    Patient Experience

    "After suffering from severe lower back pain for 40 years following a fall in 1985, this patient came in with 8/10 pain that made landing on their left foot excruciating and walking downhill impossible. Physical therapy had provided limited relief. Within weeks of starting care, the SI joint pain fully resolved and gait normalized. By the second re-exam, all lower back pain was completely gone - 0/10. After four decades of chronic pain, this patient now exercises at home, walks without limitations, and has regained full functional capacity without any medications."
