Narrative History:
Mr. R complained of severe muscular pain in his lower back and quads that had been ongoing for three weeks. He was limping and could not straighten his back when walking. He was immobilized two days prior to his visit to my office. He has a history of back pain twice before in 1982 and 1988 due to overuse and sports related injury. In the past he consulted a medical doctor and was diagnosed with L4 and L5 muscular misalignment. He has high stress and sits a great deal in front of the computer at work. He is intolerant of heat and his blood pressure is 140/90. He is in remission with Grave’s Disease and hyperthyroidism, which were active years ago. However, he reports that his throat feels stuck all the time.
Mr. R appeared very protective emotionally. Palpation found shoulder and chest muscles constricted. High elevated para-spinal and lumbar-sacral musculature on the entire left side. Further assessment found that Mr. R has very poor posture as work. For the past ten years, as a result of compensating for the position of his computer monitor he has constantly turned his back to the right throughout his workday.

Results/Conclusion:
Mr. R’s lower back pain improved 85% after just one treatment. He was able to walk with his back straight and significantly more mobility in general. He also committed to fixing his ergonomic position at the computer monitor so that he was not continually turning his back to the right. After two additional treatments with the above protocols he was able to walk without pain and his blood pressure went down to 120/80. Treatments have been reduced to once per month as maintenance and he continues to do well.
