Real patients of Dr. Radwanski, in their own words, from debilitating vertigo and dysautonomia to chronic pain, and what changed after a precise NUCCA correction.

Vertigo & Dizziness

Reclaiming Life From Vertigo

I went to Disney with my family and I rode every single ride there was to ride without an ounce of dizziness or vertigo.

Dysautonomia & Nervous System Function

When the Nervous System Gets a Second Chance

It's night and day. My life has totally changed. I actually had a little cry because it was totally life changing to just immediately be rid of all those effects that I'd been dealing with for years, and there were no answers to.

Chronic Pain: Back, Neck & TMJ

Finding the Source of Years of Pain

Having the majority of my symptoms alleviated is huge. I'm glad to be able to come here and get a simple procedure done in minutes that fixes it all.

Neck Pain, Arm Weakness & Radiculopathy

When Neck Pain Became Something More

I couldn't carry 5 pounds. I couldn't lift my arms. From the first day here I was already feeling cured, so relieved and so happy I was getting better. Now I can be in any position. I feel 100% normal.

Post-Accident Back & Neck Pain

Healing After a Car Accident

I went to the chiropractor for two and a half months and it didn't work. Once Dr. Julia applied the adjustment, the pressure was gone. There was a big knot on the side of my neck, all of that's been gone.

Family Wellness: Neck & Back Pain

A Family's Journey to Better Health

Care is so much bigger than handing out a prescription or providing a service, it has more to do with a community, and when you feel supported in every facet of your life, that means a lot.

To say I was skeptical would be an understatement, however Dr. Radwanski is a miracle worker. I was living with severe neck pain for YEARS. Debilitating pain. I was desperate so I drove 3 hours each way because she's the only NUCCA certified doctor anywhere "near" me. I don't know how she did it but she literally cured me of migraines and neck pain. Something I could never even imagine if I tried. I tell everyone about her. The drive is worth it. If she thinks she can help you (and she will tell you if she doesn't) it is WORTH IT. Life without this pain is something I could've never imagined. Thank you for changing my life!!!

Dr Radwanski is a life changer. She is caring and takes the time to help you to understand what your upper cervical spine is doing and how the adjustments can help. I came to her after years of suffering with back and neck pain. I was also experiencing visual vertigo and suffering from vestibular migraine and anxiety. This left me feeling like I was always on a boat and had balance issues. After my first adjustment my visual vertigo was gone and I could enjoy taking my kids to the arcade without the flashing lights bothering me. My anxiety is also more controlled because of the proper signals being transmitted from my brain stem and my nervous system. My new found well being is absolutely worth the investment and I would recommend Dr Radwanski to anyone who is having trouble with pain, anxiety and dizziness.

I have been under Dr. Radwanski's care for nearly 3 years now and let me tell you, this woman gave me my life back! When I first started seeing Dr. Radwanski I could not get through the days without a nap, was on the verge of losing my job due to my symptoms, had terrible vertigo, blurry vision, and horrible anxiety. I saw a 75% decrease within the first two months of treatment and have my symptoms managed at 99% today because of her care. I would travel anywhere to receive care from her. Dr. Rad earns her nickname in full, she is the best of the best!

On Sept 10, 2018 I was in a car accident that left me with a concussion, a traumatic brain injury. I had all the classic signs: light sensitivity, balance issues, fatigue, memory issues, dizziness, anxiety, panic attacks, brain fog, and more. I quickly realized that I would need a team to help me heal wholly. Dr Radwanski was key to my recovery. She always explained things to me and was very mindful of how I was feeling. She listened, was compassionate and gave me amazing advice and referrals. I always felt better after her adjustments. I honestly feel that Dr RAD made a huge difference in my recovery!! If it wasn't for her, I am not sure I would have fully recovered. She is the BEST!

I am a chiropractor in my 37th year of practice, and Dr. Radwansky's NUCCA adjustment yesterday was the best adjustment I have had in many years. I drove about 90 minutes to and from her office, but I would travel any distance to receive her gift. I recommend her 1000 percent!

Every aspect of working with Dr. Radwanski is positively delightful. Her gentle and marvelously precise adjustment style has no regional industry parallel to my knowledge, and the results are, quite frankly, profound. Scheduling with Sharifa will make you want to hang out and visit all day, as will the overall office environment. Five stars aren't enough.

In the past when I sought help for vertigo issues via traditional chiropractic care the relief was only temporary with minor success. However, after my first two sessions with Dr. Radwanski and the NUCCA approach, the vertigo symptoms disappeared. Not only does NUCCA work, but Dr. Radwanski is the real deal. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, she provides an extremely personal touch, caring about all factors that might be affecting my health. I highly recommend Dr. Julia Radwanski!

I am blown away by the intelligence, specialty, and compassion Dr Radwanski has for my grandfather. He has Trigeminal neuralgia and after YEARS of doctors appointments, Dr Radwanski actually knew what we were talking about!!! She is kind, sweet, and so easy to communicate with. My grandfather was DANCING with me (he is 81 years old) and smiling with no pain. Her approach is to SOLVE the problem, not put a bandaid on it with constant pills and drugs. I cried when I left her office the first time as it was a blessing to have finally met a doctor who had a solution for my grandpa's pain.

Dr. Radwanski came highly recommended. I am grateful to have her caring for me and my husband. We both have a history of head and neck traumas. Her technique is gentle yet extremely effective. She is a lovely talented practitioner with great hands and a caring heart. She is worth the drive to and from NYC anytime! Do yourself a favor and book with her today!

Dr. Radwanski is worth the commute. I drive nearly two hours to see her. The NUCCA method she uses is gentle and painless, aside from some temporary soreness you might feel once your spine is back in place. It provides such relief over time. Dr. Rad's demeanor and her office atmosphere is so calming. She takes time to answer questions and provides advice on how to mitigate pain, gentle exercise moves and tips on posture. She is friendly, kind, and professional.

I've had a very positive experience with the adjustments I received, which has helped to relieve the daily tension headaches I get. The adjustments have also improved my posture. Dr. Radwanski lays out a plan and adjusts it as your progress is evaluated. They have an easy tool online to schedule appointments. Shari at the front desk is always very pleasant. Overall a very professional and worthwhile experience.

Julia has helped me tremendously with my neck tension and migraines. When I began care my neck was stiff and had low mobility every day from tension. I had 4-5 migraines a month. Julia has been able to identify critical variables to the migraines and reduce them from the start of care. I highly recommend Vital Brain and Spine for those searching for a solution. Julia and her staff are a breath of fresh air! I'm so thankful.

I moved across country, and needed to find a NUCCA practitioner in my new home area. Dr. Radwanski was recommended to me and she is wonderful. Her office is very well run and she is very skillful and professional. She has helped me immensely. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Radwanski is not only a true health care professional, she is an amazing human! My son and I both started seeing her at Vital. My son suffered from severe migraines, and I have a significant scoliosis with lots of pain. Dr. Radwanski was caring, always listening to our questions and concerns, and applying her expertise to each of us. My son is doing fantastic now! Prior to coming to Vital, I had tried literally everything. NUCCA was a new experience for me and has made such a difference in my life and pain levels. Dr Radwanski is an excellent NUCCA doctor and we miss her dearly!

Dr. Radwanski is simply the best at what she does to make me feel better after my adjustments. I had been seeing her for 6 years and although I understand why she had to move to New Jersey I regret that she did. I really miss my adjustments and highly recommend her to those who suffer from headaches and neck pain.

I've been a patient of Dr. Radwanski (NUCCA care) for several years. I used to have debilitating neck and lower back pain. This pain kept me from normal life activities. I'm happy to report that due to Dr. Radwanski's treatment I have never felt better. I'm able to pick up my grandchildren and do household chores. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Radwanski, she is professional along with being one of the kindest people that I know.
