Testimonials

I had no hope of getting better when I started treatments. However, with time, dedication and patience I started feeling the recovery taking place. Hopefully the pain will not come back. If it does, it is nice to know that now I have a place to turn to.

-- Thornhill Woods, Low back pain A.P.

I was referred to Ariela by a number of my friends. In the past wen I was younger I did not have many issues with my health, but with time and many stressful situations my body was capitulating, and I needed help to be in shape and be able to be there for my family physically and spiritually. Thanks G-d that I was able to use Ariela's skills to get me back in shape. My pains are disappearing and my spirits are high again! I love her office that she beautifully designed for her clients and I am very privilleged to come here and receive the best care Ariela can give with her caring hands and words.

Best wishes, may H-shem grant you good health for many years to come to be able to help may people like me!

-- Vaughan, Back pain, Chaya F.

Unfortunately I don't exercise regularly and I'm a little overweight, but life goes on and despite all odds, my lower back and neck problems melt under Ariela's hands. Thank you!

Headaches Case Study

Patient Info	Girl, 15 years
History	Patient started to have headaches 3 years ago. She complains of pain above her eyes that usually comes on in the afternoon and lasts up until bedtime. She generally has headaches 2-4 times per week.
Observation Evaluation	On evaluation patient was found to have very restricted mobility of cranial bones. There was a restriction around the third ventricle, almost in the center of the head. In addition, the 1st vertebra position was too far forward compressing vessels passing from the neck to the head.
Anatomical and Physiological Relevance	Cranial bones mobility helps to pump fluid inside the brain. Decreased mobility means decreased nutrition and decreased blood flow to the brain. The third ventricle helps to produce and distribute cerebrospinal fluid, which nourishes and cushions the brain. Poor position of the first vertebra affects the greater occipital nerve causing headaches, and also prevents normal blood supply/outflow from the brain.
Course of Treatment	Patient had 4 weekly sessions of therapy with focus on mobility of the skull and blood supply to the brain. A month later she was given another session and was scheduled for a follow-up in 6 months.
Outcome	At the end of the first month patient reported feeling 80-90% better. She said that over the last week she only had 1 mild headache. During follow-up a month later she felt great and only had 2 headaches during previous month. Her condition continued to improve and she was headache-free half a year later.
