🕐 Reading Time: 6–7 minutes | This story is for active people, veterans, athletes, and anyone in Stow, OH living with chronic shoulder, scapular, or neck pain that just won’t go away.
If you’ve ever lived with pain that lingers for years, you know it doesn’t just affect your body—it affects your whole life. Simple tasks feel harder. The hobbies you love become frustrating. Even time with your family or friends can feel overshadowed by discomfort.
That was life for Tyler, a military serviceman, athlete, and Ohio native who had been battling scapular pain and upper body tightness since 2016.
The pain wasn’t just an annoyance. It was hindering his daily activities:
“I was in the military, so my body had already been through a lot,” Tyler shared. “On top of that, I was a college athlete at Kent State. Training five to six days a week definitely wore me down. Then things really escalated after a snowboarding accident.”

While on military duty in Utah, Tyler was snowboarding when he took a hard fall. He landed on the side of his neck—something he thought was minor at the time.
But over the weeks and months that followed, that accident accelerated his scapular pain. What had once been tightness became constant discomfort, radiating into his daily life.
Like many people, he tried to push through it. He sought out different forms of chiropractic care while stationed in South Carolina. Some relief came, but the pain never fully went away.
It wasn’t until Tyler found the Besso Clinic of Chiropractic in Stow, OH, that things finally began to change.
At Besso Clinic, the focus is on the upper cervical spine, specifically the atlas vertebra (C1) at the very top of the neck.
Even the slightest misalignment in the atlas can create a domino effect:
Most people don’t realize that an atlas misalignment can stay hidden for years, only to reveal itself as chronic pain, stiffness, or nerve symptoms later. That’s why traditional approaches often provide only temporary relief.
By correcting Tyler’s upper cervical alignment with precise, gentle adjustments, his body was finally able to rebalance itself and begin to heal.
Today, Tyler is virtually pain-free.
“Since 2016, I’ve been on this chiropractic journey,” he explained. “Now, I have virtually no pain—just some everyday aches that come with life. I don’t think I would be this comfortable on a daily basis without it.”
He’s the first to admit: the healing didn’t happen overnight.
“It’s not a quick fix,” Tyler emphasized. “You have to stick with it and trust the process. But in the long run, the results are worth it. You’ll be so much more comfortable with your health.”
Tyler’s story is powerful because it shows what’s possible when you commit to finding the root cause of your pain instead of just masking it.
Maybe you’re not a military veteran or a college athlete. Maybe your pain comes from years at a desk job, a car accident, or stress that you carry in your shoulders every single day.
But just like Tyler, your pain could be linked to an atlas misalignment.
And that means relief is possible.
