Susan Mills came to Corrective Care on the recommendation of her gynecologist. She had been experiencing lower back pain and pain that went down her left leg for over a year. The combination of an exercise program on the Reformer and Prolotherapy helped get her back on track, and improved her quality of life.
Dr. Brad Sandler handled Susan's case. She had a L-5, S-1 herniated disc, and the ligaments and tendons in her lower back had degenerated. Dr. Sandler recommended an exercise program on the Reformer combined with lightweight exercises and Prolotherapy. This specially designed program helped build up the tendons and muscles in order to more efficiently hold the back in place.
"I experienced no strain or pain on the Reformer," said Susan. "Mark, my exercise therapist, was very helpful in assisting me throughout the program." She worked on the Reformer two times per week for a period of eight weeks. In that time, her strength and flexibility drastically improved, and the pain decreased.
"Prior to coming to Corrective Care, the pain in my leg was so bad, it would wake me up at night," said Susan. "In addition, my granddaughter(who was three at the time), could not understand why I could not pick her up to hold her."
The results were fantastic, and Susan is very pleased with the results. She can pick up her granddaughter, and her overall mobility has improved. "I'm able to do house work and gardening without any problems now," stated Susan. "I was so happy with the results, I told my husband about Corrective Care. Now he is going because he has had trouble with his knee for years."
