FREEDOM FROM PAIN :

Clinical Example 2.
This Patient who is a 58 year old male is assisted into my office by his 2 brothers. He cannot sit nor lie on a treatment table. Every movement from his body spells pain. During a standing consultation he reveals a long history of neck conditions including arthritic spurring, herniated discs and 2 unsuccessful surgeries including a spinal fusion. He is treated by a pain specialist who performs regimens of epidural steroidal injections and has a suitcase full of narcotics including oxycontin. This patient has lost his family due to his inability to retain employment due to the pain syndrome and a growing anger problem which he tells me is part of his depression. He states becoming a recluse who has basically not been able to function in a normal capacity.

Obviously, this case is much more complicated than the first example, but the pain syndrome was about the same. The treatment for this case consisted of outside professionals who helped him overcome his dependency. The physical treatment course was about the same (as example #2) , obviously treating different areas of the spine. This man has returned to his work as a general contractor and has been reunited with his family. He works out at his local gym 3-4 times a week and last week ‘Marched for Diabetes’ raising the money for the disease which was responsible for the death of his father.

Clinical Example 3.
Real person again! There was a Doctor of Chiropractic (age 42) who was playing competitive racquetball. He had gained an excess 25 pounds and was doing no other exercising or stretching. One morning he could not arise from his bed due to a severe low back pain which inhibited his every body movement, especially forward bending (from the waist). Following the onset of this awful onset, he did what would have been expected and sought the help/care from the neighboring Chiropractors. He performed all of the self help care which he had at his disposal, and tried a host of holistic cures to find answers/relief.

Frustrated without any results, he sought the opinions from the finest local Medical Doctors who specialize in pain management. The usual MRI and diagnostic tests were performed, all of which pointes to surgery as the only option in overcoming the effects. Another alternative was Spinal Epidurals under Fluoroscopy. In a nutshell nothing worked leaving this lonely Chiropractor no choice but to sell his practice.

All of the contracts had been drawn up and just before the final signature was necessary to close the deal, the Dr. heard of a program offered in accordance with a major university and run by a prominent Neurosurgeon who threw away his scalpel preaching this new approach. The frustrated Chiropractor underwent 30 days of this approach and became 70%-80% pain free. He was then contracted by the Neurosurgeon to integrate the Chiropractic into the system making it even more dynamic.

Well, you guessed it…the Chiropractor mentioned, is me, and the approach which I want to share with you was designed during my most difficult time, to save me from the all (severe) effects of this syndrome. Today, I am 100% pain free and as strong as I’ve ever been. I’m back to an even bigger case load in my office. I work out nearly everyday and stretch as a normal activity in my busy day(s). I invite you to follow my video clips, blog and website to learn more about overcoming this devastating ailment. I will show you how to approach your pain syndrome. We will rate your pain and perform periodic checks to chart your progress. I will also keep you apprised on what activities are expected of you at your current level. I want to thank you for your time and support.

Respectfully, in the best of Health and Happiness,
