18 Spinal Injuries Caused Nearly Total Body Pain

  

Randy Zenke, 49, of Janesville, WI came in with 12 years of "no let-up" pain.  He had tried medications, ultrasound, inversion traction, cortisone, physical therapy, electrical muscle stimulation, heel lifts and chiropractic without significant lasting improvements.  His complaints were migraine, very severe shoulder pain, thoracic and low back pain.  The doctors said arthritis and poor muscle tone.  He had many MRI's, x-rays and medications without help.  He worked in assembly requiring considerable body usage.  It was looking like he would have to be disabled as he was "a mess" after each work day.

 

His first visit was memorable in that he couldn't lie on the exam table without crying out in pain.  He also was severely antalgic (stood severely crooked).  He admitted since adolescence to 18 spinal injuries (4 severe whiplashes, 4 mid-lower back injuries, 4 snowmobile rollovers, 2 rear-end car accidents, 1 van rollover, 2 times flipped over motorcycle and once fell out of tree).  Fortunately none led to spinal surgeries.  His youth and enthusiasm outdid wisdom and experience.  X-rays revealed disc degeneration C5-C6 and L5-S1, arthritic spurring C6-7 and L1 through L5, retrolisthesis (backward displacement of vertebrae) and an old compression fracture of T12 vertebra.

 

Prolotherapy to regenerate his torn, stretched, ligaments and tendons was started to his neck, thoracic and lumbar spine.  Also neural therapy was given to adjust the excessive nerve irritation and muscle irritations.  He also received a few treatments to knees and shoulders.  Randy got progressively better from each treatment.  His activities improved so he could actually do things at home instead of just being exhausted and in pain.  Repeatedly Dr. Faber would need to apply the neural therapy to adjust the spinal tensions which occurred due to all the injuries.

 

In about one year Randy's many years of misery when standing, sitting, walking and even lying were permanently gone without taking medications or further treatments.  He could "do things" again.  Randy said "Thank you Dr. Faber, you saved me from a life of daily hell."
