Patient reported to the office with headaches and migraines complicated by petite mal seizures in association with low back pain and shoulder pain. Patient reported her symptoms were getting worse and she was becoming more concerned about their frequency and intensity. She described the pain as moderate to severe and frequently debilitating. Often she would have to miss work when necessary due to the pain and limitations - she often couldn't see when the pain was intense and she was forced to rest. Meds were ineffective at resolution. The pain prevented caring for her home, her pets, and herself due to pain. She arrived at our office and was examined, diagnosed, and recommended a treatment plan to correct her condition and not just manage symptoms. She was compliant and achieved nearly all goals for care. At this time, she is no longer experiencing neck pain or tension, stiffness, headaches or even seizures and is able to work, sleep, stand, sit, workout and perform chores without pain

The patient stated that he was a passenger in the rear of the vehicle and was on the side of impact. He stated that the vehicle he was travelling in was crossing an intersection and another motorist who did not yield for the red light hit them on his side. He immediately felt pain and discomfort as his body and head jerked side to side despite wearing a seatbelt. The pain was progressive and worsening. He mentioned it was difficult to work, sleep, drive, sit, and focus or help around home without pain. He was evaluated in our office, diagnosed, and accepted for care. He was compliant with recommendations, performed therapy without reporting any adverse events, and is now living without any pain or residuals.

Patient presented to the office with constant Neck Pain, Headaches, and Shoulder Pain following a motor vehicle collision. She was in the front passenger seat when another motorist appeared from behind an oncoming vehicle as the driver was about to merge into traffic. The patient was unaware of the impending crash while looking down at her phone. The vehicle was hit and the patient was "slammed" against the car's interior. She noted the achy and sharp neck pain and shoulder pain began immediately and the pounding headache gradually appeared shortly after. She felt her head hit the passenger side window hard after impact. She was unable to participate in dance or school afterward due to pain. She was examined, diagnosed, and recommended a treatment plan to correct her condition. She remained compliant and achieved outstanding results while hitting all objective and subjective goals. Post-treatment she is healthier, happier, and able to return to dance without pain.

She stated it frequently was debilitating and caused disruption in her day to day responsibilities. She was having trouble sleeping, moving, and caring for her home and family members. The pain significantly worsened following injuries sustained in a motor vehicle collision years prior where she experienced multiple traumas. She was evaluated, diagnosed, and treated in our office with specific protocols to address the cause of her pain and restore her optimal function.

Often he could barely stand after getting out of the car because of the pain and twisting, bending, and lifting were all restricted. The pain was described as achy, sharp and tight as it limited him from activity to the point it was challenging to sleep and care for his family. He was evaluated and diagnosed in our office, accepted for care, and was compliant with all recommendations. He achieved his goals for care with no residuals and found that he had more energy, slept better, and was performing at a higher level in the gym.
