AFTER BEFORE
As of March, it has been three years since I left your clinic.
I spent twelve weeks at your clinic and I left in full remission. For a few months after that the rest of the conditions that I mentioned cleared. Currently, my only health problems are mild allergies and asthma, and I am about to start my second year in college. I am in the honors program, am an avid cyclist, and am a member and secretary for my school's hiking club. Once again, thank you for your clinic. If it wasn't for your help I would undoubtedly be in a wheelchair with a contorted back, severe tremors in my arms and legs, on oxygen, and I probably wouldn't be speaking very well. I know that I wouldn't be in college, let alone with a dual major and a triple minor, seeing as high school was an immense battle before I went into remission.My duties with the SERT Team are to encounter violent and dangerous suspects that are under arrest and rescue hostages from danger and bring bad situations under control. In April of 2007 one such encounter caused some serious injury to my neck and cervical spine. After the injury I saw a chiropractor because of a chronic neck pain but after several weeks of treatment I was not getting relief I needed. After seeing my family doctor I had an MRI done and was diagnosed with a serious herniated disc in my cervical spine that required immediate surgery.
I never had any type of back or neck surgery before and I went to a well known top surgeon who recommended immediate surgery to repair the damage. In October of 2007 I had a Laminectomy performed with a fusion of my C-5 and C6 spine. I was in good shape after surgery and was planning on starting back to work in January 2008. In late December just before my anticipated return to work, I began to have serious pain in my left shoulder and down the left arm that was 24/7 to where I could not sleep or do anything without serious pain and discomfort.
I returned to see my surgeon in January 2008 about the problem and discovered that I had developed Stenosis (scar tissue) in the area of my recent surgery and it would require another neck surgery called a Foraminotomy to remove and relieve the pressure on my spinal cord that was causing my chronic pain. I had that second neck surgery in February of 2008 and I got immediate relief and my pain was gone. One month later I returned to work.
In July of 2011 I began to have a loss of strength in my right hand that was accompanied by numbness and tingling. Once again, I returned to see my surgeon believing that I was experiencing more neck issues that was causing my loss of function. The surgeon did some tests after reading an MRI I had done and determined that I was suffering from some neck issues but that he felt my real problem in my right arm and hand was from an impingement (pinched nerve)in my right elbow. I saw a specialist about the elbow problem who wanted to do surgery to correct it. This left me with still having to deal with my neck problem and I began to search for non surgery options. It seemed to me that these series of neck surgeries were going to be more prevalent in my life and I needed to find other options when I realized the surgeries were only temporary fixes and my problem would return. I do not want to have anymore surgery on my spine.
A friend of another Johnstown native told me about Dr. Bob Corcetti and how he was able to help a local man who had 18 back surgeries. I made an appointment with Dr. Bob and began the Neurologic Relief Centers treatment with him September of 2011. Dr. Bob educated me about what was causing my neck issues and my loss of function with my arm.
Since September, the Neurologic Relief Centers treatment I have received from Dr. Bob has all but eliminated my numbness and tingling in the right hand and I have begun to regain the strength back in the hand as well. It has been a slow process but I am very happy with the results I have had since my treatment began with Dr. Bob Corcetti.
Dr. Bob will spend whatever time it takes to heal your problem and he is pretty straight forward with his treatment. He accomplishes the task by encouraging you and coaching you to accomplish your realistic goals and objectives. I trust Dr. Bob and I follow his instructions very closely. I feel that his treatment has opened the door to not having any further surgery. I feel good and enjoy my demanding life style. What a great feeling to know that there are alternatives and people like Dr. Bob to heal you free you from pain!

I have fibromyalgia, digestion disorders, had lots of pain & headaches. I had blood drawn & they sent it in to have it tested. From this I found I was gluten intolerant, also intolerant to anything made from cows milk & some other food allergies. I have found that if I completely eliminate these foods, I do feel better and my digestion improves. It's not easy but it can be done.
Philllipsburg Chiropractic then offered NRCT™ (Neurological Relief Center Technique) for my fibromyalgia pain. It took a while but now my fibro pain is much less.
There is no pain involved in the treatments and the whole staff is so kind and helpful. Dr. Susan Buchanan did most of my treatments. She is wonderful. She treats me with love and dignity. She always wants to know how I'm doing. I have never had a medical doctor or Chiropractor take me out of my jaw pain (TMJ) like she can. Its the place to go if you want to feel better.

Dear Dr. Faith,
I want to tell my story so that you may share with others the wonderful and miraculous things that happen in your office.
I discovered Dr Faith through what I believe is 'Divine Intervention'. It was through a random contact regarding my business and had nothing to do with my health. This person was based in New York. She told me of the Neurologic Relief Centers and Dr. Faith.
The consultation was free, so I thought, well, I have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I was welcomed into Dr. Faith's office like I was a good friend, her warm and caring manner helps heal your spirit. She really cares about her patients being well.
I started treatment one month ago. Since that time I have made great strides in my recovery. For 5 months I had an issue with lifting my right leg. After 3 treatments, I walked up 2 flights of stairs without holding on to the railing! The muscle spasms and numbness have subsided, my thinking is clear and I can hold a conversation without stammering, my speech has returned to normal, the weeping/laughing syndrome has subsided, my memory has improved, my motor skills are normal. I have cut my blood pressure and cholesterol meds in half. Eventually, I believe I won't take them at all. All of these results in one month with no drugs, just Dr. Faith's healing touch.
I am a business owner and today, for the first time in six months, I returned to work and was able to function.
I hope my story gives hope to those that are suffering. You can continue to live a healthy, happy, productive life if you choose to.
Thank you Dr. Faith, for giving me my life back.
Sincerely,
Shirley Lewis
Jackie Pearson came in last at the 2010 Riverless Festival Fun Run/Walk in Phillipsburg, KS, June 5. But for her, that was great. "A year ago, I could barely walk," she said. Now she's finishing a 2 mile Fun Run/Walk.She has had back problems since she was a teen and fibromyalgia symptoms since her 20's. For most of her life she has had headaches and chronic pain. Her doctors "had no idea what was causing the pain" and told her it was "all in your head."
She had gone to chiropractors off and on throughout her life, and in August of 2008 she came to The Phillipsburg Chiropractic Center. She came in with sciatica and fibro pains. She had muscle problems and stress that kept her back from staying in place after Dr. Dustin Cheney would adjust her. But he persisted and eventually her back began to stay and her pain started easing up.
Then she fell and injured her hip. After that she started working with Dr. Susan Buchanan-Cheney, using acupuncture to relieve some of the pain and to work on her fibro pains as well.
When the Center adopted NRCT - Neurological Relief Center Technique - Dr. Hamed Kian began treating her with that. Jackie said that for years she had woken up with headaches, fibro pains, arthritis and other chronic ailments. After starting the NRCT it has reduced her pains so she "feels like a different person."
"Now I feel like I have a future and can actually get better."
So, when Dr. Kian formed the walking/running fitness club to train for the Riverless Fun Run/Walk, he asked her if she thought she could do it. After giving it some thought, she said yes and started training.The group started out with walking about 3/4 of a mile and gradually increased the distance. When we eventually got to the 2 mile distance, it took Jackie an hour to walk it, but she managed to do the whole distance. She then dropped her time to 55 minutes, and by race day, she completed the 2 mile course in 50.26 minutes. Last place, but she finished it.
Race day was hot and humid, but she kept going with motivation by the group and a determination to not give up.
"I've always put others first," she said. "My husband, son and anyone else who needed something. This was the first time I did something for myself." Just turning 55, Jackie feels she is at a turning point in her life, and is working to lose some weight, get healthier and enjoy life. With her determination and support from her group, everything is looking up from here.
Thank you to the wonderful doctor and his great staff. They are the best!

My name is Donna and I’ve had fibromyalgia (FMS) for more than 36 years and counting. My husband located Dr. Fynnardt’s ad, for a seminar on the new NRCT™ treatments for FMS, in the paper for me. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be telling you my story. I had not been diagnosed with FMS until I began my journey with Dr. F. I’m proud to say that I’m his very first patient to receive the NRCT treatments. It’s been exciting to be a part of this new medical discovery and research that will help make these treatments become an officially recognized option. I know it’s just the beginning of hope and healing to come for so many. Since the relief test I had at Dr. F’s seminar, I have had amazing results. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t tried it. It’s funny, because I went with my sister in mind. She has FMS and I thought I might get new information for her. She and my mother kept telling me they suspected I had FMS and I should find out. I didn’t bother because I knew there wasn’t a cure and over the years, got fed up with doctors, tests which showed nothing, pill pushing, hearing I was depressed, hearing it was in my head, being told you’re just going to have to live with it (to name a few.) It made me feel worse, so I quit going. I’ve been living with horrible widespread disabling pain and a multitude of diseases and illnesses, which have been progressively deteriorating my body and my ability to function. FMS takes over your life and you become its victim. Not sleeping, anxiety, depression, running on adrenalin 24/7 despite the pain and exhaustion and not being able to stop yourself, taking up to 3 hours from getting out of bed to being able to move and function, my neck became like cement, with a searing and burning pain that felt like I was on fire, as though my nerves were completely exposed, experiencing unbearable hip pain, migraines, chronic myofascial pain (CMP), GERD, IBS, increasingly higher levels of pain to adjust to and cope with, not able to take a deep breath, plus all the surgeries, procedures, new problems popping up and becoming disabled to the point of barely getting off the couch, the list is endless. It alters every ounce of daily life and forces you into another place, challenging you every moment, mentally, physically and emotionally. This thing had taken control and shattered my quality of life. I was no longer in charge and felt like I was dying. It affects all of our loved ones too. How could I explain what was happening to me when I didn’t know myself, until now. So here I am, saving myself, getting the healing I was led to and meant to have. I am a success story! NRCT treatments have changed me and given me my life and a much better quality of life back. Dr. F. has made that a reality for me.
From the beginning, I felt like I was being reborn. My neck and jaw are loose and can move. Freedom of movement is all so new to me and feels like a whole new world with every change. Each breakthrough is a huge accomplishment. I can breathe without pain and I can take long, slow deep breaths. I’m able to go for walks again. I can move my hands and fingers without all the pain, swelling and stiffness. I have renewed hope and set a new goal for myself. I plan to hike the Rocky Mountains again with my husband. I actually set that goal very early in my treatment plan. I went from feeling like I was dying to knowing I was going to keep improving. I’m smiling and looking forward to a better quality of life for myself, my family and loved ones. I never imagined there would ever be relief from the maddening pain and adrenalin burning out my body, not in my lifetime anyway. But here I am, it’s happening and very real. No more “road runner” for me, with a list of a million things to do that I made impossible to ever fulfill because after tackling the first 100 things, I added 100 more to the bottom. My mind and body have reconnected and the right messages are finally getting through. I’m back in control. I can stand up. I can stop anytime and sit down if I want to. I know what it’s like to relax now. I’m in charge of my life and making my own choices. My “fribrofog” and forgetfulness have improved. I can complete thoughts and express myself without all of the frustration and stress. I’m able to sleep and give my body the time it needs to work on healing all the years of damage it has endured. I’m relearning many things and with time will be letting go of bad habits my body created over the years, trying to adjust to a different way of life. The transformations going on in my body are astounding. I’m in awe when I think of all the repair work going on and what needs to be accomplished. Every day gets better. Can you imagine?
I’m in the process of ending my intensive treatment adventure. I’m graduating and will be released soon. I’ve been told that my smile and enthusiasm are inspiring and contagious. It’s wonderful to hear because I feel like I’m glowing and radiating my life energy now. No more pretending and trying to hide pain, that’s so draining and shows no matter how hard you try to smile. I’m filled with relief. I’ll never forget my journey from the darkness into the warm touch of the sun on my face and the wind in my hair. How wonderful to be able to enjoy them. I will always look for the good in every day and share that with everyone in my life. That’s what it’s always been about for me and has helped me down this path in my life. I’ve been spreading the word and sharing since the beginning. Now I’m a walking testimonial. Take one more chance and believe. Dr. Fynaardt is a special and caring person who has helped me learn a lot during this process. I believe we’ve helped each other along the way. Thank you Dr. Fynaardt for helping me to get through this and helping me feel up to the challenge of, once again, being able to take on whatever life has in store for me. I want to thank Dr. Fynaardt, Katie and Linda for their kindness and friendship, making the office a warm and welcoming environment that helped me to be able to keep coming back and keep looking forward. It has been an exciting and emotional experience. If you’re just beginning your treatments or thinking about it, you have so much to look forward to. Is there a cure for fibromyalgia? No, not yet. But how well you feel as you’re healing is like going into remission. It’s the best way I can describe it. And to me, the way I feel now, this is the miracle I’ve been waiting for. My prayers have been answered and I feel so blessed. My spirit is soaring and rejoicing… now that’s life. Thank God for Angels of Mercy and their healing hands. I’m good to go…Donna Leggate
From the moment I was tested, I knew my life had changed. Although I had no symptoms the day of testing, I had incredible results. My jaws fit together for the first time in probably 20 years and have ever since. My breathing became much deeper, my entire body and being felt calmer and more relaxed. Immediately after testing, I could read at nearly twice the speed. With only a few treatments, my severe migraines have ceased. I have had a couple try to start, but have been able to rid myself of them and haven’t had a day of debilitation since I first started. For anyone who knows me, 4 months without a day of being “down for the count,” is truly amazing. After my first treatment, a nagging leg and hip problem, for which I have been receiving regular Chiropractic care, massage and doing stretches, has improved by 90%. I can now sleep with out pain and barely feel the problem. Being a Chiropractic patient for 25 years, working in a very successful office for 15 and being a professional dancer I truly value this treatment. Last night, during my treatment, I could actually feel energy flowing to my Thoracic area, where I had a very serious injury last year. Decompression restored the area, but the nerves obviously benefited from the release, which occurred during the treatment. Going to the grocery store afterwards, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face and everyone I encountered smiled back and was so nice to me. I believe this treatment is a miracle tool that as many practitioners as possible should use. I thank you so much for making it available! Colette M. Jones
Just wanted to once again say THANK YOU for giving us our daughter Brandy back. After her time with you in August and September of 2004 she has been in perfect health. She graduated with honors from the University of Houston last December, with a degree in Business and Marketing. She is now working in sales for Icon Magazine. She is able to sail again which is one of her true loves. No one who hasn't experienced the pure hell of watching your child go from All State and College Athlete to a crumpled, dibilated cripple can understand just what a miracle the work you do is. A young woman came to you with no hope and returned home with her entire life in front of her and she is taking full advantage of her second chance. God Bless you and the work you do. Blaine and Cindy Sanders
My major area of concern is fibromyalgia. I have heel pain due to an injury in 1970. I have restless leg syndromed which may be due to the fibromyalgia,IBS, insomnia and I am OVER medicated.
I have been to over 20 medical dotors and three mental health therapists. I have tried every over the counter medication and many prescription medications; percicet, anti-depressents, tramadol. hydrododone, dxycarbidopet, Lortals, Ambian, etc., etc. Nothing worked, medications numbed the pain and numbed me.
How has this treatment helped you?
I had tremendous relief after the "test". Within the first two weeks of treatment, I have maintained a pain level of 2 or below. I am able to do things physically that I have not done for over five years. I can now sleep flat, walk without pain, touch people and be touched by people without pain.
This treatment has given me HOPE. Hope for improvment and hope that I can lead a normal life. With that hope has come glorious JOY!
I AM HAPPY TO BE ALIVE AGAIN !!!! Louise Dupes
I started treatments mid – December of 2009, Just a few weeks ago. I thought, I have nothing to lose. If nothing else I will be no worse off than I already am. To my amazement With-in the first week I started to see results. Some of the first things that I noticed were smells that I had not smelled for a while. Taste, wow I can really enjoy my food. I have not had a migraine for about a month now and I have clarity that I have not experienced for at least 8 years. I have been in a fog, but the fog has lifted. My head no longer feels heavy. I don't feel all tight and tense. Before, most days I felt like I had been run over by a truck. Probably, because of the poor quality of sleep that I was getting. Now, I am sleeping and waking up feeling rested.
We are not yet half way through the treatment and I have improved at least 50% I am excited to be able to complete the treatment and get back to living a Normal life. If there is such a thing.
I encourage anyone who is living in pain to let Dr. Mandy get you on the program, I promise you will be glad that you did.
Sincerely,
Debbie Moon-Davis
I had been suffering with chronic vertigo and balance problems for about 10 months, it started suddenly one day without warning. I went to many different doctors, MD, ENT, Neurologist, Naturopath, Energy healer, many chiropractors with every technique possible and my husband is a chiropractor and a nutritional expert, so you can only imagine what all he tried to do to help me. I was eventually diagnosed with BPPV (Benign Positional Proximal Vertigo, where calcium crystals break off in the inner ear and float around causing a disruption in your balance) I had 10 months of vestibular rehabilitation for this, it did help some by getting me out of the bed and somewhat functional, but I still had way too many symptoms that should have been eliminated at this point. I had a list of symptoms that affected my life including, dizziness, internal trembling, nausea, nystagmus of the eyes (the eyes don’t track with your head movements), eyesight was blurry and eyes were always dilated, numbness/tingling in the face, arms and legs, body temperature problems, headaches, heavy head pressure, walking difficulties (felt like I was walking on stilts and “someone” was pushing my head at the same time), couldn’t stand or sit upright without feeling like I was going to fall and many more crazy symptoms. I didn’t go into stores or places where there is a lot of things to “look” at, it made my vertigo worse and it took 5 months to be able to go back to work.
I met Dr. Jim Di Blasi at a seminar and he explained the Neurologic Relief Centers Technique™ and performed a “relief test” on me to see if I would respond to it. I had been having a lot of problems with neck pain and headaches in the past, so I knew that this would help me in some way, even if it didn’t help with the vertigo. I definitely responded, I felt an immediate change with my symptoms, not a miracle yet, but I felt like something different had happened. So, I felt like I needed to follow through with treatment to see if he could help me. I went to his office for treatment several times per week and I had to travel over an hour to get to his clinic. After the first treatment, my pupils constricted, my eyesight was clearer and I felt like my legs were much more “grounded”. After about 2 months, I felt like I was 80% better, my eyes were tracking better, nausea much better, headaches better, walking and standing better, dizziness a lot better as well as the other symptoms and I was able to go into stores without feeling awful.
Now, it’s been about another month, I see him 1 per week. I feel 90% better, there are days that I feel like I don’t even have this problem. I still have some minor symptoms, but we are working on them and I feel like I will be 100% better real soon.
I want to thank Dr. Jim very much for what he has done to help me; it truly is an amazing success. If I had never met Dr. Jim and continued with this treatment, I would still be dealing with and succumbing to this horrible condition. I would highly recommend Dr. Jim and this technique to anyone with ANY unresolved condition.

I was a walking functional zombie for DECADES! If employees could call in sick for being tired, I would have never worked. I went to my job, went home and slept for two and ½ hours, ate dinner and often just went back to bed. I usually dreaded any weekend activities. I would pretend to be enjoying myself. Of course, in the beginning, I sought medical advice. After years of things that didn’t work and hearing, "are you depressed?", I gave up. I started treatment for fibromyalgia quite by accident. My shoulder hurt and I went to Dr. Inglis(he fixed my shoulder). At one visit he did something to my neck and I experienced something I hadn’t experienced in decades! I finally had ENERGY and a CLEAR HEAD! My mysterious joint pains that were not my main concern went away!I have my life back! Thank you to Dr. Inglis, Dr. Q and all the staff!

I was extremely skeptical of the procedure, but now I'm a believer! I'm off all the medication ... I took a great leap of faith and...I basically got my life back.
Jannie Hills
I have been doing the NRCT™ treatments for some months now, and it amazes me how much "Pressing on a certain spot on the neck" can help you feel better all over! It's great! Dr. Susan & Dr. Dustin show they really care about their patients and the rest of the office staff do too! I feel I have made friends that I will cherish always! Thank you all - for your dedication & hard work towards helping others feel better & have a better quality of life! God Bless & keep up the good work!
Jackie Pearson
On arriving to our office the following patient could not carry on a normal conversation, was a typical severe fibromyalgia patient with the pain, insomnia, depression. But in her case she also had no feeling in her ankles and feet, was very dizzy and rambled terribly. Also because of her disabilities she did not take bathes nor showers. These are some of her notes she brought in during her first two months of treatment. By three months she got feeling back in her feet, lost her dizziness and was able to take showers again. She had been house bound for 19 years and now walks regularly and enjoys gardening. This patient was 73 years of age. This was written two weeks into treatment.
Today, I have come out of my cocoon. When I was 18, I hit my head on the bottom of the swimming pool, diving in to the shallow end, by mistake. After many years of struggling: I found the Neurologic Relief Center. Their program was exactly what I had prayed for. I knew it would work for me. Today after seven treatments... the clinic called me his miracle girl and they are right, that is what it is, a miracle.
Head is clearing, thinking better. Hearing, mostly on. Eyes, vision near normal (was tunnel vision before). Neck, almost normal. Hands and feet, periods of total cold, feet look red. Knees are painful. Left knee sprains at times. Weak. Ankles Feel stiff, sort of numb. Emotions: In control. Feeling: Coming back. It's a whole new thing, I have to be aware of what the body tells me I can do. I get very shaky when I go fast. I know what is happening, it is all good and healing. I am taking leaps and bounds. Like the dam has been opened and the water is able to go through. And I am in awe of all of this.

I am a 35 year old stay at home wife and mother of 2 (ages 3 and 5). I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue syndrome when I was 17 years old. I have been to every type of doctor for the last 15 years and tried many alternative treatments over the years.
After moving in February, I had a terrible flare up and luckily found the clinic. After one adjustment I felt tremendously better. And after a few weeks of treatment was a new person. I am now moving back to Texas and hope I can find a doctor as knowledgeable and sympathetic as the Neurologic Relief Center. He has made the last few months of my life worth living. Thank you

I just had the fibromyalgia test from Chad and what happened were like miracles! After the test, I stood up and realized that my back had gone straight. My shoulders were where they should be. My head had gone up. I felt like my chin had risen a couple of inches and instead of looking straight ahead, I felt like I was looking at the ceiling!
The weight of my body had gone onto my heels whereas it had always been on my soles. I almost tipped over backwards the change was so extreme!
When I began walking, I realized that I was now pigeon toed! But when I looked down at my feet, they were straight out in front of me – I’d been walking duck footed for so long, that walking normally felt totally weird!
I realized how shaky my hands had felt because now they felt so rock steady.
There was more sensation in my hands and feet then there had been before.
Well, I don’t know what kind of day anyone else had on Thursday June 18th, but mine was TERRIFIC!!!!!
Thank you so much Chad! Pam Taggetz
On March 1, 2001 I began coming to you for treatment for unknown medical problems. After visiting the emergency room on Nov. 13, 2000, followed by visits to numerous specialists and regular doctors, I still did not have a diagnosis or any relief from my medical situation.
When I had my first visit with you these were my symptoms: severe headaches (continuously), dizziness (could not walk without holding on), double vision/color blindness in right eye, tingling sensations from knees down on right side, tremors on right side of body, and short-term memory loss.
After three sessions, my severe headache disappeared. By April 15, the double vision and color blindness problem, along with the dizziness went away. My memory is improving and the tingling sensation has drastically improved. Even the tremors on the right side of my
body have improved.
It is now July 6, 2001, and I am 5000% better than when I first saw you on March 1. I continue to have bi-weekly treatments. Because of your accurate diagnosis and treatment, I was able to return to work after having been off nearly eight weeks.
Respectfully, Kathleen
I suffered a head injury in the winter of 2001 due to a snowboarding accident. While riding full speed down the mountain I caught an edge and landed directly on my head and the weight of my body had twisted my neck back. I could not move for 10 minutes and finally walked the rest of the way down the mountain to the lodge in a daze. Not knowing I had just had a concussion and a possible head injury I chose not to see a doctor even though I was in a lot of pain.
Over the next year I would suffer strange symptoms that I could only guess at. what might be wrong. with time. I would get extremely dizzy and at times would lose my vision where I could not focus my eyes.
I was more tired than usual and was losing interest in work and other things. I also had extremely bad headaches and anxiety. which I figured were due to the stress of running my business.These symptoms became worse as time passed, the anxiety and headaches increased and I began to feel depressed. I thought I possibly might have a brain tumor because the dizziness and headaches were getting worse.
In the two and one half weeks before I visited the clinic, the state I was in was almost unbearable for me. My body was in constant pain and I had no energy. At nights I could not sleep, the pain was so intense. During the day I would just lay on my couch wrapped in a blanket. The headaches and constant pain made it impossible for me to go to work during those two and one half weeks. I thought that maybe I was dying.
I made an appointment with the clinic. I was desperate to do something about my condition and yet still would not go to a doctor because I figured they would just give me pain killers and other meds.
After the first week of treatments I noticed quite a significant improvement in my condition. The constant pain had subsided and I was able to sleep through the night again. I decided to continue the treatments. After almost 2 months of treatments I feel better than I've felt since before my snowboarding injury. The headaches and dizziness gone. I no longer have problems with my vision and I am not in any pain at all. I feel like a new person and I'm still amazed at how much better I feel – 100% better. Terri
18 BACK SURGERIES
My name is R.J. I'm from the Johnstown, Pennsylvania area. I'm 45 years old and an owner of an excavating company. I've been running heavy equipment, dozers, rollers, and trucks since about 13 years of age. Our family has been in excavating for 50 years which gave me an early start. We employ over 25 men which means I need to be at work every day. I've had back pain since the age of 10 and treated by other doctors and chiropractors.
My first surgery was in 1995 followed by three more back surgeries in 1996, 1998, and 1999. These four surgeries didn't last very long. I could hardly walk and my quality of life was more than over. To try to regain some function, I had 14 laser surgeries in Florida since no one would do anymore for me than manage pain with medications.
After a total of 18 back surgeries, my life was a roller coaster of depression since I could no longer ride my motorcycle, hunt, fish or anything else I liked to do. I haven't driven heavy equipment since 1998. Due to the wear and tear on my body, I was on Morphine 3 times per day, Oxycontin 5 times per day, Neurotin 4 times per day and not sleeping much at all. I cannot miss work and this brings on more stress with all the pain I'm in.
I met Dr. Bob through his son Mike and had a complimentary evaluation and test. I was relieved of neck and low back pain instantly and could not believe it. I've been in pain at a rate of 9 to 10 on a scale of 10 and now it's gone. I've been seeing Dr. Bob for approximately three weeks, drive 100 miles round trip to see him and I am now pain-free. I'm weaning myself to less than half of my medications after three weeks of treatment. I have not felt this good in 15 years. I last all day at work, take small rides on my motorcycle and have been hunting for deer with my son.
My whole personality has changed. The pain-free expression on my face is the first thing people notice when they see me.
I'm willing to do whatever Dr. Bob recommends because I know whatever he is doing is working. I've been praying for a miracle because I knew my condition wasn't getting any better and could not see myself even walking in 5 years. I feel with all my heart I got my miracle.

My problem: stiff neck and balance. I had this problem for some time, so I went to my [medical]doctor and after visiting with him, he arranged for a doctor in Hays, in this field, for me to visit with him.
The doctor in Hays wanted to see a picture, so we decided to do that. After he saw the picture, the spinal cord was totally enclosed with calcium. He said if I didn't have the calcium removed, my balance and stiff neck may not get better, or if I didn't do anything it would get worse.
So I had the operation and fused 5 vertebrae together and then I really had a stiff neck after that operation.
Living with that for several years and going to the Cheneys for other adjustments, Dr. Susan explained to me if I wanted to try the NRCT™ program which could help with stiff neck and balance. They gave me a trial treatment and then I decided to give it a try, mostly because she takes her practice seriously.
Before I started, I would lay down on the floor and my head would be 5" off the floor. Now my posture has improved to where my head is where I don't need a pillow any more.
I had over the year, looked more down. Now my problem is to break the habit of looking down and walk more erect. Dr. Susan explained to me different things from questions that I asked, usually more of how (what) one could do in daily living, to help your body.
(The doctors at) the Cheney Clinic (travel) to keep up with the meetings that pertain to their profession. They probably party also!!
They are honest and have a good practice going for them. The good part about this is there are no drugs involved.

My Fibromyalgia was so bad, so painful, that I needed to find a way to cope with it without taking perscriptions that were going to make my symptoms worse (x10) and give me yet more to deal with.
For starters, the reality that I didn't want to face and have others feel bad about was... Headaches and sometimes excruciating Headaches, everyday for at least 3 years. Also in those three years, I have had body aches that feel like Body Aches when you get the flu, but multipled by 100, Shooting Pains at various times to various body parts throughout the day, Severe Dizziness, Lower Back Pain, Neck Pain, Shoulder Pain ,Awful IBS, Cramping, My eyes blurry, words not coming out correctly and always feeling like I'm in a fog. And these were an everyday occurance.
Then aside from these, I started getting bizarre and more bizarre symptoms... I would be standing and feel like a wave picked me up and brought me back down, having a hard time catching my balance; My whole body would vibrate and hum for hours at a time; one hand and forearm would be numb and ice cold and the other hot; I would see flashing lights in the corner of my eyes that weren't there; I felt like I had jumped into a body of water and the burning sensation went from my nose, to my eyes, to my forehead, to the back of my head, then my neck and then rested in my shoulders for 2 hours - the list is endless.
My doctor prescribed Lyrica and it has a lot of the same side affects as the Gabapentin I took that took me 16 weeks to get off of and I didn't want to go through that again. I even looked into the laws of Marijuana in Minnesota - but honestly I didn't want that fog either. However, I did want something that wasn't going to mess me up, more than I already was.
I looked on the internet and all the types of Fibromyalgia and all the treatments and felt completely overwhelmed. then I found Dr. Faith Leuschen and the NRCT™ Treatment. Dr. Faith Leuschen, not only knew about Fibromyalgia, but had it pretty bad as well, at one time. She knew my Pain, She knew my Issues...She wanted to help me!
She explained that you can get FM 3 ways as well as it being a co-disease(many of these diseases/disorders, I was borderline on). Well, I had all three... Trauma, as in an accident (I've had many, since moving to Minnesota) and Trauma, from a surgery (I've had a few of those too) and lastly Stress, from pushing yourself too hard...Let's see...Me, me, me,me,me. She explained that it doesn't get better. Studies show that FM individuals, have a high sucidal rate, that a lot of them wind up in Looney Bins because the doctors have exhausted being able to help them with all thier strange symptoms and if all goes well and these things do not happen to them... They have a 40% chance of getting cancer because of all the acidicity going on in thier bodies and usually pass on at a younger age.
I know that all sounds grim, but it will have a happy ending, bare with me. She told me, to come to her practice and give her 2 and a half months of my time, that she could give me back My Life again. I tried all the excuses about work and my husband, Kevin and my husky, Jax and my responibilities and she explained that it will never be a "Good Time" and I was only going to get worse.
Well, I did it and I was in treatment for 10 and a half weeks! Yes, I finally Have My Life Back!
I noticed results just from the testing, then after each Treatment, each Day, each Week. I went from a 10+ pain level down to a 5-6 pain level in 2 weeks. In another 2 weeks, I was down to a 2-3. I am now at a 0, 1, maybe a 2 - and that's on a really Bad Day. I no longer have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Constants Headaches, Severe Dizziness, Body Aches, or Piercing Body Pains.
I want anybody and everybody that has Fibromyalgia, MS, Headaches, IBS, Digestive Issues, Body Pain, ...Basically anyone who has a Neurological Disorder to know about NRCT™ (Neurological Relief Center Technique).
You may have a life sentence of Fibromyalgia, but You can live a life without all the Pain and Co-issues and without being on all those Meds! I used to take Muscle Relaxors, Pain Killers, Fiber (for awful IBS), aspirin (for fear of a stroke or heart attack), Antacids, Sleep Meds..... I don't take anything but my Thyroid Medication now and I feel Terrific!
This Treatment is not just beneficial to You, but to those that You Love! The process starts with Testing - And then Treatment to being the Best You! Then, Living your life with little stress and taking care of yourself,... all you'll need is maintenance.
It is an Amazing Thing! Get Your Life Back! You are too Incredible of a person not to be living your life to the Fullest!
Take Care of Yourself,
Many Hugs, Diane
