This man gave me my life back. I SEVERELY injured my neck whitewater kayaking. MDs gave me vicoden, steroids & muscle relaxers, DOs did the same thing neither of which would even touch my neck due to being afraid of breaking it. I tried massage & acupuncture for pain management and even saw a orthopedic surgeon who gave me injections and put me on traction. I eventually (meaning MANY years) had an acupunture appointment with one of the instructors at Oregon College of Oriental Medicine who referred me to Dr. Illo.
He took a whole slew of x-rays & was able to tell me on the first visit what could be done. Unlike some of the other reviewers I did have to go see Dr. Illo a few times a week for a while and then it slowly got better for longer. I had relief from the first visit and....for the first time in over five years was able to turn my head to the left. Having finally received treatment for my injury I was excited to sit in his waiting room for hours at a time. After three months I was able to manage my injury with tennis balls and stretches. Unfortunately I moved far away from Dr. Illo or I would have continued to see him.
Now I am working on getting accepted to Chiropractor school and hope to learn the techniques Dr. Illo uses so I can help people as much as he has helped me.
