Minnesota Patient Recovers from Chronic Neck Pain Through Non-Surgical Treatment

After suffering head and neck injuries from a fall on the ice in 2019, a Woodbury resident endured nearly five years of chronic pain, dizziness, vertigo, and headaches. Despite visiting multiple specialists including three neurosurgeons who recommended spinal surgery and a neurologist for nerve pain, he found that lasting relief seemed impossible. Everything changed when he was referred to Dr. Cody Rodewald at ALIGN Integrated Health in Lakeville. Through a comprehensive, non-surgical approach focused on restoring movement, posture, and neurological balance, the patient regained his neck mobility and returned to an active, pain-free life without surgery or drugs.

Dr. Rodewald, clinic director at ALIGN Integrated Health, described the case as very unique. The patient came to the clinic after nearly every other treatment option had been exhausted, making ALIGN what he called the last chance clinic. Recovery did not happen overnight, but with consistency, the patient's body responded. Within six months, he was doing pushups again, exercising, and most importantly living without pain. ALIGN Integrated Health specializes in combining advanced chiropractic care, functional movement therapy, and neurological rehabilitation techniques to help patients overcome complex conditions.

For patients like this Woodbury resident, the team's integrative approach often provides an alternative to invasive procedures or long-term medication dependence. The patient reported trying everything for four to five years, including nine injections and countless consultations that led him to believe surgery was his only option. Dr. Rodewald helped him get his gait back, restore his neck movement, and eliminate the pain all naturally. Dr. Rodewald and the ALIGN team continue to help patients throughout Minnesota regain function and quality of life through evidence-based, drug-free care available at https://alignlakeville.com.
