A chiropractor conducts a session with a patient who has chronic lower back pain, particularly in the middle and lower back, and slight scoliosis. The chiropractor uses various techniques, including a massage gun, to relax the patient's muscles, then performs a spinal adjustment to address the misalignment in the patient's spine. The patient reports feeling looser and less stiff after the adjustment, and expresses a positive experience, noting that it was less nerve-wracking than expected and encourages others to relax and let the process happen.
