23 year old woman, very slight in build and slightly stooped Many childhood falls from trees , bikes and horses. For 6 months has been receiving chiropractic treatment in local clinic—unfortunately treating their patients has become a regular event—had 15 plus sessions. No effect.

My findings—L5 95% seized, C7 80% seized, most thoracic joints atleast 40 % loss of mobility. Very substantial contracture along the erector spinae , left, T5-T10. Rib mobility restriction.

It is difficult to see what has been achieved in 15 sessions of treatment—very little of value has been done.

Two sessions of removing contracture and two joint mobilisation resulted in 50% less pain This will however, not be a two session job!!—this will need at least 5 sessions because the body is very stiff and the progress , for such a young person, is very slow. This is most likely to be because the problems have been around for so long.
