A 75-year-old man with severe low back pain and left sciatica came to my office. For the past 35 years, he would have one to two serious flare-up episodes per year that usually lasted several weeks and took about 8-12 visits to get relief. Medication and injections don't help.

After adjusting him KST in several different positions of stress/pain, he reported that there was no pain anywhere and he could perform all the movements that would normally send him to the floor in agony.

I called the patient later that day to tell him that he forgot the lumbar brace he wore to my clinic that morning. He told me to "throw it away"; he does not need it anymore.
