- Hi, so I have a problem both here
and in my index and middle finger.
It's tingly and it's numb.
And my wrist also,
there's some pain in the corner of my wrist.
It seems to be traveling up my arm
through to my neck.
There seems to be a lot of tightness
in my neck muscles.
So, at this point, the only thing I can think
is there's some kind of pinched nerve up here
which is affecting the whole right side of my body.
- So, we feel there's a lot of muscle tightness
on the left side.
And we compare it to your right side,
see, it's not as tight.
It's a little swollen over here
but it's nothing like your left side.
A lot of significant swelling over here,
and a lot of muscle tightness here as well.
We also feel down your right side,
there's a lot of muscle tightness over here, okay?
And it's kind of loose over here, okay?
It's not as bad.
You feel this right over here?
That's a lot of swelling right in this spot right over here.
Okay, and you don't have anything on this side,
the left side.
You feel that nice little knot over there?
- [Patient] Yeah.
- It feels like a little pea in there.
- [Patient] Yeah, what is that?
- Okay, that's the swelling we're talking about.
Now I'm gonna check every single structure.
We're gonna see how your structure's moving.
I'm gonna challenge it going back and forward.
Normal it's supposed to move
back and forward without a problem.
Abnormal, it's gonna be stuck in place.
For me, that should be tender.
Feel that one right there?
- [Patient] Yeah. - That's not moving too well.
Tender? - [Patient] Yeah.
- Does that also duplicate your right hand problem, too?
- [Patient] Yeah.
- Okay.
Now I'm gonna tilt. See how it goes.
So, you can tilt your head to the left.
See how much issues you have rotating
and tilting towards the right, okay?
So, that indicates a lot of structural issues
going on right there at the sixth cervical.
Next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna
take a look and see how you're rotating.
So, once again, you can turn your head easily to the left.
You've got some issue rotating to the right.
You can't turn your head over to the right.
Feel that difference right there?
- [Patient] Yeah, a little bit.
Not too dramatic, but definitely there.
- It's most certainly there.
- [Patient] It's like 100 and 85 that way.
- Exactly, so we already identified
that this is the one that's the problem.
We saw with instrumentation, yes,
there is a nerve that's being irritated at this level.
There is swelling right here, muscle spasms over here.
X-rays indicated that this structure over here is backwards
and rotating in a very particular direction.
This is the one we need to correct.
In this X-ray structural analysis,
what we see is this is what normal is supposed to look like.
Like this space right over here.
However, we see on the fourth, fifth and sixth
there's a lot of breakdown and a lot of degeneration.
In essence, we're seeing a lot of this fellow over here
and the sixth cervical disc
we're seeing this fellow over here.
So, take a closer look what caused all these fellas'
is actually right here.
This bone moved backwards and also tilted backwards as such
so this is the one we need to correct.
There we go.
- [Chiropractor] What difference do you notice
right now in your fingertips?
- It does feel like it's subsiding.
It hasn't gone but it feels like it's,
the tingling has gone.
The tingling has gone.
It's still a bit numb but the tingling has gone.
- [Chiropractor] How much numbness
would you say is left over?
- Because I can't slice my finger open it's hard to tell.
It's definitely better though.
- [Chiropractor] Alright.
Well let's take a look at your wrist, okay?
Fingers towards me.
Okay, so you feel this one over here?
There's too much movement.
- [Patient] Yeah.
- [Chiropractor] Okay, we're gonna compare it to your left.
Okay, it doesn't move as much.
You feel that difference there?
- [Patient] Yeah.
- [Chiropractor] Whereas this one--
- [Patient] It's loose.
- [Chiropractor] Very loose.
So, we'll take a look at your elbow.
Feel that difference here? This over here is solid.
But when I deviate towards this way,
do you feel that difference?
- [Patient] Yeah.
- [Chiropractor] It's too much moving towards that way.
So now we check what's going on with the radius.
Okay, just over here. We'll fix it.
There it is.
Feel that nice little fellow pop?
- [Patient] Yeah, what was that?
- [Chiropractor] So, we just fixed his bone right over here.
- [Patient] Yeah, that's where the pain is, there.
- [Chiropractor] So we'll have to fix your pisiform,
this small little bone right over here.
- [Patient] Right there, yeah.
- [Chiropractor] Okay, go ahead and move your hand around,
see how you like it.
How's these two fingers right over here?
- [Patient] Yeah, getting better.
- [Chiropractor] Okay so, fill me in.
How is the wrist and the fingers?
- So it's been about a week since I last saw you.
I think dead on a week.
- [Chiropractor] About.
- And my wrist is 90 to 95% better, maybe more.
And the tingling in the index finger, middle finger
are now at least 30 to 40% better.
The neck is feeling better and for the hips
what you did down there it's dramatically better.
I can sit with my legs kind of almost parallel now
which is a new feeling.
And I do feel overall that I'm more aligned. So, all good.
I'm definitely going to the bathroom
with much more regularity than I used to.
- So how are the fingers now?
- They're fantastic.
From non-stop pain and numbness
and getting worse during the day
to pretty much back to how it was before.
- So, any residuals or absolutely none left?
- I mean, it's one percent of what it was.
- One percent?
