Julie's Success Story



Julie's Success Story

Julie is a 40 year old female who is married and a mother of two children. She was in a car accident many years ago causing her much pain and discomfort. It limited her ability to enjoy live and her family. Because of her car accident she had the following musculoskeletal imbalances:

  • The right second rib was broken at the sternum, which caused a great deal of pain for many years
  • With the pain, she compensated by shifting to her left side causing the left side of her back (thoracic, lumbar) to be over developed
  • The vertebrae became too close together on the right side (posterior lateral) causing bulging discs in L3, L4, L5; which later became herniated
  • The over developed left side pulled the spine to the left creating a “C” shaped spine (scoliosis)
  • She had sciatica pain down the left leg
  • Right dropped shoulder
  • Cold feet
  • Nerve damage
  • The doctors told her that they couldn’t do anything for her except give her medications for pain management
Beside the problems of the car accident she had the additional imbalances:
  • Knees came together (Q angle)
  • Leaned forward with a forward head (upper cross sydrome)
  • Excessive swayback (lumbar curve)

After stabilizing and lining up all of her joints all of her symptoms and problems disappeared. She is now off all of her medications.

I got a phone call from her husband and he said “Thank you, Gary!  I have a new wife you have changed all of our lives. We are doing things we’ve never done before as a family.”

Her 16 year old daughter said, “I have never in my life seen my mom so happy and so full of life, she has become my best friend. Our lives have changed because of you. Thank you Gary!”
