http://www.drjonr.com/podcast/23 Dr. Nand's healing journey began while she was still a teenager. At 19 years old and in college, she was in an automobile accident and suffered severe whiplash. With debilitating pain, she went to a massage therapist who immediately referred her to a chiropractor. After three visits, she could move her neck and actually resumed her normal life.
