Patient Name: Ali G.
Health Concerns/What Happened?: This patient presented for wellness and care to enhance performance due to her knowledge of the damaging effects of nerve interference or “subluxation”.
Patient’s Story: “This was very helpful and I had only good experiences with chiropractic, especially through my pregnancy. When my chiropractor retired, I wanted to continue in a proactive way. When I heard about Dr. Barb and after my initial reason I was inspired by how she practices and it reminded me of how I like to teach voice. Dr. Barb and I have been working through my alignment issue and my energy is increasing. I’m grateful for chiropractor and how it helps my body heal.”

Patient Alan: 29 years old (Case study sponsored by Workwell Toronto)
Patient’s Chief Complaint: Chronic low back discomfort with “cracking noise”. Started since his previous occupation, he was a “mover” and did a lot of heavy lifting.
Computerized nerve scan (sEMG) showed nerve tension in cervical spine although his symptoms were in low back and knees. Chiropractic exam revealed cervical, thoracic and lumbar Subluxations. Posture check revealed unbalanced weight distribution.
Treatment: KST only for 3 times a week for total of 8 visits.
End of Case Study: Patient had minimal improvement. The case study was only for a total of 8 visits; suggesting that his total amount of treatments were not sufficient to create significant changes. However, the patient was pleased with his care and the knowledge that he got out of this study. “Learning more about chiropractic made me realize how necessary service it is. I have always felt my body, joints and posture were out of line and needed to be corrected. I would definitely recommend chiropractic whether you have something wrong with you or not. Preventative medicine is far better and natural to the human body than to wait until it is too late”.
