Today I had another new patient request an appointment as she was in agony. Typical lower back pain, radiating into her leg. Typical person, under a lot of stress, lots of deadlines looming, and her back gives out under the pressure. It has been happening on and off for 15 or so years. On looking into her health history, which includes accidents and falls, it turns out, that about 20 years ago, she stepped off a bunk bed onto a chair that then gave way, which meant that one of her legs took the full force. which leg? Well funny that, the leg that is now playing up. And has it been 15 yeards for real? probably not, most people underestimate how long they have been suffering with something.
Why has nobody else made the link? Why indeed. But the good news is, the link has been made, and we can start to deal with the root cause of this lady's 15 year old problem. Pelvis is realigned, as part of the McTimoney Chiropractic treatment, along with the lumbar vertebrae, that's lower back to most people, and lo and behold, she feels better! I Love my job!
She is in an acute phase, that is within 6 weeks of a flare up, so she is booked back in for Friday! Will let you know how she gets on.
