Neck Pain

Scoliosis, Chronic Back and Neck Pain, Arthritis
I have had back pain for approximately 40 years. I have 2 severe curves in my spine and when Dr. Tad told me he could straighten my spine I thought I had nothing to lose and gave acupuncture and herbs a try. I had previously undergone 3 back surgeries as a teen. I had learned to live with the discomfort.

Since my acupuncture treatments my pain has gone from a 9 to a 1 and the curve on the upper part of my back has become more straight. My energy level has increased as well.

Dr. Tad and his wonderful staff are amazing! Life is good!

Lower Back & Neck Pain, High Blood Pressure & Weight Loss
When I started acupuncture I had constant pain in my lower back and constant pain in my neck. Some days the pain was intolerable and my blood pressure was so high that I had to take medication.

Since acupuncture, my mobility has improved 100%. My energy to exercise has also improved. My blood pressure is normal WITHOUT medication and my weight is now going down. Finally, my psychological state is fantastic.

Overall, my energy has increased simply because I do not suffer the drowsy side effects of the medication I was taking. My blood pressure is the best is has been since I was a (A LOT) younger. I am off anti-anxiety medication as well. My psychological state is tremendous. I don't worry about back aches keeping me from anything. Simple chores around the house are not bothersome. Without the pain in my neck, simple things like turning my head in traffic is easier.

Adding all these things up equal my new outlook on life. A more positive and pleasant (and energetic) outlook. Acupuncture is the greatest thing I've ever done for myself AND the greatest investment into my health and well-being!

Back/Neck Pain and Anxiety
I had work related neck, shoulder and back pain. In addition to that, I also had numbness in my arms and hands, anxiety, moods swings and I was always tired.

After following Dr. Tad's treatments, the numbness went away, the pain lessened over time and I was emotionally more stable.

The staff is wonderful. Everyone makes you feel comfortable. It was worth the time because it made life much more comfortable for me.
