Nogizaka YM Clinic
Case series
Case 1: Woman in her 70s
Chronic back pain, stiff shoulders, and associated knee pain
Gait disturbance
I have suffered from chronic back pain and stiff shoulders for decades.
Gait disturbance due to knee pain.
Although rehabilitation was performed during the medical period, there was no improvement.
Visit a doctor.
After treatment, lower back pain and stiff shoulders VAS 0cm/10cm (pain disappeared)
Walking ability is also improving.
Posture change by fixed camera
Case 2: A woman living overseas who had chronic pain and a feeling of blockage in the back, sides, and front of her neck, which did not improve easily in her home country, came to the clinic because there was no treatment she wanted (treatment that did not use drugs such as steroids).She did not like injections, but she wanted treatment, so we performed skeletal adjustment in stages over three days with breaks in between.
On the final day, the degree of improvement in pain was evaluated using a VAS and was 0/10cm, indicating that the symptoms had improved.
Case 3: A man in his 50s who had received knee treatment from another clinic. He no longer had knee pain. After discussing the relationship between body balance and the burden on the knees, he came to the clinic hoping for skeletal balance adjustment. As he enjoys running as a hobby, we performed skeletal adjustment (around the pelvis) as preventive medicine to prevent future knee, hip, and ankle pain.
Case 4: Woman in her 50s
Chief complaint: Lower back pain, right buttock, and right thigh pain, unable to walk.
History of current illness: One month ago, the patient had severe pain in the lower back, buttocks, and right thigh, and was unable to turn over in bed. He visited a nearby orthopedic clinic, but an X-ray revealed that he had lumbar spondylolisthesis. He was prescribed a compress and painkillers, but there was no improvement. After that, the lower back pain and right thigh pain continued, so he visited our hospital.
Physical findings: Severe pain when shaking the right thigh from the outside, strong tenderness in the upper right buttock, right pelvis TYPE 1 (our own evaluation criteria)
Treatment progress: The pelvis was adjusted by injection on the same day, and the range of motion around the hip joint was improved, and the symptoms improved. Pain was reduced to about 30% on the VAS scale. When the patient first visited the hospital, she was dragging her legs, turning over in bed, and was unable to lift her hips off the bed, but after treatment she was able to do these things with ease. She has been followed up as an outpatient since then, and there has been no recurrence.
Lumbar spondylolisthesis
Auxiliary lines are added to align the pelvis.
Comparison of x-rays before and after treatment.
We compare the sacral area together and the position of the lumbar vertebrae in relation to the pelvis.
The excessive lordosis of the lumbar vertebrae has decreased, and the misalignment of the lumbar vertebrae at the site of spondylolisthesis appears to have decreased.
Case 5: Female
Chief complaint: Right lower back pain, discomfort in the right buttock and right thigh, and a strong sense of discomfort when leaning forward while sitting in a chair at work. A feeling of tension and stiffness in the front of both sides of the neck.
Treatment: Pelvic correction by injection, shoulder rounding correction, release of spinal contracture
Case 6: A man in his 80s
Chief Complaint: Tearing pain in the front of the right neck and right shoulder that has continued for nine months. Also has chronic severe lower back pain.
Treatment: Pelvic adjustment and right scapular adjustment by injection. Immediately after treatment, symptoms improved by about 30% with a VAS score of 30mm/110mm, and turning in bed, walking, and shoulder movement also improved.
Overall: Because the deformation of the spine is severe, there are limitations to what can be done to correct it, but it appears that the balance has been improved to the point where no symptoms are present due to the deformed skeleton.
Case 7: Female Complaint: Stiff shoulders, back pain Treatment: Pelvic adjustment, increased range of motion of left shoulder blade
Case 7: Female. Chief complaint: Shoulder joint hurts and cannot move.
History of current illness: During hospitalization for trauma treatment, the right upper extremity was immobilized and no rehabilitation was performed, resulting in shoulder contracture. After that, the patient underwent rehabilitation at a general hospital and a local orthopedic clinic for four months. The range of motion of the shoulder joint did not improve and the pain continued, so the patient visited our hospital.
The range of motion of the scapula improved on the day of the first consultation, and the patient entered a recovery period. After that, he underwent rehabilitation locally for a month, and then his shoulder joint range of motion returned to almost normal simply through everyday life, with no special rehabilitation at the clinic.When the patient visited us for the first time in six months, there was a small amount of adhesion, so a fascial release injection was administered, and the range of motion improved to full, with no difference between the left and right sides.
*Mosaic is used to hide the injection site as some people may be uncomfortable with the area.
Case 7: Female Chief complaint: Pain in both knee joints, severe bowed legs History of illness: The patient had bowed legs for many years, which gradually worsened. She had been receiving symptomatic treatment at a local hospital, but the pain did not improve. She was recommended to have an artificial joint to treat osteoarthritis of the knee at a general hospital, but did not wish to have surgery and continued treatment at the local hospital, but her symptoms worsened, so she visited our hospital.
Treatment: Pelvic adjustment, correction of muscle balance around the knee, and taping fixation were performed, which improved the pain and almost completely eliminated the pain when walking.
