Restored Quality Of Life
What does one say to someone that has restored their quality of life and quite possibly saved their life?

Thank you seems hardly adequate. The pain I endured on a daily basis was either bad or worse and never went away. There was no...

... comfortable position or activity for me and had progressed to the point where simple things like standing, walking, sitting and lying had become intolerable chores. I had reached the end of what I could take and was beginning a downward spiral of depression that could have ended in only one way. While listening to WNIS, I heard about this place called Precision Spinal Care and a procedure called “NUCCA CARE” that was offering a free exam, stating: “because if you are living in pain, you aren’t living, so stop living in pain”. Boy, I thought, that sure sounds like me, so I called to make the free appointment, and when I entered the office I knew I was in the right place.

There was this diagram of the human skeleton, showing the affects of a “head tilt” on the muscles of the upper back, pelvis, and on relative leg length. As soon as I saw the picture and read the explanation, I said “I’m that guy! I had x-rays taken and low and behold – I really was that guy. Dr. Packer explained to me that as a result of the improper alignment between my head and neck, my spinal column was being affected in a manner similar to kinking a garden hose, in that not all the messages from the rain could efficiently get to where they needed to go and that this was what might be causing my problems.

Dr. Packer didn’t actually tell me that he could help me, but he did say in no uncertain terms that some people with my symptoms and in my condition had seen improvements as a result of upper cervical therapy. I am a 53 year old male who for over 35 years suffered through extended periods of unbelievable leg, knee and low back pain, tightness and stiffness. I suffered from massive headaches, multiple bouts of prostatitis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS); I couldn’t breathe through my right nostril and I got frequent sinus infections (roughly 4 per year). Additionally, I would on occasion, have the most horrible “pinch” where the neck joins the shoulder mostly on the left side, but occasionally on the right side that would last for, in some cases, months. Multiple doctors in multiple disciplines examined me; some provided temporary relief, some didn’t do me any good. I would go to a chiropractor, get an “adjustment”, feel better for a few hours, and then the problems would come back. Also the pain moved; neck one day, low back or mid back the next, it kept on moving. No one, until Dr. Packer and his team looked at me was able to correctly diagnosis my condition as an improper alignment between my skull and the upper most vertebrae (C-1). In my particular case, my head was “tilted” 3.5 degrees to the right and 0.5 degrees forward. When I was 15 years old, I suffered a blunt force trauma to my head that resulted in the condition discussed above.

My first adjustment: I was precisely positioned on my left side and the Dr. applied a gentle pressure to the right side of my neck, just back of the ear. No snapping, no cracking, no twisting or hard pushing; just several applications of a gentle pressure just back of the ear and in the area where C-1 and the head join. It was explained to me that this type of adjustment requires a precise vector and not a great deal of force. I thought well, another dead end; at least it didn’t cost me anything except my time. I drove home, lay down to take a nap and woke up about two hours later without any pain. I don’t mind telling you I cried, first because I was pain free for the first time in my adult life and secondly because I now knew there was hope. I have had to have several maintenance adjustments since that initial adjustment (average of one per month), or 12 per year, but compared to the 2-3 trips a week to a chiropractor I was making before and not getting relief…well you decide, up to 150 visits per year to the chiropractor and no lasting relief or 12 trips a year and no pain. I am now able to do the things that over the years I have lost, like: walking, standing, bending, stooping, cutting the lawn, bending over, gardening, getting a good night’s sleep and so on and I am PAIN FREE! I have lost 60 pounds; I exercise daily by lifting weights and swimming (prior to the adjustment, if I went to the gym once a week, it was an event and then I only sat in the hot tub). I feel better than I have at any time in my adult life, the pain is gone, my IBS is gone, I haven’t had a sinus infection or prostate problem for 1.5 years and I can breathe through my right nostril.

If I hadn’t had the procedure performed on me and experienced the affects first hand, I wouldn’t believe it. If you are living in pain, you owe it to yourself to try this out.

Thanks Dr. Packer, you and your team can’t possibly imagine what you have done for me.
