I would travel to the other side of the world to have the relief and hope that you restored for me.
Dear Dr. Jarrell,
I just wanted to write you a note to say thank you, as I did not get a chance to thank you in person as I would have liked. (I didn't want to interrupt your class more than I already did- thank you for letting me participate.)
I had been in a large amount of pain that has been preventing me from enjoying my life the way I wanted. I have been searching for answers for it for 5 years (but I was dealing with it much longer.) The week before the treatment that I
had with you I was at a point of depression and desperation. I needed SOMETHING to be able to take care of my two small children. I was considering options that I knew wouldn't fix the problem, but might cover up some symptoms for a while so that I could give more to my children. But I also knew with a heavy
heart that I would have other problems later down the road from prescriptions- I just thought I'll deal with those problems then, I have to deal with my life today.
Then I met you, and you gave me renewed hope.
I wanted to jump and tap dance for you because I was so happy with the relief that I felt (but I'm too conservative by nature!) So maybe it didn't seem like it meant as much to me, but it greatly did.
I know that my condition isn't stable, and that I still have a way to go before I am out of the pit that I was in... but I see a light at the end, and I haven't seen that with any other method that I've tried.
I had a hump on my upper back that I was very embarrassed and discouraged about- I'm only 25 and I felt like an old woman. I was getting severe migraines every couple of days making it difficult to take care of my children. I was losing function in my arms gradually...
All of that is still gone after your treatment. I didn't expect 3 treatments to relieve those symptoms (and many more) after only three treatments. I've continued care with my husband who learned your technique, and I've been able to
maintain a higher level of functionality with the exercises as well.
You have given me something very valuable- and that is joy. I find joy every day being able to do things that I've never been able to do (Like touch my toes! I was a dancer in high school, and I was never able to touch my toes with all the stretching in the world.) I have energy to do the tasks that I need to do, and I haven't had a migraine since so far, so I can give more of myself to my family. We all thank you greatly for paving a new road for people who were starting to feel lost and hopeless like I was.
There is no price tag too great for the quality of life that I feel is achievable now. I would travel to the other side of the world to have the relief and hope that you restored for me. And that's the greatest gift that you have given me is hope. Thank you for sharing your talent with my husband to help more people. And thank you for sharing your time to help me, I know that God will bless you in your pursuit because you have the answer to help many more people. All they have to do is just try one more thing.
Thank you with all sincerity,
April Moore
Dr. Frank discovered the real problem
The path to recovery started in Durango. I was diagnosed with a moderate herniated disc in the L4/L5 area November 2004. I had been doing too much strength exercises, especially leg press, too much too fast. Chiropractors in Norway helped me out a little bit during the acute phase, but had no focus on self managed exercises with stretching. Finally they said I was "good enough", telling me time take care of further healing process. After reading about Tom Danielson in a Norwegian newspaper I learned about Dr. Frank in Durango, CO, USA. I corresponded with him over half a year before I decided to make the long trip to Durango, February 2006. That made the difference.
Dr. Frank found out that my primary problem is a local stenotic and multiple retrolithesis pattern in the lumbar spine, most pronounced at L5. Thus, the herniated disc itself was not the main problem. The management strategy is to improve the lumbar lordosis while reducing the acute lumbo-sacral angle, and thereby reducing the retrolithesis and stenotic condition. After seven days of chiropractic and soft tissue treatments along the entire spine, I felt a major difference. It was particularly interesting to discover that treatments in my neck and upper back reduced pain and stiffness in my lower back. I could run for over an hour pain free, something I had not been able to do for many years. Dr. Frank set up a comprehensive managing strategies program for me with focus on posture, stretching and exercising which I have been doing faithfully every day since I got home. I am also getting great help from Leif Arne Lystad, a local sports physical therapist who does the soft tissue treatments in accordance with Dr. Frank, and with basis in his own experience. I have been feeling gradually better all the time. Late May I finished a 100 km road race PAIN FREE in 2:31, improving my over all time from last year with over 20 minutes!
Conclusion: Dr. Frank gave me a thorough analysis, discovered the real problem and set up a comprehensive stretching and exercise program that is helping me to return to the bike stronger than ever. I feel I have more power on the pedals and I am more flexible in my general movements on the bike. Thank you, Dr. Frank.

A Huge Relief
The work of Dr. Frank Jarrell has postponed my need for knee replacement surgery and restored a quality of life for me. Twenty plus years ago I had several knee surgeries related to torn cartilage and a stretched anterior cruciate ligament. From the first surgery until now I had limited range of motion in my right knee. I could not fully straighten my leg nor could I fully bend my leg. I adapted to this reduce motion and was able to conduct 85% of my pre-surgery activities until the past few years. The range of motion in my knee steadily decreased, frequency, duration and magnitude of pain increased and I was emotionally and physically reduced to no activity, even walking. This had an immense affect on me psychologically. My only hope for relief seemed to be another surgery to replace my knee joint. For 40 years I led an active life style and now I couldn't.
That is about the time Dr. Jarrell began SRA therapy. This therapy physically restored a range of motion that has allowed me to return to greater levels of activity. In addition, the pain has subsided to the lowest levels I can remember. This work has postponed the need for a knee replacement surgery, which has been a huge relief for me. It has also renewed my hope, energy and attitude again. For me, being physically active is an integral part of my well being. I often wonder if I ever needed the first knee surgery I ever had. Now I wonder if this type of therapy had been applied to me post surgery, if my recovery would have been affected. It has too much potential to overlook; too many lives might be impacted.

It Didn't Hurt Like It Always Does
The method you used in your Chiropractic (SRA CMT) with regard to my previoulsly diagnosed "frozen shoulder" has had continued success thus far. I have retained what I would guess to be at least 97% of the virtually full range of motion you got me to during the session. Additionally, throughout Sunday and Monday following I did not experience any of the range of motion pain I had been experiencing on a regular daily basis for weeks in my work and leisure movements. It's funny how it takes a while to dawn on you that "hey, I reached for that item and it didn't hurt like it always does".
With regard to my neck pain that had come on about only a week ago, I have not had to do my daily icing and I'm certain my driving is safer as I have full range of motion with my neck again and can actually watch out for on coming cars!
I enjoyed the soft tissue work (SRA AP Therapy) as well that was performed on me later in the day by the massage therapists. I'm amazed at how "full body" relaxing that work is not to mention the effects the work no doubt had on the two previously mentioned conditions.
As I listened to the instruction given to the trainees in your system, I was struck at how much sense it makes to even a lay person such as myself. What an amazing concept!

Most Thorough and Comprehensive
The SRA treatment was very beneficial to me as a patient and improved several neck and other body points that have been under stress. The chiropractic analysis and adjustment were by far the most thorough and comprehensive that I have experienced. [note: I have seen many chiropractors] Thank you so much.

Client Comments for other SRA Practitioners:
Debbie Poland - Wellsburg IA - 641-485-6154
I was at my wits end. I had cracked my femur, torn muscles and ligaments. Two treatments of SRA did more to help than twelve chiropractic treatments for my leg problem. SRA is quite a concept, I would recommend it to anyone.
Robert Donaldson, age 76, Union Iowa
Sandra Anderson - Cedar Falls IA - 319-610-7808
Recently I went to Sandi Anderson, Massage Therapist at Amosson Chiropractic 3510 Kimball Avenue, in Waterloo. I had an injury to my left hip area that over time had caused tingling, pain and numbness down my left leg. After seeing Sandi just three times and receiving the SRA treatments , I noticed a significant change in my condition.
The tingling, numbness and pain has gone away and I am able to run on the treadmill like never before. I thank Sandi for getting training in this breakthrough technique called SRA. I have been telling everyone about it! I could not be happier with the results. My rehabilitation doctor told me that the only thing left to do was possibly get shots for the nerve in the muscle. Now, I do not have to do that.
SRA has given me a new lease on life and I am in the best shape I have ever been in since I was a teenager. Thank you, thank you, thank you for educating Sandi on this wonderful alternative to traditional treatments.
