A patient visits Dr. Joseph Cipriano, a chiropractor, for a consultation and treatment. The patient has been experiencing neck pain, upper back pain, middle back pain, lower back pain, and pain traveling down their legs. The patient had two car accidents, one four to five years ago and another three years ago, which may have contributed to their pain.
Dr. Cipriano conducts a physical examination, including range of motion tests and palpation, to identify areas of pain and stiffness. He notices that the patient has a slight scoliosis and alignment issues in their spine.
Dr. Cipriano then performs a series of adjustments, including a cervical thoracic adjustment, a prone thoracic adjustment, and an anterior or supine adjustment. He also uses a massage device and a wide strap to decompress the patient's spine.
After the treatment, the patient reports feeling a significant improvement in their pain and stiffness. They notice that their hips are no longer in pain, and they feel like they have grown taller. The patient is impressed with the effectiveness of Dr. Cipriano's technique, which they describe as more advanced than previous chiropractic care they have received.
Dr. Cipriano explains that his technique is designed to provide long-term relief from pain and stiffness, and he encourages viewers to schedule an appointment with him if they are experiencing similar issues.
