Before Thanksgiving in 1996, I was helping at my brother's football practice. I was tackling them and playing scrimmage without any pads on. My dad told me to stop before I got hurt, but I told him I wasn't going to get hurt. I got hit in the back with a helmet while running. It did not hurt at that time and I ran the ball in for a touchdown.

Three weeks later I was singing in the choir at church and the back of my left leg started hurting. I went and sat through the rest of the service. While the service continued my lower back started cramping around where I got hit. My dad and a deacon put some ice on it, but it kept hurting. The next week it started getting worse and spread into my left leg. I went to the sports clinic and was told that I pulled a hamstring. I was put on muscle relaxors and pain killers, but they did not help.

Three weeks later my right leg started cramping too. I went back to the doctor and I was treated with heat, told to stretch my legs and continue the medication. After a month there was no improvement and in fact it got worse. It got so bad that I couldn't go to school for the rest of 8th grade. I couldn't even go to my graduation.

I was supposed to go to Riverview Gardens High School, but it didn't happen. I had a year of home school and then started to have trouble walking. My legs were stiff and jerked around and I had to crawl everywhere. Soon I couldn't crawl or write. I went to Children's Hospital where they injected my legs with botulism. They loosened up for a week and then went right back to the same. Eventually I ended up in a wheel chair and was diagnosed with a behavior disorder. I was put on psychoactive drugs, which messed with my head.

I started getting my spine corrected in February of 2002. It felt good! I felt like I could get up and walk. I had more energy and could go out more to concerts, movies, and the mall. I can now walk without a wheelchair and hardly even use a walker. I am close to being finished with my GED and got to go to the prom la

I thought the rest of my life was going to be spent bed-ridden until I was led to NUCCA. I was 24 and had very bad migraine headaches daily for 2 years. I had numerous tests done including: M.R.I, cat scan, blood work, and a sinus X-ray and the results were all healthy.

I thought I was hopeless. I tried another chiropractor and after a few visits with no results, (it felt like they were just cracking my back and wasn't targeting my problem) I heard about NUCCA.

After the first visit without all the harsh popping and cracking, I noticed a change. After the 3rd I noticed a significant change and now I rarely have headaches and if I do they are normal and minor NOT migraines. It is wonderful.

Who knew a simple touch could be so effective?

About 3 weeks ago my daughter had been complaining about headaches and that she was getting them more frequent than ever, she is 10 years old, and to me it just wasn't normal for a 10 year old to have headaches at all.

While this was going on her grades in school began to drop also, I became concerned and took her to a medical doctor first, just to see if exactly what was going on, the medical doctor checked Jalicia's vital signs and told me that she needed to see a neurologist, on top of the doctor not telling me what was going on he charged me $50.00 for the visit, not only that but I missed a day of work, placing my hopes in finding out what was wrong with Jalicia.

When I arrived to work the next day I spoke with Dr. Friedman concerning Jalicia, and he told me to bring her in. On February 20, I brought Jalicia in, He adjusted her and showed me the X-rays after the first set of X-rays.

Well, the first set showed where her neck was veering over to the right side, after the adjustment the x-ray changed tremendously it showed that her neck was straightened, not only that but Jalicia doesnt have headaches anymore, when she got a headache it only lasted 15 minutes, and no more have occured since then. I just want to say thank you very much for your time and effort towards my little girl, she now has hope for no more headaches and better grades in school.
