KST A to Z
Disc/sciatica/back
William Schafernak, DC
Mundelein, Illinois
A 56-year-old male patient presents with moderately severe low back pain of three weeks' duration with sciatic radiation to the right heel.
He had injured his back putting a heavy plow onto his truck. An MRI showed significant L4/L5 nerve root encroachment due to disc prolapse. He didn't want surgery.
I used KST for three weeks, at which time he had no residual leg or back pain and had returned to full duty work.
