Neck & Shoulder Pain Testimonials

After being rear-ended in a care accident, I was in extreme pain in my neck and back of my head. That same evening, Dr. Nelson started treatment for me, taking special time out of his busy schedule. In less than two months, his treatments alleviated 98% of the pain, and most importantly, solved the problem - the subluxations in my spine. Thanks to Dr. Nelson, my head and neck are back to a healthy state of being!

Due to a severe neck trauma, I was temporarily paralyzed and suffered severe headaches and numbness. Of course, traditional medicine, neurosurgeons, neurologists, and orthopedic surgeons could not find any pathology and were no help in my recovery. I didn't want to take the pain killers and muscle relaxants and Dr. Nelson agreed. My neck injury caused me to be disabled from my job without compensation due to the system. Dr. Nelson keeps me working and symptom free. Without his chiropractic adjustments and natural therapies, I would not be able to work or even enjoy the simple pleasures of life. Thanks so much for identifying the problems and for helping me return to health.

I had neck and shoulder pain for quite some time. It seemed to be aggravated by stress, and at times I would be completely unable to turn my head from side to side. After my first appointment, I felt immediate results. Several sessions later I began to feel a greater range of motion, and great relief. This work has been wonderful for me, and has brought a more comprehensive feeling of health and well-being.

When I first came to the office my shoulders were coming out of place (dislocating) quite frequently. After the first visit I could feel the difference; my shoulders got stronger and haven't come out since. Now my shoulders feel like they don't have a problem at all. My favorite thing that helped me was when Dr. Nelson put my shoulder blade back into alignment.

Prior to my being referred to Dr. Nelson, I had been undergoing a slow process of physical therapy at a local hospital through my regular physician. The doctor there had diagnosed my shoulder pain as being "arthritic" and prescribed pain pills and physical therapy, but it appeared that I wasn't progressing fast enough. So, after receiving a cortisone injection to the shoulder from my orthopedic surgeon I sought help from Dr. Nelson. He advised that the injection would speed up the process and with his chiropractic care the shoulder would heal quickly.

I have been coming faithfully to see Dr. Nelson since September 1994, mainly for the frozen right shoulder. But after taking x-rays he found out that there were other problems that attributed to it, which was the neck and back. I enrolled in the long-term chiropractic care treatment because I felt that these other problems needed attention and I wanted him to take care of them. He made me aware that the body reacts in various ways when you also have emotional attitudes and feelings to deal with. They could cause other difficulties.

Dr. Nelson and his method of therapy consisted of physical therapy to the shoulder, adjustments to my back and neck, massage therapy, and me accomplishing certain arm exercises. This form of treatment has changed my life one hundred percent. I am able to participate in aerobic exercises, move my arm around my back, over my head and actually touch the other side, something I was not able to do for a long time. I also learned to dress myself all over again without any assistance. I can now work at my computer for longer periods of time without actually having to get irritated and frustrated with the pain to my neck and back. I am very grateful to Dr. Nelson for his care and patience with my and my shoulder. Thank you.
