Runners ultimately put enormous stress on the lower back. The constant pounding of the feet causes shock waves to be vibrated to the spine and hips. A limb length discrepancy, a pelvic imbalance, flat feet, spinal curvature or a degenerative disc between the vertebrae can lead to back pain. Following is the story of one of our patients who was potentially
facing surgery and how she successfully avoided it.
“I came in as a “candidate for surgery” as Dr. Fico put it. Leading a healthy and very active lifestyle, this was not an option for me. Instead, I chose to commit to rehabilitation a natural way that included adjustments and decompression therapy. Not only did this treatment allow me to walk again but also to run again and maintain my vigorous daily sports routine without having any invasive surgery or using any serious medication. I believe I have become healthier through decompression therapy and become stronger through the treatments. I will continue to benefit from this positive life change and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Fico and the staff at Strand Spine Institute are always positive and friendly. I know they genuinely care about my health and recovery. They have developed a lifelong with me as a patient, and I look forward to my visits.” Susan Flak
