Course of care : 18 visits Cervical Axial Decompression with DRX 9000, Chiropractic Adjustments
Presenting Complaints : Acute neck pain radiating down right shoulder with numbness and tingling
Difficulty sleeping

After years of ice hockey, running two marathons, and other high impact activities, I developed several bulging discs in my neck. The pain was so severe I could not sit, stand, or sleep, let alone stay physically active. I tried various muscle relaxers but they didn’t help and the only course of action seemed very invasive spinal surgery.
Having seen how well AVSC worked for others, I devoted myself to their care. Very rapidly the pain started to disappear. I was back to my regular levels of physical activity and feeling more fit than ever.
There is no better patient care and genuine concern than Dr. Frye and her team.
Thank you for giving me the life back I love.
