Verified treatment outcome for Spondylolysis and hip avulsion at Foundation Sport & Spine in Arlington Heights, IL.100% pain reduction in hip and lower back achieved over 10 weeks, 3 times per week scaling down to 2 times per week as the patient improved. Diagnosis: M43.07 (Spondylolysis, lumbosacral region). Additional benefits: More ROM in hips, Improved flexibility, Better posture, More explosive sprinting. Treatment: Brayden presented originally to the office complaining of severe right hip pain that started when he felt a pop followed by immediate pain in his hip flexor region while playing in a competitive lacrosse game for a club team. He also complained of lower back pain that had been chronic for the past 6 months to a year. We began treatment with the hip right away, which we diagnosed with an avulsion of the anterior superior iliac spine of the pelvis, with techniques that included gentle chiropractic adjustments, Active Release Techniques (ART), muscle activation strategies, and passive modalities such as dry needling, electrotherapy, and cupping. At first we did not do anything that would stretch or lengthen the fractured area, but worked exclusively with passive modalities at that region (dry needling, edema massage, electric stim) and only began to lengthen the muscles right in the area after 4 weeks when hard callus formation was completed. During the course of treatment, Brayden's mother noted to us that his lower back pain was improving with our treatments, but that she always wanted to take him to the orthopedic doctor for a second opinion, because she was concerned he was having LBP as his age. Scans revealed spondylolysis of L5/S1, and so we included the treatment of that injury with dry needling. He was advised to rest from sports and exercise for 6 weeks by the orthopedic physician, and we continued building him back up with a lot of core/pelvis/hip rehabilitation that at first focused on bracing and stability, and was later dynamic and geared towards getting him to be able to tolerate the movements that would have lead to his lower back injury in the first place. Brayden made a full recovery and is pain-free in both areas and playing at a high level for a club team out of state as well as his high school academy team.. Patient experience: We heard about Dr. Porcher's office from another family in our community, and when my son injured his hip playing lacrosse, I took him in for an evaluation.

"We heard about Dr. Porcher's office from another family in our community, and when my son injured his hip playing lacrosse, I took him in for an evaluation. He immediately diagnosed the problem, and although my son wasn't happy to hear he was going to have to sit out for a couple of tournaments until the fracture healed, it was the right thing. Brayden's lower back had also been hurting him and although he said what Dr. Porcher and his team were doing for it was helpful, I still had that "Mom instinct" to get it checked out further by an orthopedic doctor we've seen for other injuries. He found a small stress fracture in his lower back and lengthened the time Brayden needed to rest from lacrosse and other sports. Thankfully, we already felt comfortable with the work Dr. Porcher and his team were doing with treatments and PT in his office, and so we stayed the course with him. Brayden is now completely better and I'm thinking of making an appointment for myself!"
