Testimonial of the month: Anterior Compartment Syndrome, Shin Splints: August 2014 JK had all the signs of Shin Splints and ACS. The pain was isolated to ~ 6 square inches just above his left ankle. Once I ruled out any red flags for treatment I worked from his feet to his hips in fixing biomechanical distortions, pronation in both feet, and identifying which muscles were imbalanced and not firing. The treatment plan was 2 times per week for 3 weeks consisting of spinal and extremity adjustments, soft tissue manipulation, cold laser therapy, muscle work and FSM Microcurrent for pain. Each visit was approximately 50 minutes because his life and work were being affected by his pain level and JK wanted to get through the problem as quickly as possible. Pain was reduced immediately after the first visit and progressed quickly over the 2 weeks with the area of pain getting smaller each visit. We provided JK some homework and stretches which accelerated the healing process. Follow up treatment at this point is 3 more visits as he increases the load on area to make certain he can do all of the activities he wants without pain. After that he has the option to call us when he needs us or he can come in once a month for wellness appointments.
