I started having stiffness in my lower back with muscle spasms about a year ago. I was also having shooting pains in my hip and left leg. I had also noticed a weakness in my left leg. The stiffness in my back had gotten progressively worse…to the point that I had to “roll” out of bed in the mornings. About 8 months ago, I slipped and severely sprained my right ankle. I saw an orthopedist for that and when I had recovered, I consulted with him regarding a sore right knee and my lower back. He said he could see no problems and recommended exercise to strengthen my muscles. I was very frustrated and thought there had to be another answer. I was fortunate when I was referred to Dr. Salminen by a friend who spoke highly of him.
Since seeing Dr. Salminen, I can get out of bed each morning without experiencing excruciating lower back pain. Before NUCCA, I couldn’t stand for more than a few minutes. Now I have no pain while standing or sitting and I can walk better. The pain in right knee is also much better. The weakness in my left leg is gone and I feel back to my “old self” when I go walking. I sleep so much better and I feel a lot less stress because of that.
Dr. Salminen and Dr. Weniger have always made sure I understood what was being done and made me feel comfortable about asking questions. The last time I saw a chiropractor was 25 years ago and the treatment hurt. This time there was no pain involved—just relief. NUCCA is a wonderful method that has turned me into a believer of this type of chiropractic care and Dr. Salminen specifically.
