Mrs. Tran Thi Hao, 81 years old, lives in Hanoi. She has been suffering from pain for many years, but recently extremely acute pain makes it even more difficult for her to move around and she constantly needed help from relatives in her daily life. Mrs. Hao was in so much pain that even a light breath can cause shooting pains through her whole body.
When Mrs. Hao came to ACC clinic, her treatments landed in the good hands of Dr. Erik Waardenburg. Through examination and MRI images, Mrs. Hao was initially diagnosed with a severe condition of spondylolisthesis:
– L5 sacrolizacion.
– Collapsed vertebral.
– Spinal edema at T12, L1, L2.
– Herniated discs at vertebrae L3/L4, L4/L5 caused spinal stenosis and nerve compression.
Mrs. Hao was provided explanation on the diagnosis and after understanding her situation, she was assigned a treatment plan which included Chiropractic adjustments combined with physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
– Chiropractic therapy is prescribed to release compression of the misaligned vertebrae on the nerve and stimulating the body’s self-healing mechanism.
After 3 weeks of treatment, Mrs. Hao was happy to have recovery of more than 80% and could walk easily without any assistance. She shared that it was great to not have to take any medicine during the treatment, and sincerely thanked the doctors and staff at ACC.
Mrs. Hao also encourages people not to hesitate in seeking proper treatment if they are suffering from any pains.
