Back Pain
'How do you thank someone who relieves your chronic daily pain? There are never enough words to show how grateful you are every time you sit and stand, get in or out of the car, and everything that used to hurt doesn’t. So you tell every living soul you come across that winces when they hurt, that there is help. You don’t have to hurt every day anymore. The gratitude goes beyond mere words, the thanks are not enough, so I share my story as often as I am able. A life without pain is pretty awesome. 

I thought I just had to accept this daily pain. Sometimes it was better than other days. I could always get another Cortizone shot if it got too bad. The risks are there, but the pain eases up for awhile. Then I heard about Dr. Joe and this new chiropractic method, and that it helps get you out of pain. I finally went. After my 1st adjustment the pain was gone. I had tears in my eyes when I stood up and it didn’t hurt. How did he do that? How long does it last? Six months later I’m still going to see Dr. Joe and I still have no pain. You’d tell everyone too!!'

Car Accident Injury
“When I was first introduced to the NUCCA approach to Chiropractic (after a bad car accident where I received a double whiplash) I was a bit skeptical, but the introduction came from my more traditional Chiropractor in my old home town.  Dr. Joe Perin was exceptional from the first evaluation.  His approached was organized, very human, and deliberate with the goal to get me better as soon as possible.  I could go into a long description of the process, but the bottom line is that this 50 y.o. is feeling better than I have in years and I have recovered from my accident.  Dr. Joe treated my neck exceptionally, but went beyond to suggest other areas that would assist in the process which I’m glad I implemented. 

 I highly recommend Dr. Joe Perin.  He is very skilled, listens well and delivered great results for me."

 Migraine Headaches
"I began having migraine headaches when I was in high school almost 15 years ago. I struggled with my studies, and missed a lot of school. No one could find the cause for my headaches. I began taking Naproxen so I could manage during the attacks. When my fiance began to be overwhelmed with how much of my life was consumed by my migraines and how difficult it was to plan vacations or events, never knowing when I may become debilitated from the pain, I decided there must be a reason for my symptoms that could be fixed.

I began looking at alternative treatments such as acupuncture and general chiropractic, but the migraines continued. My Aunt called me one day to tell me about NUCCA care, which a friend of hers spoke highly about after receiving care for her own headaches. She passed along Dr. Perin's name, and after looking at his website, I called to make an appointment. I'm not really sure what I expected when I went to see him. I admit, I was surprised by how gentle the adjustment was...but more surprised when I realized a couple days after my 3rd adjustment that I hadn't had a migraine in 2 days.  I became obsessed with making sure I was still in alignment so the headaches couldn't come back. We just got back from a migraine-free week in Scotland, and I haven't looked for a bottle of meds in over 4 months!"

Fibromyalgia

'I have been a long time sufferer of undiagnosed pain. My MD wanted to label my symptoms as Fibromyalgia. I refused to accept that there was nothing besides pain medication that could help my condition. I wanted to be WELL, not simply mask my symptoms.  A neighbor gave me the book, "What time Tuesday", and as soon as I closed it, I searched for an Upper Cervical  Doctor near me. That is how I found Dr. Perin. I was relieved to hear that he used a low-force technique, and was shocked at my results. My headaches were GONE within 2 weeks, my leg pain faded away, the nerve pain in my arms and hands disappeared. I finally had my life back!  I avoided a life of  medications and constant pain by seeing Dr. Perin.  Not a day goes by that I am not grateful for Dr. Perin and the NUCCA technique.'
