Neck Pain
Dr. Rob Frisbie
Hello, my name is Dr. Robert Frisbie. I came to Dr. Salminen with
neck tension, back tension and GI problems. I had been suffering
with these symptoms for several years. I had seen 10-12 chiropractors
and spent several thousand dollars but did not get any relief.
Before care, I was constantly aware of the tension in my neck and
back. I started to “live with it.” Thanks to Dr. Salminen’s
commitment to fix my problem and not just patch it up, I no longer
live with it. Most of the time I am tension free. I have noticed
a greater range of motion when I turn my head, and an increase in
energy. My posture is better and I have fought off colds more easily
this season.
I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Salminen. He is one of the
finest chiropractors in the country. Dr. Salminen and Dr. Weniger
truly care about people and it shows.
Research
Chiropractic Treatment of Cervical Radiculopathy Caused by a Herniated
Cervical Disc J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1994 (Feb); 17 (2): 119—123?Conservative
treatment including chiropractic manipulative therapy seems to be
a reasonable alternative to surgery, for cervical radiculopathy
caused by a herniated cervical disc. Clinical trials should be performed
to evaluate long term success rate, risk of permanent disability,
rate of recovery and cost effectiveness of this and other forms
of treatment for cervical radiculopathy caused by herniated nucleus
pulposus findings.
Chiropractic Management and Manipulative Therapy for MRI Documented
Cervical Disk Herniation?J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1994 (Mar);
17 (3): 177—185 The patients were prescribed a treatment regimen
consisting of chiropractic management including bracing, physiotherapy,
cervical manipulative procedures, traction and exercises. The patients
responded well to care as evidence by posttreatment MRI, electrodiagnostic
studies, clinical exam findings and thermography scan findings.
Patients with and without nerve root compression secondary to cervical
disk herniation can and do respond well to chiropractic care. Chiropractic
management of this condition can and should be employed prior to
more invasive treatment.
