Success with Stenosis, Leg Numbness and Sciatica

 Have you been told your only option is back surgery?  You may have other options,  read this patient success story…

“In July 2011 I started to feel like my body was asleep.  After 2 or 3 weeks I went to my GP and he sent me for an MRI.  The MRI came back showing I had a pinched nerve in my lower back, so he sent me to an Orthopedic Doctor.  He ordered a nerve test and it came back okay. He suggested we do a series of shots in my spine once a week, which did not work.  All of this took me up to about the middle of November when the Doctor said I needed lower spinal surgery, which he could do the first the first week in December. 

By this time it had turned into excessive pain, I was at the point that I had to use a walker to do everything.  I talked to my daughter who lives in Brownsville, Texas and she told her friend who in turn called her doctor in Nebraska who recommended Dr. Besso in Stow, Ohio. To my surprise he was less than 2 miles away.  I called for an appointment and my first was December 7th, 2011.

 Since I started the NUCCA treatments, my progress has been OUTSTANDING.  I am no longer in pain and have been getting back to my normal activities which I was sure I would never be able to do again.  Coming here has also made it easier living in my home as well because I live in split level with stairs to go up and down no matter where you are.  That was hard for me before coming here.  It’s just so wonderful to walk without pain.”

Vision Restored With NUCCA Chiropractic

 

“In October 2011, I was admitted to Children’s Hospital because I had suddenly lost my vision in my left eye.  They ran tests, sent me to ophthalmology, neurology and neurophthalmology, and had me undergo MRIs.  Their final word was that my brain was normal, my eye was normal, and that my eye just wasn’t getting a message from my brain about what it was seeing.  They told me to come back in a few months if my vision did not come back!!  I felt like they weren’t believing what was happening to me and just sending me home.

Just after that, my grandma was in seeing Dr. Besso and was telling him about what had happened.  He asked her to please bring me in as he was just as frustrated as I was about not getting any real answers at the hospital.  When we came in to Besso Clinic of Chiropractic, we were met with friendly faces and very welcomed.  Dr. Besso spent a lot of time asking me about what was happening with my vision and also about all of my past medical issues and even things from when I was much younger.  I finally felt like a doctor was listening to me.   After reviewing the x-rays with us, he told us that a fall I had had late in the summer could have been one of the big issues that may have caused me to gradually lose my vision.  There was some compression in my neck and he was hopeful that if he worked on that, my vision might gradually come back.

After three weeks of treatment, I noticed my eye began to water.  A few days later I could see some hazy light and shortly after that I had some burning pain in my eye for about a day.  The next morning, I could really tell that my vision was coming back.  After a total of close to four weeks, my vision had completely returned!!!!  I have continued my therapy with Dr. Besso to make sure that my neck stays strong and in place.  I have even had some great relief of my arthritis that had been diagnosed just shortly before I had lost my vision!!!

My family all believes that this has been nothing short of a miracle!  We are so grateful to Dr. Besso and his knowledge and that this type of therapy has been so helpful for me.  The timing in having my grandma visiting him and talking about my situation was definitely not a coincidence and I am SO glad we came in to see him! “

So, how can this happen?  Why is a patient recovery like this so shocking to the traditional medical establishment, and maybe even to you the reader?

In a future post I’m going to post a link to some recently published literature on Cerebral Spinal Fluid flow improvement with a Specific Upper Cervical Chiropractic Correction (especially for the analytical readers), and hopefully it will help connect the dots for you.

I believe our body is designed to heal itself.  If a health problem arises your body can heal when given the right support and by ensuring the nerve system is functioning optimally.

The brain controls and coordinates the functions of the rest of the body and if there is a misalignment where the brain meets the body ( at the Atlas, C-1 level) then the nerve system will not function optimally, blood flow and cerebral spinal fluid flow to and from the brain will be compromised, and malfunction throughout the body will ensue.

It’s simple, and I realize the idea is too simple for some to fathom.  But it works.

Thank God!

Success with Computer Neck :)

Success Story

Most people think that when you’re 23 years old, you should be in tip-top shape. However, working at a desk and computer for 9 hours a day can pay havoc on your neck and spine. I couldn’t believe the pain and agony I was beginning to suffer through each day of work. I was cracking my neck constantly, looking for some type of relief. I’d end up with a migraine headache and feeling sick to my stomach by quitting time.

Taking a look at my family history just made me think “Well, this is it. Everyone else in my family deals with neck and back pain every day. It’s just part of my life!” But one day…enough was enough. I searched “Chiropractors near Akron, OH” on my computer and Dr. Besso’s name popped up amongst a large amount of other doctors. I am SO thankful that I decided to contact Dr. Besso and his awesome staff (Autum and Marah)!  I was very interested in the process of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care and wanted to see what I could do for me.

The first appointment consisted of some x-rays of my head and neck. I was in such bad shape that I was having a hard time sitting up straight in the chair. I winced in pain as Dr. Besso positioned my head and shoulders for the film. All of my muscles were so tight and exhausted. I thought to myself, “There’s no way I’ll ever get over this pain. I really hope this works”.

At the next appointment, Dr. Besso showed me the films we took. My spine was starting to develop an S curve, and the natural curve of my neck had begun to straighten out. I was floored…now I could finally see what was causing all of my pain. I opted to begin the care regimen recommended by Dr. Besso and he did the first adjustment that day.

I WAS AMAZED! I sat up from the adjustment table and about 90% of my pain was GONE! The muscles in my neck and back felt like they were coming back to life! From that moment on I was convinced that this was going to work!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Besso for a few months and the benefits of treatment keep getting better and better. My mood has improved immensely, and my body is just feeling better all over. I rarely crack my neck, and my headaches are few and far between.

Thank you SO MUCH Dr. Besso, Autum and Marah!!!
