"I had broken six vertebrae in my spine and I had bone fragments on my spinal cord. They told me if I didn't have the surgery I would never walk again. I decided against the surgery. I was back on my feet in 9 and 1/2 weeks."
Dr. Joe Dispenza was hit by a vehicle going 55 mph during a triathlon, suffering compression fractures in six vertebrae with bone fragments on his spinal cord. Four surgeons unanimously recommended Harrington rod surgery or he would never walk again. Instead, he used mental reconstruction and visualization for 6.5 weeks and was walking again in under 10 weeks without surgery.
