KST A to Z
Mid-back pain (thoracic)
Mark Lynch DC
Bayville, New Jersey
A gentleman walks in with very intense mid back pain of four-day duration that radiates down his whole spine and into both legs.
His thoracic spine from T4-8 segments were subluxated with compensatory bilateral muscle spasms. Priorities: thoracic vertebrae and ribs as he moved head in flexion/extension, shrugged shoulders and did meningeal release adjustment. Asked how is the pain? He says: "It's gone, there is nothing now! Four days I suffered, and it's gone."
With my old days of diversified adjusting he would have been too acute to even work on.
