In this image, the front and the back of the two square vertebrae (L4 and L5) should be lined up. As you can see the top vertebrae (L4) is pushed forward. This is why you have pain. Imagine nerves coming out of the back of the vertebrae, if the alignment of the vertebrae is off, then the nerves and musculature around this segment will transmit pain. The stretch shown will be highly beneficial, though the Cox/Leander method will be of greatest relief for you. These procedures are amazingly effective and affordable.
Note: Cortisone shots (at an orthopedist) will be short lived, and cortisone is a steroid. Steroids directly and rapidly deplete bone (osteoporosis) if you have had these shots, please increase your Calcium. (see video about Calcium/Steroids) on youtube.com/drsohm
Spondylolisthesis, Spondylolysis, Spondylosis. These words are foreign to all, until you get diagnosed with it. Now, you go to a Chiropractor and they use an activator (hand held clicky thing), and you don't notice dramatic results. You go to another chiro and they use a drop table, and it hurts, and you don't feel any better, Maybe only worse. What should you do? live with it?
You do not have to live with the pain, there is relief, and no, surgery isn't the answer. If you understand what I was mentioning in the above paragraph, or if you have a condition where you haven't seen improvement from other professionals. Try me for a session. If you do not experience relief during the first two visits, then I will refund your payment.
While in the Tools & Techniques section, you will see an example of some of the tools used to treat patients. One of my secrets pertain to the type of table I use. (Cox or Leander table) The Cox technique is gentle, and those that cant handle pushing and high impact forces, will see results as the table is able to decompress and traction you spine allowing the vertebrae in your low back to function more correctly. I have never seen Spondylolisthesis go back in, but relief and decreased pressure in the back is a reality!
