Couldn’t Walk Right

  Posts Posted by drmark under Auto Accident, Chronic Back Pain, Hip Pain, Neck Pain, Testimonials on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 12:12 pm

After my accident I suffered with side pain so bad I couldn’t walk properly. I experienced spasms in the upper right side of my back and could not reach with out increasing my pain. It was difficult to move my head, hard to drive or even be still for a long period of time. Before seeing Dr. Prather I went to my medical doctor had x-rays and 3 different pain pills. They did nothing for the pain. The drugs numbed my body but did not correct the problem. Since coming to Inland Back & Neck Pain Relief my neck movement has improved and I have much less hip pain. In my experience Inland Back & Neck Pain Relief is an excellent process for rehabilitation.

I can be Mom again

At age 17 I was stepped on by a horse which cause a fracture in my lower back. At age 26 I gave birth with complications to my daughter. She now has cerebral palsy and is a quadriplegic. She’s 17 now and I must throw her over my shoulder to move her from one place to another. Doctors said I would get arthritis from my injuries and constant labor with my daughter. All they could do is give me medication for the pain. Medication masked my pain but it also impaired my decision-making and I was not always alert. This made my job very hard. Since coming to see Dr. Prather I take no medication except an occasional Motrin. I’m more patient and feel happier where before I was very grouchy and irritable. I know as I age I will be able to continue lifting my daughter for years to come with Dr. Prather!

Can Turn My Head Again

  Posts Posted by drmark under Auto Accident, Neck Pain, Testimonials on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 12:04 pm

Before I came to see you I had a car accident. I couldn’t sit or turn my neck without pain. I was taking Flexeril but that wasn’t even helping any more. I first tried physical therapy and when that didn’t work I knew I needed to see a chiropractor. After my first adjustment with Dr. Prather I was able to at least turn my head from one side to the other…something I wasn’t able to do when I first walked into the office. Almost instant relief! Since coming to Inland Back & Neck Pain Relief I can sit and watch my children’s volleyball games, I am able to sew again because my back is not hurting anywhere near as much plus I can now move my neck almost freely now. I knew I needed to try something other than PT or medication because I knew my daughter would be graduating soon and I wanted to sit through the whole ceremony without pain and nothing else worked except coming to Dr. Prather. Thank you!! Because of you I will be able to watch my daughter graduate in just a few days!!

Epidurals, PT, Meds…Nothing Worked

  Posts Posted by drmark under Auto Accident, Chronic Back Pain, Testimonials on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 12:00 pm

I had suffered a back injury at work and then an auto accident followed. This just made my condition worse. I could not drive for more than 15 minutes, sit or even play with my kids. Before coming to Dr. Prather I took medication, therapy and even epidurals on my back. All of which didn’t do much but make the pain worse. After coming to Dr. Prather,  I can once again enjoy sleeping and have a better attitude. I feel better. The staff is superb! I enjoy coming to the office. You answered all my questions and gave me pointers.

I Can Walk!

  Posts Posted by drmark under Auto Accident, Chronic Back Pain, Hip Pain, Neck Pain, Testimonials on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 11:57 am

The accident that threw my entire skeletal structure off occurred when I was 17. By the time I had carried 3 children I was 35 and could hardly walk. Sitting for long periods of time caused my right leg to spasm and in order to use the bathroom I had to hold on to something to sit down. Before discovering Dr. Prather I went to Kaiser. I paid my $5 copay to get physical therapy. After which I was shot with cortisone, which I eventually became immune to. After coming to Dr. Prather I can walk! I can sit! I feel youthful!

First Good Night’s Sleep

  Posts Posted by drmark under Auto Accident, Neck Pain, Shoulder Pain, Testimonials on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 11:53 am

Before seeing Dr. Prather I was in severe pain in my neck and shoulders. Some days I was unable to perform even daily tasks. If you measure pain on a scale from 1-10 I was a 15! I was affected in a very negative way. Life was very bleak. I tried the medical route with medication, a MRI and therapy but nothing worked. There was no change in the pain level and sometimes even made it worse. Every aspect of my health is SO much improved due to Dr. Prather’s care. The quality of my life both at work and play is 100% improved. After my first visit with Dr. Prather I had my first good nights sleep in years. He is an angel.

Auto Accident Makes Me Feel Like An Old Man

  Posts Posted by drmark under Auto Accident, Chronic Back Pain, Neck Pain, Testimonials on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 11:49 am

After my car accident I suffered with painful movement of my head and neck everyday. Work was difficult and I couldn’t pick up weight plates at the gym. I was waking up every morning feeling like an old man. Since coming to Dr. Prather I have restored range of motion. And best of all no pain when I bend or work out at the gym. I know that thru my care I have better alignment so I can avoid arthritis at a later age. The doctors here are amazing. They were able to heal my back pains with the need for surgery. And the staff creates a warm environment for us patients.

Unable to Golf

Before coming to Dr. Prather my activity level had decreased greatly following a car accident. I had pain in my right shoulder, right knee and neck pain. The pain was so severe I was unable to do the things I love like working on my lawn, playing golf or even just walking. Since Dr. Prather’s care I’ve experienced improved posture, increased activity level and of course improvement in my pain. I can now bend and squat normally. And did I mention less pain!

Tailored & Effective Care

  Posts Posted by drmark under Auto Accident, Neck Pain, Testimonials on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 11:39 am

Immediately following my car accident I went to see my family physician and he gave me anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxing drugs. The next day I still felt so much pain and stiffness that I couldn’t care for my children, much less be alert enough on medication to take care of accident details. I called Dr. Prather’s office and they told me to come in right away. I learned how the crash had affected my body, and I continue to receive tailored and effective care. Dr. Prather and the staff are very sympathetic and alert to my symptoms. My pain is now tolerable and I feel that I am getting better through this treatment.

In Tears From My Pain

  Posts Posted by drmark under Auto Accident, Neck Pain, Shoulder Pain, Testimonials on Friday, January 23rd, 2009 11:29 am

Before coming to see Dr. Prather I was always in pain. I could not even take my child to school without being in tears from my pain. The pain prevented me from working or spending any quality time with my little girl. I tried going to Kaiser and all they would do is give me more pain medication. Which did nothing except make me stick to my stomach and make me feel all drugged up. I love coming to Dr. Prather! He is very understanding and cares about my needs.
