I first met Dr. Edlund at the annual Health Fair that was held at my place of employment. I didn’t think that I had spine related problems, but I thought the spine x-rays were a good idea. When I saw my x-rays I was very surprised. I had a straight neck where there was supposed to be a curve, and my spine was 7 mm to the left, with a couple of bone spurs on my tail bones. I had been experiencing intermittent sciatica pain down my left leg, and immediately realized that the sciatica pain was directly related to my misaligned spine.

At one of my first appointments I purchased the special pillow and within the first two to three weeks of my appointments and using the pillow I realized that I wasn’t waking up with headaches any more, and I was sleeping much better. I’ve even taken my special pillow to the Hilton where I stayed for three nights at a conference. Previously, I had attributed the headaches to my job and that stress. What amazed me was that I had just accepted the sciatica pain and the headaches, and really didn’t question their origin. I was living with both and making the accommodations that I needed to live with them. Today, our world moves very quickly and most of us are just going about our daily lives unconsciously making the needed accommodations to live with our aches and pains.

After five months, my sciatica pain has disappeared, and with traction I’m told that the curve in my neck will return. I’m anxious to have another set of x-rays to see what progress has occurred.

I’ve enjoyed my visits to OC Back & Body Doctors, not just because of my improved health, but all the staff have been warm, friendly, and have a great sense of humor. During this period I also fell in love with the massage chair!

Dear Dr. Edlund & Staff,
I wanted to send a special thank you for the incredible service and support that I have received so far during my rehabilitative treatment with OC Back & Body Doctors. I have been utilizing the full range of Body and Mind enhancements at your facility for almost 8 months now and the results are staggering!

I came into your office with severe back and neck pain as result of years of competitive sports up through and including collegiate football. To this day, I manage to stick to the “Weekend Warrior” Credo playing soccer in the OC Coast Soccer League; but, I realized that as my body gets older and those around me get younger, something would have to be done to remain competitive at full strength and stamina. My moment of Zen came as I responded to an advertisement I saw for a chiropractic consultation. For years I had struggled with massage and personal training to try and loosen my joints that were giving me such trouble and none of them had relieved the actual symptoms that were causing the pain.

I was initially impressed with the care and attention each and every staff member gave to me and the patients that were already there. The warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere helped to create a medical environment that was fun to be in! I immersed myself in the physical therapy and chiropractic plan that Dr. Edlund and therapist Lisa worked out for me and I began to notice major changes almost immediately! And, if that was not enough, those people around me, who for years had to put up with an attitude and disposition that was based largely on living with pain, began to see a whole new person.

I noticed changes in my daily activity at work as my attention span, concentration levels, and demeanor improved. For soccer, my opponents noticed the difference! My 40 time increased 1-2 tenths of a second, my vertical jump increased 4 inches and my overall stamina improved such that I was able to keep up a full 90 minute game with guys that were 10 years younger! I can’t stress this fact to my teammates, co-workers, friends and family enough; that once you cure the ailments in the spine, then all other body ailments will follow suit. Because my alignment, posture and gait have improved, all other facets of my body have also improved. I feel taller, stronger, faster and more alert than I have in years, and I have you and your wonderful staff of professionals to thank for it!

Again thank you very much and I look forward to continuing my Physical Therapy and Chiropractic at the new and improved Back and Body Works facility!

Cheers,
