So, how's it going guys.
We have a patient here, so, clue everyone in.
Let everyone know what's been going on with your health.
I've been experiencing numbness on my neck, almost constantly, and severe back pain at
night.
At that wakes me up during sleep.
Okay
You also mentioned that when you look down, it makes it worse, correct?
Yes, yeah
And, it gets lot better when you look upwards?
Right there
So the first thing we're going to do folks, is we're going to do static palpation.
And we see on the left side, there's a lot of swelling in this region over here.
Lots of muscle spasms and tightness on the left side in relation to the right side.
Next part, we're going to do motion palpation.
And we're going to see what's moving and what's not moving.
So normal, it should move in all directions.
We're checking the sacrum.
The sacrum moves on the right side, and the left side it doesn't move what-so-ever.
Checking his left hip, it moves backwards and forwards without a problem.
His right side, moves forward and backwards without a problem.
So we already identified that this area over here, the sacrum requires correction.
So the next part is, we're going to take a look what's going on in this region over here.
So we see in the surrounding area, over here, there's a lot of swelling over here.
So next component is, again, we're going to do motion palpation.
See what the potential problem is.
How's this one over here, Roy?
-Pain -Pain here, right?
So we're right at the 1st Dorsal Vertebra.
And that's not moving too well.
Now we're going to check.
See, we can see the difference over here.
We turn your head all the way to the left, see how much we can turn your head to the
right.
You can't turn your head all the way to the right.
Little bit stuck on the left.
In this X-ray Structural Analysis, as we can see, this particular patient has
rotatory scoliosis all the structures are rotating towards the
right towards the left
swivels significantly towards the right then straightens up again
now although we will be correcting his 1st Dorsal Vertebra to give symptomatic relief
from the numbness in his neck the long term strategy that will really help
this patient is correcting the sacrum over here that caused
all these compensations in the first place.
Walk around a bit.
So how does it feel?
Better, wow!
Right.
You feel more level?
Yeah.
Oh, that's right, you also mentioned that your feet felt unbalanced too.
How does the feet feeling too?
In this legs?
Yeah, that's what I felt like.
It's more level.
More balanced, right?
Wow.
Wow, isn't it?
Ok, have a seat.
Now before we correct your neck.
Let's see how much from correcting your foundation alone
helps you with your neck.
Okay So, once again.
Turn all the way to the left turn to the right
How like about that?
You notice a difference already?
-Yeah!
Turning your head to the left.
Turning to the right.
Look at that, you have full range of motion.
Tilt your head to the left, I'm sorry, to the right.
Tilt your head all the way to the left.
How's that?
You still have a slight stuck over there.
-Yeah But overall, how'd like about that?
Big difference.
So that's why it's so key, and that's why Dr. Gonstead, helps validate his principle
that is, once you start leveling your foundation, everything from the ground upwards
starts untwisting itself and that's why you feel a lot of relief at
your neck already and we haven't even corrected it yet.
So now we're going to the next step So let's go ahead and correct your neck.
This is a funky angle here.
How's it now?
Wow, much better!
Right?
Does it cause numbness?
No!
Look all the way up, how does it feel?
More freer?
Yeah!
Wow
How you loving it brother?
This is amazing, wow!
How'd you like that?
It went the opposite direction.
It used to be on the left side, now it's slightly on the right side.
Now let's see what's going on in the low back, so how'd you like that, we cleared it.
There's nothing there.
