Ellen "low back pain for several years"

Ellen

Dear Dr. Dave, 

I just wanted to thank you.  I can't even begin to tell you how much better I feel. There is NO pain in my back at all! Pretty remarkable!  I think it is interesting how quickly the pain dissipated after my visit to you and the wearing of the SI belt.  

Dr.’s Note:

In this case scenario the patient presented suffering from back pain off and on over several years.  We traced the possible mechanism to down hill skiing.  

This case was a chronic strain sprain of the sacroiliac ligaments of the pelvic joints.  It required specific chiropractic treatments to bring the pelvic joints into balance.  The key component of care was to have the patient wear a specific support belt called a trochanter belt that holds the joints in place while the ligaments tighten and strengthen and the pelvis becomes strong enough for the patient to return to her normal activities.
