Dr. Harry Llwewllyn’s Experience

I was reading when I first felt a dull ache in my lower back. The ache continued on and off for days. I knew that a car accident in my childhood had caused a severe lordosis or abnormal inward curvature of the lumbar vertebrae, but the injury had never affected me until now. Being a medical doctor, I followed the typical route of back x-rays and orthopedic surgeons. I was told I could avoid lying down on my back, tolerate the pain or try surgery. Not one of these answers appealed to me.

My brother-in-law advised me to visit a chiropractor. After a month of adjustments, I could read without any back pain. After five months of adjustments, I drove 18 hours back to New Jersey without any back pain. Until then, my limit in a car was 30 minutes.

Golfers….want to improve your golf game?

Are you a golfer but back pain is keeping you from your game?  Low back and neck pain are main reasons that golfers cannot play or play at their best. 

When you’re injured it is hard to play your best game! We have the answer to your problem.

The procedure is Spinal Decompression Therapy (also known as Spinal Decompression or SD).  SD is a non-surgical therapy proven to treat back pain with significant results.

Over a series of relaxing treatment sessions, patients experience powerful pain reduction and healing.  Some patients even notice an improvement in their symptoms after the first few treatments.

Patients enjoy lasting results, a four year study on the lasting effects of Spinal Decompression showed remarkable levels of sustained relief from back pain in patients that had undergone therapy.

71% showed more than 50% reduction in pain immediately after treatment.

52% of respondents reported a pain level of zero. 

Average pain levels were reduced from 7.41 to 1.57

Employment status increased by 40% among those previously out of     work due to back pain.

We have treated many patients with conditions ranging from golf injuries, back pain, and neck pain. 

My clinic uses Spinal Decompression to help patients who have had little success with other treatments.  This FDA approved Spinal Decompression has been the most important medical advance in the non-surgical, non-invasive treatment of back pain in the last ten years.

For anyone that lives in the Southern California area, I do offer a NO COST exam that determines if Spinal Decompression can help you.  If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me at this blog.

My name is Dr. Bob Moulas D.C…..I have been practicing in Orange California for over 24 years.  After serving in the U.S. Marine Corp., I attended Fullerton College, and later studied at Cleveland Chiropractic College. 

I believe in a personal interaction with my patients, and I have a genuine concern for your well-being and long term health. 

Health Bulletin 2: Auto Injuries Whiplash

Whiplash pain can be unlike any other types of pain. When a car accident is severe, the pain will come on right away. If the injury produces a slight or moderate sprain, sometimes it takes a few days for the pain and inflammation to reach its maximum. Sometimes it is stiffness that is the most common symptom and the patient notices this in the first few weeks after the accident. The delay in pain is often seen in low speed collisions.

There are a lot of factors that determine the extent of injury following a low speed whiplash. One of these is the neck posture prior to impact. Was the head rotated? This can occur if the patient was looking at the rear view mirror prior to the collision.

Speed and the amount of vehicle damage are sometimes good criteria for the severity of the trauma. However, it may not be in all cases due to crumple zones. Cars are built with crumple zones. These areas are crushed during the collision and absorb the impact. In low speed collisions, there is less crumple zone and more of the force is to the driver.

Another factor in whiplash is whether the head-rest was in the proper position. A proper head-rest should be close to the back of the head and its high point slightly above the top of the head. The reason for the high position is that in a rear-end collision, patient who is being hit will rise slightly with impact. If the head-rest is too low, then the neck will bend around it like a fulcrum causing even more injury. The same thing happens if the seat is reclined too far and the head whips backwards before hitting the head-rest.

Because symptoms can come on slowly and minor vehicle damage is not a proper indicator of injury, a thorough examination is recommended. It is important to be checked by a health care provider after an automobile accident.
