Allison’s Success Story

Allison’s Success Story

Allison is a 19 years old female. She had been by many doctors and no one could seem to help her. Finally a doctor referred her to me because he knew I could help her.  She had lot of pain for some so young and so much life ahead of her. Below is a list of musculoskeletal imbalances and symptoms she displayed: 

• Leaned forward in on the balls of the feet (forward gate)
• A forward head (upper cross syndrome).
• A sore and tired back because all of the muscles in the back were constantly firing to pull her back to the center of gravity
• A dropped left shoulder
• A dropped right hip
• A “S” curve in the spine (scoliosis)
• Vertebrae T8 and T9 were pinching the nerves
• The spine had a wind in it (twist or spiral)
• Pain in the spine when she inhaled
• Excessive low back curve (sway back or lordosis)
• The vertebrae were to close together on the back side (posterior) of the lumbar spine putting her at risk for bone spurs
• Bow legged 
• Internally rotated at the ankles 
• Inflammation at the outside (lateral) side of the knees
• The meniscus and cartilage were quickly wearing out on the medial side of the knees

Allison and I worked hard together for 60 sessions. Together we corrected all of her musculoskeletal imbalances. 

On our first session Allison felt her back pain go away (Because I backed the vertebra off from the nerves). Every time she came in she would say, “I feel better and better.” About the 8^th session she said, “I feel like you are unwinding me.”  On the 15^th session she said, “It doesn’t hurt when I breathe anymore.” We worked hard and it took a long time, but we got her skeletal frame absolutely perfect.

On our last session Allison said, “Thank you Gary! You changed my life and kept me out of surgery. I will never forget you.” It’s was an amazing experience to work with Allison.
