Joanne: Forty Years of Sciatica, Gone in Three Treatments
Joanne Hilliard suffered from sciatica pain for forty years.
It started forty years ago when she fell headfirst down her basement stairs. The fall messed up her whole spine.
She was treated by chiropractors for many years. They would help temporarily, but the pain would always come back. She was on different medications for the pain. Nothing lasted.
"All I could do was just basically lay down," Joanne said.
The Turning Point
A friend thought she could help. Joanne did not believe it at first. But she is an adventurous person, willing to try anything.
So she went.
"The first time she gave me a treatment, I was really surprised, because I thought it would be painful," Joanne said. "But it wasn't."
The Treatment
After the very first treatment, she felt quite a bit of relief.
After the third time, she really felt she did not need it anymore.
"I felt great," Joanne said.
Dr. Na also gave her Body Clean.
"Not only did it help my sciatica and my back, but I really believe it helped my whole body," Joanne said. "Not only with her treatment, but with the body cleansing that she provided me with. I took that and consequently, I felt so much better."
The Outcome
Joanne would highly recommend Dr. Na to anyone.
What Joanne's Story Shows
Joanne fell down a flight of stairs and injured her entire spine. She suffered from sciatica for forty years. She saw chiropractors for decades. She took medications for the pain. Nothing worked for long. All she could do was lie down.
Then a friend gave her a treatment. After one session, she felt real relief. After three, she felt she did not need any more.
And along the way, the Body Clean helped her whole body—not just her back.
This is not a one-time result. This is the same protocol Dr. Na uses for patients with chronic pain, injuries, and spinal conditions. Because the treatment follows a pattern, it can be taught. Because it can be taught, it can be passed on.
This is the system Dr. Na built. This is what she offers.
And it began with a patient who had suffered for forty years—and who finally found relief.
