Patient Experience
"Patient, an active runner, began chiropractic care in May for low back pain. Over the course of treatment through August, symptoms worsened with shooting pain extending from the back/hip into the inner thigh and over the kneecap. Patient reported temporary improvement during a week away from care in July, followed by worsening upon resuming treatment. Could barely walk at times and was unable to run normally for approximately 2 months. After discontinuing chiropractic care, a physical therapist evaluated and believed the original injury/nerves had been further inflamed. Patient has since partially improved with PT—walking without pain and working through a return-to-run program."
