to use my right arm more. Before I started treatment my shaking was obvious. I felt that I couldn’t shake hands with people, but now it’s not evident until I try to write something. This type of treatment is not a cure for M.S. but helps with many of the symptom of M.S. With regular visits your body should keep improving. Stick with it, don’t give up. T.R.K.
My dentist recommended that I come and see Dr. Turner. I suffered from TMJ pain, headaches, dizziness, and lower back pain. Chiropractic work was nothing new to me. I have gone to them for years with pretty good results. When I first came to Dr. Turner he told me that my atlas was displaced. He treated my atlas, ribs and lower back. His treatment is much more comfortable than the treatments I received before, there is no pain. I really like the “jackhammer”. I just like the fact that it is a less harsh treatment. The results have been very good. I know when my atlas goes out because I start to get dizzy again. It is a different type of chiropractic treatment that has taken my chiropractic treatments one step further in a kinder, gentler way. I still can’t believe that it really works, but it really does!

I suffered from migraine headaches for six straight weeks. After the first week of treatment my headaches were gone and have been gone for almost a year. It has been life changing. I went from a seven on a pain scale to a zero. R.T.
I experienced severe migraines and numbness to my head and arms. I was put on medication that just made me want to sleep. It didn’t fix the problem, it just made me sleep. That was no way to live a life. I went to a Neurologist and he wanted to do a spinal tap on me to rule out MS. I didn’t want to have a spinal tap. So he recommended that I come and see Dr. Turner. The Neurologist wasn’t sure if Dr. Turner would be able to help me or not, but thought it wouldn’t hurt. Dr. Turner told me that my atlas was misaligned and recommended a treatment plan. I came in three times a week for the first three weeks; I then came in once a week for the next three weeks. As time passed and I healed I was able to put more and more time in between my appointments. I don’t have to take medication and I’m headache free. If you are questioning whether this is right for you or not, I ask what do you have to lose? Odds are it will make you feel better. R.C.
I knew something was out in the top part of my neck. I had been to a chiropractor and asked them to adjust my neck and they didn’t feel comfortable adjusting me there. I had migraines almost daily and just didn’t know how I could function this way. I was at a birthday party for a granddaughter and had to go downstairs away from everyone and lay down in the dark to feel any relief. It was then my daughter told me about Dr. Turner. At first I was skeptical about the instrument he used to adjust the atlas. I just didn’t think it could possibly help. In the beginning of treatment it took several times to get my atlas to hold. Then it was holding just fine and one day I was involved in an auto accident. Well, it knocked my atlas out again. It wasn’t long and it was holding again. I am so impressed with the work of Dr. Turner and appreciate him so much. I don’t know what I would have done if I had never started this. A word to those of you just getting started or thinking about starting it doesn’t hurt and it does take some time for it to settle in. Don’t get discouraged, be patient. T.M.
