Page 1 Theresa L. " I was really skeptical..."I have had chronic headaches and TMJ for most of my life. I was kicked in the jaw by a horse when I was a little girl and was never the same after that. On top of that, I had my low back fused due to slipped disks. I have been to many doctors and chiropractors in my day and it seems like everything works for a little while and than goes right back to how it was. I was referred to Dr. Tremayne by a friend and at this point was just thinking I was going to yet another chiropractor... I was so wrong. He does a technique I had never heard of called Upper Cervical Specific. I scheduled an appointment because I was on the third day of a migraine headache. I just couldn't take it anymore. He did one adjustment and then had me rest for 20 minutes. When I got up I was a bit "out of it", but was assured I would be feeling much better by tomorrow. It didn't even take till tomorrow. By the time I got home, it was gone. I'm used to getting migraines about once a week and at this point after being under care for about four months, I haven't gotten another one. The part that I was most skeptical about was how by only adjusting my neck, he could help my back pain. Not really sure how it all works, but my back pain has decreased about 90%. I can now sit at my desk for longer periods of time and drive without my legs going numb from the pain.I really wanted to share my story to the people who feel like there is no hope. Because there is! His name is Dr. Ian Davis-Tremayne. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
Page 2 Anonymous "An injury had left me unable to work and move my arms..."Dr. Tremayne was recommended to me by a friend after an injury had left me unable to work and move my arms. My previous diagnosis was an upper epidural and needles injected into my nerve roots -total Dr. House. I'm a yogi, athlete and in really good health.I thought I was done for and then came Dr. Tremayne! His style and knowledge has me better so fast that the only regret I have is not going to see him sooner. The other docs are like: what?! You were screwed, how did he do this? I don't need any crazy procedure or surgery. I am not only on the road but I'm on a new road where I'll come out honestly a new and improved version of myself, for life. This doc seriously rocks and also takes the time to talk to any other practitioner you have, like my PT who is also impressed as hell. Finally, someone who walks the walk. Fantastic. If you know you need neck or back help don't waste another second in pain or in the dark.
Page 3 Lillon B. "Dr. Tremayne has saved my neck, and my DIGESTION! "I have had chronic neck and back pain, and poor alignment for over 10 years now, but never considered the possibility that my digestion could be effected by my spinal alignment." I have a bad habit of not going to the doctor, even when I need to, so it took my old friend Ian Davis-Tremayne and I reconnecting on Facebook to get me interested in taking care of my physical issues. He spoke of his profession with deep love and excitement. This love for getting people well is what inspired me to look into a visit with him, and I am forever grateful that I did. During my first visit, Ian asked me a number of questions, some of which I would have never known related to upper cervical specific chiropractic. I told him I had terrible digestion issues, and slightly high blood pressure (which is really bizarre because I'm young, I eat really well, exercise, and I am not overly stressed). I also mentioned I experience chronic neck and back pain. He asked if I had ever had any physical trauma such as a car accident, and I informed him that I was a passenger in an awful car accident at the age of 15. I also had surgery at the age of 18 or 19 to remove a tumor from my neck, so there was some built up scar tissue. Because of this, I had some x-rays taken on that first day. On my second visit, we reviewed my x-rays and discussed my care plan. While reviewing my x-rays, Dr. Tremayne showed me that I had a bone chip on one of my vertebrae from the car accident I was in at 15 years old. I never knew about the chip/fracture. Because of this I was over compensating with other parts of my neck to keep my head on straight and to avoid discomfort. I was growing extra bone in all the wrong places, and my spine was TOTALLY off center to boot! This meant my brainstem was not flowing properly, potentially effecting my digestion/blood pressure. In order to get my issues corrected, I have been going in to see Dr. Tremayne for about a year now. My posture has DRAMATICALLY improved. I no longer experience chronic pain.I have new tools and exercises to take care of my body.No joke, my blood pressure is back to normal!! (I was pre-hypertension)AND, for real, y'all, my digestion is normal! (Possibly my favorite benefit of Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic!) Dr. Tremayne is gentle, compassionate, and highly skilled in what he does. Unlike other chiropractors, he only adjusts me when he sees I need to be adjusted. I truly appreciate that there is a chiropractor in Marin who is as spiritual and comforting as he is professional and qualified. I highly recommend Dr. Tremayne..
Blank Ella C. "In just 2 adjustments Ella started to improve drastically."At about 7 weeks old, I noticed that my daughter Ella was holding her head to one side in a drastic manner. In every picture her head would be tilted to the side. She also could not latch on to nurse very well on one side. She would get really fussy and she just seemed like she was in pain and favoring her neck in a certain way. It was very scary and broke my heart! I had been to see a chiropractor and cranial sacral therapist in the area and she referred me to Dr. T. She said that because Ella's problem was in the upper cervical area and that Dr. T was amazing with children, that it would be a good idea to see him. I am so glad I did!At first I was nervous to have my little baby's neck adjusted. But Dr. T assured me that it is a really gentle adjustment and that because baby's necks have a lot of cartilage, they heal quickly. He made the adjustment (at a house call!! Awesome!) and she didn't even react, just turned over and smiled. He was so sweet and so gentle, you could tell that he loved children. In just 2 adjustments Ella started to improve drastically. He gave me some stretching exercises to do with her as well. Her head started to straighten out, she latched on well and was an extremely happy baby. No more fussing for no reason and tons of smiles! My husband and I are so thankful for Dr. T's help, she became a different child! Thank you Dr. T!
Blank01 Dustin L. "I had developed a movement disorder..."I am so grateful to have found UCHC and Dr. Ian. Wow, what a difference it has made in my life, my happiness, my health, and my recovery. I thought that I was done.....I had developed a movement disorder that had greatly affected my life. My neck and skull popped, cracked, and moved without me choosing to do so. I had physically lost control and it had affected every bit of my life. I had honestly almost given up and was resigned to existing in a completely compromised form of myself. When I went in to visit Dr. Ian, not only did I find someone who I quickly believed could help me, but would do it with care. In the last 2 months I have regained stability of my neck and head, had the symptoms of my disorder reduced on a massive scale, and my life is just so much better. I can't recommend this treatment enough and I couldn't imagine a better place than UCHC to receive it. As a result of Dr. Ian, I've regained a happiness and comfort in my own body that I thought was lost forever. Thank you!
Blank02 Anne Briggs "I told myself the pain would probably just go away..."In the season of being GRATEFUL, I write this recommendation in hopes I can pass along an opportunity to YOU to change your life. I met Dr. Ian Davis-Tremayne seeking relief after a simple change in my pillow triggered a very painful neck strain. I told myself for about 2 weeks that the pain would probably just go away, probably just slept on it funny, but almost in tears as the pain started to radiate down my shoulder I knew it was time for some help. My head felt like it needed to be pulled completely off and then re-attached. Being a lot skeptical having never been to any sort of chiropractor but in pain I put my faith in Dr. Tremayne and the process. Unbelievably, after one adjustment the constant pain was completely eliminated. I still had some pain while turning my head but found that the renewed ability to look over my shoulder while driving without exclaiming, ugh, with the strain made me realize that it had been years of limited mobility in my neck that I had been enduring. I sit at a computer in my job for many hours a day and I also had the bad habit of sleeping on my stomach which to find out over my 41 years had taken its toll. If it takes an injury to seek Dr. Tremaynes help consider yourself lucky but to those that may be reading this just to improve ones over all health let me also explain the other effects my adjustments have had. In the short 2 months I have felt more at ease and more in balance with a renewed ability to cope in my busy life. I work fulltime and have a 4 year old son and am more present in my daily interactions. I was one to exercise, used to do fun-runs and use an elliptical but in the last year just found it too much at the end of the day to make the effort. I now have more energy at the end of the day and find myself heading out the door without all the self-talk trying to get myself up and out. I have also been waking-up much earlier and with a better frame of mind to head into my day. I have also taken on a commitment to eating better with my new found energy and drive which feels effortless and has had its own great results. So, before I sound like too much to be true, please, just give yourself the opportunity to change your life and take the first little step of consulting Dr. Tremayne and see what happens!I am so GRATEFUL!
Blank03 Dan B " I tried many other regular Chiropractors..."I have been going to see Dr. Ian for a few months. I tried many other regular chiropractors and always found them to be good and help relieve stress. However, Dr. Ian and his staff look only at the top two vertebrae and at first I thought is sounded like it was something that had no chance of doing anything for me. I was totally wrong. His adjustments do way more for me. I feel better, sleep better, and am more focused than ever before.So I recommended my wife go see him (who had a chronic condition of poor sleep). She had gone to see other chiropractors too and thought they were all a waste of money. I dragged her there and after her first adjustment, she said that she had the best night's sleep "since her childhood". Now she is hooked too. I recommend everyone I can to go see him or his other doctors every chance I get.
Blank04 Akala L. "He isn't your typical neck and back pain chiropractor..."Dr. Ian ROCKS! He isn't your typical neck and back pain chiropractor. He is all about the TRUE philosophy of chiropractic which means you heal from "above down, inside out." He allows your innate intelligence to express full light which allows you to function at your fullest potential. I know he has changed my life and know that if you have a spine, he can change yours too! If you want the most real, down to earth, knowledgeable, and of course RAD chiropractor, look no further!!!!
Blank05 Katherine Zdan "The care he provides is total and comprehensive, and the results are amazing."As an actor and a physical performance artist, my body is my canvas, my tool, and my primary means for expression. It is also my living. While in graduate school I had a fall during class that (while magnificent and hilarious) left me with moderate to severe back pain for three years. Within a few months of the injury I was under the care of a chiropractor whose care was impersonal, exorbitantly expensive, and that led to no pain relief. I would walk into his office with pain, and 10 minutes later I would walk out with pain but with a large chunk of my checking account gone. I gave up on chiropractic care and figured I would just have to tough it out myself.A couple of years later I was performing in a show and again fell and aggravated the injury. This was in the middle of a 6 week run of 5 shows a week. I had no understudy, and I needed to continue to be able to perform. I knew I needed help, but was unsure of where to turn to. But after my first appointment with Dr. Tremayne I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Tremayne is an extremely talented body worker, and is passionate about healing. And perhaps most importantly, he wants you to understand what is happening in your body and how he is working with you to help your body heal itself. The care he provides is total and comprehensive, and the results are amazing. Since seeing Ian the pain in my lower back has ceased and I have the tools to help keep myself from re-injury and to continue to heal. In a culture where health care is primarily based on the treatment of symptoms, Ian's approach to healing the body is revelatory and a welcome relief!
Blank06 Tami Y."My overall health has improved vastly..."I was a mess when I first saw Dr. Ian. My right knee was bugging me and the right side of my back was tweaked from work stress. I also had a strange ringing in my left ear. After 2 months of therapy I'm feeling waaaay better and my overall health has improved vastly. I am also sleeping better and have less anxiety.Dr. Ian is a badass chiro! Consider yourselves lucky if you live/work near his office. He's the best out there.
