TMJ Success

• " I wasn't sure about Dr. Dan when I first came to him. I had never heard of Low-Force, Applied Kinesiology Based Technique, called Koren Specific Technique (KST). But he sat down with me and my sister for an hour and explained what KST is. A week later, I pulled a muscle in my shoulder so badly that I needed to be on pain medication and a muscle relaxer. My sister and I desperately searched for a chiropractor or massage therapist to help relax my muscles and ease the pain. Remembering our meeting with Dr. Dan, we put in an early morning call to him, desperate for relief. He said to come right in to his office! While there, he applied Low-Force, Applied Kinesiology Based Techniques therapy to my pain, and 2 hours later, the pain was GONE! And it stayed GONE! I had repeatedly injured my shoulder muscles in the past, and nothing would completely relieve the pain. In fact, I had to return for 2 or more massages and chiropractic adjustments at a traditional chiropractic office I had been using. I also had to wear a sling and take muscle relaxers for several days afterward. Not this time. After only one-half day of taking meds, and receiving Dr. Dan's treatment, I was back to normal and completely pain-free!!!! I am so grateful! Dr. Dan has a true gift. A true gift! Thank you, Dr. Dan! "

• "Dr. Dan,
  
  I wanted to thank you for all you have done for me. I cannot put into words how appreciative I am. The thing is-you are not only helping me-you are helping my family (C----, J----, E----- & J----).
  The one time I will always remember is when I had the scare with the lump. I walked into your office so scared and the care and concern you gave was so much more than expected. I walked out feeling reassured that no matter what happened everything was going to be okay. You assured me that there were doctors out there to help.
  As far as migraines go, I can say when they do come on, they are a lot less intense than what they used to be. I can also say I am off all meds. I take none to prevent migraines or to abort them either. I got so frustrated with the cost and them messing with my metabolism. I started weaning myself not too long after talking to you about them. So far, so good.
  Like I said in the card a few months ago, time is not an issue for you. I still feel guilty about keeping you from your wife and daughter in the evenings. I guess I own them a thank-you too.
  Again, words cannot express my appreciation to you. I recommend people to you all the time and will continue to do so."

• "Hi, Dr. Dan,
  
  I hope I can convey in words just how much you've done for me and how much you mean to me. After being in constant, never-ending pain for more years than I can remember, I am thrilled to say I no longer have the constant pain between my shoulder blades, and even better---my neck no longer feels like it has hot, steel rods going up each side from my shoulders. I continue to use the foam wedges and the stretches you taught me.
  Before I came to you, I was taking 3-4 ibuprofen every night before bed to help reduce some of the pain so I could sleep, and then I would only get 2-3 hours consecutively a night.
  I no longer need the ibuprofen and I get a better night's sleep. I had dealt with almost daily headaches for more than 30 years, they were just a normal part of my day…and everyone knew they could get ibuprofen or aspirin from me, I always had it with be because of the headaches.
  I only had a couple headaches since I started to see you, and that's been over a year now. I also thank you for increasing my overall health knowledge. It was such a treat for me to have a doctor discuss health and nutrition from a non-medical position. But, maybe what is even more wonderful for me, is our shared spiritual beliefs…so, I thank you for sharing that part of yourself with me, and for introducing me to some wonderful people. "

• "To whom it may concern:
  
  "Dr. Dan" Secrest is a true healer on all levels. He encourages me to seek a higher level of truth in my healing, teaching me to believe that healing begins with me, my willingness to heal with my body and mind.
  I came to Dr. Dan, referred by a friend who I saw hunched over with a cane, then suddenly walking around with great posture and no pain. The friend had the same problem I had, a herniated disc. I had just received my second epidural shot and was still in severe pain. My medical doctor recommended surgery, which wasn't acceptable to me.
  I decided to visit a few other chiropractic practices that offered traction treatment. Then, I found Dr. Dan. At half the cost and closer to my home, I decided to commit to a course of treatment with him. I was out of pain in 2 weeks.
  Dr. Dan educates along the way, explaining x-ray results, by showing you on film exactly what's going on, why it's happening, how he's going to heal it with my help, and comparing it to other x-rays of healed spines and necks. Treatment with Dr. Dan is a two person deal. I agreed to show up for all appointments and follow the home exercise program he customized for me. His part of the deal is to treat me with respect, provide expert treatment, and listen to my symptoms (and sometimes personal problems), all with humor, great compassion and concern.
  I am now, three months later, well on my way to recovery. My latest x-rays show a 50% improvement!!! It took my body 50 years to become the condition it is now. I found this amount of improvement over just 3 months to be absolutely amazing.
  I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Dan for your spinal care needs. "

• "Dr. Daniel Secrest has changed my life! This is not a statement made off-handedly, but one with sincere sentiment.I met Dr. Dan through a personal referral. I was told that this doctor might be able to help relieve the physical pain I was experiencing.
  I have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and have been in pain every day since. I felt as though my life had been interrupted at a young age. From the first three appointments with Dr. Secrest, I knew I would be in good hands. He not only assessed my immediate pain, but he was able to relieve my feelings of anxiety about possibly being in pain for the rest of my life. He put me on a plan of treatments, home exercises and nutrition. This combination is working wonderfully!
  Then, Dr. Secrest went beyond the norm. He was sensitive enough to see that my emotions were in need of care also. He was able to guide me in a direction that helped with this and, in turn, also assisted with my physical healing. Dr. Daniel Secrest is a powerful resource and I would highly recommend him for your health care needs.
