- MRI"I am a thirty-year old mother of three children. I have been suffering from regular occurring headaches for the past twelve years, dating back to an automobile accident in which I was involved. I am subjected to high levels of stress, which have aggravated my head, neck, and shoulders. Over the past twelve years, the symptoms have gradually worsened. The levels of pain have ranged from a dull throbing to severe debilitating headaches, neck pain, and shoulder pain. I have even been diagnosed with TMJ; and had to endure a grueling recovery from jaw surgery to overcome the pain. I have been to countless chiropractors and medical doctors. I have had numerous x-rays and have tried to find answers through an MRI as well. None of these attmepts has proved successful. The last two years have also been trying for my nine year old son. He has been suffering from migrane-like headaches. My husband and I have spent money on eye glasses in hope that he was just straining his eyes. We have been to our family doctor. Many chiropractors were also visited in our effort to alleviate the pain my son was enduring. Our last straw was drawn when we visited a neurologist that our then eight-year old son would likely be on perscription migrane medication for the rest of his life. THough his symptoms seemed migrane-like, I was convinced that another option was out there somewhere. So, for the last year, we searched. During this time, my son's headaches were becoming more frequent; four to five headaches per week were often common.

- Sports MedicineA. Gravity is the only constant environmental stimulus that effects the nerve receptors in your muscles and joints. Under normal conditions the nerve receptors in your muscles and joints can adapt to the change created by gravity. Change created by sudden or repetitive trauma will reduce your body's ability to respond to the effects of gravity. Trauma also creates changes in the ability of your body's joints to move properly. There are many different types of trauma. Obvious trauma is that which is associated with impact such as auto and sports injuries. Lesser trauma examples are improper lifting techniques, repetitive movements or poor posture.
- Physical TherapyRight Wrist: I had hurt my right wrist from chopping with an axe in the summer of '05. All the other physical therapy that I had couldn't take all the weakness and pain away. Less than two weeks Dr. Matt had my wrist pain free.
