I had headache, shoulders, neck pain for over 4 years. It was so painful that I could not focus and to the point that I had difficulty to turn my neck around when driving. I couldn't take my beloved yoga classes, it also effects my work when using computer.
I could not seat, stand or lay down for too long, I have to keep changing positions. In April, I was in so much pain I end up went to see spine surgeon Dr. Todd Peters, from my MRI results there was nothing him could help, no surgery needed but he recommended me to see physical therapy. I found a very good Master Physical Therapy. After attending twice a week for 3 months, pain reduced, but I still could not turn my neck.
I went back to see Dr. Peters asked him is there anything else that he could recommend. Thanks to Dr. Peters, he referred my to see Chiropractor Dr. Elizabeth Hoefer. I made the appointment right away, my first treatment was in August. Dr. Hoefer spent 3 hours with me. She listened all my problems, took 3D X-ray, my accident history, she found out the reason causing pain was because I had a car accident when I was 12, a car hit me I landed on my both feet. I had broken both ankles and 2 compressed spine.
I was on wheelchair over 1 year, 2 surgeries, I was wearing hard and soft structure many years to sport my back but causing my mid back and Cervical/neck spine has no S shape and being too straight which my neck starts worn out and off alignment.
Dr. Hoefer made an adjustment at my first visit, I was feeling much better in 5 days. This is my 3rd weeks with 4th visit to check out if the adjustment hold well. I now have my life back, taking 5-7 yoga classes per week. I was feeling anxious that went away as well.
I read Yelp reviews but usually don't Write an reviews. I want to share my experience with you and hope if you are in pain, please come to see Dr. Hoefer. Thank You Dr. Hoefer is here for me and all the patients in need. read more
