Jim had partial use of his left arm only. He could not move his fingers. He could not move his right arm at all. He had some difficulty breathing. He had a pressure sensation all over his body. Above the injury he could feel normally but below the injury level he only had pressure sensation. He had no bowel or bladder control.


AFTER THE TREATMENT:

Dec 31st: Middle

Jan 11th: Moving Arm

Feb 8th: After1, After2, After3, After4, After5, After6, After7


The muscles in his chest strengthened so he could breathe more easily. Touch sensation moved four or five inches down his chest and eight inches down his back. His left arm’s triceps got stronger and he started to be able to move his wrist. His right arm got strength in his bicep and trapezius muscle allowing him to move his arm. He felt the improvements over the two months of treatment were more than he had in the last twelve years.
