Jenny, a woman in her mid-forties, came to see me as a last resort. Although she lived some distance from my office, her cousin who is a patient of mine, convinced her to make the trip. After examining her, I explained that while she may very well have nerve root impingement, she also had a shoulder, elbow, and wrist problem probably brought on by the impact as she braced herself with the steering wheel. She had the typical cervicothoracic joint fixations and tender, most likely active, trigger points in the upper trapezius, supraspinatus, levator scapula, and extensor pollicis longus muscles. It took a few months to eliminate all of her pain, but all of her pain was, in fact, eliminated. "Oh my God Doc! My neck would have been stiff for the rest of my life and I would still have the pain anyway!" Needless to say, she has been referring everybody she knows ever since.

I had used Gonstead cervical chair adjustments as well as Herron extremity adjusting and a little bit of Graston technique. It was all very useful. What I believe made the difference for Jenny and has made the difference for several hundred patients that I have treated with it over the past 12 years is a technique that I picked up almost by accident from research done in Turkey in 2004. The method was described in a letter to a colleague way back in the 80's by Dr. Janet Travell. It is without a doubt one of the most potent, and for trigger points THE most potent, techniques I have in my therapeutic armamentarium. The results are consistent and consistently amaze my patients and me. I mean AMAZE, as in "blow away".

As I move rapidly toward my 8th decade, it is a comfort to know that should I be unable at some point to manually adjust my patients, I can continue to help people in dire straits with this simple, straightforward, and inexpensive method.

So if you want a technique that you can learn quickly, using inexpensive equipment to help you with your most difficult or simple cases, just subscribe to the class. The fee reflects the cost of having a professionally shot and edited video with professional lighting and sound quality and multiple camera angles so that you can best see and hear the instruction. It also allows me to take time away from my practice to assist you online or via telephone. Although it will take experience and effort to master, you will be able to treat a patient immediately after viewing the video once. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I am here to make sure that you get it exactly right.
