Treatment Details

With John we used gentle chiropractic techniques such as flexion distraction and arthrostim, in order to allow for proper healing of the stress fracture in his lumbar vertebra that was found with an MRI at the outset of care. Additionally, I had found weak glute max muscles and compensation through the lower back muscles and hamstrings, which was putting undue compressive pressure through his lower back. We treated him with muscle activation (Reflexive Performance Reset) and NKT (Neurokinetic therapy) to get his muscles firing again in the correct patterns. We saw a lengthening of his hamstrings on the straight leg raising test as a result of correcting his glutes, hip flexors, and several other muscle groups using these techniques. John also had a lot of Active Release Techniques, massage therapy, dry needling, and spent 2.5 months in the rehab room to ensure that the patterns we created in the treatment room are holding in the long term and mitigating future injury risk.
