Auto Accident
Kelly Winn
My first experience with chiropractic was not such a good one.
I started out as a patient for students which fortunately ended
just about as fast as it began. Seven years ago, I experienced severe
trauma to my head, neck, and body in a very serious car accident.
I lived day to day with pain in my neck and back and I just assumed
that I would just have to live and deal with it.
I was referred to Dr. Salminen by his sister-in-law who seemed
to swear he was the best. I thought I would give it a shot and here
I am. The first visit proved to myself that I was severely “crooked’,
and Dr. Salminen said he could fix me. After I had my first adjustment
I was a little sore for the following days, but after the soreness
went away I was beginning to notice an evenness throughout my body.
After only a couple of adjustments I was starting to hold and by
this time my body was feeling 100% better. I am a very active person
doing horseback riding and mountain biking on a daily basis. I am
now down to coming every three weeks and I feel much relief while
in my daily activities. I am as big of a skeptic as they come but
I will swear by the NUCCA method and Dr. Salminen’s talent
that there is relief and correction.

For 4 years I have suffered from left sided shoulder and neck pain
ever since my car accident. The problem has progressed to where
pain radiates down my arm into my fingers. There is numbness there
as well. My low back hurts with pain in my tailbone.
During the 4 years I had gone to a traditional chiropractic where
they pop your neck, but that did not help. I hated the crunching
of my bones! I also went to a massage therapist, but the problem
still persisted. My problem has cost over $5,000 before seeing Dr.
Salminen.
Dr. Salminen has an honest approach, which I like. The NUCCA procedure
is gentle and there is NO BONE CRUNCHING like traditional chiropractors.
After Dr. Salminen did the first correction my shoulder and neck
pain instantly started going away. Now I don’t have the pain
there anymore. My outlook on my daily life and activities has much
improved! I sleep better. I’m more relaxed, happier, and I’m
not struggling with pain—as a result I smile more.
I am a testimony as to the change and difference the NUCCA procedure
can make in someone’s whole life. I have shared my experience
here with several people and encourage them to at least get their
spines checked for a misalignment. It is my pleasure to recommend
Dr. Salminen and the Alpha Spine Center for your healthcare needs
Research
Determining the Relationship Between Cervical Lordosis and Neck
Complaints?J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2005 (Mar); 28 (3): 187-193?In
a study of 277 lateral cervical x-rays, patients with lordosis of
20° or less were more likely to have cervicogenic symptoms (P
< .001). The association between cervical pain and lordosis of
0° or less was significant (P < .0001). The odds that a patient
with cervical pain had a lordosis of 0° or less was 18 times
greater than for a patient with a noncervical complaint. Patients
with cervical pain had less lordosis and this was consistent over
all age ranges.
