Success Stories – Ashley Jacobsen

October 25, 2012 by Dr. Johnson

Ashley is a student and dedicated athlete.  She enjoys weight lifting, cross training, cardio and plyometrics.  She has gone to chiropractor off and on but never found one she liked.

Through the Outdoor Fitness Adventure Club, of which Dr. Johnson is an advisor, Ashley decided to seek his help.  “I was experiencing extreme headaches which kept me awake practically all night.  I felt like I could relate to Dr. Johnson after hearing him speak to club members on ways to prevent injury while working out.”

“I saw Dr. Johnson more frequently at first until my symptoms where under control, and now I just check back periodically to make sure my healing continues to progress.  My headaches are now completely gone, and I sleep comfortably through the night.  I even had numbness in my feet disappear.  I’ve never felt better,” says Ashley.  Dr. Johnson had figured out that Ashley’s neck was going in the wrong direction, almost straight.  He brought back the natural curve of her neck, which caused a large portion of the challenges she was facing.

“Dr. Johnson has also helped me get fit faster and become more flexible.  As a result of his efforts, my muscles repair much more quickly after workout.  I love paddle boarding, yoga and cross fit training.  Because my spine is working properly, I think it even helps me study better.”

Why Dr. Johnson?  Say Ashley, “Dr. Johnson is down to earth.  He’s very caring.  He makes time when it’s needed, and he’s knows what he’s doing.”

Success Stories – Jesse Hardeman

October 25, 2012 by Dr. Johnson

While serving his country during 2003 in Iraq, Jesse sustained a neck injury when a 25 pound sand bag landed on the back of his neck.  The good news was that Jesse’s love of soccer had created strong neck muscles that prevented a broken neck.  The bad news was that his condition was untreated for about six months.
Compressed disks, pinch nerves and bone spurs cause Jesse’s neck and shoulders to lock up.  “It’s very painful, and I didn’t go a day without pain.  I had headaches as well.  Before seeing Dr. Johnson, I sometimes had headaches that lasted for days.”
A move to San Clemente provided an opportunity for Jesse to seek out the help of Dr. Johnson.  “I wanted to work with someone utilizing the Gonstead method as a family member who is a chiropractor in Missouri uses this method very successfully.”
“I’ve been going to Dr. Johnson for about 2 years,” says Jesse.  “If my neck or back locks up, I could be out of work for a week.  I see Dr. Johnson regularly to prevent me from getting to that point.  He has provided me with exercises to help minimize the pain and stiffness as well as tips so my physically demanding job takes less of a toll on my body.”   
“I always recommend Dr. Johnson to anyone in need.  He keeps me well adjusted, and I am back playing soccer.  His level of knowledge, the methods he uses, his level of experience and expertise is outstanding.  Our entire family loves going to him.”

Success Stories – Allen Bailey

October 25, 2012 by Dr. Johnson

An automobile accident and later a work-related injury has caused Allen to suffer lower back problems since 1984.   Says Allen, “I’ve struggled with pain for years and have been seeing chiropractors off and on for over 25 years.

When his back went out on his construction job in Dana Point, Allen asked his wife to call around to find a local chiropractor with good rates and also close-by.  He met with Dr. Johnson and liked him immediately.  “He got the problem corrected quickly and I was back to work right away.  I continue to see Dr. Johnson only when needed so that I’m always walking correctly.  When I overcompensate, I need to get back into alignment as soon as possible.”

“Dr. Johnson is the first chiropractor in 15 years that is more concerned about getting me better than making money off me.  That’s why I recommend him.  He’s more caring about my health than any other chiropractor I’ve ever come across.  He has a very nice personality and is great to work with.”   Dr. Johnson’s attitude is what had Allen bring his wife in for treatment after suffering continual problems from a whiplash 18 years ago.

Continues Allen, “Before working with Dr. Johnson, I had to be very careful, particularly in my construction job, while picking up even the smallest of things.  While I’m more aware of the affects my movements cause, it can still be challenging.  If I’m at work and my back goes out, I can’t wait.  If I even wait a day, my back gets progressively worse until I start hobbling and lifting becomes an issue.  If it’s not addressed immediately, it also takes much longer to treat.  The thing I like most about Dr. Johnson is that he’ll fit me in as quickly as possible so that I can avoid pain and get back on track.  I appreciate how much he cares.”

One of Allen’s loves is the ocean.  He thoroughly enjoys fishing, surfing, diving and boating.  “I can do all these things now with much more confidence,” Allen explains.  “The last think you want to do on a fishing trip is have your back go out the second day on a seven day trip.  I’ve been there.  Not only is it expensive, it’s pretty depressing.  Because of Dr. Johnson, I don’t have to worry any more and can take pleasure in every minute of my day.”
Says Allen, “I recommend Dr. Johnson to all of my friends and family and to those people who have chronic back problems.  It’s well worth the drive wherever you live.”

Success Stories – Julie Martens

February 13, 2012 by Dr. Johnson

Julie Marten's Chiropractic Success StoryJulie works in the floral and event industry.  She weighs only 100 pounds and lifts a lot of weight as part of her job.  She had just moved to San Clemente when she started experiencing back pain.  Says Julie, “One day I was fine; the next I couldn’t move my neck.  I tried a heating pad and got a massage, but it didn’t work.   The truth is I didn’t really know what to do.”  After waking up the next day, Saturday, in tears due to the extreme pain, she went online to find a chiropractor open on the weekend.”

Dr. Johnson was the only one open on Saturday.  “I called Dr. Johnson and asked to be adjusted,” says Julie.  “He was extremely busy, but he squeezed me in.  He examined, then treated me.  He told me exactly what to do next in simple terms I could understand.”

Julie shares that she had heard all sorts of horror stories about chiropractors.  “Because of Dr. Johnson, I am now well and healthy.  I do go back occasionally to keep in check.  The truth is I love his entire staff.  They make me feel very welcomed and comfortable.  I recommend him to anyone who is unnecessarily suffering.”

Success Stories – Carl & Kazu

February 11, 2012 by Dr. Johnson

Carl Harris, President, Ookii Co Athletic Management and Marketing, San Clemente

Ookii Co is a full service athlete management and marketing firm located in San Clemente. With over 23 years of Action Sports Marketing, Events and Entertainment experience, Ookii Co has established itself as a leader in its field.  President Carl Harris is a client of Dr. Johnson’s as are the world class athletes he works with.  According to Mr. Harris, “From my perspective, Dr. Johnson is every bit as important to these athletes’ careers as the equipment they ride on.”

Carl himself experienced constant back problems for over 15 year.  He says, “I tried every stupid gimmick on the planet before a neighbor recommended me to Dr. Johnson.  My back would go out at least once every six months to the point where I was in the hospital for three straight days.  I was hesitant to try a chiropractor but I was desperate for relief.”  Since being treated by Dr. Johnson, Carl has gone nearly a year without any pain or problems. “My back has not gone out since I began seeing Dr. Johnson.  I feel 100% better.”

Kazu Kokubo, two time Japanese Olympian, current reigning and two-time US Open Snowboard champion

Carl’s company, Ookii Co Athletic Management and Marketing, represents Kazu Kokubo, a snowboarding superstar since he was 13.  Kazu represented Japan in the 2006 Olympics and then again in 2010.  “Kazu is one of the most fit people I’ve ever met in my life in pro and action sports,” says Carl.  “He’s highly regimented.  Due to the nature of what he does, it takes a heavy toll on his back.  Imagine jumping over 100 feet in the air and landing on your feet over and over.”  Years of constant impact had created a chronic problem.  As part of the company’s sports support system, Carl took Kazu to see Dr. Johnson for a check-up as soon as he came on board.

“Dr. Johnson works with our athletes to keep them flexible and healthy, whether the need arises from a traumatic experience like a crash or a chronic problem building up over time.”  In Kazu’s case, Dr. Johnson was the first person he saw after a serious car accident last December.  His car rolled six times, and Kazu was lucky to walk away alive.  Through Dr. Johnson, Kazu had a series of treatments relative to his neck that allowed him to go back to Japan pain free with total neck movement in just three days.

Says Carl, “I always recommend Dr. Johnson to anyone that I see wincing or uncomfortable.  He is the absolute best at what he does.”

Dr. Johnson has a gift and has helped my husband and me with acute back pain and will squeeze us in to see us at a moments notice. In addition, we have gone on and off for maintenance and never feel pressure to come in more than necessary. He is gentle, personable, kind and very talented. Both my husband and I highly recommend him.

The best chiropractor I've ever been to. Dr Johnson knows where to work on you to help you heal and recover. He's patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He's helped me through some very painful injuries and helped heal some old injuries that I thought where going to be a life long struggle. I appreciate Dr. Johnson and his abilities.

Dr. Johnson and his team are great! Whether it’s just a quick tune up or addressing an injury there’s nowhere else I’d rather go. Even my wife and kids see him when needed. Visits are quick and to the point without sacrificing bedside manner. They’re also super military friendly!

While in Orange Country on business (from Eastern NC) I developed some pretty significant lower back pain while out on a run- the type of pain that made moving, or sitting, terrible. The idea of sitting in an airplane seat from one side of the country to another was akin to medieval torture. So I hobbled into Doc Johnson's office, was seen promptly. He helped me work out my lower back issue by the end of the week to where sitting in an airplane was bearable. I was across the country from home and needed some help, and he really came through for me. I really appreciate it!
