This 60-year-old practice member came in to see me for her chronic neck and arm stiffness, pain in the ankle, feet, hands, and swelling in the legs. She had a hard time walking and sleeping; her symptoms interfered with daily life.

She had seen a chiropractor in the past who used manual adjustments, which helped at first but then made her feel worse.

After KST adjustments she slowly improved mentally, physically and chemically. However, every visit she had to complain about pain, soreness. On rare days she would say, "I feel great."

I thought I was not really helping her as much as I wanted to. But last week she brought in a thank you card, thanking me for helping her get her life back on track.

A related case: a 50-year-old man diagnosed with narcolepsy and various other issues improved mostly with KST but still felt sleepy while concentrating. Asking the OD whether anything was interfering, attached to his body, led to identifying his wig, worn for ten years, as the cause - checking with and without it showed meningeal tension and cranial subluxations only with the wig on. He took it off and threw it away.
