Dr. Brendan provided relief from severe neck stiffness related to radiation therapy. When I saw him at the beginning of the summer I could barely move. His depth of knowledge and the use of various techniques allowed me to almost immediately move more freely, and return to the activities I enjoy, particularly weight training, swimming and golf.

I was referred to Dr. Branden Glackin after being diagnosed with TMJ, which was causing sharp pain in my ear along with a feeling of fluid and dizziness. Once Brendan evaluated my symptoms, he determined the some of the issues were caused by spasms in my neck and shoulders related to the TMJ. Through his recommended treatment plan including dry needling and exercises, all my symptoms have been resolved. Thank you again! Great Job!
