I used to be healthy but now I'm not and nothing seems to help! I was in an AUTO ACCIDENT and am having problems with my health I wake up in the morning and my neck and back hurt
I bent over to grab [.....] and I couldn't get up!

I can't turn my head or body as far to one side as the other
I was given expensive pills and told to "LIVE WITH IT!"I just don't feel right!

If so I can likely help you!
Too often people are told to take pills, get more exercise, change diet etc. when the cause is an internal change. This change is often post traumatic. However, it may be months or years before the injury manifests itself enough to create obvious symptoms. The body is a self healing structure that relies on the brain to coordinate all functions including healing. The brain sends and receives input to and from all parts of the body through a intricate nerve network. This system protected by the skull and spine can become damaged or compromised by injury. The most common site effected is in the upper cervical spine; particularly the ATLAS and AXIS vertebrae.
Most patients present postural conditions along with common neurological effects such as headaches, numbness, joint pain, spasms as well as sensory or motor deficits.
We do find most people with some degree of problem due to the degree of falls, jars and jolts they have experienced from childhood that were left uncorrected. Correction usually results in significant improvement!

“I always get these headaches that are so painful that they are debilitating and sometimes coupled with flashing lights in my vision. No matter how many pain medications I take, nothing does the trick.”
“I occasionally get persistent ringing in the ears. I’m provided a diagnosis but no long term solution beyond ‘you’ll have to learn to live with it, but don’t worry - it’s not life threatening.’”
“I've had this nagging back pain for years! I’ve tried several over the counter and prescription medications, been to physical therapy and even considered surgery. Nothing seems to offer lasting relief.”
“I seem to be more forgetful and I feel as though I’m in a fog. I come up with all kinds of theories why I feel like this and tried all sorts of things. I don’t want to try another supplement or fad diet. I just know life isn’t supposed to feel this way.
“Your blood pressure is through the roof!” During my annual checkup I was told I had high blood pressure. Nothing’s changed in my life – what caused this? They gave me some pills for it, but now I’m worried. Will I have to take these for the rest of my life?”
“Why are my children having a hard time paying attention and concentrating in class? The teacher is concerned that they might have an attention disorder and encouraging the use of medication. Why does this seem to be a common epidemic among children today?”
