The pain in my knees is almost gone....
I was having more and more difficulty in walking, not to mention climbing the stairs, and even at rest in bed. The problem according to my HMO was osteoarthritis, mainly in the knees, for which she had me take calcium, glucosamine, etc. and exercise. Nevertheless my knees were becoming week and stiff. Not only was it painful just about all the time, but I had a lack of control while walking or even standing. I would often stumble and sometimes fall down. When lying in bed or reclining in my easy chair, I could hardly bear having my knees one upon the other. And always had this pain in the back bone from the waist down to the tail bone.
Now the pain in my knees is almost gone. I’m feeling stronger and far more at ease when walking. My body has become lighter on my knees. The stiffness has become lighter, I’m limping less and less, and I can even bend down safely to pick up things from the floor. I definitely have much more control on my walking, though I don’t seem to be gaining in speed. But I can stand either at home or running errands for longer periods. I can climb up some stairs without holding on to the rail. Some unimportant pain still lingers from the waist down to the tail bone. No pain at all while resting. But above all, and to me this is essential, I know that at least I am in the right path and therapy, and within the area of Chiropractic Neurology, in the best possible hands. I thank you all for that, as I thank the doctor in Mexico City who sent me to you.

Dizziness and vertigo continuously since childhood and lumbar pain....
When I became a patient of Dr. Ghazi’s I was suffering from lower back pains and never thought of discussing my ‘seasickness” with him. Through the years I have been to other chiropractors and none have ever asked about it. After a couple of months with Dr. Ghazi working on my back, he said “you know, I can help you with your dizziness”. I thought “Oh Sure”.
Now I have suffered from” seasickness” my whole life and I am now 70 years of age. I am a Dramamine junkie because of it. I never could read in a moving car or go on a merry go-round or get on a boat. I couldn’t ride in the back seat of a car or fly on an airplane without a Dramamine. If I looked up from my reading glasses I would get a dizzy spell. I even would get dizzy standing in the shower with my eyes closed! It became a way of life…..I planned ahead and lived each day with a Dramamine. So, when Dr. Ghazi said that he could help me through this I was skeptical.
So he started out exercising my eyes with the movement of his finger and I would be so sick by the time I got home I would have top take to my bed for the rest of the day. And the headaches were pretty bad too. Dr. Ghazi even had to either wear a plain colored shirt or cover up the stripes on the one he was wearing when I was there. Those stripes made me dizzy too. After several sessions and my practicing with a chart at home and my getting sick all the time, my husband was ready for me to quit the sessions. But I didn’t! It was several months and lots of “I don’t want to do this” coming from me when one day after my session with the doctor, I forgot to be dizzy on my way home!
By the time I remembered that I was supposed to be sick but wasn’t, I was so thrilled I wrote it all down so I could tell Dr. Ghazi the next time I saw him. My husband and I travel often and have noticed that I don’t have half the problems with dizziness that I used to.
I still have Dramamine with me in my purse and I still take maybe a fourth of a pill or less just as a crutch but I haven’t had any seasickness that sent me to bed with a nauseating headache since working on this problem with Dr. Ghazi.
As a matter of fact, we were recently in Beijing traveling by tour bus, not one of my favorite things to do since even the smell of the bus will set me off, and my husband said something to me and I thought, "Oh I forgot to take my Dramamine," and then I realized I didn’t even have any with me! But, you know what, I soon forgot to even think about it and spent the day enjoying myself.

Post surgical lumbar pain with Radiculopathy...
When the emergency room physician entered the room, I knew what he was going to say, “The MRI indicates you have another ruptured disc”. He suggested I call my neurosurgeon first thing Monday morning. Instead of taking the doctor’s kind advice, I went practically crawling into Dr. Ghazi’s office.
Dr. Ghazi knew the history of my back; four surgeries with a fusion. He knew what many medical doctors had already told me. My back is a mess. I needed Dr. Ghazi to work his magic. I was in considerable pain, but I wasn’t about to go to another neurosurgeon. I trusted Dr. Ghazi and for good reason. He told me to give him 9-10 months.
Each month I improved. With prayer, meditation, and (usually) following Dr. Ghazi’s orders, I was “good as new” in eight months. He did it! And may I say in addition, that as a nurse, I believe this man knows the neurological system and what to do about injuries to it better than any neurosurgeon I’ve ever been a patient of or personally known.
When my hips or knees hurt, I go to Dr. Ghazi. When I have a migraine, he’s my doc. I have less allergies and allergy related migraines because of regular adjustments. My husband says he’s going to get his “snap”. It’s a family thing.

Nerve pain to left arm and hand & wellness care...
We found Dr. Ghazi by way of referral and a friend of ours who has been a long time patient in the Georgetown office. Dr. Ghazi is the best thing that has happened to us here in Austin with our health care. Dr. Ghazi and Tara genuinely care for their patients and make the difference between just being alive and being in superior health and well being.
Skeptical about chiropractic? Don’t be. Give the treatment a fair chance and you will not ever feel sorry you invested in your long term health care.
Very Affectionately,
Lisa & Chris

I have scoliosis and spinal stenosis...
I first met Dr. Ghazi when he came to work for Dr. Allen...and I am so grateful. He has been wonderful to me.I have scoliosis and spinal stenosis for which there is no real cure but he has kept me on my feet and moving for which I thank him. He has given me exercises to do at home which have helped also. He is a very caring person and works very hard to help his patients both with his manipulations and with teaching. I have learned a lot about my condition from Dr. Ghazi.

For a great part of my adult life, I have been bothered by sciatica...
I have had many chiropractic treatments for this condition. More often than not they gave me relief for a few days at most and then the sciatic pain returned.
Four years ago I became a patient of Dr. Amir Ghazi. His careful analysis of my pain, his recommendations of specific exercises, and his gentle chiropractic manipulations of my lower back have made substantial improvements in my condition. I can go for a whole month between treatments with minimal pain of sometimes no pain at all. I have been extremely pleased with the results of Dr. Ghazi’s care.
Dr. Ghazi, moreover, is a very kind and thoughtful individual. It is a pleasure for me to come to his office for my monthly treatment. I recommend him highly to anyone in need of chiropractic care.
