    Patient Experience

    "Ray presented to the office in September 2025 complaining of significant chronic and worsening pain in his lower back and down the left lateral hip/thigh and often to his leg. It had started approximately 6 months before going to our office and he had “failed out of” Physical Therapy . Ray is retired, plays golf several times a week with friends, and exercises 4-5 days per week at the park district health club. Because of his problems, he had been unable to play more than 9 holes of golf in one setting without taking a cart, was unable to jog and/or walk the track at the health club, and was unmotivated to exercise with weights/resistance training in the fitness center because he felt worse all of the time with these activities. He also struggled to walk around on family trips or go to museums with his grandchildren due to the leg pain that would increase with walking. After starting treatment, Ray noticed immediate results. Ray now enjoys his golf, exercise, and grandkids again!"

    Additional Benefits Reported

    The patient also experienced these additional improvements:

    Playing 18 holes of golf 2-3x/week!

    Treatment Details

    With Ray I used a corrective chiropractic care where his care recommendations were built around his static and motion X-rays. Additionally, using Active Release Techniques (ART) I was able to palpate and locate areas where his sciatic nerve was stuck to various muscles in his glutes/hips/thigh, and release those with nerve flossing protocols. Additionally, we performed RPR and NKT muscle activation strategies manually, and enhanced those corrections with targeted and tailored rehabilitation each visit. Ray also showed a lumbar scoliosis an so we treated him with a device called a Scoliroll that he continues to use at home even past his treatment plan. Additionally, several dry needling treatments were performed using AAMT’s semi standardized protocols for sciatic nerve pain. Ray responded very well, was 75% better in terms of pain reduction after 2 weeks or care, and the rest of his pain reduction occurred over the following month. We continued care past the point of symptom resolution to ensure that we were able to demonstrate structural improvements on his follow up Xray study.
