Dr. Bracco has saved me from severe pain at least three times. The first time, many years ago when I had severe back pain and I could hardly move, and the Neurologist prescribed exercise and not using a Chiropractor, I went to Dr. Bracco with a copy of my x-ray; he asked me if one leg was shorter than the other as he saw that my spine opened on the left side; my body was compensating for a left side injury where my left side leg did not grow as much as the right side; he relieved the pain with his chiropractic manipulation. The second time, at the beginning of 2010, I had severe pain after I had a job that required me to wear a service belt holding heavy equipment; Dr. Bracco relieved that pain, and I wore a back support in an attempt to prevent further stress. Now, the third time, I had severe leg pain in both legs with spasms, where I could not walk, stand or sit pain free for about four months; I was taking 400 mgs of Gabapentin & 400 mgs Tylenol each day to relieve some pain; the Orthopedic doctor only saw some arthritis and prescribed Physical Therapy when I could hardly move; when Dr. Bracco saw the paper copy of the x-ray, he showed me that the right side of the spine twisted; I guess this is what the body does to the side where the leg is longer than the other side; so Dr. Bracco's manipulation includes stretching the right leg, thus decreasing the twist; with these manipulations with Dr. Bracco, I have eliminated the Tylenol use, and I have gradually reduced the Gabapentin to one tab every other day since this is not a drug that one is allowed to stop immediately. I cannot write enough to explain my gratitude towards Dr. Bracco for his help in eliminating all of my severe pain, nearly eliminating all pain, and explaining what he sees in the x-ray copies. read more
