A chiropractor is working with a patient who has been experiencing severe back pain and limited mobility. The patient had been to multiple specialists and undergone physical therapy, but had not seen any significant improvement. The chiropractor begins by assessing the patient's range of motion and identifies areas of tightness and tenderness. He then uses a combination of massage and adjustments to try to loosen up the patient's muscles and improve their alignment. The chiropractor also uses a technique called the "white strap" to help decompress the patient's spine and relieve pressure on their discs. Throughout the session, the chiropractor checks in with the patient to ensure they are comfortable and not experiencing any pain. By the end of the session, the patient is able to move more freely and reports feeling some relief from their pain. The chiropractor recommends a series of follow-up appointments to continue working on the patient's alignment and mobility.
