KST A to Z
Sinus congestion, painful earache
Christopher Erickson, D.C.
Maple Grove, Minnesota
A patient suffered from sinus congestion and a painful earache. I adjusted C1 and C2 along with several facial bones on the first two visits, but the symptoms actually got worse, making sleep difficult and having to miss work.
By the third visit C1 and C2 subluxated again so I realized something was recreating these subluxations.
I asked the OD and got emotional stress; "powerless at work" came up. She confirmed it stating that for the past two weeks she has felt that way. I adjusted for the emotion. All her symptoms cleared immediately.
On her fourth visit C1 and C2 were clear. The symptoms did not return. She also noted feeling completely at ease at work and greater clarity for her work future.
A related case: a patient bothered by sinusitis causing a foggy feeling and breathing issues, whose ENT could find nothing wrong, had his fogginess and long-standing migraines totally disappear after his first KST adjustment addressing facials, cranials and a workplace environmental factor.
