chronic neck pain, piriformis syndrome, and a combination of both

I often have people ask me why I only see patients three days a week (MW&F).  Rather than simply tell you, I am going to show you what patient days are typically like for me. 

To get everything done that needs to be done, I usually get out of bed between 3:30 and 4:00 am.  The first thing I do is a bit of Bible Study.  This week, Bible Study was a bigger issue since I was asked to teach at Sunday morning service.  I then take the time to answer as many emails as I can.  They usually start like this; “Dear Dr. Russ, I have **********.  Do you think you can help me?  Then I try and throw up a Blog Post.  Sometimes this is a new post, or sometimes it might be a post from the 45 or so that are currently be in my “Drafts” file.  During this time, I am usually drinking my breakfast —- something with SP COMPLETE and GREENS in it.  When I finish what I am doing (or simply run out of time), I jump in the shower, get dressed, and make the five minute trip to my office.

Although I do not see regular patients on Tuesdays and Thursdays, T&T mornings is when I typically see our OUT-OF-STATE PATIENTS.  What do I do the rest of the time on those days?  Since we home school, I spend a fair bit of time working with our four kids on Math and Science, as well as History and Bible.  If we plan for it, we sometimes get to go to THE RIVER or DO SOMETHING FUN.  Needless to say, I am almost always busy working on something.

Patient Testimonials are one of the coolest ways I know to convey to others that the things I do in my clinic are radically different than most others are doing in theirs.  When someone agrees to do a Video Testimonial for us, the first thing I tell them is that it is not a commercial.  All we want is their story.  Some of these are exceedingly powerful (HERE for instance). 

Below are the three Videos we shot yesterday.  The first (Daniel) is one man’s experience with being relieved of 10 years of CHRONIC NECK PAIN.  Second comes Anna’s relief after a decade of pain that finally progressed to full-blown PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME with Sciatica.  And lastly is Carin’s description of what it is like to find a solution to years and years of Chronic Neck Pain and Piriformis Syndrome (by the way, if you are trying to place Carin’s accent, it is South African).  If you liked the videos on this page, take a look at THESE VIDEO TESTIMONIALS as well.  Enjoy!
