Relief After 40 Years… An Interview With a Local Man About Neck Pain

Issue 43.09

This article is an interview with an actual neck pain patient from St. George.  John W., age 73, had neck pain ever since a car accident in 1963.  He had been to many different doctors where he found only temporary relief.  “In those 40 years I have found the most relief after visiting Advanced Spine & Rehab,” he said.

How did you feel before coming into AS&R?

Ever since the accident I have had neck pain and stiffness.  My range of motion had become very limited.  The pain and muscle spasms would randomly come on after simple movements like turning my head.  I would rate my pain at 7/10.  It was very frustrating.

What kind of care had you previously received?

I had received previous chiropractic care, diathermy, acupressure, and decompression.  They all seemed to help, but the relief was always temporary.

How was treatment at this clinic different?

I previously found that chiropractic care and decompression helped me the most.  AS&R offered a similar treatment but integrated it with neck exercises on the Multi-Cervical Unit.  I feel that really helped.  Instead of the pain coming back, I felt the pain gradually decrease.

How do you feel now?

This has been the best total relief I have experienced in the last 40 years.  I used to notice popping and crunching sounds in my neck when I moved around.  I now don’t hear that at all.  I feel my range of motion is back to normal for my age.  I have very few spasms.  I am able to check my blind spot while driving.  Previously I had to depend on the rear view mirror exclusively.

How is this clinic different than others you’ve been to?

The clinic here is more advanced than I have seen with other providers.  The doctors and staff are very caring.  The experience was more fun than a usual doctor visit.  You look forward to coming in for treatment.  I also felt the doctors and staff had a better handle on my insurance benefits.  I’m glad I made the decision to visit this clinic.
