Chronic Neck, Shoulder & Lower Back Pain + 17 years of constipation

Root Cause: Scoliosis

This patient had severe, constant, chronic neck and shoulder pain with palpable cervical protrusion. The pain often led to tension headaches. Additionally, she had mild lower back pain and an inconclusive diagnosis of chronic constipation for 17 years. Her constipation issue was resolved once acupuncture treatments softened her protruding, upward-pulled left rib cage fascia tension. Her spinal deviation was also corrected, which resolved her neck, shoulder, and lower back pain issues.

Shoulder Joint Pain

Root Cause: Winged Scapula

This patient suffered from chronic, restricted shoulder mobility with pain. She was a very dedicated patient to a weekly routine of physical therapy, bodywork therapy, and chiropractic care, but she showed no further improvement over the years.  She still could not swim, which was her favorite activity.  After receiving treatments from our clinic, her winged scapula finally improved, and her shoulder range of motion returned.

Chronic Frozen Shoulder

Cause: Traumatic Injuries

This elderly patient suffered from years of chronic frozen shoulder. He had a limited range of motion after several bike crashes. Before treatment, he was unable to lift his left arm above his shoulder. After treatment, this patient is able to lift his arm above his head. Noticed the muscle tension and positioning on his left scapula was improved. His spinal alignment was also corrected toward the midline instead of deviating to the right.

Frozen Neck 

Cause: Post-surgical scar tissue adhesion

After major neck surgery (laminectomy), this patient faced challenges with a frozen neck and a droopy head, making it impossible for him to lift his head as the days went on. He had a very limited range of motion, but he could still turn left and right to a minimal extent. During the first session, we effectively released the scar tissue, enabling him to look upward without tension or pain. In the second treatment, we successfully balanced his neck muscles, restoring his ability to turn left and right comfortably in both directions.

Sciatica Pain

Cause: Hip and Shoulder Muscle Imbalances

This patient suffered from chronic sciatica pain in his left leg and a right frozen shoulder. During our initial assessment, we noticed that his body was deviated to the right. His upper body leaned to the right, and his left hip slanted outward.  After the first treatment session, we restored his posture to proper alignment. His sciatic nerve pain was significantly relieved. For the subsequent treatment, we focused on restoring his right frozen shoulder.

Facial Paralysis

Cause: Bell's Palsy

This patient was diagnosed with Bell's palsy by his primary care physician, resulting in paralysis of the right side of his face. Patients are typically advised to wait for spontaneous recovery of facial muscle function — a process that often takes six months or longer. In some cases, the condition becomes chronic, leaving the facial damage permanent.

After two weeks of treatment with our approach, this patient showed significant improvement in facial muscle control, as demonstrated in the videos. Our method for addressing facial paralysis accelerates the recovery process, with results often visible within weeks rather than several months. â€‹

Chronic TMJ, Headache, Face & Neck Pain

Cause: Neck and Jaw Misalignment

This patient suffered from chronic TMJ with right-sided facial and neck pain that radiated to the occipital, temporal, and parietal regions of his head. 

He wore a mouth guard to relieve the symptoms, but it didn't address the root cause. After receiving care at our clinic, the patient's neck and jaw tension eased up, and his condition improved significantly. We noticed the patient could open his mouth more effortlessly and smoothly within the center line.

Shoulder Pain with Limited ROM

Cause: Scar Tissue Adhesion after Pacemaker Surgery

After pacemaker surgery, this patient reported that he was struggling to extend his left arm forward and experienced a diminished quality of life. He found it challenging to perform simple daily tasks such as grabbing dishes or reaching for a cup. We improved his range of motion and reduced his shoulder restriction, pain, and muscle tension to help him regain mobility.
