My client Chris, came to me after traditional therapies were not helping to heal the pain in his back.

Tom is a semi-professional baseball player who sustained a stress fracture to one of his  lumbar vertebrae (in his lower back).  As a pro-athlete, he did ALL OF THE THINGS that were prescribed to him religiously.  And yet, after 6 months of work still had massive pain in his back leaving him unable to throw a ball, hit a ball, or run for base!

He didn’t skip even one rep of one exercise.  And still, no relief.

The pain kept him up at night, as it was hard to find a comfortable position.  Standing for too long hurt.  Turning at the waist hurt.  Everything hurt.

And oddly, after therapy, it seemed to hurt worse!

But what hurt the most for Chris was that he was missing his favorite thing, his life’s purpose even.  Baseball.

Unfortunately, Chris’ story isn’t unique.

Traditional therapies aren’t the best medicine for 100% of the people.  In fact, statistics show that with many injuries, traditional therapies fail at least 30% of the time.

And that’s why here at ELEMENTAL, we take a different approach.

In Tom’s case, we put our full-court-press healing approach in place.

His injured vertebrae needed healing blood flow.

So we prescribed our proprietary mix of hot/cold therapies in conjunction with a highly skilled bodyworker to help unravel his overuse pattern, so he could stand up straight and not be in pain anymore.

We also prescribed specific strength work to help strengthen the integrity of the joint space, instead of working in the same repetitive pattern that created the injury in the first place.

Also in our healing soup, we included anti-inflammatory nutrition protocols to add healing nutrients to his diet and decrease systemic inflammation in his whole body.

And the icing on the (sugar free) cake, is nervous system regulation.  Pain is a tricky animal, especially when it’s been around for a long time.  So we provide him with support for his stress and anxiety too, so that pain loop isn’t triggered by daily life events.

At ELEMENTAL, we include ALL OF THE ELEMENTS of healing in our work with our clients.
