I Couldn't Have Done It Without You!

Adam Dear

As a year round competitive swimmer, I spend a lot of my time in the pool.  When championship season comes around, it is critical to be at our peak fitness level. A week before this year’s state championships, I injured my shoulder and upper back during practice. The pain was severe and was definitely putting my ability to compete in question.

I went to see Dr.Fico and received an evaluation and an adjustment followed up by laser therapy treatment.  I felt an immediate improvement.  The laser therapy dramatically sped up the recovery process.  Following Dr. Fico’s advice, I practiced kick sets only for several days and received daily adjustments and laser therapy treatments the week leading up to the state championships.Over the 3-day meet, I competed in morning preliminary races to qualify for the evening finals. I went on to win 4 Gold Medals and 4 Silver Medals and the Individual High Point Award for my age group.

Thank you Dr. Fico, I couldn't have done it without you! - Adam Dear




“Surgery was NOT an option for me…”

Leading a healthy and very active lifestyle, I chose to commit to rehabilitation a natural way that included adjustments and decompression therapy instead. Not only did this treatment allow me to walk again but also to run again and maintain my vigorous daily sports routine without having any invasive surgery or using any serious medication. I believe I have become healthier through decompression therapy and become stronger through the treatments. I will continue to benefit from this positive life change and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Fico and the staff at Strand Spine Institute are always positive and friendly. I know they genuinely care about my health and recovery. They have developed a lifelong with me as a patient, and I look forward to my visits. - Susan Flak
