He Was Told He Needed L5 Surgery… Then This Happened

This patient traveled from Montana to Los Angeles after years of low back pain, disc herniation, and sciatica. He was told L5 disc surgery was his only option. After a full Gonstead evaluation and X-ray analysis, Dr. Rahim identified a predisposing sacral and tailbone injury creating instability and nerve pressure at L5. Using specific Gonstead adjustments and the Hi-Lo table to achieve a deep, sustained correction, the spine was stabilized so the disc could begin healing. Over three visits: • Visit 1: S4 and T6 • Visit 2: C6 and L5 • Visit 3: C1 and L5 Today, he reports 90% improvement, better mobility, and a dramatically improved quality of life. This is why finding the root cause matters. #Gonstead #HerniatedDisc #SciaticaRelief #AvoidSurgery #SpineHealth #ChiropracticCare #LowBackPain #DrRahim
