WOW Natural Wellness: The doctor’s stubborn neck pain and the numbness of the left arm, which he had for over one and a half years prior to coming to our office

POST-VIRAL SYNDROMES: ??? Pompe Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, polyneuritis, polymyalgia ....

Late one night about a year ago, I was watching a Discovery Health Channel report on a child with a very similar picture of the Asian child and the elderly lady I have mentioned above. This show caught my attention. I said to myself I wonder if this child in the Discovery Health Channel show had flu or colds at the beginning of the picture of the disease, and right after I questioned myself, the narrator said that the only thing this child had at the beginning were flu symptoms which got gradually worse. The parents took the child everywhere searching for the cure. Finally, they ended up at the Mayo Clinic and after a lot of testing they concluded that this disease has a name but no cure . They called it POMPE DISEASE.

TORTICOLLIS (CONGENITAL) Experts are not certain as to the cause of this kind of Torticollis, some say that babies are born with neck problems due to mal-position in uterus (fetus in the wrong position while in the womb) and others say this condition may be related to injury of the neck and stretching of the muscles of the baby's neck at birth.

The baby's neck is twisted and head is deviated or tipped to one side while the chin is turned to the other side, there is often muscle swelling, shortening of the neck and neurological symptoms due to compression of the nerve roots. Alternative treatments (needle-less acupuncture) combined with manual therapy has been very successful in our facility, curing this condition in about 4 to 5 visits in babies suffering from mild to moderate TORTICOLLIS.

The doctor’s stubborn neck pain and the numbness of the left arm, which he had for over one and a half years prior to coming to our office

Dr. Donald Angeletti is a Physician whom I respect greatly. He is both an internist and an endocrinologist. About 4 years ago, I received a phone call from his office requesting to speak with me. He asked me a lot of questions about my experience regarding cervical radiculopathy, cervical pain, radiculitis, etc. After a long interview, he told me that he heard about me through some of his patients, and he also said that he was the one who had suffered chronic cervical pain and pain in the arm for approximately a year and a half. So he decided to come to our office. At first I was hesitant to mention acupuncture, but in a subtle way I said that if I were in that situation after such a long time in pain, I would definitely would start right away with acupuncture and physical therapy combined . I was pleasantly surprised when he agreed to proceed right away. He received about 6 weeks of physical therapy and acupuncture combined 2 to 3 times per week. By the 4th week, the pain was almost completely gone; for the last remaining 2 weeks, we concentrated on strengthening, with only one acupuncture visit per week. Now 4 years later, he is still pain-free and no longer wears his cervical brace.
