| - On 9 Jun 2010, as part of the Air Force Combat Rescue I was shot down in Southern Afghanistan while saving a critically injured Marine. I received burns to 35% of my left leg and 10% of my right foot. I broke my ankle, hip, tailbone, back in 4 spots, busted disc's in my back, broke 3 ribs, sternum, collar bone and jaw. I puncher my lung and received a deep puncher wound to the left upper hamstring. As a result, I had my achilles tendon removed and 2 1/2 toes on my right foot amputated. I spent 5 months in a hospital bed and went through 15 surgeries, longest one lasting 13 hours.
On 3 Nov 2010 I was finally discharged and flew home. I could not walk and spent all of my time in a wheelchair due to my injuries and muscle atrophy. I had lost 80lbs of muscle. I was then referred to Active Life Health & Wellness of Las Vegas from a friend.
After 2 weeks of theory, I was able to walk.
Week 3: I was able to walk straight up without pain.
Week 4: Able to walk without a cane
Week 5: Able to work out at the gym
I am still seeing gains. Chronic back problems that I had before my incident have gone away. I remember having to do a "Sumo Squat" to wash my face in the morning. Since seeing this office, I have no back problems, even after I broke my back. Skin problems are a thing of the past, as well as my heartburn. I feel REALLY HEALTHY!
The thing I love the most has to be the relationship you build with the people that work here. The highlight of my day is going to get my corrections and do my daily exercises while socializing with the nurses, doctors, and other patients. It is a very healty atmosphere. Never seen anything like it.
In the end, this place is great. They don't make minor corrections that will keep you having to come to them forever. They find the root cause of the problem and fix it permanetly. But... see for yourself.
