See How a Simple Fix Relieved G.O.’s Debilitating Pain Quickly When Other Methods Had Failed…
G.O. came to see Dr. Marks in desperate need of relief. Out of nowhere she developed excruciating pain in her back that radiated to her legs and crept up her back. She also said both her feet hurt.
Other doctors provided partial relief, but didn’t seem to look at her thoroughly.
Dr. Marks Chiropractor Orange CA did his usual thorough exam and x-rays. He took the time to explain his findings and created a treatment plan specifically for her problem.
After only 1 treatment G.O. noticed a difference, and in only 4 visits, she reported ZERO pain!
OF course every patient responds differently and Dr. Marks cannot guarantee everyone results like this, but more times than not patients see great relief quickly.
And what was the one simple fix that helped her achieve great results? The thing nobody else addressed?
G.O. was born with a short leg.
This is a very common anomaly in the body that if left uncorrected can cause back pain and also hip, knee and even neck pain! Many people have a short leg and aren’t aware of it. The symptoms can be back or hip pain. Often the person feels like they need to shift from leg to leg when standing for a long time. The most reliable way to find and measure a short leg is through a simple x-ray of the low back and pelvis.
Besides adjustments and multimodal therapies, Dr. Marks gave her a small shim to place in her right shoe to balance her pelvis. Using heel lifts was once a common day treatment by chiropractors. As times change, however many younger chiropractors have not learned the lost art.
“Sometimes the simple old school ways are best’ says Dr. Marks
Low back pain? Pain in the hips? Maybe you also have a short leg.
