Success Stories

At our clinic, we treat chronic, severe, and intractable musculoskeletal disorders, including scoliosis, winged scapula, frozen shoulder, neck & shoulder pain, tension headache, TMJ, tendonitis, wrist/elbow/knee/lower back pain, plantar fasciitis, shin splint, runner's leg syndrome, post-surgical pain, limited range of motion (ROM) and muscle dysfunction due to scar tissue and myofascial restriction. We also treated joint pain that could not be tamed with cortisone shots.

Chronic Neck & Shoulder 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 an inconclusive diagnosis of chronic constipation for 17 years. This was resolved once her protruding and upward-pulled left rib cage was softened and flattened through acupuncture treatments. Her spinal deviation was also corrected.  See the image on the left.

Shoulder Joint Pain

Root Cause: Winged Scapula

This patient suffered from chronic, restricted shoulder joint mobility with pain. She was a very dedicated patient to PT, Body Works Therapy, and chiropractic care simultaneously, but she showed no further improvements for years.  She could not swim, which was her favorite activity.  Her winged scapula was corrected, and her shoulder ROM was restored after acupuncture sessions.

Neck Scar Tissue Release

Cause: Surgical Scar

After undergoing a neck laminectomy, the patient faced challenges with a droopy head, making it impossible for him to lift his neck or look up. His range of motion was limited, but he could still turn left and right to a minimal extent. In the first session, we effectively released the scar tissue, enabling him to look upward without pain. By the second treatment, we successfully balanced his neck muscles, restoring his ability to move comfortably in both directions.

Facial Paralysis

Symptom: 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 Frozen Shoulder

Cause: Scar Tissue Restriction after Pacemaker Surgery

After pacemaker surgery, this patient struggled to extend his left arm forward and faced a diminished quality of life, as he found it challenging to perform everyday tasks like putting on a shirt, grabbing dishes, or reaching for a cup. We alleviated his shoulder restriction to help him regain shoulder mobility.

Chronic Headache, Face & Neck Pain

Cause: Jaw Misalignment

This patient suffered from chronic headaches that shoot up from the occipital region to the parietal region of his head. The patient also experience unbearable facial pain on his temporalis region and near his zygomatic arch.  

This patient had TMJ and he had been wearing mouth guard. Once we fixed his jaw movement, the headache, facial and neck symptoms improved significantly.

Restricted Shoulder Joint

Cause: Traumatic Injury

This elderly patient suffered from chronic frozen shoulder with a limited range of motion after several bike crashes.  Before treatment, he was unable to lift his left arm above shoulder level, anteriorly (front) or laterally (side). After treatment, this patient is now pain-free and can lift his arm up and above his head. Noticed how his scapula positioning has been corrected on before and after treatment photos. His upper back spinal alignment is more centered rather than deviating to the right.
