Patient presented to the office with reports of significant, debilitating, and worsening low back pain radiating into both of her hips. The pain was described as feeling like a "tight vice-grip/ pressure around her waist". She stated that it began shortly after an exercise class involving many kettlebell swings. She stated that she was initially "doing fine" and then started to get progressively more sore and tight. She went home after class and the next morning woke up and "couldn't move" due to the pain. She was experiencing a sharp, intense pain and ache that prevented movement due to the spasm that she was experiencing. Medication, ice and heat were ineffective at resolution. She was evaluated in our office, diagnosed and accepted for care. She was compliant with recommendations, performed structural and physical therapy without reporting any adverse events, and is now living, exercising and working again without pain and having fun doing it.

He was traveling through an intersection when he was hit by another motorist who did not yield for a red light. The impact pushed his vehicle into another lane of traffic and turned him 90 degrees from his intended direction. Immediately he felt his body jolt back and forth abruptly contacting various parts of the vehicle. His pain was immediate and had been worsening since the collision. He could no longer work, sleep, drive, move, lift, bend, twist, or perform home chores without pain. He was evaluated in our office, diagnosed and accepted for care.

Patient reported to the office with moderate to severe chronic neck and shoulder pain resulting from years of military service and performing running drills and marches with 30-35 lbs on his back. Most recently he woke up with a "large knot" in his back that has significantly impacted his function and aggravated his current level of pain to the point that medications and ice/heat are no longer effective. His left upper extremity was described as "numb all of the time" and he reported that he had trouble playing with his sons, being productive at work, sleeping through the night, and driving even short distances. His lower back pain is constant and worsening since jumping on his knee caused him to have a massive injury and he hasn't been feeling nearly as strong as he used to be. The patient was able to start care immediately, tolerated all of the treatments well, stayed consistent with his home care, and did not have any residuals or limitations before, during, or after treatment.

The patient at the time had his foot on the brake, was looking straight ahead, and was not aware of impending collision or braced for impact. Upon being struck his knee hit the dash and he felt a significant "jolt" in his hip after the car was forced to lunge forward. He has had pain and had been forced to avoid activities involving exercise and/or physical exertion. He developed a slight limp since the collision and noticed that the pain was interrupting work, sleep, exercise, yoga, and helping to care for the home. He was more irritable and not sleeping well due to the pain either. He was evaluated in our office, agreed to terms, and was accepted for care.

He stated he was experiencing more limitations with day-to-day activity as the pain worsened. Patient reported the situation was complicated by a blood clot in his lower extremity that he was receiving treatment for but primarily began following his promotion from field work to desk work. It is challenging for him to sit still in uncomfortable chairs. The pain was a constant sore ache and dull, and frequently became sharp and shooting. Patient reported that "everything hurt" and he just wanted to be able to hold his daughter without pain and get a good workout in. Upon completing care he achieved all goals and had significant improvement and a healthy outcome.
