• Patient would stretch his neck before and during workout sessions
• Started moving his neck in a certain direction followed by a constantly stiff neck
• Was told by multiple doctors that it would go away and he was fine
• Visited Chiropractor, didn't help stiff neck
• Dizziness arose, visited Orthopod?, was told degenerative disk disease was the culprit
• Was referred to an ear doctor for dizziness and was told that his neck problem caused it
• Physical therapy didn't help, was scared by his angled neck causing him pain
• His neck problem caused depression. He feared that his life would never be the same.
• Educated himself, thought it might be Dystonia
• Found Dr. Lisk. Lisk listened to his story and started testing for Dystonia
• Got Botox injections
• After several injections, he "feels great" and is "living his life like he used to"
• Dr. Lisk's compassion helped him get over his dystonia, depression
