We are blessed with a chiropractic clinic that uses a functional movement screen to diagnose what causes the pain, then active release technology (plus pt, e-stim or whatever else is needed) to treat it.

My pain was enough that I would almost be blinking back tears while grocery shopping. I had just had my sixth baby and couldn’t continue like this. My parents have had three back surgeries between them and one is on OxyContin (and all the misery that follows) for life. I didn’t want to go down that typical path when seeing an MD.

The chiropractor could tell I was a former runner, accurately guessed the problems I had when I competed and stated why I had them and how they led to my current pain. It had been 18 years since my last race. Four visits and the pain was gone completely. He said I didn’t need an adjustment as my spine was fine. My pelvis was tipped forward-strong quads, weaker hamstrings. About twice a year I get a twinge and then do the stretches I’m supposed to do daily and it’s gone again.

Same chiropractic clinic helped my teen son when he injured his back in the weight room. Had him back on the wrestling mat within weeks.

I would never go to a chiropractic clinic that focuses on adjustments for treating all issues. The functional movement screen makes sense to me.
