Neck & Back Pain Center

Before I came to see Dr. Burnham in iamond Bar I had been in gymnastics since the age of 6 and had an accident during this time. I landed on my head. When I was 14, I went to Raging Waters and I injured my low back. I was a cheerleader in 2001 were I did a lot of lifting. After all that happened to me, I never thought these injuries would effect me several years later. So after many years went by and my health problems and pain kept adding up. At 22 years old, I had constant sharp neck pain and low back pain. My arms and feet would go numb. I had motion sickness and sharp pains over my stomach. In 2003 I was diagnosed with anxiety. The M.D. prescribed depression medications Zoloft, Wellbetrin XL and Tylenol for my condition. After a few months, I was rushed to the hospital with acute liver failure and came within hours of dying. At this point, I was in a lot of pain and I knew I was not going to get better by taking these drugs. When I came to see my chiropractor, Dr. Paul Burnham at the Neck and Back Pain Center, we sat down and spoke about my problem. He did a unique exam and took x-rays of my neck and spine. We went over my x-rays and he explained key areas in my spine were causing my symptoms to increase. He when through treatments I had not heard of before. He spent time reviewing herbs which would strengthen my immune system. His treatment started to correct areas of pain I had suffered with for years. He provided physical therapy and a style he referred to as symmetry chiropractic. Since I started the program, my neck and low back pain has disappeared and my overall health is much better. I can definitely say my immune system is stronger. My stomach has healed. I would recommend everybody who has health problems to come and see Dr. Burnham. He has made a difference in my life and I am very thankful. more

I originally slipped and fell down a stairway landing on my back. I was told by my employer to go to their company doctor. He was a medical doctor and prescribed various medications. I was not getting results. I was then sent to a Physical Therapist for several months. Afterwards the doctors said I was cured. I would not go anywhere without prescription pain killers. I was still experiencing pain when I had to push or pull anything and if I would lift anything over about 30 lbs. I also developed headaches and insomnia. I noticed my energy was gone. I didn't believe I was cured. After visiting with Dr. Paul, my chiropractor at the Neck and Back Pain clinic in Diamond Bar, I felt he could help me. After treatment, I noticed my body would relax and I didn't feel nervous. My back pain started to go away so I stopped taking medications. About the same time my headaches improved. My occupation adds variables I don't even have control over and I have been able to keep up with the demands. A definite change from before. I've never met a doctor who gets so involved with his patient's health. more

Several years ago I was diagnosed with Rotator Cuff Tendonitis in both my shoulders. I had an M.R.I. and the doctor prescribed Physical Therapy for 6 weeks. A few months later I pulled the same muscle in my back and it was unbearably painful. My family doctor diagnosed me with Degenerative Disc Disease. The medical doctor prescribed Soma and Naproxen for my pain. I am a fairly active middle-aged female who several years ago completed the LA marathon. Now I struggled with walking a mile. My energy during the afternoon was non-existent. Sometimes I would get dizzy for no reason. I had gotten earaches from time to time. Before seeing Dr. Paul at the Neck and back Pain Center in Diamond bar, I was starting to get numbness in my arms and hands. After going through Dr. Paul's exam I thought to myself no other doctor tested me as thoroughly as this. He showed me areas of my spine that were weak. Even though my back was killing me, he pointed out that my neck was causing weakness and pain in my back. I noticed a marked improvement in my flexibility after getting treatments. This reduced the amount of pain in my low back and shoulders. After each treatment I felt better. I now can walk several miles without discomfort. My goal is to participate in the next LA Marathon. Recently, I completed the LA Marathon. I ran/walked with my mom for 26.2 miles and we made it in 6 hours and 41 minutes! more

My friend Carol referred me to Dr. Burnham of the Neck and Back Pain Center in Diamond Bar. She said he could help me. After he did a spinal exam, and took X-rays we got started with my program. While moving around from room to room the first couple treatments I had such severe pain I would scream out. Dr. Paul's ear probably is still ringing to this day. He assured me Rome wasn't built in a day and relief will continue gradually. He was right. By the next week I could get up from a lying down position without rolling sideways onto the floor and straining to push myself up. Before I came in to see Dr. Burnham I suffered from occasional sharp pain in my back and neck for many years. This time it was really bad and I had pain in my neck, arm, hands, elbows, and knees. I had numbness, spasms, swelling of my ankles, constant right arm pain, sciatica down right leg, and sharp and severe low back pain. I had to lay in bed for about a week and the pain would get worse when lying or sitting for long period of time. I felt and looked crooked. I had severe low back episodes for about a year. A constant pain would run down my right arm, to my elbow and wrist. I went to see a Kaiser doctor and all I was given was Codeine and Tylenol. The medication did nothing because the pain was still there. I had been traveling on the bus with this severe neck and back pain. The bus had gone over a deep pothole which jerked my body very hard. It was at about this time, I developed a sudden case of Bell's palsy. The doctor's at Kaiser wanted to give me steroids and painkillers. Dr. Paul provided alternative treatment, which began to heal my Bell's palsy. He used herbal combinations to allow my body to heal. I wore an eye patch for over 2 weeks. Gradually each week my facial muscles and eyelid would improve. It has been 6 weeks and my facial condition is over 80 % corrected. After one month of care my low back pain is 80% better. After 4 more weeks the bell's palsy is completely gone. Call Dr. Burnham at 909-861-1375. more

I am 13. Before my leg pain and had seen many doctors but they could not find out was was causing my problems. My mom took me in to see Dr. Burnham. I had been suffering from leg pain for several weeks. I have been diagnosed with a tumor in my right thighbone. My grandfather died from a tumor in his leg that spread in his body. I also have chest pains, back pains and occasional nose bleeds. I get headaches, dizziness and chills. The doctors wanted to give me chemo and radiation therapy. I also had blood in my urine. My chiropractor, Dr Burnham of the Neck and Back Pain Center in Diamond Bar, was very concerned about finding the cause to my problem and fixing it. He reviewed with me and my mom the process of abnormal cell growth and said the best option was to restore nervous system function and let the body heal itself. He explained the body would destroy the tumor faster if my immune system was stronger and my blood supply was clean and full of nutrition. He prescribed herbal formulas which were organic. I started to feel much better. I noticed changes the first couple days. Gradually my leg pain and back pain went away. My headaches, nosebleeds and the other problems are gone. My mom was given an estimate of 6 months by Dr. Burnham before trying to get Kayser to do tests again. After 4 months we got Kayser to do a follow up. The xrays fooled the Kayser doctor. The tumor was gone. He was surprised and did not believe it. He did not even care what we had did to remove the tumor. Dr. Burnham told my mom the body will heal itself if given the chance and it did. I would say to anyone, call Dr. Burnham at 909-861-1375. He can help. more
