To be honest, I had given up hope of any type of normal life.  I was living on pain medication and doing as little as possible to keep my back pain at bay.  A friend recommend I try you and I admit I was skeptical but decide to drive from Orlando to see you.  You have given me my life back. My back does still bother me at times, usually when I get lazy with my exercises and don't take care of my back as you taught me but I am back living my life!  Thank you.

Chronic Pain 

    Chronic pain is pain that persists beyond the length of time it takes for your body to recover from an injury.  Acute pain is a normal response triggered by your nervous system in response to an injury.  It's job is to alert you to the injury so you can attend to it and not injure it further.  Chronic pain signals continue for weeks, months or years - sometimes after an initial injury or trauma but sometimes without any past injury.  Chronic pain is a very frustrating condition for those affected.  Often they are told there is nothing that can be done to help.  NOT TRUE!

    Some examples of chronic pain conditioned include: chronic low back and neck pain, headaches, hip and knee arthritis, and shoulder pain.
