Omg Lord ...I'm not concerned with his entire spinal positioning 😮 and I'm only in 1:43' .... Praying for best outcome post Adjustment (s) Dr..Willen I super appreciate when you educate your audience/community so would you explain what transpires regarding brain messaging when using the stimulation devices. Thanks 😊
This happened to me. I was in a crash with a truck, that in the end, left me unable to turn my neck to one side for about 17 years. Always had to turn almost my whole body to see that direction. Lived with it, thought nothing more about it. One day, visiting my chiropractor for another unrelated issue, he wanted to check my neck to see if there may be something there. Strictly a just in case look. As he moved, turned, and manipulated my neck, he let out a sudden whoa, there's something here.... He then just casually moved and turned my head, and then without warning... CRACK!!!!! The crack was so loud adjusting my neck, I know they heard it in the waiting room LOL! He asked how's that? And for the first time, after 17 years, I could turn my head to that side!! God bless the great work you Chiros do!!
Poor man, I would love too see a series with his progress. You are the best and you truly care about your clients both human and animal. You could see Craig's face relax and release when the session was over. Beautiful sight.
He is so patient and such a good character he is so willing to let you give him comfort. I’d love to see him again. He is so willing to try and get rid of some if not all his issues.
I'm a massage therapist and I know how much strength you out into this one. As soon as you did those two adjustments on his neck where you really heard it bang, the change in his eyes was immediate. His whole face softened. I saw that your neuromuscular massage along the cervicals really brought movement and softening to those tissues. I'm glad he found you!
Craig seems like a super nice person. Please share with us his weekly visits so we can watch his progress. He may not ever be perfect, but I have full faith you can help him get much better.
Pam, chiropractorey is a pseudoscience. These guys aren’t doctors. There is no absolute science for this. If you have an issue and you visit the 10 best chiropractors in the world, you will get 10 different diagnosis and 10 different treatments. If you have issue and you visit the top 10 best doctors, you will get a single diagnosis. This is why Craig’s neck will never get better if he continues visiting this guy. As a matter of fact, a chiropractor will probably make whatever issue he has even worse
Yes, I'd like to see Craig come back for as many adjustments it may take to straighten out his neck. He deserves to begin living without calcifications and kyphosis limiting his quality of life. It was very sad to hear him say he felt fine while his neck couldn't rest naturally on your table. I'm so thankful he found you. Looking forward to watching you assist him in the healing process.
Chiro ain't gonna fix that. Sorry to say. On top of the patient clearly lying out his teeth to the doctor about how he feels and knowing that this patient would **never** do any crucial work at home that any doctor would prescribe him.
Awe Poor Craig, he seemed to be in so much discomfort and when he barely moved his arms up at first and the end of the session he moved them higher and straighter he seemed happier. What a guy, please update his progress
It looks like his whole body needs thorough care because it has been compensating for the upper muscles... When he lied down and said he felt comfortable with his head just hovering over the headrest, I got tears in my eyes! I hope he gets better!
Craig seems like such humble and kind man. Its awesome to see you help relieve some pain and tension for him and how gentle you are also while adjusting him. ❤
@alfrednewman4496 I thought I heard him say his pain is alot better meaning he still has some discomfort but with the doctor continuing to see him will be in 0 pain. But sometimes I don't hear things correctly so I hope he isn't in any pain after this at all, but I thought I heard him say it was better.
Oh, poor, poor man! I can't imagine what he has been living with! What a sweet soul he has! You are so thorough with your work on him! He was able to raise his arms a little higher right away! So happy for him! I know he will feel less pain the more he comes. I can't wait to see the rest of his videos!
It’s cool to see people get some relief after enduring pain/discomfort/impaired mobility - especially after so long. Hopefully this guy will make a lot more progress going forward but it seems like he made a lot of progress just on this first visit. 👍🏻
that cracking sound wasn’t healthy at all. Listen to it again it sounds so much different that any other popping sounds and I bet something actually fractured there…
I'm really rooting for Craig, what a stoic and humble guy. I'm really hoping to see the rest of his journey on here. Thank you for all your work helping those who really need it! It would be amazing if you could link his sessions somehow so we can find them on here.
Hi Craig, and Dr. Doug. Craig I want to tell you I'm 63 years old and was a blue collar worker for 50 years. Automobile mechanic, then aircraft mechanic for 32 years. Over those years I've had times when through my work my back would occasionally get so messed up, that getting out of bed to go to my chiropractor's office was very difficult. Once I pulled into his parking lot in my car and I thought I would have to crawl into his office. Then later I'd always walk out with no pain. From my young years of being active, playing sports and working on cars, when I took my job as an aircraft mechanic with Delta Airlines at the age of 28, one time my back was bothering me, and I'd just moved to Atlanta from Chicago, I went to a new chiropractor and he X-Rayed my spine. He told me I had three disk in lower back that were badly worn. He showed me on the x-ray. He told me to walk and to swim and that that would keep my core muscles supporting my spine. I do that still and have had few problems with my back over the years. I also see my chiropractor 3-4 times per year. I related to your pain Craig, because I have arthritis in my neck, and my Doc adjusts my neck when I go to him. I don't think I could function normally if not for that. You'll be surprised Craig ------ I'm retired now, and take regular trips on my motorcycle. As long as do some walking, and get a neck adjustment a few times a year I feel good and enjoy life. Craig I felt the pain that i saw you having in this video. Keep going to Dr. Willen , brother. I want to see you function better than you are now. BTW , my last motorcycle trip was 7835 miles, and I camped most of it. If an old fart like me can do that, then you can too. Best of luck.....
@@christinaskittle I've had an extraordinary life. Besides being an aircraft mechanic, I received a spiritual calling in 1991 that led me to become a union organizer. My spiritual/paranormal experiences have made my life like a Steven Spielberg movie.
it always makes me sad when patients say something hurts, because they haven't ever been to a chiropractor and don't understand that "pain" is the best thing for them and they are going to feel so much better after even just one visit! Dr. Doug knows what he's doing and would never adjust anyone in a manner that would cause them more pain than what they came in with
@@capalotgoose8328 I no longer work at the same facility as him. But when I was there he was doing well. He is very aware of this video doing numbers! Lol.
BRING CRAIG BACK!!!! Honestly while watching, I feel the need to move my neck and body constantly because his posture is making me feel extremely uncomfortable. How about y'all?..
Hi! He didn't just need a chiropractor, he needed you! I almost felt the relief for him while watching this. I would really like to see him continue to improve with your treatments. I hope he comes back for more.
@@quinn7427 I pretty much exclusively use physical therapy and dietary/lifestyle intervention to help patients. Just because someone is a chiro doesn't mean that they are not evidence based. Do I adjust people? Yes. Do I tell them that it will cure them? No. They are always told that activ participation in therapeutic exercise and lifestyle change are the way forward. I literally tell them to think of the adjustment as expensive tylenol. Modern chiros are far less dogmatic/philosophical than they were. I genuinely hope that they merge chiro/pt licensure, as it would broaden the scope and enhance the education of both fields. Where did you get your doctorate? I'm sure with opinions like that you've gotten a DPT and a DC degree right? Or was 500k in student debt and having zero life for 6-8 years too much money and commitment for you to speak from experience?
I’m from the Czech Republic and I love your videos. Before I get to sleep, I watch them over and over again, it makes me relaxing feeling even being thousands of miles distance. I appreciate your work so much.
A friend was somewhat in his condition. Went to a Chiropractor, physical therapy, given muscle relaxers. After about six months he was good to go again. Good luck to this man.
He says at the end, that it's going to need to be chipped away at, as in, more than 1 visit. From what I gather, it will take several visits to gradually keep moving the neck back instead of 1 big push that will leave him in pain for days.
Yes! unfortunately when you decide to get rid of those sort of problem sometimes it is almost too late! I‘ll try my best! Thanks for sharing KrystalTiger.
Yes, please follow up with Craig, I would love to see his progress. Oh wow, I really feel for this poor bloke. His neck looks so rigid and stiff. It must have felt like concrete to work on. Those cracks sounded so deep and satisfying to hear as the viewer. Did it hurt your hands and thumbs to work on such hard muscles, Dr Doug? Love your work!
😳 wow i had my tense face on the whole video! You can see everything all over Craig's face. We have seen lots of frozen shoulders but I think this is the 1st neck. 20yrs that's crazy. I hope he comes on a regular basis. When he said he was fine with his head hovering i almost fell over. Man, i can't wait til he comes back. We are here for that journey!!! Have a good weekend 😊
I had a mountain biking crash wheen i was 10 or 11 that led to serious issues( chronic migraines, immobility in my neck, spine issues,). Just last summer, at work, i dislocated some ribs while moving concrete bags at work. I was only immobile for 3 days, but the release was insane. I can only imagine what this man went through
He probably needs to come in weekly for 6 months to a year to get all the frozen muscles to release so he can get some curve back into his neck. The poor man. What about heat and stim, would that help him? My neck hurt just seeing Craig’s condition!😢
As someone who has cerebral palsy, I can definitely understand the relief felt after an adjustment. It's been way too long since my last adjustment. I have a supraspinatus injury (possible tear) so I can't start treatment until I can get a game plan to heal my shoulder issue. I had 2 unsuccessful attempts at Physical therapy.
This will be a great series bc it’s shows progression on what stretching, massaging, and chiropractic therapy can do for someone. I hope he feels a bit of relief. You can tell it was the good kind of pain.
I feel for Craig. I remember falling down our stairs the day I turned 40, because of toys on the stairs I did not see. My hands were number for months, among other issues. I felt so vulnerable. Eventually I started running again and doing pushups, pullups, etc. Luckily getting my blood flowing again seemed to help, but for several months I thought life was going to be awful.
Same thing happened to me. Fell down stairs and for two months I couldnt even pick up a spoon. The Nerve pain was very uncomfortable. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
@@brettnelson7518 I think these events make us become better people, strangely enough. When you wouldn't wish something on people who treated you badly, you have evolved in life! I felt that as well when I was suffering from actual clinical Depression, which I had never even believed was real previously. Even the people who told me to "just be happy", I wouldn't wish what I went through on them.
Inspiring.. as a young man with "the skeleton of a 65 year old" dealing with chronic pain for already half my life. Every sort of treatment from superficial to eastern medicine to massage, chiropractor, diet change etc. I have never found the relief that comes from proper chiropractic care. Keep it up ❤
This is the problem my husband exactly has since 3 years, he is suffering a lot.. Not able to move his head. Doctors said the neck bone is rigid and calcified, they said only solution is surgery. Iam from India, I do visited chiropractic but they said they can't even touch this condition as there are chances of breaking of neck bone. I really felt happy seeing this vedio. God Bless you Doctor.
Hi Gisela! Thanks for the support, I will try my best, and I really hope „I won’t have to see him“ for the rest of his life, hope he will recover his range of motion… As much as possible, someday.
That is a very high level of care, Dr. Willen. I had something similar but definitely not 20 years. I was skeptical of chiropractic (my wife is an MRI tech and she and her nurse mother love chiropractic) - but after about the 4th treatment I had wonderful and total relief. Keep doing what you're doing.
@@muhammadayman7934 The traditional medical community doesn't seem to respect chiropractic. Just the way it is. I am now a firm believer in the healing power of chiropractic.
@@muhammadayman7934In a lot of places being a chiro is unlicensed. And the effects are usually temporary. Which means you need to return to the chiro lifelong.
@@misplacedcajun2325 I am sad to hear that, as the vast majority of chiropractors are knowingly peddling nonsense. There is relatively little to be gained from spinal adjustments, while the "schools" these people go to tell them that about 95% of ailments can be cured through adjustment of the vertebrae, or whatever you can get them to define a "sublation" as. Please go talk to a rheumatologist about the REASONS why they dislike chiropractic. It's not a "just the way it is" type of situation, it's nearly a scientology situation (ahem, remember when chiropractors called it religion? No? Strange.)
I don't think doctors realize that after going through many years of terrible pain when they poke around and ask does this hurt they never have stopped hurting so there is no difference.
I’m looking forward to seeing Craig again very soon because I am completely confident that you will help him, he is such a cool person who obviously suffers, but he doesn’t complain 😊
YES!! Make Craig a star! We will be watching with bated breath. Love to go on the journey to better health. I could see the relief on Craigs face. No where to go but up!😊😊👍
I like Craig a lot. And I consider myself a good judge of character. He will be in my prayers. And thanks Doctor for helping him so much. You’re awesome too!
I would love to see this man’s progress. Hopefully his neck becomes more and more mobile with future adjustments. I could tell with just that first adjustment that he was feeling better and looser 🙏
He really needs a year's worth of sessions! A case that extreme needs time and many, many adjustments as it settles and recovers back into a more optimal state. Hopefully he keeps coming back.
I love the fact that you only did the required work on the poor guy, other chiropractors would went in and pushed and yanked if they could. I can’t imagine what permanent damage they would of did, all in the name of money. I hope Craig gets the relief he’s looking for and I really wish that his visits are free, they should always be free in cases like Craig 🌻
im no trained medical professional, but dude would benifit from both a chiropractor and massage therapist, the chyropractor for the not moving bones and the massage therapist for the muscles that are stuck. its part of why he cant raise his arms and having a hard time adjusting. i think thats what the gun thing was for to massage the muscles and loosen them
He looks at least ten years younger than he did when he went in. That’s an unexpected bonus surely! This poor man, I am so glad that he was able to get a bit better range of motion started for himself, and hopefully pain free. I wonder if his condition will get any better in the future if he goes back to the chiropractor for future sessions? I’m English so we have a free healthcare system; but we don’t use chiropractors very often if at all, it’s a nuisance about that. So many people think that chiropractors are quacks when they’re not at all. As is evinced here by this wonderful doctor, who does so much for🕊👍 other people. He helps animals too; horses, cats, dogs, farmyard animals. Fabulous! (Thank you for posting this incidentally)🎠❤️🕊
I loved watching you work all his muscles and then getting his neck to adjust. It would be fascinating to see you work on him some more and straighten his neck. I feel you will do it Dr.
16:30 Even before the patient said it, I thought his head wasn't jutting out as drastically as it was before. I hope he gets better after each session!
I would love to see his progress. My father had this issue for as long as I can remember and never found a solution. Im interested to see if this is the solution. 😊
My neck is a wreck and lower spine is not fine. I've seen good and bad chiropractors for 40+ years. Specialist's, therapists', neurologist's, and chiros couldn't see the problem. Finally a chiro did damage on both sides where one side I ultimately resolved on my own. 11 years later his original mistake is still my every day agony. I'm untrained but have learned better chiropractic than many with a license. Yes, I'd watch Craig's return.
Did you x-ray it first to determine if it was muscle, skeletal issues, calcification, arthritic issues or a combination? I would be curious to see what it reveals.
WOW! He was so stiff & stuck, maybe the most we’ve ever seen in a neck. These extreme cases are really interesting, although I feel for the people. It would be great to follow his progress.
@@DrDougWillenHouseofChiro i suffer with ankylosing spondylitis. This is a serious condition. He should have been given proper medical care and biologics to prevent fusing of the spinal column. Its so painful poor guy.
Dr. Doug you really worked on him well. I can see there is more work but you gave him some real relief. Great job. Thank you for caring so much about people.
Chiropractors are amazing people… My dad had severe spinal issues that made it hard for him to walk around or move his arms. He had a Osteopath that saved him from ending up in a wheelchair, because he always went in for adjustments. I’m thankful every day for all Chiropractors that work hard to make sure people get the treatment they need to live life without pain and struggle the way my dad struggled. It’s scary to have those procedures done, and very painful too, but it’s always amazing to see the relief and progress after the pain fades 🙏🏻
....I... Like so many others suffer with Chronic neck pain, and can fully associate with Craig and the pain and discomfort he experiences.... Great to see he is getting better gradually and be good to see his progression too... Great video and very informative...
Great result Doc. I have similar problems and I understood watching this video that I should not wait 20 more years. Hope he will get better with few sessions
Good afternoon In my suggestion: 1) check the blood pressure and the heart beat 2) foot print acupunture 3) get rid of wind in the body, take a ginger drinks, everyday 4) needles acupuncture, in every blood vessels aat the body,start at the head, propose to throw away a little bit blood Key point - blocked blood vessel
I would love to know if you seen this awesome man again, and how he is feeling/ doing? One bright side to it all is that he is not in excruciating pain, and that it is frozen. So many don't get that lucky, to where the pain is unbearable all day every day and completely changes them and their life when having such horrible pains with neck problems. Even if it only helps to remove tension and makes it easier for him to lift his arms that's a major win for him, and will still make him feel a lot better and not so locked up. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Let me know in the comments what you thought! Would you like to see CRAIG return??

Right ? That's just how's my father is I hate it lol old-school and stubborn
@@marctorres4053 typical bloke, really.
@@marctorres4053not really old school, just how some people are wired
I’m from the Czech Republic and I love your videos. Before I get to sleep, I watch them over and over again, it makes me relaxing feeling even being thousands of miles distance. I appreciate your work so much.
Dr Doug : Sit up tall
Patient: You're kidding me right?!
Yes - let’s have a series of Craig getting better - please!
👍🏼😊🙏🏻
God bless him. He’s been putting up with the pain and stiffness so long it’s his normal. I know you can make a difference in his quality of life.
A friend was somewhat in his condition. Went to a Chiropractor, physical therapy, given muscle relaxers. After about six months he was good to go again. Good luck to this man.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your story!
it didn’t seem like he could really do much for the guy to be honest. Even the chiropractor seemed a bit stumped.
He says at the end, that it's going to need to be chipped away at, as in, more than 1 visit. From what I gather, it will take several visits to gradually keep moving the neck back instead of 1 big push that will leave him in pain for days.

I never thought I would see someone that made me feel positive about the condition of my neck. I wish this man the best of luck and recovery.
There was def a noticeable change in his movement, look and eye brightness! Really hope he keeps coming, so sad to see how long he’s suffered. Xo
Yes! unfortunately when you decide to get rid of those sort of problem sometimes it is almost too late! I‘ll try my best! Thanks for sharing KrystalTiger.
Yes, please follow up with Craig, I would love to see his progress.
Oh wow, I really feel for this poor bloke. His neck looks so rigid and stiff. It must have felt like concrete to work on.
Those cracks sounded so deep and satisfying to hear as the viewer. Did it hurt your hands and thumbs to work on such hard muscles, Dr Doug?
Love your work!
No it didn’t hurt my fingers or hand! 😅
😳 wow i had my tense face on the whole video! You can see everything all over Craig's face. We have seen lots of frozen shoulders but I think this is the 1st neck. 20yrs that's crazy. I hope he comes on a regular basis. When he said he was fine with his head hovering i almost fell over.
Man, i can't wait til he comes back. We are here for that journey!!! Have a good weekend 😊
Thank you Barbara! Amazing severe case, we‘ll see what we can achieve!
whos here from insta
😂😂
Nobody
Not me
Me but I was baited horrendously I expected a head loss
Me 😭😭
I had a mountain biking crash wheen i was 10 or 11 that led to serious issues( chronic migraines, immobility in my neck, spine issues,). Just last summer, at work, i dislocated some ribs while moving concrete bags at work. I was only immobile for 3 days, but the release was insane. I can only imagine what this man went through
He probably needs to come in weekly for 6 months to a year to get all the frozen muscles to release so he can get some curve back into his neck. The poor man. What about heat and stim, would that help him? My neck hurt just seeing Craig’s condition!😢
Thanks for your compassion Sue.
I‘ve never heard a neck cracking that often!

@jimmymcgarryhe has. Chiropractors are doctors of chiropractic medicine.
As someone who has cerebral palsy, I can definitely understand the relief felt after an adjustment. It's been way too long since my last adjustment. I have a supraspinatus injury (possible tear) so I can't start treatment until I can get a game plan to heal my shoulder issue. I had 2 unsuccessful attempts at Physical therapy.
Truly appreciate the fact that the chiro recognized it’s not the time for the full spinal decompression yet.
Sign of a really good Dr.
This will be a great series bc it’s shows progression on what stretching, massaging, and chiropractic therapy can do for someone. I hope he feels a bit of relief. You can tell it was the good kind of pain.
I feel for Craig. I remember falling down our stairs the day I turned 40, because of toys on the stairs I did not see. My hands were number for months, among other issues. I felt so vulnerable. Eventually I started running again and doing pushups, pullups, etc. Luckily getting my blood flowing again seemed to help, but for several months I thought life was going to be awful.
Wow amazing!
Same thing happened to me. Fell down stairs and for two months I couldnt even pick up a spoon. The Nerve pain was very uncomfortable. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
@@brettnelson7518 I think these events make us become better people, strangely enough. When you wouldn't wish something on people who treated you badly, you have evolved in life! I felt that as well when I was suffering from actual clinical Depression, which I had never even believed was real previously. Even the people who told me to "just be happy", I wouldn't wish what I went through on them.
I really need to see his updates, I'm completely invested with his progress. Wishing the absolute best for him
Thanks augged! Nice to hear!
@@DrDougWillenHouseofChiro update where?
Inspiring.. as a young man with "the skeleton of a 65 year old" dealing with chronic pain for already half my life. Every sort of treatment from superficial to eastern medicine to massage, chiropractor, diet change etc. I have never found the relief that comes from proper chiropractic care. Keep it up ❤
This is the problem my husband exactly has since 3 years, he is suffering a lot.. Not able to move his head. Doctors said the neck bone is rigid and calcified, they said only solution is surgery. Iam from India, I do visited chiropractic but they said they can't even touch this condition as there are chances of breaking of neck bone. I really felt happy seeing this vedio. God Bless you Doctor.
are you happy that he is risking to break the guy's neck?
Can't wait to see him improve! Poor guy! Thank goodness he came to the right place, Doc! Sending warm positive thoughts his way! ~ Robin
Awww thanks a lot The Pamperedhen for the compassionate words, yes poor guy, I will try my best to help him.🙏🏻
I’m invested in his progress ❤ can’t wait to see more
Thanks Jessy!
Wow, wow, wow ! Such a doctor with golden hands. Craig will definitely come, you have a patient for life. Thanks, Doc !
Hi Gisela! Thanks for the support, I will try my best, and I really hope „I won’t have to see him“ for the rest of his life, hope he will recover his range of motion… As much as possible, someday.
@@DrDougWillenHouseofChiro 🙏👋👍
That is a very high level of care, Dr. Willen. I had something similar but definitely not 20 years. I was skeptical of chiropractic (my wife is an MRI tech and she and her nurse mother love chiropractic) - but after about the 4th treatment I had wonderful and total relief. Keep doing what you're doing.
why were you skeptical i just want to relate to someone
@@muhammadayman7934 The traditional medical community doesn't seem to respect chiropractic. Just the way it is. I am now a firm believer in the healing power of chiropractic.
@@muhammadayman7934In a lot of places being a chiro is unlicensed. And the effects are usually temporary. Which means you need to return to the chiro lifelong.
@@misplacedcajun2325 I am sad to hear that, as the vast majority of chiropractors are knowingly peddling nonsense. There is relatively little to be gained from spinal adjustments, while the "schools" these people go to tell them that about 95% of ailments can be cured through adjustment of the vertebrae, or whatever you can get them to define a "sublation" as.
Please go talk to a rheumatologist about the REASONS why they dislike chiropractic. It's not a "just the way it is" type of situation, it's nearly a scientology situation (ahem, remember when chiropractors called it religion? No? Strange.)
@@misplacedcajun2325 ah yes bone healing magic, would like to hear your thoughts on other other pseudo-sciences and see where the irony goes
I don't think doctors realize that after going through many years of terrible pain when they poke around and ask does this hurt they never have stopped hurting so there is no difference.
Poor guy appeared defeated in life. You could see his hope rise with each adjustment. Great stuff doc!
Thanks Future!
Craig is so chill for the amount of pain he is in 😫 I hope he comes back
I’m looking forward to seeing Craig again very soon because I am completely confident that you will help him, he is such a cool person who obviously suffers, but he doesn’t complain 😊
Thank you so much Sheila for your interest and encouraging words! 👍🏼🙏🏻
He was a lot more relaxed at the session went on and loads more movement towards the end ❤ I would love to see a progress update on him
Thanks for watching and for the thumbs up.
I feel bad for this man, he doesn't deserve this, no one does, haven't watched the full thing but gonna watch it now
Poor man! Feel better Craig! Doug you're such a healer! You can see in his eyes he could see a sense of relief!
Thanks C T
Yes please...more Craig. Love these intense cases, Doc this is when you shine.
7:07 sounded so good
Aww thank you Gary! Severe case with Craig! Hope we will be able to improve his range of motion.
@@jarabotelho5275 Nah 14:00 was crazy. Cervical sounded like a gunshot 😂😂
I can’t even imagine what it is like living like that . I can see he got a little relief from just this one session . Good job Doc ❤️🥂
Thanks Ms Marie! Very special case!
I know i could not live like this i want my neck to move
Seeing people relieved of their suffering is the greatest thing
What a sweet and humble guy Craig is. Well done Doug for relieving his posture and for helping him. Great video.❤
Please help him and bring him back. Would love to see how far he can go ❤
👌🏼😊🙏🏻
Bless him, seems like a gentle soul. Hope he feels better soon.
Awww thank you so much vincent
This was amazing! I could tell he felt better at the end of the session. Would love to see Craig come back to you for more relief! 😊
Thanks Purple Queen for sharing!
I don’t think we saw the same video
YES!! Make Craig a star! We will be watching with bated breath. Love to go on the journey to better health. I could see the relief on Craigs face. No where to go but up!😊😊👍
SO SATISFYING. I’d love to watch twenty hours of this and see the man get full relief.
I like Craig a lot. And I consider myself a good judge of character. He will be in my prayers. And thanks Doctor for helping him so much. You’re awesome too!
Awww that‘s the nicest comment today! So grateful for your support and your prayers davedaddy101!
I would love to see this man’s progress. Hopefully his neck becomes more and more mobile with future adjustments. I could tell with just that first adjustment that he was feeling better and looser 🙏
I would love to see the next sessions with this man. I hope he gets better
I Hope too!
@@DrDougWillenHouseofChiro update where?
I love the cracing sound😂
0:19
"Hear that one?"
Bro, aliens in the Andromeda Galaxy could hear that one lol
He really needs a year's worth of sessions! A case that extreme needs time and many, many adjustments as it settles and recovers back into a more optimal state. Hopefully he keeps coming back.
Yes! hopefully!
Oh, I REALLY hope he returns! Dr. Doug can fix this guy's issue. I've seen em fix stuff this big. He can fix this. He's gotta come back🤞🏼❤️😊
🤞🏼
@@DrDougWillenHouseofChiro update where?
I love the fact that you only did the required work on the poor guy, other chiropractors would went in and pushed and yanked if they could. I can’t imagine what permanent damage they would of did, all in the name of money. I hope Craig gets the relief he’s looking for and I really wish that his visits are free, they should always be free in cases like Craig 🌻
Thank you for sharing your words Frankie
im no trained medical professional, but dude would benifit from both a chiropractor and massage therapist, the chyropractor for the not moving bones and the massage therapist for the muscles that are stuck. its part of why he cant raise his arms and having a hard time adjusting. i think thats what the gun thing was for to massage the muscles and loosen them
He looks at least ten years younger than he did when he went in. That’s an unexpected bonus surely! This poor man, I am so glad that he was able to get a bit better range of motion started for himself, and hopefully pain free. I wonder if his condition will get any better in the future if he goes back to the chiropractor for future sessions? I’m English so we have a free healthcare system; but we don’t use chiropractors very often if at all, it’s a nuisance about that. So many people think that chiropractors are quacks when they’re not at all. As is evinced here by this wonderful doctor, who does so much for🕊👍 other people. He helps animals too; horses, cats, dogs, farmyard animals. Fabulous! (Thank you for posting this incidentally)🎠❤️🕊
I loved watching you work all his muscles and then getting his neck to adjust. It would be fascinating to see you work on him some more and straighten his neck. I feel you will do it Dr.
Good if you feel I’ll do it! I wouldn’t be so sure! He is a severe case! But who knows…hope always dies last! 🤞🏼thanks Carol.
16:30 Even before the patient said it, I thought his head wasn't jutting out as drastically as it was before. I hope he gets better after each session!
Long way to go!
He looks waaaaay more relaxed and opened up - nice work! Bring him back 😊
Thank you for watching this one Joboof
Man! The things we'll suffer through. 20 years, glad he finally made it in. Hope he's kept going, off to look for update videos lol
I would love to see his progress. My father had this issue for as long as I can remember and never found a solution. Im interested to see if this is the solution. 😊
Not only would I like to see Craig return, he MUST return. Hope you can get the man able to move his whole head.
Hope that too!
You are an amazing man. Unlike most doctors and practitioners, you actually understand the body.
Aww thank you!😊🙏🏻 One Guy Online
They way his range of motion immediately improved❤ so happy that he is getting some help
Thank you for sharing
My neck is a wreck and lower spine is not fine. I've seen good and bad chiropractors for 40+ years.
Specialist's, therapists', neurologist's, and chiros couldn't see the problem. Finally a chiro did damage on
both sides where one side I ultimately resolved on my own. 11 years later his original mistake
is still my every day agony. I'm untrained but have learned better chiropractic than many with a license.
Yes, I'd watch Craig's return.
Did you x-ray it first to determine if it was muscle, skeletal issues, calcification, arthritic issues or a combination? I would be curious to see what it reveals.
It must be quite the feeling to have someone like Craig put their trust in you💕
Thanks Boo.☺️
WOW! He was so stiff & stuck, maybe the most we’ve ever seen in a neck. These extreme cases are really interesting, although I feel for the people. It would be great to follow his progress.
Thank you Vaga! It’s gonna be one kind of a journey! Really hope I can help! 🤞🏼
He probably has ankylosing spondylitis...which is much more than just your average 'stiff neck'.
@@DrDougWillenHouseofChiro i suffer with ankylosing spondylitis. This is a serious condition. He should have been given proper medical care and biologics to prevent fusing of the spinal column. Its so painful poor guy.
Dr. Doug you really worked on him well. I can see there is more work but you gave him some real relief. Great job. Thank you for caring so much about people.
You’re welcome Debbie
Poor guy… I really hope he kept it up, he needs this so bad. It’s incredible, you couldn’t get his neck to move that much.
He really lives far, we don’t know if he comes back.
Chiropractors are amazing people… My dad had severe spinal issues that made it hard for him to walk around or move his arms. He had a Osteopath that saved him from ending up in a wheelchair, because he always went in for adjustments. I’m thankful every day for all Chiropractors that work hard to make sure people get the treatment they need to live life without pain and struggle the way my dad struggled. It’s scary to have those procedures done, and very painful too, but it’s always amazing to see the relief and progress after the pain fades 🙏🏻
So wonderful seeing gradual results. Hope you film his progress! Praying this sweet man finds relief as you work.
Thank you so much Donna
....I... Like so many others suffer with Chronic neck pain, and can fully associate with Craig and the pain and discomfort he experiences....
Great to see he is getting better gradually and be good to see his progression too...
Great video and very informative...
Thanks for sharing PTS
Any future results and how he's doing? Is he able to move his arms all the way up and able to move his neck normally?
Why do these videos ans the comments feel like a cult. "Omg, you almost snapped my neck uncomfortably and it saved my marriage"
Craig deserves a series and for you to help him. I pray he keeps getting more relief through your chiropractic adjustments.
Thanks travel Dog for sending your payers!
Great result Doc. I have similar problems and I understood watching this video that I should not wait 20 more years. Hope he will get better with few sessions
We‘ll see! Hope I can help more!
Wow, this is one of your most severe cases on the channel. Poor guy! Hopefully he continues to see some improvement each visit. Thanks.
Craig is a severe cases yes, I hope I can help him, even if it’s not gonna be an easy path, glad he came to me! Thanks Jeff!
Good afternoon
In my suggestion:
1) check the blood pressure and the heart beat
2) foot print acupunture
3) get rid of wind in the body, take a ginger drinks, everyday
4) needles acupuncture, in every blood vessels aat the body,start at the head, propose to throw away a little bit blood
Key point
- blocked blood vessel
Thank you for sharing Gideon
I would love to know if you seen this awesome man again, and how he is feeling/ doing? One bright side to it all is that he is not in excruciating pain, and that it is frozen. So many don't get that lucky, to where the pain is unbearable all day every day and completely changes them and their life when having such horrible pains with neck problems. Even if it only helps to remove tension and makes it easier for him to lift his arms that's a major win for him, and will still make him feel a lot better and not so locked up. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can’t wait to see his next visit. I am glad he found you and you were not afraid to help him!
Thanks Joy!
