When I started seeing Dr. Johnson it was for my physical pain.  My daughter recommended this care to me.  She said,  "I don't know how to explain it , but you feel different."  I didn't really know what she meant by her statement.

Well I do now!  When I was a child, I was very depressed.  My mother was no only concerned  about me as a child, but as a teenager and an adult.  I started medication for my depression in my early 20's.  I never felt like a "normal" child or adult.  As life went on, with all the emotional bumps & bruises I received in life, I not only became more depressed, but angry as well.  Any little thing I would get angry at, and keep it inside.  I'm now 64 years old and at the point where I couldn't stand myself.  I thought about suicide thousands of times.  I couldn't even stand to listen to certain types of music; I wasn't sure why.

As I write this I cry because my depression has lifted.  I can now listen to beautiful music as I cry because I can "feel" now.  I feel more peaceful and not angry inside.  I was so angry at the whole world.

As for the physical benefits of NUCCA care, I have less pain, I can turn my neck when I drive, I move better and have more energy.
