My pain started about 2 years ago with an unknown cause.  The pain would occur randomly, without warning, whether I was shopping, sleeping, sitting up, driving, or carrying on daily activities.  I would suffer severe pain in the groin, sometimes so severe it felt like birthing labor pains.  I was limited in doing normal, daily activities.  The only thing the medical doctors could offer were pain pills, muscle relaxants, and bed rest until it went away.  I had to be taken to the hospital ER several times, twice by ambulance, with no answers.  My treating doctor had me go to physical therapy which brought no results.  At that time I lost my job due to having to take so much time off work and my limited physical work ability.  In June 2004, I had surgery for a small hernia which medical doctors thought may be causing the pain episodes.  My daughter attends college out of town.  I was always hesitant to drive to see her for fear I'd have an onset of pain and be stopped along side the road.  I would often ask a friend to go along or take me just in case the pain would occur.  In September 2004, I started seeing Dr. Flora and receiving Chiropractic treatments and ART therapy.  After completing several sessions of treatment, I have been pain free and feel like I have my life back.   I am now back to work doing a job which requires me to be on my feet eight hours a day, and I can work without pain.  It has been years since I could cross my legs without pain.  Now, it is no problem at all.  On a side note, I am a new person with a new life.  Thank you, Dr. Flora!

I was in constant pain and barely able to turn my head.  My right thumb was completely numb and the numbness was creeping up into the back of my hand.  Going for an MRI was torture - having to lay motionless, without a pillow, for 10 minutes.  I had crushing headaches on almost a daily basis.  So many people told me horror stories of similar conditions, of failed surgeries, etc.  It was at this time that I came to Dr. Flora for chiropractic treatment.  I had never heard of Active Release Techniques.  Within the first two weeks of ART treatment, however, my condition improved remarkably.  I am on a computer several hours a day and this treatment has allowed me to work again.  I highly recommend Dr. Flora and ART.  It makes complete sense to work with the body's natural processes to resolve the kinds of muscular/skeletal/nerve issues that respond so well to ART.
