I learned about your ideas early this year. I have had significant sciatic problems for a couple of years and was losing weight in order to see if my sciatic symptoms would be improved after the weight loss. I finally went to your website and ordered your book. And soon after that, I called your office and made an appointment. I saw you at your office in March of this year, I believe. The office visit and demonstration was especially helpful in learning the particulars of my situation with the lower back. It’s been a tremendous help to me to be able to handle occasional flare-ups of a disc that moves out and causes some pain. I refer to your book on a regular basis to learn more. I don’t take ibuprofen on a regular, daily basis like I was before I lost the weight. I have taken a jog recently to see how it would go. I haven’t done that in 2 years. It went fine, no residual pain or inflammation at all. I will keep trying it out and hope to build a routine again, since I always enjoy a jog and a sweat. Today I ordered a book to be sent to my Mother-in-law in Los Angeles. She has already had a surgery up in the neck area and although it was difficult to recover from, she feels that she needed it to get relief. But now the MD is talking about a lower back surgery since she is having sciatic problems for the first time. This is not something that she wants to think about. She is now 78 years old. I figure that she might as well have a chance to try out your thinking and see if it is an alternative that can help her. If she is interested, I will recommend that she perhaps visit you the next time they travel to Nor. Cal. to visit us. Anyway, I enjoy your book, there is so much there to pay attention to. I had come to be afraid of the state of my discs, that they were shot, or at least one was. But you offered me the idea that I just needed to work at getting them back where they belong. Yes, they move around a bit, depending on what I do to them, but they aren’t shot, and it gives me a whole new outlook on my situation.

Thanks so much for your innovative solution to this problem. This is the first time I have had a serious problem, and unfortunately didn't find your book until after it got quite bad, and I had to call the ambulance to bring me to the hospital. I am so thankful that I found your method, and now not only can I "fix" and manage the pain, but the emotional help was equally as valuable. It is, as you know, incredibly scary not knowing what is happening, and the doctor here was very vague. My instinct was to not go back to a doctor, and try and find out what was happening on my own. And the idea of a chiropractor manipulating my spine literally made me sick to my stomach. Now that I have such an improved knowledge of the anatomy and situation, my stress level has been reduced drastically. I'm sure you have heard many times over how successful this has been and how generous you have been in sharing your experience, but I wanted to express it once again. I appreciate being able to take control of my own recovery and you have made that possible. Thanks again.

Dear Dr. O'Connor, Its been 6 months now since I came to visit your office and I am glad to say things have changed dramatically. After reading your book and visiting you in person, your techniques have given me new freedoms after suffering with back pain for over 3 years! My visit to you (from Texas) was very productive as you were able to get my disk back in. Things progressed as I was able to return to serious cycling, a life long passion of mine. I was able to go and watch the Tour de France this past July and ride Hors Category mountains (hardest climbs in Europe) with no major problems. I had an unforgettable trip. But being the competitive person I am, I pushed it a little too hard and pushed the disk out while I was there. Upon returning home, I began using your maneuvers and was able to get my disk back into place and felt the best I felt if over 3 years. Having the knowledge and confidence to be able to "work" my disk back into place, has change my life. Thank you for your techniques, maneuvers, knowledge, and willingness to educate others on how they can deal with disk problems. Best of luck with your continued work.
