Arm Pain
Alysia McDonald
For the past three years, I have had noticeable symptoms of thoracic
outlet syndrome—intense pain on my right side across shoulders,
down into my arm with numbness in my ring and small fingers. While
driving I had to turn my whole body to look for traffic versus just
my head. I tried occupational therapy, consulted an orthopedic surgeon
and went to one hour of physical therapy twice a week for 6 months.
The physical therapy relieved the pain and increased some motion,
but not completely.
My results, after being treated by Dr. Salminen, were immediate
relief and the follow-up checkups help keep me at my optimum level.
Now, my range of motion in my neck is normal and the extreme muscle
pain and stiffness on my right side is greatly diminished. I can
drive, do routine household & daily life activities and unexpectedly,
I am sleeping better.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Salminen and NUCCA care, particularly
for those who have been frustrated by other treatments or other
chiropractic techniques. My background is hospital/clinic administration
and I was skeptical, but he has made a believer of me.

I have suffered with numbness in my right arm and leg and have
had digestive problems for 10-12 years. The doctors I saw only gave
me prescription drugs for my stomach and said the numbness was due
to “getting old” and there was not much they could do
for me. After 1 1/2 years of treatment, I gave up on the numbness
and spent lots of money on drugs for reflux.
Since seeing Dr. Salminen, I can eat certain foods with better
results. I can type without as much numbness!! I have more flexibility
and can drive longer without numbness in my leg. I also have better
digestion and feeling in the right side of the body.
The staff was very professional. They were concerned to help and
had the willingness to go the extra “mile”. I would
recommend Dr. Salminen and feel that if he sees the need, he can
help!
