CHRONIC NECK PAIN HEALED

“ Dear Dr. Inge, I am writing this testimonial to express my gratitude to you for healing my chronic neck pain and shoulder pain.

But, it was totally amazing to discover that they were just about gone only after my 3rd treatment. I feel so great that I am even sleeping better.

" I woke up one morning with severe neck pain that spread to my shoulders and gave me a migraine. As the pain did not dissipate over 2 days, a friend recommended I see Dr. Inge. From the first session with her, my pain was significantly reduced and I immediately recovered some range of motion in turning my head. Over three sessions, the pain was completely gone and has not returned since. While I had some hesitation due to the fear that treatment would be painful, Dr. Inge’s sessions were entirely painless and very relaxing. I was always at ease due to her professionalism and expertise. In addition to alleviating my pain, she also helped to relieve tightness in my shoulder that I developed from long hours at a desk bound job that has plagued me for years. " K.C.
