Localized Injuries

Mechanical Link's approach can also be extremely effective in treating localized injury, as in the case of W.B., who woke up one morning with lower back spasms and acute pain. He was unable to straighten and stand upright. He leaned greatly to the left, most likely due to a herniated disc at the L4-L5 level. He was treated using the whole body approach that same day.

Monique recommended that he walk and exercise as tolerated and she provided him with back extension exercises. By that afternoon, he reported to be 60 percent better, feeling well enough to go sledding with his children.

He was treated again the next day, utilizing a localized approach to the spine. Within 48 hours, he was 85 percent better, and by the third day, he was completely out of pain. He had regained all of the range of motion in his spine and was standing and moving normally. He was advised to return in four weeks and to continue to exercise and resume his normal activities.
