I had the pleasure of meeting Parker (name changed for privacy) a few years ago. I met Parker after he had extensive surgery related to his progressive scoliosis. He reported pain in his chest, spine, and neck. He had received many nerve block injections to his spine without relief. His physical examination identified multiple muscles as a source of his pain.

After treatment to various muscles in his upper and lower body, Parker reported significant relief in pain. He was able to start playing ice hockey and running in 10K races.

 

Although Parker had a successful fusion to treat his curving spine, he still had severe pain, which came from altered muscle tissue. Muscle treatment plus the fusion allowed Parker to reclaim his life. Without the addition of muscle treatment, a successful surgery would not have had a good outcome.
