During my annual physical with my primary care physician, I reported tingling in my upper legs and feet. I was referred to a neurologist and explained that I also had pain in my lower back. Symptoms were present on a daily basis, both during sedentary parts of the day and more pronounced during cardio workouts. The neurologist conducted a series of tests and I was told that I had permanent nerve damage. However, two rounds of blood tests were ordered for underlying causes, which both came back negative. I was frustrated with the diagnosis because there wasn’t a clear underlying cause, and sought a second opinion.
A friend referred me to Impact Health & Wellness. During the initial assessment, they took an X-ray which showed vertebrae alignment and disc compression issues in my lower back. Their chiropractor’s assessment attributed my pain to pinched spinal nerves. Over three months, I worked with a physical therapist, used the decompression table, and had chiropractic adjustments. Follow-up X-rays showed significant improvement to my alignment and compression. We eliminated all of my symptoms without pain medication. I’ve enjoyed pain-free cardio workouts since my physical therapy ended. I want to thank all of the amazing staff at Impact Health & Wellness for the difference that this has made in my daily activity.
