Verified treatment outcome for Lower Back Disc Herniation at Foundation Sport & Spine in Arlington Heights, IL.100% pain reduction, 100% ability to walk long distances and stand for hours, and 100% able to play golf multiple times per week achieved over 10 weeks. Diagnosis: M51.17 (Intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy, lumbosacral region). Additional benefits: Improved sleep quality, increased energy, now able to exercise and lose weight. Treatment: Dan was treated at our office using a combination of corrective chiropractic care using mirror image adjustments (from CBP), flexion distraction, McKenzie-type end range loading techniques, as well as Active Release Techniques around his hips, thighs, lower back, and using ART long nerve entrapment protocols. He also benefitted from muscle activation strategies (RPR and NKT) which provided him with very strong and activated glutes, psoas (hip flexors), abdominals, and Lats (main muscle driving rotation during the golf swing). Additionally, during the acute stages, we used intersegmental traction and electric stimulation to help calm down his severe muscle spasm. At the outset of care, we were co-managing him with a physical therapy group. He said he did an odd exercise one day during his PT, and ended up going to the ER for painkillers and muscle relaxers. After this, he chose to pursue care at our office exclusively. We, of course, took the foundation he had began to build at PT, but designed a customized rehab program for him based on his muscle weaknesses found at the outset of care. We focused on stability, single leg balance, wobble chair, basic side planks, and light band exercises. Over time, we progressed him to complex whole-body strength movements and added weights and heavy bands to his program. We also included some golf-specific exercises that had him working swinging stance and rotation coordination to better prepare him to be on the golf course multiple days a week after he finished care.. Patient experience: Dan presented to the office with moderate to severe lower back pain that wasn't resolving from traditional PT.

"Dan presented to the office with moderate to severe lower back pain that wasn't resolving from traditional PT. He was unable to stand for longer than 2-3 minutes, couldn't walk more than 30-40 feet without having to sit down, and had been unable to use his golf simulation at home or play golf in his weekly league or with friends when he started at our office. He went through our combination of corrective treatment techniques for 3 days per week for approximately 10 weeks. In addition to seeing significant improvement of his lumbar X-ray motion study we performed at his initial examination, he had also enjoyed a 100% resolution of his pain and is now thriving, playing golf, and enjoying his grandkids. Dan still comes to our office monthly for maintenance care where he receives an adjustment, muscle activation, Active Release Techniques, and a brief therapeutic massage. And, at the time of writing, he has been able to lose 40 pounds due to his ability to exercise at a higher level."
