KST A to Z
Ankylosing spondylitis
Kerri Ward, DC
Ft. Pierce, Florida
Melissa has a case history of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). She has had three spinal fusion surgeries and is on disability. She lives with chronic muscle spasms and is not able to function and pretty much has lost the will to live.
On her 1st visit, sitting, we adjusted sacral pattern, sacral nerve root S2 bilateral, cranial sphenoid-basilar pattern and hump pattern.
On her 2nd visit, standing (in a run stance she hurt herself in military training). She was adjusted for sacral pattern, knee pattern, sphenoid, left foot, left shoulder.
On her 3rd visit she reports that she is spasm-free for the first time in five years and does not need to take her anti-spasm medications. She has more energy than she has had in years.
She is bringing in her son and has referred her mother and two friends.
