Dr. Jonihakis cured my son’s pain from youth sports. My son started playing sports at age 5 and throughout high school. He played baseball, basketball, golf, hockey, soccer, football, volleyball and swimming. Over the years Dr. Jonihakis cured all of his injuries without addictive pain medications. Some of my son’s teammates also had the same injuries, but became dependant on drugs. Dr. Jonihakis encouraged my son to study, so he could go to college regardless if he played sports. My son listen to him and he earned a full academic scholarship to be an aviator at Lewis University and plans to join the Navy to be a fighter pilot. Thank you Dr. Jonihakis for curing my son’s pain in a healthier holistic natural way, helping and healing so he could enjoy a happy life.
