I came to Dr. Loc with severe back pain and sciatica on my left side. I had been doing chiro, physical therapy, and acupuncture for 3 months with no results.

IMPORTANT: IF A DOCTOR IS RECOMMENDING SURGERY TO YOU FOR SOME LOCOMOTIVE ISSUE, PLEASE CONSISER SEEING LOC FOR A SECOND OPINION FIRST.I saw 6 physical therapists through my health insurance and diligently did what they told me to do. It gave me no relief.I saw Loc once. He got me 90% relieved and it was such profound relief that I had a really profoundly emotional release in the middle of it. Following the exercises he gave me, I have had relief for years.I have recommended 3 or 4 people to Loc so far. Each of them have had similar experiences.Are you in chronic pain? Have your doctors and physical therapists been unable to help? Go see Loc. Nobody else compares.

I learned about the importance of breathing...read full review
