Samantha's Success Story



Samantha's Success Story

Samantha is a 55 years old female who had been living with pain for many years. She had the following musculoskeletal imbalances and symptoms that were giving her much discomfort and pain.
  • Forward head (upper cross syndrome)
  • Stiff neck
  • Sore muscles in her neck and shoulders
  • Migraine headaches
  • Hunch back (kyphosis)
  • Excessive low back curve (swayback or lordosis)
  • Vertebrae are too close together on the posterior side of her low back (lumbar)
  • Vertebrae are too close together on the inside of the upper back (anterior side of the thoracic spine)
  • Spine pulled to the right in a “C” shape (scoliosis)
  • Sacrum turned
  • SI joint (SIJ) was hyper mobile
  • With every step she took the SIJ was moving around
  • The muscles in her hips and hamstrings were working very hard trying to stabilize her hips (SIJ) they were pushing on the sciatica nerve causing pain
After lining up and stabilizing the joints her pain and discomfort were gone. Her posture improved.  She now feels and looks so much better.

This was something she had been living with for 15 years. I met Samantha and her husband two years before they finally decided she had enough pain and called me to schedule her appointment. It only took us 12 sessions to solve the problems. It’s sad that she lived in so much pain for all these years. It’s amazing that after 12 sessions (six weeks) we were able to get her out of pain.
