Interesting Cases

This patient presented with plantar fasciitis and persistent heel pain that didn’t respond to several weeks of conservative care, which included calf stretches, intense soft tissue work on the plantar fascia, and custom orthotics. Based on current guidelines, we then took images of the foot and found this calcaneal enthesophyte (heel spur). The patient was referred to ortho for a surgical consult and is following our treatment plan, which includes avoiding walking barefoot on hard surfaces and using an orthotic with a heel cup that bunches up the fat pad on the heel to cushion the spur.

This patient presented with osteoporosis and leg weakness following bilateral knee replacements. Treatment included monthly chiropractic adjustments using the Activator Method and resistance training sessions three times per week to improve strength, coordination, and bone density. After 8 months of treatment, she had lost over 30 lbs, improved her ability to walk up and down stairs, nearly doubled the weight she was using on every major exercise, and improved her bone mineral density by 11% in her back and 8.9% in her hips.

This patient presented with hearing loss in one ear after an athletic event. Following a thorough exam, we diagnosed her with cerumen impaction. This is a condition in which ear wax builds up and blocks the ear canal. We presented the patient with some options and they consented to treatment so we proceeded to remove the wax with an otoscope camera and the patient left our office able to hear again. It's very rewarding to be able to help patients with these types of cases and is part of the reason we have office hours on Saturdays.
