Back on Course, Without the Pain
One of our patients, an avid competitive golfer, struggled for years with a sports-aggravated neck injury that caused pain and numbness through his swing. After consulting with medical doctors who suggested surgery or strong pain relievers, he found relief with Dr. Adam’s computer-assisted adjustments and got back on the course pain-free.
