Acute 8/10 pain with leg radiation made squatting and deadlifting impossible. Fast-track spinal decompression resolved his symptoms in just 2 months, and proper rehab had him back to training - now lifting heavier than before with better form and body awareness." Condition Disc Protrusion Improvement 82% pain reduction "After 10 years of worsening back pain from nursing, this healthcare hero could barely function after 12-hour shifts. MRI showed dehydrated discs at multiple levels. Spinal decompression therapy promoted disc rehydration, reducing her pain from 7/10 to 2/10. Follow-up imaging confirmed improved disc hydration, and she now completes shifts without debilitating pain." Condition Chronic Low Back Pain Improvement 72% pain reduction "Facing emergency surgery for a severe pinched nerve causing early foot drop, this engineer was terrified of permanent damage. Urgent spinal decompression therapy relieved the nerve compression, reversing the motor weakness completely. His pain dropped from 9/10 to 1/10, foot function returned to normal, and he avoided surgery. He's back to hiking the trails he loves." Condition Lumbar Radiculopathy with Motor Weakness Improvement 85% improvement ### Conditions & Patients Ritchie Chiropractic and Is Best Suited For ### Conditions - Disc Protrusion - Chronic Low Back Pain - Lumbar Radiculopathy with Motor Weakness - Lumbar Herniated Disc - Sciatica - Degenerative Disc Disease ### When Chiropractic May Not Be Appropriate - • Progressive neurological weakness or loss of function - • Suspected spinal fracture or instability - • Severe osteoporosis without medical clearance - • Active infection or tumor in the treatment area - • Cauda equina syndrome or other surgical emergencies These are general guidelines.
