| “Spinal Dynamics has been a trusted health care provider to our entire family for several years. The doctors and staff are friendly, efficient, and thorough. Most importantly, they clearly have a genuine interest in your well being, and take the time to create and explain a plan tailored to your individual needs. This is not your typical “walk-in, get adjusted, walk-out” chiropractor’s office – this is a revolutionary approach to your health, and the results are dramatic. Dr. Suzi and Dr. Travis have definitely earned our family’s appreciation and respect for all they have done for us.” |

| “After suffering with scoliosis for over 50 years, the SpineCor back brace and the Spinal Dynamics treatments have given me welcome relief from pain. This has been a blessing for me.” |
Lou Ann S, Emmett, Id |
| “Spinal Dynamics has helped my three children so much. I have a 13, 12 and 7 year old, all on the autism spectrum. The traction and care that they have received from Spinal Dynamics has made huge improvements with cognitive function and their overall reduction of pain. When we began it was hard to get them to do the traction. My kids were rude and disruptive on more than one occasion. They were cranky a lot and I believe that the pain they were in came out in their behavior. Now they are more polite and they don't have the chronic pain. No words could show our gratitude to Spinal Dynamics staff and both Dr.'s Cunningham. I would recommend traction to anyone in chronic pain. My only regret now is I didn't find them years ago!” |
Kari S., Nampa, Id |
| “For ten years, I lived with often unbearable pain in my neck, left arm, low back, right leg and buttocks. This made it difficult for me to sleep, drive or fully function as a teacher. I had various tests including x rays, MRI’s, EMG’s and CT scans to aid in diagnosing and evaluating my pain. I tried physical therapy and had carpal tunnel surgery to no avail. I considered steroid injections and neck surgery but after witnessing the negative effects from a co-worker I decided to try rehabilitation traction prescribed and administered by the doctors of Spinal Dynamics. After receiving this highly precise “corrective care”, I am now pain free. I have nearly forgotten those excruciating, always present pains of my past. I am extremely grateful to Dr’s Suzi and Dr. Travis for elevating the quality of my life, even as I age! I feel great! I feel better today then I have in a very long time thanks to all the caring staff at Spinal Dynamics.” |

SPINAL DYNAMICS CASE STUDIES:
 |
Case Study #1: Neck pain and bilateral hand numbness The patient presented with neck pain and hand numbness. He was diagnosed with carpal tunnel and recommended surgery after no improvement from previous physical therapy and chiropractic. The patient was treated in our office with Chiropractic Biophysics therapy. Within six months his symptoms reduced to where no surgery was needed. |

Case Study #2: Low back pain, left hip pain and left leg parasthesia The patient presented with low back pain, left hip pain and tingling in the left leg. Previous treatment included physical therapy and chiropractic, with temporary symptom relief, but the pain would return. The patient was treated in our office with Chiropractic Biophysics therapy. Her original symptoms resolved and have not reoccurred for the past 2 years. She also reported having more energy then she had felt in years post treatment. |

Case Study #3: Headaches and Right Shoulder blade pain The patient presented with neck pain, headaches and right shoulder blade pain following a whiplash injury. The patient reports the right shoulder blade pain was present prior to the injury, but was exacerbated. The patient was treated in our office with Chiropractic Biophysics therapy. His symptoms resolved and have not returned. His correction was maintained on a 9 months post treatment x-ray. |
 |
Case Study #4: Scoliosis This 42 year old female presented with scoliosis, causing low back pain and midback pain. In addition the patient presented with chronic headaches. The patient was diagnosed with scoliosis as a teenager. The patient was treated in our office with CBP traction. Her scoliosis curve was able to be reduced by 50%. The patient feels much better with only occasional low back pain and occasional headaches. |

Case Study # 5:
Degenerative Disc Disease, Neck pain, Frozen shoulder
The patient presented with neck pain and right shoulder pain as well as loss of mobility complicated by degenerative disc disease. The patient was unable to raise her arm past forty-five degrees. The patient was treated at Spinal Dynamics with CBP treatment protocols as well as at home Dennerroll traction and exercises. In addition, soft tissue therapy was used to increase shoulder mobility. The patient’s symptoms resolved and full range of motion of the shoulder was restored. |
