My Accident

Ken Andre – Ohio

I was in a car accident where a pickup truck ran a red light, moving over 50 MHP; it hit the driver’s side of my vehicle.  The impact propelled my 7600 pound vehicle over 50 feet from the point of impact, and I was ejected from the driver’s bucket seat… into the passenger seat… I was also knocked unconscious.   

Years of Ineffective Treatments

For nearly five years, I sought treatment at emergency rooms, Orthopedics, Podiatrists, Neurologists, General Practitioners, Pain Management Doctors, and Physical Therapy, which lead to numerous X-Rays, MRIs, Nerve Condition Studies, Electro Mylograms, Blood Work, and Test book Exam Procedures.  After having no two diagnosis being the same, the above professionals experimenting with numerous prescriptions (one proven to be near fatal), 36 faucet nerve blocks, 12 cervical epidurals, and manipulative treatments with little pain relief and no corrective action, Radio Frequency Ablation was then scheduled.

Referred to Dr. Dong

A week before my RF Ablation was scheduled, I was referred to Dr. Dong at the Alternative Health Clinic.  Dr. Dong reviewed my X-Rays, MRIs, and treatment history, then asked me something no other doctor has ever asked.  She asked how did the accident happen, step by step… She also understood what I had been asking previous physicians for nearly five years — “I want to repair the damage, not mask the pain it creates”.  She also restricted me to light duty — another first.

Dr. Dong Was Different

Dr. Dong then did another thing no on else had done… explained where the root cause of my pain came from…  She also explained why RF Ablation was the wrong procedure for me and why it was far too risky for someone in my profession…

Began Treatment

I began treatment on the Vivatek, which achieves disc decompression in a non-linear manner…  After only 11 treatments, I had significantly less pain, and the subsequent Surface EMG scan corroborated this.

Continued Treatment

…I have continued the Vivatek treatments, as prescribed by Dr. Dong, along with Surface EMGs… Each scan, depicting steady improvements and less pain… I can now sleep on my side, I’m no longer taking any pain medications, and can sleep all night without waking. I now have hope that the damage from the accident can be reversed and I can be pain free and resume the life I had before the accident.

One Wish

…I only wish I had not lost nearly five years on doctors that were still practicing and gone to Dr. Dong first… Doctor Dong’s office is 750 miles from where I live, but I would have traveled 3000 miles for the caring and focused medical expertise and treatment that I have found at the Alternative Health Clinic.  Thank you Dr. Dong, and everyone at the Alternative Health Clinic.  You have set the bar for excellence in health care that few can even reach.
