Back Treatments...

AH, in her mid 30’s, came to my office complaining of unbearable back pain. AH had already undergone 2 unsuccessful back surgeries. She had no intention of going in for a third surgery so decided to try chiropractic kinesiology. AH complained of constant pain shooting down both of her legs. Her back felt unstable. She was worried about her back going out.

 

AH’s examination revealed several muscle weaknesses in the muscles that support her lower back and pelvis. Palpation and muscle testing indicated that L5 (the lowest low back vertebrae) was not sitting on her sacrum (the tail bone) correctly. The muscle of the thighs, hips, pelvis, low back, and abdominal region were corrected and balanced. Her L5 and sacrum joint was realigned. Her pain was significantly reduced and she felt more stability in her lower back. The pain shooting down the back of both of her legs resolved in a couple weeks.

 

“I have not felt this good in my body since I was in my early twenties.”… AH

Shoulder Treatments...

 

AG, in his late 40’s, came to my office complaining of shoulder pain. AG had fallen on an out stretched arm, jamming his shoulder. He had constant pain and reduced range of motion. He was told by his physician that the injury would take between 4-6 months to heal, and to “stop using it.” His physician prescribed 800 mg of Ibuprofen.

 

AG’s examination revealed his shoulder joint (acromioclavicular) needed adjusting as well as his neck. There was also muscle imbalance in shoulder muscles, rotator cuff, and chest. After adjusting AG’s shoulder and rebalancing his shoulder muscles, his pain was significantly reduced as well as his range of motion increased. AG was also given specific nutrition to enhance the healing of muscle tissue. Within 2 weeks his shoulder had returned to normal.

 

"Out of 6 chiropractors I’ve seen Dr. Mayeda has been the most conscientious, for my personal body needs.”… AG

Leg Treatments...

MB, in his late 20’s, came into my office obviously limping after he injured his calf muscle playing at the beach. He told me that when he was running away from a wave that he heard a pop and instantly had pain in his calf. He was concerned that he might have torn his muscle or tendon. Before MB came to my office he had consulted a physician, who prescribed pain killers, and an anti-inflammatory. The physician also took an x-ray which was negative.

 

MB’s examination revealed that his heel bone needed adjustment as well as, his calf muscle nerves needed to be reset. After the heel adjustment and resetting the proper muscles, MB’s calf pain was significantly reduced. He walked out of my office without a limp.

 

"Before I met with Dr. Mayeda I was told I would need surgery to repair my injury. I could barely walk and was in a ton of pain. By the time I left his office, I was able to walk without a limp and within three months I was able to start running again. It has been several years since and I just recently climbed Mount Whitney and enjoy exercising regularly. No Pain!!!"… MB

Stress, Nutrition, General Health Treatments...

 

IV, in her early 30's, came to my office complaining of dizziness, insomnia, fatigue and constipation. IV had a leadership role in a highly competitive industry. She was working out daily, doing yoga and Pilate's weekly. She stayed active on the weekends with activities such as hiking, snowboarding, and surfing. She had a lean athletic build of 5'4" and 122lbs. From the outside looking in everything looked fine. She was living what appeared like a "normal" healthy lifestyle. Her diet also might be considered healthy except she was continually eating food she was allergic to but was unaware of.

 

IV’s history and examination revealed that she was experiencing blood sugar issues (hypoglycemia). She was sent out for blood work and hormone testing. Her test results revealed extreme adrenal (the organs that manage your stress) fatigue. Her tests also revealed extremely high cholesterol. A personal health care plan was created for her. The personal health care guide include: specific supplementation, dietary and exercise recommendations, which she followed diligently. During her follow up examination in 3 months, IV reported that her symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, and constipation had resolved.

 

“Dr. Mayeda is the most amazing and knowledgeable doctor I have ever worked with. A healer, who is interested in the whole person, sees and works with the connection of body, mind, and soul. His profound experience, endless thirst of knowledge, and his generosity changed my awareness on health. Dr. Mayeda has remarkable talent and a unique approach for healing which saved my eye sight as well. Today I have more energy, clarity and strength that ever – most important I can see the sun light and enjoy the beauty in life. I am deeply thankful and admire Dr Mayeda for the art of healing he provides.”… IV

Shoulder Treatment...

 

JG, in her late 40’s, complained of shoulder pain and decreased range of motion. JG had reached into the back seat of her car in an attempt to lift a briefcase over the front seat and injured her shoulder. She also complained that her hands were numb upon waking up in the morning.

JG’s exam revealed muscle imbalance in the shoulder, rotator cuff, and chest region. Her range of motion was decreased in all ranges and especially painful when reaching forward. Her shoulder joint needed adjusting as well.

“When I first came to Dr. Mayeda, I had significant pain in my right shoulder – just getting dressed was an ordeal.  Now the pain is gone and I have complete range of motion in that arm again.  I’m really grateful to him for his help.” …JG

Nutrition Treatment...

 

JA, in her late teens, came to my office with an uncontrollable appetite. She complained that she had lost the sense of feeling full after eating. She had an athletic build and was about 5’4”. Her weight could swing 10 lbs or so within any given week. JA was sent out for blood work and hormone tests. 

Her blood work was unremarkable, which is the hope for every teenager. Her hormone test revealed adrenal maladaptation. When the hormonal feedback loops become out of balance the body can not communicate with itself properly. A personal health plan was created for JA.  JA worked the plan consistently. Upon follow up, she had regained her ability to feel full. She ate much less and better quality foods. She had lost weight as well as stabilized it. She was pleased with her new look. I was pleased with her new healthy lifestyle.

"After I completed my program I've felt healthier, more energetic, and happier than I have ever been"… JA

General Health Treatment...

 

SJ, in her late 50’s, came to my office with no major complaint. She did mention that she was not feeling well and wondered how I might help her. She had been taking antacids for some time now. She also had low back pain she had learned to live with. 

SJ’s exam and history revealed that she was hypochlorhidric (decreased stomach acid). She also needed to have her lower back adjusted. The lower back adjustment was not the common adjustment targeted at the vertebral disc, but was targeted at the facet joint (a supporting and guiding joint of the spine). When her facet was adjusted she felt relief from her back pain that she hadn’t felt in years. Specific nutrition was given for her stomach. Within a couple of months she decided to discontinue her acid reflux medication.

“Dr. Mayeda's care and counsel has been invaluable.  Not only do I now have one less "illness" to report for health insurance purposes, but once when I did hurt my back and my doctor recommended 10 days of total bedrest, he immediately came to my house and worked on the problem.  Total recovery still took 10 days, but the amount of pain I had to endure was reduced, and I was able to attend a family reunion on day 7.” …SJ
