My neck was severely injured from a Crossfit class in Seattle last July. Immediately after the injury, I was told by my Spine and Sports Medicine doctor that there was nothing he could do. My neck was bent in the other direction. He didn't recommend surgery or going to a chiropractor. He did suggest physical therapy for the next 3 months. I continued PT for an additional 3 months and still no improvement.
Everyday I had to deal with sharp neck pain, nausea, dizziness, and overall exhaustion. I replaced physical therapy for massage therapy, but it only helped temporarily. During my nights and weekends, I couldn't do much without feeling sick. Even carrying anything heavier than a few pounds, I hurt all over afterwards. It got to a point where my hips started to hurt too just sitting in front of a computer all day long.
I honestly didn't know where to go after 8 months of continuous pain, until my husband found out about Dr. Schallman. He is a miracle chiropractor in Redmond who specializes in NUCAA. I found out that the NUCCA procedure is unique because it frees the nervous system of interference by using a precise, non-invasive, gentle touch technique.
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I wished I had known earlier about Dr. Schallman. In just a few weeks of treatment, my pain went from a 9 down to a 2 and continues to improve. My nausea and dizziness are pretty much gone. Hip pain is gone. I'm no longer sitting on the couch during my weekends in agonizing pain. I'm feeling so much better that I'm having the desire to start running again, but of course I'm not quite there yet. I continue to see him for treatment. I am so thankful that my life has improved significantly. I have HOPE again and that is what Dr. Schallman has given me.
