HIS NECK HASN'T MOVED IN 20 YEARS 😱 HE NEEDS A CHIROPRACTOR!! 

Let me know in the comments what you thought! Would you like to see CRAIG return??

Poor man, I would love too see a series with his progress. You are the best and you truly care about your clients both human and animal. You could see Craig's face relax and release when the session was over. Beautiful sight.

This happened to me. I was in a crash with a truck, that in the end, left me unable to turn my neck to one side for about 17 years. Always had to turn almost my whole body to see that direction. Lived with it, thought nothing more about it. One day, visiting my chiropractor for another unrelated issue, he wanted to check my neck to see if there may be something there. Strictly a just in case look. As he moved, turned, and manipulated my neck, he let out a sudden whoa, there's something here.... He then just casually moved and turned my head, and then without warning... CRACK!!!!! The crack was so loud adjusting my neck, I know they heard it in the waiting room LOL! He asked how's that? And for the first time, after 17 years, I could turn my head to that side!! God bless the great work you Chiros do!!

I'm a massage therapist and I know how much strength you out into this one. As soon as you did those two adjustments on his neck where you really heard it bang, the change in his eyes was immediate. His whole face softened. I saw that your neuromuscular massage along the cervicals really brought movement and softening to those tissues. I'm glad he found you!

Iv never wanted someone to have so much healing. He seems like a man who don’t like to complain and for 20 years has just got on with it. Incredible work you have done ,the relief and the happiness in his face when he could bring his arms up more.

Craig seems like a super nice person. Please share with us his weekly visits so we can watch his progress. He may not ever be perfect, but I have full faith you can help him get much better.

Craig seems like such humble and kind man. Its awesome to see you help relieve some pain and tension for him and how gentle you are also while adjusting him. ❤

Awe Poor Craig, he seemed to be in so much discomfort and when he barely moved his arms up at first and the end of the session he moved them higher and straighter he seemed happier. What a guy, please update his progress

Yes, I'd like to see Craig come back for as many adjustments it may take to straighten out his neck. He deserves to begin living without calcifications and kyphosis limiting his quality of life. It was very sad to hear him say he felt fine while his neck couldn't rest naturally on your table. I'm so thankful he found you. Looking forward to watching you assist him in the healing process.

It’s cool to see people get some relief after enduring pain/discomfort/impaired mobility - especially after so long. Hopefully this guy will make a lot more progress going forward but it seems like he made a lot of progress just on this first visit. 👍🏻

That smile that came on his face 14:00 😊😊 Instant relief. I love to see happy patients/clients.

I'm really rooting for Craig, what a stoic and humble guy. I'm really hoping to see the rest of his journey on here. Thank you for all your work helping those who really need it! It would be amazing if you could link his sessions somehow so we can find them on here.

He probably needs to come in weekly for 6 months to a year to get all the frozen muscles to release so he can get some curve back into his neck. The poor man. What about heat and stim, would that help him? My neck hurt just seeing Craig’s condition!😢

Yes - let’s have a series of Craig getting better - please!

Poor guy appeared defeated in life. You could see his hope rise with each adjustment. Great stuff doc!

Poor man! Feel better Craig! Doug you're such a healer! You can see in his eyes he could see a sense of relief!

I feel for Craig. I remember falling down our stairs the day I turned 40, because of toys on the stairs I did not see. My hands were number for months, among other issues. I felt so vulnerable. Eventually I started running again and doing pushups, pullups, etc. Luckily getting my blood flowing again seemed to help, but for several months I thought life was going to be awful.

Oh, poor, poor man! I can't imagine what he has been living with! What a sweet soul he has! You are so thorough with your work on him! He was able to raise his arms a little higher right away! So happy for him! I know he will feel less pain the more he comes. I can't wait to see the rest of his videos!

That is a very high level of care, Dr. Willen. I had something similar but definitely not 20 years. I was skeptical of chiropractic (my wife is an MRI tech and she and her nurse mother love chiropractic) - but after about the 4th treatment I had wonderful and total relief. Keep doing what you're doing.

Hi Craig, and Dr. Doug. Craig I want to tell you I'm 63 years old and was a blue collar worker for 50 years. Automobile mechanic, then aircraft mechanic for 32 years. Over those years I've had times when through my work my back would occasionally get so messed up, that getting out of bed to go to my chiropractor's office was very difficult. Once I pulled into his parking lot in my car and I thought I would have to crawl into his office. Then later I'd always walk out with no pain. From my young years of being active, playing sports and working on cars, when I took my job as an aircraft mechanic with Delta Airlines at the age of 28, one time my back was bothering me, and I'd just moved to Atlanta from Chicago, I went to a new chiropractor and he X-Rayed my spine. He told me I had three disk in lower back that were badly worn. He showed me on the x-ray. He told me to walk and to swim and that that would keep my core muscles supporting my spine. I do that still and have had few problems with my back over the years. I also see my chiropractor 3-4 times per year. I related to your pain Craig, because I have arthritis in my neck, and my Doc adjusts my neck when I go to him. I don't think I could function normally if not for that. You'll be surprised Craig ------ I'm retired now, and take regular trips on my motorcycle. As long as do some walking, and get a neck adjustment a few times a year I feel good and enjoy life. Craig I felt the pain that i saw you having in this video. Keep going to Dr. Willen , brother. I want to see you function better than you are now. BTW , my last motorcycle trip was 7835 miles, and I camped most of it. If an old fart like me can do that, then you can too. Best of luck.....

He seems like a person who doesn't like admitting how much pain he's in. Bless him

Can’t wait to see Craig’s progress! Hope to see him again!

It looks like his whole body needs thorough care because it has been compensating for the upper muscles... When he lied down and said he felt comfortable with his head just hovering over the headrest, I got tears in my eyes! I hope he gets better!

I can definitely see a difference from the beginning to the end. His head wasn't lurched forward nearly as much. You have true healing hands

Yes please...more Craig. Love these intense cases, Doc this is when you shine.

I would love to see the next sessions with this man. I hope he gets better

So wonderful seeing gradual results. Hope you film his progress! Praying this sweet man finds relief as you work.

I’m from the Czech Republic and I love your videos. Before I get to sleep, I watch them over and over again, it makes me relaxing feeling even being thousands of miles distance. I appreciate your work so much.

This will be a great series bc it’s shows progression on what stretching, massaging, and chiropractic therapy can do for someone. I hope he feels a bit of relief. You can tell it was the good kind of pain.

As a newly practicing chiro I would love to see how you handle his care moving forward. Thanks for all you share. This channel has taught me a ton!

As someone who has cerebral palsy, I can definitely understand the relief felt after an adjustment. It's been way too long since my last adjustment. I have a supraspinatus injury (possible tear) so I can't start treatment until I can get a game plan to heal my shoulder issue. I had 2 unsuccessful attempts at Physical therapy.

YES!! Make Craig a star! We will be watching with bated breath. Love to go on the journey to better health. I could see the relief on Craigs face. No where to go but up!😊😊👍

I’m invested in his progress ❤ can’t wait to see more

Craig is so chill for the amount of pain he is in 😫 I hope he comes back

He was a lot more relaxed at the session went on and loads more movement towards the end ❤ I would love to see a progress update on him

Definitely would love to see this man’s journey and hope he gets better!

Bless him, seems like a gentle soul. Hope he feels better soon.

Yes, please follow up with Craig, I would love to see his progress. Oh wow, I really feel for this poor bloke. His neck looks so rigid and stiff. It must have felt like concrete to work on. Those cracks sounded so deep and satisfying to hear as the viewer. Did it hurt your hands and thumbs to work on such hard muscles, Dr Doug? Love your work!

I never thought I would see someone that made me feel positive about the condition of my neck. I wish this man the best of luck and recovery.

I would love to see this man’s progress. Hopefully his neck becomes more and more mobile with future adjustments. I could tell with just that first adjustment that he was feeling better and looser 🙏

I really need to see his updates, I'm completely invested with his progress. Wishing the absolute best for him

There was def a noticeable change in his movement, look and eye brightness! Really hope he keeps coming, so sad to see how long he’s suffered. Xo

I appreciate how u are honest and straightforward with the facts. He's been stuck for very long time so full recovery and mobility might not be possible right now but some improvements can still be made. Correct me if I say something wrong Doc .

A good chiropractor is worth his or her weight in gold. It's so satisfying to watch the life-changing improvements they can make to their patients' lives happing in real time.

Hi! He didn't just need a chiropractor, he needed you! I almost felt the relief for him while watching this. I would really like to see him continue to improve with your treatments. I hope he comes back for more.

Man i have been struggling with cervicogenic headaches and stiff neck,shoulders and trap muscles for 5 years now i know the pain and how this impacts your whole life for the worst I really hope Craig recovers from this and im sure hes in good hands,imma keep him in my prayers🙏🙏🙏

You are a compassionate,knowledgeable Chiropractor!I pray for you as you help others and pray foe all that have pain!I understand 🙏🙏🙏

😳 wow i had my tense face on the whole video! You can see everything all over Craig's face. We have seen lots of frozen shoulders but I think this is the 1st neck. 20yrs that's crazy. I hope he comes on a regular basis. When he said he was fine with his head hovering i almost fell over. Man, i can't wait til he comes back. We are here for that journey!!! Have a good weekend 😊

A friend was somewhat in his condition. Went to a Chiropractor, physical therapy, given muscle relaxers. After about six months he was good to go again. Good luck to this man.

I would love to know if you seen this awesome man again, and how he is feeling/ doing? One bright side to it all is that he is not in excruciating pain, and that it is frozen. So many don't get that lucky, to where the pain is unbearable all day every day and completely changes them and their life when having such horrible pains with neck problems. Even if it only helps to remove tension and makes it easier for him to lift his arms that's a major win for him, and will still make him feel a lot better and not so locked up. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

They way his range of motion immediately improved❤ so happy that he is getting some help

Dr. Doug you really worked on him well. I can see there is more work but you gave him some real relief. Great job. Thank you for caring so much about people.

Please help him and bring him back. Would love to see how far he can go ❤

I love the cracing sound😂

New subscriber here! I am glad I found this channel. We definately must see Craig's progress! Craig we are rooting for you! Can't wait to see your great progress.

Wow, wow, wow ! Such a doctor with golden hands. Craig will definitely come, you have a patient for life. Thanks, Doc !

Oh, I REALLY hope he returns! Dr. Doug can fix this guy's issue. I've seen em fix stuff this big. He can fix this. He's gotta come back🤞🏼❤️😊

God bless him. He’s been putting up with the pain and stiffness so long it’s his normal. I know you can make a difference in his quality of life.

Inspiring.. as a young man with "the skeleton of a 65 year old" dealing with chronic pain for already half my life. Every sort of treatment from superficial to eastern medicine to massage, chiropractor, diet change etc. I have never found the relief that comes from proper chiropractic care. Keep it up ❤

it always makes me sad when patients say something hurts, because they haven't ever been to a chiropractor and don't understand that "pain" is the best thing for them and they are going to feel so much better after even just one visit! Dr. Doug knows what he's doing and would never adjust anyone in a manner that would cause them more pain than what they came in with

Can't wait to see him improve! Poor guy! Thank goodness he came to the right place, Doc! Sending warm positive thoughts his way! ~ Robin

After the first adjustment, you can see a huge, positive difference

This is so random seeing Craig in a video after searching videos about lower back pain. He is my coworker! Lol

He looks waaaaay more relaxed and opened up - nice work! Bring him back 😊

I loved watching you work all his muscles and then getting his neck to adjust. It would be fascinating to see you work on him some more and straighten his neck. I feel you will do it Dr.

I like that it’s so clear you’re being careful and really care about his well being.

Amazing work.Anyone who's had to go to the Chiropractor knows there's really good ones out there.This Dr. Knows his stuff and i would go to him in a second after watching this.

This was amazing! I could tell he felt better at the end of the session. Would love to see Craig come back to you for more relief! 😊

Yes, I would definitely like to see Craig return and see his progress. My neck has similar issues so it hits close to home.

BRING CRAIG BACK!!!! Honestly while watching, I feel the need to move my neck and body constantly because his posture is making me feel extremely uncomfortable. How about y'all?..

Blessings to you Dr Doug for giving Craig a well needed adjustment

I can’t even imagine what it is like living like that . I can see he got a little relief from just this one session . Good job Doc ❤️🥂

Well that was certainly a workout doc, I would love to see him back and see the progress you guys made

I can understand how this man feel. First time cracking my neck after fracturing it, it felt like heaven. 🙏🙏🙏

Hey Doc, it would be great to see how this man progressed with continued chiropractic treatments. It looked like you did him some good on the first visit. Ya Rock, Doc!

I can’t wait to see his next visit. I am glad he found you and you were not afraid to help him!

Wishing Craig the best! Thank you for helping him. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I had a mountain biking crash wheen i was 10 or 11 that led to serious issues( chronic migraines, immobility in my neck, spine issues,). Just last summer, at work, i dislocated some ribs while moving concrete bags at work. I was only immobile for 3 days, but the release was insane. I can only imagine what this man went through

It’s amazing seeing him loosen up through even just this first visits process.

Would love to see these follow up appointments on his road to health, god bless him best of luck 🍀 from Ireland 🇮🇪

It must be quite the feeling to have someone like Craig put their trust in you💕

Bro was locked in

Great work Doc! You can see the life starting to come back to him around 1/2 through the video. By the end he was much more vibrant :)

I like Craig a lot. And I consider myself a good judge of character. He will be in my prayers. And thanks Doctor for helping him so much. You’re awesome too!

I also want to see Craig's progress, outstanding work so far for him, the best is yet to come.

Dr Doug Willen is very talented and the patient in the video presented with a very acute problem - Wow ! The difference so far is phenomenal.

I love the fact that you only did the required work on the poor guy, other chiropractors would went in and pushed and yanked if they could. I can’t imagine what permanent damage they would of did, all in the name of money. I hope Craig gets the relief he’s looking for and I really wish that his visits are free, they should always be free in cases like Craig 🌻

Really hoping this man can get more relief in the future! 🙏

I’m looking forward to seeing Craig again very soon because I am completely confident that you will help him, he is such a cool person who obviously suffers, but he doesn’t complain 😊

Im just going to assume due to the lack of updates, thatthe client didnt feel there way any improvement and didnt not continue treatment

You have to always be aware of your posture especially as we get older. Never ignore it.

Great result Doc. I have similar problems and I understood watching this video that I should not wait 20 more years. Hope he will get better with few sessions

Dr. Doug, I regularly follow your Animal Cracker channel but the thumbnail for this video really interested me. I love watching your “flow” as you work - each adjustment smoothly transitions into the next stage as you move your animal or human patient through the treatment. It was very clear that this man got some improvement from seeing you just once and I look forward to seeing his progress in future videos.

My father is dealing with something like this while dealing with tongue cancer. I give him massages and he does have a good range of motion side to side in his neck but not much going. His head goes forward just like Craig's does. I'm not sure if rehab will be able to take care of those issues or if a chiropractor is a better idea but he loves the massages and I do see improvement in his neck as a result. I know once he gets strength back and can build his body and muscle back up that things will be different, but seeing their similarities, it makes me wonder if a chiropractor is the way to go or if rehab, massages, and instructional videos to restore his neck posture will be enough over time.

Invested in seeing his journey. Hope he gets better with the sessions. ❤. Thank you for helping him.

Yep exactly what Dr. Doug said at the end, have to "chip away at this". Those mini y-strap adjustments are a good idea. Slow steady progress for the win. It reminds me a bit when dealing with senior patients on your Animal Cracker Channel, you can only do so much per session. Autonomic nervous system reintegration of information? from chiro adjustments can surely take a while before significant progress is seen. 20 years is a long time to go without getting the treatment he surely wanted & needed; at least he tried to get proper treatment a few times, in the distant past, before seeing Dr. Doug. We are all cheering for Craig to get more relief and have a better quality of life! Thnx Dr. Doug for sharing this video with us

Yes, more Craig!! I’m looking forward to his progress and healing ❤️‍🩹

Not only would I like to see Craig return, he MUST return. Hope you can get the man able to move his whole head.

Loved the smile at the end. He was happy. If the patient reads this. Thank you sir. You give us strength to come in for help too 🙏

Wow this poor man was so stiff! Happy to see that he came to you! I know your magic hands can help him! In fact you could see his arms did go upwards a little! Yes! I would like to see Craig gain!
