Team Doctors Chiropractic Treatment Center

"I came to Dr. Stoxen's office unable to fully extend my left arm. This was a major problem for me since I am a professional boxer and could not train with this restriction. After our first counseltation, he explained to me that I had built up inflammation ranging from my neck all the way through my left arm. He assured me that he could fix this issue with hours of his famous deep tissue treatment. I was happy to hear this considering my next fight was a few months away. I attended Dr. Stoxen's office every day for 2-3 weeks. He would spend hours each day treating me with his own hands. This was a surprise to me since my insurance only covered 45 minutes of therapy. Even though this was the case, Dr. Stoxen was determined to rid me of my pain and get me functioning at 100% again. This told me that this man does not work for the money. He works to make his patients feel better and miraculously, my elbow was back to full health and strength in just 2 weeks. My journey at Team Doctors doesn't end there. After my elbow was healed, Dr. Stoxen continued to support me by teaching me the proper form and technique for training with weight machines and drills. His famous abdominal and neck training routines significantly increased my ability to perform at a higher level in the boxing ring. I am very grateful for Dr. Stoxen. He treats everyone in his facility like family and wants his clients to live a life rid of nagging injuries. He is truly a great person who tends to always put others before himself. His work and accolades speak for itself. PS Not only does Dr. Stoxen heal patients, he's also a best selling author! I don't know where he found the time to write a book that is a best seller in more than 6 countries. Make sure you check out his book, The Human Spring Approach to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. You won't regret it."

"Two months ago I had an episode of excruciating and scary chest pain, neck pain, arm pain and numbness (both sides, but mostly right). That calmed down to allow me to function however what happened next was really scary. I then started having chest pains, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and dizziness. I ended up in Emergency Room where a cardiologist ruled out a heart attack or a heart related issue. For two weeks after that, I went to two different chiropractors who seemed to help temporarily. No one even mentioned thoracic outlet syndrome at that time. One week later I started feeling worse again. The chiropractor was not able to adjust the first rib. I went online and after a day of research, I realized that I have thoracic outlet syndrome and it was getting worse every day. I stumbled upon Dr Stoxen's book on Amazon and I purchased it right away. Dr Stoxen describes many ways to ease the pain and symptoms of TOS in the book and some people have reversed it with this method however since my TOS was advanced and I was incapacitated at this point I realized that I needed professional help. I knew no one was able to help me in Kansas City so I reached out to talk to Dr Stoxen. Mar 29, 2021 - A 4 hour long phone conversation with Dr Stoxen and I am shocked I was getting worse by the hour and had not had a full nights sleep for days. I could not sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. I told Dr Stoxen I was in no condition at all to travel so he calmly stated "No problem, Ill come treat you in your home." Dr Stoxen came to Kansas City the next day, set up a portable treatment table and had a massager called the Massage Assist too. He took 2 hours to examine me and explained all the findings in great detail. After the examination my stress was alleviated because I was confident he would be able to help me. He said he estimated the treatment would take 5 days to root out. He worked on me relentlessly for hours and after two days I started feeling a little better. On the 5th day he discovered my abdominal muscles were extremely tight and painful to the touch. He worked to release the pain and inflammation from my abdominal wall which allowed me to get a deep breath and reduced my anxiety immensely. He also addressed my hips and my feet. On the morning of the 6th day I was almost symptom free. He trained me with dumbbells we had in the basement to open and strengthen the thoracic outlet. After he left, I went to three follow up appointments to my local chiropractor to maintain the ribs. The exercises Dr. Stoxen gave me only tame me 20 minutes to do and I have been training every other day for a month now without any complications or exacerbations. My TOS is gone and all other related symptoms was gone in 6 days! Don't hesitate to call or email him, especially if you are considering a surgery. He is the BEST doctor in his field!!"

"In December 2020, I suffered a blood clot in my subclavian vein after a workout. The doctors dissolved the clot then recommended to me and my family I have my first rib and scalenes surgically removed to prevent another clot. The cause of the clot was thoracic outlet syndrome. After this, my father did some research into TOS where he found and read Dr Stoxen's book, The Human Spring Approach to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. He contacted Dr Stoxen by phone where Dr Stoxen said that the doctors that were treating me with the blood thinners had no way to gauge if my thoracic outlet was open as to when to come off the blood thinners. Also, the physiotherapists did not have a good game plan to open the outlet. We agreed but with Covid it wasn't safe for me to go to Chicago and the US government banned travel to the US. So, I had a purple/white swollen arm for 10 months. I was told not to do any exercise of any kind and I should refrain from lifting my arms over my head. I was scared I could get another clot at any moment. I went to the top doctors on Harley Street in Marylebone, central London, which has been noted since the 19th century for its large number of private specialists in medicine and surgery. Doctors did an MRI where I had my arm over my head while I opened and closed my hand. This is when my arm went purple and white. The doctors said I needed a first rib resection. Dr Stoxen told my dad on the phone that the shoulder is the roof of the tunnel and the first rib was the floor of the tunnel. If I am lifting the shoulder up then I am lifting the roof off the tunnel and first rib. Dr Stoxen said this is cause when the pectoralis minor, coracobrachialis and biceps short head is stretched across the tunnel causing the narrowing and the symptoms and obviously not the first rib elevation. That made sense and when we finally met with him in October, he was 100% right. In October 2021 Dr Stoxen contacted my father to let him know he would be in London treating another TOS patient so we arranged to meet with him and get his treatment, When Dr Stoxen pushed his thumb into my scalene muscles, they were not painful. When he checked my first rib motion and position the first rib was not elevated and moving fine. When he checked the biceps short head, coracobrachialis and pec minor there was a severe painful muscle contraction in these muscles causing the compression in the costoclavicular space, and retropectoralis minor space and not from an elevated first rib and scalene tension. I would still have the purple ice-cold arm and pain after the surgery. Dr Stoxen carefully evaluated me for all potential areas of compression where he found a muscle spasm choking off the blood to my hand. After 5 days all the pain with the pressure points to my muscles was gone, the outlet was open, the normal colour came back to my arm, the arm and hand were warm again and the swelling in the arm was finally gone. The next morning, we met in the gym of the hotel where he taught me the proper form and technique for the exercises of the muscles that would open my thoracic outlet and strengthen it. If you have thoracic outlet syndrome and are considering first rib and scalene resection remember this is a life experience that can go either way. You cannot put the muscles and ribs back in when you find out the compression is somewhere else. I would highly recommend you call Dr Stoxen and get a second opinion."

"Doctor James Stoxen is my hero! I was lucky to find such a professional because for the last 10 years I was suffering with my neck as my job wants me to side behind the desk for 10 hours a day. This chronic pain was killing me every single day until now! Doctor Stoxen wrote an amazing book with explanation, tips and treatment to thoracic outlet syndrome! After just 3 sessions with dr. Stoxen I feel alive! By the way I also have purchased an amazing massager that he created to have a professional treatment at home! Thank you so much doc! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!"

"Dr. Stoxen has helped me tremendously, because of him I am now lifting weights 3x a week and on the path to living a pain free life. I have had MRIs, X-Rays and an EMG all coming back negative and seen several doctors offering various diagnoses that ended up being dead ends in terms of treatment. I have been in pain for 2 1/2 years with months and months of PT with little improvement. I found Dr. Stoxen's book on TOS and called him to come out to help me because the idea of the human body and it's individual muscles working as an integrated spring system and the unique approach to restoring this spring system to relieve chronic pain made a lot of sense and sounded really promising. He came out to treat me and diagnosed me with mild TOS on the right side as well as severe Forearm Compartment Syndrome, which usually requires surgery to cut open the arms and drain out the fluid. The TOS was mild and only on one side so he got through that in about a day and half of deep tissue and vibration massage. We then started on the forearms and when he first used his vibration massager on my forearms, they swelled up with fluid and when pressed down left large pits (pitting edema). He continued to push out the fluid daily with the massager as well as do hours upon hours of deep tissue to release the muscle spasms in my forearms. This work was grueling and very taxing on Dr. Stoxen but he was determined to release the spasms. The alternative to this treatment could have meant surgery, which I was determined to avoid as it would leave a lot of scarring and may not have resolved my issues entirely. I cannot express how grateful I am for how many extra hours he put in to make sure to get my arms functional again. The work was very taxing on his arms and he still worked overtime 12-14 hours every day and even gave me an extra free day because he was so committed to getting me better before he left. On top of the compartment syndrome, I also had cold, pale hands with little blood flow - He had never seen this before yet was determined to fix this issue as well. The forearm work wasn't working on my cold hands so he had the idea to try some deep tissue directly on my wrist and palms, that along with holding my hands on the massager for extended periods of time finally cleared up the blockage and the blood flowed back into my hands, they swelled up and tingled - and are now warm and their color returned to normal. It turns out I had compression in the Tunnel of Guyon and that was that cause of my hand symptoms - none of my doctors previously had noticed this. On the last few days he showed me the proper form and technique for the weight lifting exercises I now do 3x a week and I haven't missed a workout. I also use the massager and I am getting better daily. I am very grateful for Dr. Stoxen coming out to treat me and putting in the time and extra effort, without him I don't believe I would have been able to get to this point - he has helped me more than any doctor or physical therapist I have seen. He put in all the initial work that I needed and wasn't able to do on my own to allow me to continue to work on myself and get on the path to be pain free and feeling like myself again. It's been about 2 months and a few of my pains still come and go so I'm not entirely out of the woods yet but I can see myself getting back to 100% soon, I am getting my life back day by day and for that I am very grateful to Dr. Stoxen."

"I wanted to give a special thank you to Dr. James Stoxen for taking the time to see and treat my sister. After 4 doctors and 2 specialists no one was able to help her and she was in excruciating pain. 1 visit with Doctor Stoxen and she has significant less pain. He is the best in the country and has not only helped my sister, he sponsored me when I was an amateur boxer helping me build up my strength to in conjunction with my gym training become a national champion. He is not only our chiropractor he is like family. Thank you again Doctor!"

"Title: Pro Soccer player with Severe Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Reversed in 6 days! My name is Yash. I was provided a contract to play professional soccer at age 17 and until a year ago was making my way to a long career as a professional soccer player. After a knee injury I had surgery and was told to rest and elevate my leg. During that time I did a lot of texting, internet research and computer work which led to a severe thoracic outlet syndrome. I had a lot of pain all over my body. My thoracic outlet syndrome suffering caused me to postpone my knee rehabilitation which caused me to lose my contract as a pro soccer player and made me depressed. I saw 13 doctors comprising of different neurosurgeons, vascular surgeons etc. I saw many physiotherapists, chiropractors and massage therapists. No one could help me. I was recommended for surgery for a rib resection and removal of my scalenes and pectoral muscle. During that time I looked at every youtube video and every PT or chiropractor that was blowing up on the internet. Then I came across Dr. Stoxens book on Amazon, India. I read it thoroughly and understood what was happening to my body. I realized some body parts are designed as levers like elbows, knees, anlkes and wrists and some body parts are designed as springs . You cannot examine and treat an area designed with spring mechanics with examinations and treatments that only work for levers. Its impossible to reverse a condition designed with springs with the treatments I was getting from the 13 doctors and therapists that failed before him. It makes sense as every training method we learned in soccer like jumps, running drills and agility drills were using the body as a spring or plyometrics. The human body is designed as a spring and a lever yet all the doctors examined my levers, did MRI scans instead of touched me and the therapists were using treatments that would only help levers like knees and elbows when my thoracic outlet and spine was designed as a spring mechanism. No wonder I wasn't getting better. I had to be treated by Dr Stoxen. He was my only hope but he was in Chicago and I was in India.I asked him if he would come to Dubai and treat me and he said "no problem". We wired the funds to him and he left the next day to set up. I arrived a day later with my sister and he had the entire hotel room set up like a very relaxing treatment room. After only 3 hours into his treatment my pain was at its lowest its ever been in a year. He put his massager on me and it actually works. It removes inflammation from the muscles and leaves you with less pain. My numbness reduced to its lowest. He then did 40-50 hours of deep tissue on my muscles which was gruelling for him but he never complained. His hands were all swollen but he wanted me to be out of pain. Besides curing my severe chronic TOS and saving me from surgery and the chronic pain and numbness, he took the time to examine my walking pattern and made recommendations for my knee rehab, He worked on my abs and I started breathing noticeably better. He unlocked the joints of my foot and I was walking with more spring and less pain. Hes really good and he knows what he's doing. Dr Stoxen, thank you for getting me the Vibeassage. It is helping reduce muscle tension, reduce inflammation and the muscle soreness from my leg rehabilitation. The best part is that I can treat myself instead of going back to those 13 different doctors and therapists that don't get it. The thoracic outlet is designed as a spring, not a lever! Thank you doctor Stoxen for getting me out of chronic TOS pain, depression and allow me to go for my dream to be a professional soccer player again."

"Dr. James Stoxen is a real life saver!!! I was suffering with chronic back pain for years and every chiropractor I was visiting was starting my treatment with massaging my lower back. After few sessions it was going away but within months it was coming back! When I told Dr. James Stoxen about this problem the first thing he did was testing my walking pattern! I was so surprised because I could never thought of this. What he found was my shifted walking pattern that was damaging my whole body including lower back first with 5000 collisions a day! can you imaging?!?!??!?! Thats insane! Thanks to Dr. Stoxen now I'm working of my walking pattern and developing the muscles on the other side of my leg! I feel so much better and thank you doc for life saving! Thanks for you help and tips on walking and shoes!"
