I Have had chronic pain in my shoulder, lower back and thumbs for over twenty years, and neck pain for the past six months, all quite severe.An orthopedist checked my thumbs & shoulder. I had physical therapy for about six months and acupuncture for about 3 months. I also used pain patches and pain medication. The above treatments treated only the symptoms and only gave me temporary relief. The pain kept coming back.My Friend Referred me to Chiropractic in Las Vegas and after only six weeks of chiropractic adjustments with chiropractic doctor and a weekly massage, addressing the trigger points, I have experienced significant relief, increased freedom of movement and a greater sense of well-being. The root causes of the pain are being addressed, not just the symptoms.. Sometimes I am even totally pain free. I am optimistic that eventually I can be pain-free most of the time. Incredible! The results have been superb!
