KST A to Z
Thumb pain
John Nikitow, DC
Libertyville, Illinois
One of the first people I adjusted with KST had an injured right thumb of 15 years with limitation and pain. She asked if "that cool technique" could do anything for her thumb.
The OD led me to her left foot and three tarsals needing adjustment. Nothing else. I shook off my educated (intellectual) mind and just adjusted her foot, then told her to move her thumb. Full ROM and pain-free!
Lesson - let the body guide you. It'll tell you what needs to be done in the order it needs to be done.
