Scoliosis should not mean surgery - explore NUCCA

“Trust is a big issue for me; especially when it comes to getting treatment. Not just for myself, but for my children as well.

My youngest daughter has scoliosis. She wore a back brace for almost 10 months. Unfortunately, the brace wasn’t helping because the curves in her shoulder and lower back were getting worse. Surgery was looking almost like a reality. I decided to take my daughter to visit Dr. Fryer to see if he could help her. Sure enough, he said, “Yes”. To ease my daughter’s concerns she watched Dr. Fryer work on my neck. She decided to go ahead with the treatment.

It has been well over a month and I am noticing big changes in how my daughter lives her life. No more back brace! A whole lot less back pain. Curves are now down to a minimal to where surgery is not needed. Also, her confidence level has risen due to being able to move with ease, (especially touching her toes without bending her knees for the first time – that was huge!). Today, my daughter is exercising and eating healthier because she realizes that her dream of becoming a professional soccer player can come true.” –Patricia B. about her daughter

Don't just supress your migraine, stop it!

http://www.thebalancedspine.com  Chronicled within is a story about a patient who suffered from migraines. Medicine sometimes worked…but he questioned whether there was something to prevent these migraines. What caused his migraines? Bad posture? Wrong exercise?

During his excruciating migraine episodes he would experience light sensitivity, it was hard to do work, he just wanted to lie down and shut eyes. Migraine sufferers often find that their life comes to a screeching halt when afflicted with an episode.

At The Balanced Spine he was offered solutions beyond just a quick fix or fast pain relief. He received patient education on eating well, moving well, and thinking well. At first he was skeptical about NUCCA's gentleness. It seemed too gentle to actually be effective. The adjustment or correction was not at all like chiropractor, and suspected this might be some “snake-oil” ruse. But after research and experiencing relief and effects, he dispelled his skepticism.
 
Our doctors practice a unique form of chiropractic called NUCCA. The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association technique bears no resemblance to the popping, twisting and thrusting of common chiropractic. NUCCA is very gentle in application; it generally feels like a light pressure behind the ear.
 
A week into his treatment he felt disoriented actually being in alignment. His posture had been so distorted over the years that it took a while for him to adjust to "normal". Over the course of care he learned to take cues from his body and learned the causes behind his migraines.

Desk-job delivers knock-out punch to this patient's spine

http://www.thebalancedspine.com Chronicled in this video is a story about a patient who suffered impact injuries from snowboarding, skateboarding and car accidents. After such intense impacts, his body recovered only superficially, but structurally he experienced lasting damage. It was when he got a new job which introduced a sustained sitting posture that he exacerbated his injuries, causing him migraines and upper back pain.

It is unnatural (for humans) to sit for prolonged amounts of time, and a desk-job can actually be far more damaging to the body than a snowboard accident! This new sedentary lifestyle after experiencing his impact injuries, brought to the surface MIGRAINES and UPPER BACK PAIN in this patient.

It was only when this patient visited The Balanced Spine that he discovered relief from his pain and got on track to returning his spine to a balanced state. Each office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to determine the nature and severity of your condition. Our gentle approach differentiates us from other chiropractic care. We do not deliver the NUCCA correction with any twisting, popping or cracking typically associated with chiropractic. This is a great relief to our patients who have anxieties about any forceful thrusting in the procedure. Call to see if The Balanced Spine can help you with your past injuries, and return your body to a healthy position. (425) 437-9974 Redmond, WA or (425) 369-1040 Issaquah, WA.
