Walt has been complaining about his shoulder pain to multiple providers before coming to physical therapy. He has had diagnostic testing and treatments, but not much symptom relief. He is not interested in tradition physical therapy and only wants to have dry needling care.

Ron suffered a head injury while at work. The injury is 3 years old at this time. He does not complain of vertigo, but instead that he has difficulty with movement and coordination and sudden syncope at times.

Jane has very complex pain from multiple sources, including her low back and her hips. To make matters more complex, she has a history of polyneuropathy which affects her gait and balance. With some regular focused care, she makes excellent progress and she was happy to share specific results.

Tom has focal anterior hip joint line pain. He reports that he has imaging that confirms there is no [hernia], but he later demonstrates and existing umbilical hernia. Both of his hips are in bad shape, but the right is worse than the left.

Otto has worked at a shipping and logistics company, lifting heavy packages, for years. It has worn his body out and now he is feeling the effects of spinal and peripheral joint pains.

Kim has returned for physical therapy after 3 years. Her recent MRI looks worse than a previous study that she had. It seems surgery is inevitable, so I will focus on conditioning her body because research supports improved outcomes for musculoskeletal related surgeries if the person gets in shape first.

Eric has intermittent neck pain. He demonstrates remarkable mobility, ROM, and strength. He is currently only interested in dry needling to manage his pain flare ups. Because of his right thoracic convex scoliosis, and our DNA that forces the Righting Reflex, he has developed a compensatory right cervical sidebend [or concavity] and a left lumbar sidebend [or concavity]. I believe this may be the likely source of his pain provocation

I evaluated Gloria and found pain sourced from her neck and her shoulder. She has a history of noncompliance with regards to surgical consults and recommendations. I formulated a comprehensive POC based on my findings, however she never complied with her therapy visits.

Greg has mainly two sources of pain in his right upper extremity. There are elements of cervical radiculopathy and right epicondylitis pains. This episode of care resolved his epicondylitis pain.

Judy has had a lot of care targeted to her low back but she keeps notifying her providers that her pain is in her hips. She reports that no one has evaluated the pain in her hips. She has a hard time standing and walking, but with some care during the evaluation, we made a significant dent in her symptoms.
