chronic neck pain, headaches, and fascia

Over the years I have been in practice, I have seen more cases of NECK PAIN and HEADACHES than you could shake a stick at.  By far, the biggest cause of these problems — probably more common than everything else put together (especially when seen together) — is Motor Vehicle Accidents (MVA).  The situation can be that much worse when served up with a TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY.

These accidents tend to hold the body in place with a seat belt, while allowing the neck to slam violently back and forth.  Although the layman’s term for this is “Whiplash”, in the scientific literature, you will see them referred to as “Acceleration / Deceleration injuries, WAD (Whiplash Associated Disorders), or a whole host of others.  Because these injuries tend to injure the FASCIA, they can escape standard medical tests for years — or even decades. 

What is interesting about Tracy’s case is that I saw her not long after her original accident in 1996.  Unfortunately, I was not yet using the same methods I am now using in the office and was unable to help her.  About 8-10 years ago, out of sheer desperation, she came back in to see if there was something that could be done for her chronic neck pain and headaches.  I told her that I thought I could help her, and the rest is history — until recent MVA brought her back in for a lesser version of the same problem.   Over the years, we’ve also fixed TENNIS ELBOW and DeQUERVAIN’S for Tracy as well.   For more Video Testimonials of real patients, simply CLICK HERE.

Tracy runs a horse therapy center and her husband is an area pastor as well as being a physician who has been in practice longer in Mountain View than any other (Ozark Medical Center / McVicker Family Health Care).  Thanks Tracy!  I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!
