In September 2010 I injured my lower back. This caused discomfort, pain, stiffness difficulty bending/straightening and so forth. I decided to consult Dr. Walker after almost a week where there was little or no improvement.
He took a full history, gave a thorough exam and did x-rays. Afterward he consulted with me on the results. He had reviewed the history and analyzed the x-rays. He showed me in detail what my condition was in black & white. Besides the current injury, I had significant loss of curvature in both my upper and lower spine. It was also discovered that my left hip was lower than my right, causing my spine to be displaced to the left.
Dr. Walker recommended a course of treatment, and was honest in telling me that there may be only a 50/50 chance of making any significant improvement in my lower spine. I committed to the treatment and received electro-stimulation therapy, adjustments, exercise regimens, orthotics and traction for both my upper and lower spine.
The symptoms related to my injury were gone or much improved in a few weeks and I continued treatment. In that time I received two new sets of x-rays. Each has shown significant increases in the curvature of both my upper and lower spine. I think the improvement was even more than Dr. Walker had expected. The orthotics had also helped to level out my left and right sides.
Dr. Walker cares about his patients in regard to their back, neck and other problems in the short term and has techniques to address them. He also cares about our long term health in general. Since our spines house the nerves that control every function in our bodies, a healthy spine also promotes healthy organs, muscles and so forth.
Dr. Walker sincerely wants to help people live active, healthy, long lives unencumbered by aches, pains and diseases. He will team up with you to help give you a better life.
