Before coming to Dr. Roth I was told I would have to have spinal surgery due to a herniated disk in my neck. That would involve going through the front of my throat, past my vocal cords, and into my spinal cord. The herniated disk wouldve been removed and replaced with bone matter that wouldve been taken from my hip. In addition I wouldve had screws to help operate my neck properly to make up for the lack of movement. There was no guarantee given that this would fix the problem. It wouldve been at least a 2 week recovery time and an expensive, risky surgery. There wouldve been permanent damage to my spine that, in my opinion, wouldve have a domino effect on the rest of my vertebrae over time, causing more problems. This started in January 2016 and continued to get worse until the end of March, when I finally saw Dr. Roth. I was in a lot of pain everyday all the time. I was having trouble sleeping, driving, and just sitting. I started to loose feeling in my thumb and experienced numbness down my right arm. In that time I was going to physical therapy, getting X Rays and an MRI to try and figure out what was going on. The physical therapy was making it worse and I was starting to think I would never feel back to normal again. It was very upsetting because I had not had any accidents or traumatic situations to cause this problem - I just woke up with the overwhelming pain one morning. After being told I would need surgery to hopefully fix the problem, I decided to get one last opinion from Dr. Roth. The orthopedic doctor had told me that a chiropractor wouldnt be able to help but I had to at least try! After reviewing my X Rays, MRI, and initial exam Dr. Roth assured me that he could help me and that my body would heal with the right adjustments, time, and exercises. After seeing him for just a month 3x a week, I started getting feeling back into my hand and arm! That pain I was experiencing was almost all gone and I could sleep, drive, and move around 100x better than before. Now that Ive been seeing Dr. Roth going on 5 months, I would say my neck is 95% better. The pain and numbness in my hand and arm have never returned and I dont expect it to. I know that as I continue seeing him I will see 100% improvement! Not only is my neck better but I also learned a lot about the importance of taking care of your body, especially your spine. Its connected to everything and have a huge effect on how your body functions. Dr. Roth has also worked on adjusting my hips and shoulder which I didnt even realize were a problem until I felt the difference after adjustments! I am so glad that I didnt listen to the other doctor and that I was recommended to Dr. Roth. Coming to him has definitely changed my life because I know if I had gone through with surgery I wouldve had negative effects forever. Dr. Roth is an excellent, trust worthy doctor & person that I would recommend to anyone without hesitation. I am forever grateful for his help!

I have always been an advocate of chiropractic care and when I experienced a case of whiplash in September, 2010, I immediately went to the chiropractor I had been seeing for several years to help sort out the tight, uncomfortable muscles and the limited range of motion in my left arm. In May, 2011, a friend told me about Dr. Justin Roth and how he had basically “cured” her of her chronic and very debilitating migraines. She recommended that I contact him to see if he could help with my neck/shoulder/arm issues. I didn’t hesitate. I phoned the office and was immediately scheduled for the “Roth Series” of x-rays of my cervical spine. These x-rays were different from the traditional cervical spine x-rays that were administered initially, so I knew that this approach would help to identify the “cause”. Dr. Roth immediately identified the problem. My C1 & C2 (Atlas & Axis) cervical discs were out of alignment causing disruption in the normal neurological process. FINALLY, an answer, this made sense. Dr. Roth was extremely empathic to my process and explained in detail the mechanics of the cervical spine. He helped me to understand how everything is connected and the importance of the positioning of the Atlas and the Axis and their role in the “everyday functioning” of the body. I intuitively knew that my body was in a traumatized state, but was at a loss as to how I could help it to resume its natural balance. The nerve pain that I was experiencing for 8 months was gone after 1 adjustment with Dr. Roth. It was “magic.” I continued to see him 3 times a week to monitor my adjustments and then to 2 times a week and then to once a week to monitor how my adjustments are “holding”. I continue to progress in my healing. Due to the extended period of time that my Atlas & Axis were out of alignment, (due to improper diagnosis) nerve disruption and muscle atrophy occurred causing me to continue to struggle with “everyday movement in both my shoulders. Dr. Roth has referred me to an exercise physiologist who is helping to strengthen my muscles in my shoulders and arms and every day a little progress is made. I am on the path to regaining my very active lifestyle. This entire experience has been very humbling; it has taught me many things. I have also learned that traditional medical practitioners, although well intended, may not have all the answers. I still struggle to “blow dry” my hair, however, I am sleeping through the night, I no longer have to rely on pain medication to get me through the day, and I know that soon, I will be swinging a golf club, practicing yoga, and focusing on life, not pain. Dr. (Magic) Roth has been a blessing and I will forever be grateful! Barbara G

I was referred to Dr. Roth, a Cervical Specialist Chiropractor after a riding accident in February 2010. I had a mild concussion and had injured my neck pretty severely. I had been going to my regular chiropractor for five weeks after the accident and I was not getting any better. Luckily my chiropractor realized it must be my cervical spine and she referred me to Dr. Roth. Before treating me, Dr. Roth ordered x-rays of my neck that showed my C-1 vertebrae, also known as the Atlas vertebrae was shifted out of alignment. It was sitting at an angle of 31 degrees, where it should have been 8-10 degrees. This had been causing severe migraine headaches that were keeping me out of work for four days at a time, severe neck pain, and an inability to sleep due to the discomfort. I was miserable and getting pretty depressed from dealing with all the pain. Once Dr. Roth was able to review the x-rays and nerve scans he was able to do an adjustment. That very evening I was able to finally move my neck without pain and I slept like a baby. I have been in treatment with Dr. Roth for over a month now and I have barely had any headaches. I have not missed a day of work and I have been sleeping almost the entire night consistently. Before coming to see Dr. Roth I was unaware of the specialty of cervical adjustments and how important it is for certain injuries. I had been under the care of my other chiropractor for over ten years and had never heard of a cervical chiropractor. Had I not been referred to Dr. Roth I would have lost countless days at work, been in constant pain and be spending money on treatments that wouldn’t have helped me. Since being in the care of Dr. Roth I have done research on all the different diseases that can be caused from having your cervical vertebrae out of alignment. It has been an eye-opening experience for sure. I am most impressed with how fibromyalgia and MS can be treated through non-invasive chiropractic care instead of toxic prescription drugs and unnecessary surgeries. I wish more people would realize that so many health problems we have can be healed through chiropractic care and lifestyle changes. I look forward to continuing my treatments with Dr. Roth knowing that I am now on the road to recovery and can see a light at the end of the tunnel. My mood has completely changed since my neck has been getting better and my body has been able to start healing itself. - Diana S.
