Diagnosis: whiplash 4 years | Treatments: 5
It’s amazing. When I drive a car and I have to look in the other lane, I’d have to move half my body. Now all I have to do is move my head.
The doctors told me that I was just going to have to live with this. And somewhere inside of me, I kept saying, no, people don’t have to live like this.
6 Months later.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen you. I don’t think I’ve lost anything. I first came to see you. I couldn’t look in the backseat of my car. I’ve kept side to side. I can still go from shoulder to shoulder without moving my shoulders. I can go from side to side and I have no pain. It’s a lot of fun and I can go up and down and I don’t have any trouble at all. And I can see the car in my blind spot when I’m driving. And I haven’t been able to see that for a long time. I feel really good. I walk, I do the grocery shopping. I do the laundry. I do housework. I even went bowling once and it didn’t hurt. I have had no pain pills since I saw you. The first part of October, my energy level has come back tremendously.
Diagnosis: C5C6 cervical disc replacement, college tennis player| Treatments: 6
As you know, I’m a tennis player. My senior year in high school I had a car accident putting an officer eventually got so bad where I couldn’t do anything is I had a cervical neck replacement, C5, C6. I met with a surgeon, got rid of the nerve problem. But now I still had the muscle problem where, hey, it’s always still, it’s still pain. This therapy is very unique, breaking up the scar tissue. What I’ve experienced when I go to like a hospital physical therapist, they’re like, okay, here’s your exercise band. You need to work on having your motion and getting your strength back and use an exercise band. Well, you’re just really masking the problem. You’re just like overcompensating for this. You have some technique where it actually tears the scar tissue that’s there that shouldn’t be, and then it just releases. So that way it actually has more movement, more freedom. I’m actually able to play tennis, very high level collegiately and I can play with all the high-level college players. Uh, no pain. I can serve with no pain. It used to hurt when I would just look up. Now I can look up all day.
Diagnosis: chronic pain, post-operative 2 cervical surgeries | Treatments: 15
I couldn’t look up. It was impossible. I mean, I would have to go like this and lean back when you worked on another scar that I have on my throat then I was suddenly able to look up. It was incredible. That’s when I knew this treatment really works. I don’t know what I’ve done without it.
Diagnosis: post-operative 3 cervical surgeries | Treatments: 6
The first operation I had was a cervical discectomy without fusion. I had a five-level posterior decompressive laminectomy that failed also and that also was not fused. Then finally on the third operation, I was fused and plated in front at C 4/5 C5/6, with a titanium plate that really helped my whole head was falling forward on my chest. I still have trouble because of the back operation of getting my head up and being able to drive, sit, stand, and a tremendous amount of burning pain and sensation in the back of my neck and shoulders.
I’m amazed at how far I can turn my head now. I’ve never been able to look this far over my shoulder. Dramatically increasing the range of motion. I can tell you that!

Can’t believe the difference. I am moving forward and backward and rotation both ways. It is just amazing.
Diagnosis: whiplash, chronic neck pain 10 years | Treatments: 4
My shoulders are going down and I don’t think they have been down this far in I don’t know how long. The tightness. The compressed feeling is leaving. Before it was constant fidget, contrast trying to find a comfortable place. This time I sat there and I drove and I was comfortable. How long has it been since you felt like you had to fidget and be in all the pain when you are driving? Probably a good ten years. And this is your second treatment? Yes.
Diagnosis: whiplash 4 months. | Treatments: 8
I knew the collision was going to happen. So, as I was looking around my shoulder the collision happened. It feels like, now that it has been released, I didn’t realize I couldn’t put my head back. I feel all this stretching now that I didn’t feel before. and this motion (circling arm) I could not do that. I feel totally strong up here. which I didn’t. My head completely rolls around and feels better. This is the first time (turning head) I can see back there!
Diagnosis: chronic whiplash, traumatic brain injury, headaches 2 years | Treatments: 8
When I was 15 I was in a horseback riding accident, and hit the ground hard and was in a coma for a few days. I have had two auto accidents since and both times I was facing to the right. Two big SUV’s ran into me. And I have had so many different kinds of therapy. Physical therapy, pilates, massage, craniosacral, acupuncture, chiropractic visits, at least 50 and massage at least that many in the past year. Craniosacral maybe 20 and PT at least 30. And then I was here over the Christmas holiday. and I haven’t been able to put my chin beyond my shoulder like that. Oh my, there is a huge difference! When I got back to Boulder, Colorado all my therapists said wow your posture is so much better! And all the effects have lasted! I’m sort of in shock! I just have so much more freedom of movement. And I’ve had this inner feeling of having been trapped and haven’t been able to move in a normal way. And now I am pretty much able to and it is a wonderful feeling I can get my chin to my chest now which I haven’t been able to do all year and it doesn’t hurt. When I am riding my horse, my spine can move with the movement of the horse much better now. And, also, I would say, it works so well that even though it hurts like heck when you are doing the treatment. Once you are out of there it is more like a sunburn. And, I have always had burning in my trapezius and base of my head. And when I am horseback riding these days it is not burning hardly at all.

I was involved in a very bad car accident. And, it was about 30 years ago. I have not had mobility in my neck like this since before my car accident. Every visit it just got better. I am driving like normal. I am doing everything normal. My mobility is where it has never been. and, it’s just wonderful!
Diagnosis: chronic upper back/lower back & neck spasms 10 years | Treatments: 16
Ten years ago I was in a boating accident. I flew off the back of some skis and did a little flip and hurt my back pretty badly. Over a course of time my lower back and my neck just got worse and worse and worse to the point where I was in constant pain all the time. I could never relax the muscles. I felt like I was always tightening them as hard as I could. Definitely in the first 4 or 5 visits my lower back pain had gone away completely. I still had neck pain but we had not worked on my neck. I couldn’t believe the feeling. I have never felt that kind of relief! This like has absolutely taken care of the pain. My lower back has never felt better. There is no pain in my lower back. I can feel the muscles now are relaxed in this part of my neck. It used to be rock solid all the time. And I am a musician so I gig and after every gig I would feel terrible. I couldn’t sleep. Constant you know pain.

When I go to look for traffic, it is a lot easier to look over my shoulder. When I wash my hair, I can stand straight.

I noticed I am standing up straight a lot better. My posture is a lot better. Starting to feel good about it. I just noticed that my neck is showing and my shoulders are not like that (hunched up) any more. my shoulders feel more like they used to.
Diagnosis: Whiplash 4 months | Treatments 4
I was hit from behind. When I tip my head to the left it feels like a stretch but when I tip to the right it feels like there is something blocking it from going down. That would have been an impossibility (tipping head toward the right while looking up to the ceiling) about two weeks ago. Yeah!

I got rear ended by an MTD bus. Since then I have had headaches pretty much on a daily basis. Shoulder pain, upper and lower back pain. Hip pain, rib pain. What are you noticing since we did that treatment? I can move my head!
Diagnosis: whiplash/headaches Treatments 3
It feels completely different. It doesn’t feel as tight. It doesn’t feel like anything is pulling back here right now. It feels looser. everything before felt like it was in a ball. I am definitely a lot better than I was a week or even two weeks ago!
