Active Chiropractic

A was a 42 year-old lady who came to the clinic with back pain and nerve pain (sciatica) radiating down her right leg. She reported having ongoing back problems since the birth of her son 8 years previously. Both the pregnancy and delivery had been difficult - her son had been side-lying and required a forceps delivery. She had suffered from low level back pain ever since - with episodes of acute pain and sciatica if she overdid it. She had previously been very active but, over time, the ongoing fear of aggravating the pain had forced her to do less and less.
