After the birth of my second child, I experienced an immense amount of pain from a bulging disc between my shoulder blades that my primary physician and even emergency room medical care was unable to help. I came to Dr. Regan days after my son was born with such intense pain that I could barely stand to be upright for longer than seconds at a time. Upon sitting up, the pain would immediately radiate up to my head as well as down my back. It was unbearable. To endure it, I needed to lay flat on my back and my husband would bring me a 12" by 12" ice bag for me to lie on every hour. I was in such pain!
I was desperate for help as I did not know how I would be able to care for my newborn son. Being my second child, I knew all too well how demanding the days and months ahead would be as a nursing mother. My Uncle referred me to Dr. Regan because he had gotten such great results for a slipped disc in his low back that was resolved under Dr. Regan's care. I came to Dr. Regan having prior experience with Chiropractic, knowing it was my only hope. I felt some relief after the first visit, and after daily visits for a few days felt much better, and after a week of alternating day visits I was back to normal. This was an absolute blessing that enabled me to nurse and hold my newborn son, upright, without the concerns of endangering his health with my needing to ingest heavy pain killers (the ONLY solution modern medicine was able to offer me - and this after a trip to the emergency room and an MRI that revealed the bulging disc).
I will always be grateful for the amazing results Dr. Regan's Chiropractic care is able to produce, as well as his excellent advice for nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle that support a healthy spine. THANK YOU Dr. Regan! I brought my husband, my mother, my uncle and my friends to share in his care, in addition to both of my children.
I especially appreciate his gentle care of my children. I bring them in after each big spill they take (as all children do). I also like to bring them when we return from one of our frequent trips to Big Bear - believing that they benefit from an adjustment after a weekend of hard play, hiking and climbing up boulders - not to mention the long car ride. They love coming to see Dr. Regan. They actually argue on the drive over trying to negotiate who is going to be treated by him first.
I am comforted to know that they may never experience the problems I have had with my spine as an adult, since they are being treated early - before problems develop. They are beautifully healthy and vibrant children and I am certain Dr. Regan's Chiropractic care and expert advice have strengthened their spines and their immune systems. I would and do recommend Dr. Regan to anyone that is considering Chiropractic care. He is exceptional in his field.
Thank you again Dr. Regan!

Kurtis is a 7 year old boy diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD. Kurtis was diagnosed with ADHD by his pediatrician and was scheduled to begin Ritalin therapy to control his symptoms. His mother seeking a second opinion, brought Kurtis to our office in hopes of an alternative treatment. ADHD is characterized by hyperactivity, inability to concentrate, difficulty at focusing on one matter at a time, easy agitation, and overly introverted or overly extroverted personality.
After a thorough Chiropractic evaluation, a restriction of a part of Kurtis's neck was noted indicating that there may be pressure on the brain stem. This pressure may have been present since birth, due to the birthing process itself. Because of this brain stem pressure, Kurtis would not be consciously aware of the neck pain, yet he would be easily agitated and have an inability to focus. After the first visit, Kurtis's mom noticed a difference in his behavior. After a few weeks of care, Kurtis won an award for being a well-behaved student and currently gets a Chiropractic check-up on a bi-monthly basis.
To date, Kurtis has won 2 student of the month awards!
Alexandra came to see Dr. Jung after a severe car accident. She was in tremendous pain and had daily headaches since the crash. She could not perform simple activities and her goal was to get back her health so she could play badminton again as she was an avid player and a member of the UCI team.
We took the standard series of x-rays as well as 3 dimensional x-rays for a detailed analysis of her upper cervical area.
At the start of care she had a -5 degree curve in her neck which is equivalent to 111% loss of the normal cervical curve. She also had 30mm of forward head posture, which puts a tremendous strain on the spinal joints causing degeneration and also puts pressure on your nervous system, not allowing your body to function properly. After a series of specific, corrective adjustments we restored the normal curve that should be present in every human being. She went from -5 degrees to 29 degrees. We also corrected her forward head posture from 30mm to 9mm in only 3 months.
Alexandra was able to get back to playing badminton at a competitive level and keeps her spine adjusted for good health.
Taylor was found to have a curve of his spine at only 14 months old. The medical protocol is a wait and see if the scoliosis progresses and then take action. Taylor's curve progressed to 30 degrees and a brace was prescribed. Going through HMO hell, Taylor's parents dealt with 7 different doctors, all with various opinions. These opinions ranged from immediate surgery, which includes the implant of steel rods, to bracing worn 23 hours a day, all in hopes of straightening the spine. Taylor's parents searched to find a different alternative, and that's what they found in chiropractic.
We used 3-dimensional x-rays for a detailed analysis of Taylor's upper cervical area as well as stress x-rays of his scoliosis.
At the start of care Taylor had scoliotic curves: cervical 10 degrees, thoracic 30 degrees, and lumbar 15 degrees
After 17 treatments over 12 weeks, Taylor's cervical curve decreased to 3 degrees, the thoracic curve decreased to 14 degrees, and his lumbar curve decreased to 11 degrees.
Taylor is now out of his brace and has a good chance of a full recovery!
Yuki complained about daily headaches for 1 month. He tried every drug he could get his hands on and nothing seemed to work, so his boss referred him to Dr. Jung. After 3 adjustments Yuki's headaches were gone, but Yuki wanted more than relief...he wanted correction. So decided to take control of his health and went through the corrective care program to restore his nervous system.
When Yuki first came in he had a 12 degree cervical curve which is equivalent to a 73% loss of the normal cervical curve. He also had 33mm of forward head posture. After 3 months Dr. Jung did a re-exam and re-x-ray to monitor his progress and his cervical curve increased to 34 degrees and he had no more forward head posture.
Yuki has not needed drugs for headaches since!
