Back Pain and Severe Head Trauma
 
     Nikki came to me for back pain.  She heard about me from a co-worker.  She dilly-dallied for a whole summer before she finally dragged herself into my office.  We subsequently talk about how she wasted all that time…At the end of the first visit, I told her that her back was easily treatable (it would only require one visit), but I felt a lot of head, neck and upper back problems that needed to be addressed.  What happened?  She was involved in a motor vehicle accident over 40 years ago.  She hit the steering wheel, broke her jaw and it had to be wired for 6 months.  I told her that her head was turned to the right when she hit.  She confirmed it and thought I made a lucky guess.  I treated her for about 4 months and she responded well.
