A 32-year old health care professional, who had a big "hump" on her upper thoracic spine. She recently saw an old friend who was astonished at how different her spine appeared. He used to tease her about it, but now it's gone.
A 28-year old woman, yoga practitioner, who used to frequently feel faint at work with chronic spinal pain and tension. She suffered from low energy. After 2 months at SWC she is feeling remarkably well. She barely notices any pain, has boundless energy and no longer feels faint during a hard day/night as a waitress.
Prior to coming to SWC, a 60-year old woman had been through one of the biggest ordeals we had ever recorded. She had visited 14 other practitioners including the best headache neurologist in upstate NY. She was on three dangerous meds to control a rare form of headache that immediately incapacitated her if she didn't take the meds everyday in spite of doing all sorts of wellness activities and paying very close attention to diet. The doctors knew she could not stay on these drugs much longer because of their toxicity.
She has now gone 2 weeks using only a half dose of one of the drugs. This is unprecedented since the headaches began. We have hope that with continued structural improvement we can make the headaches stop and have her drug free. If it's not a tumor or a fracture or an infection, there is an extremely good likelihood that we are going to be able to help where others cannot.
The 56-year-old practice member who came in today bragging how he was (during his annual visit) able to tell his cardiologist that all his past problems and symptoms are gone since he has gotten his spine corrected here. He was happy to report that the cardiologist actually listened to and validated him.
The 19-year old collegiate athlete who had been to a dozen other doctors and therapists and trainers in hopes of finding answers and getting her back on the playing field after missing most of the past season and being in pain for over a year. Three weeks with us and she is performing like a champ again, playing a position that had been impossible last year. Do you think she and her parents are happy?
We know her coach is.
That last one reminds of the case a few years ago of a high school golfer who, despite the interventions of coaches, trainers, and medical doctors, got herself so screwed up she could hardly play and was using a belly putter (usually reserved for old people) because she could not bend over. She had quite a scoliosis, but within a year she was the number 2 scholastic golfer in New York State, and once carded a 69 in tournament play.
