A young woman who had severe pain in her left hip, associated to running track hurdles, with very limited range of motion came in.  On examination her left hip range of motion was 45 degrees of flexion (right hip was 100 degrees). and 30 degrees of abduction (pulling the leg out to the side while prone which was 100 degrees on the right). We noted a 3 inch scar on her medial right knee (not left), it was from a childhood bone cyst surgery.  Testing the scar tissue energetically, a simple muscle test , revealed that it was still "active" not completely healed energetically.  Even though it had been 16 years ago.  Cold laser to the scar for a minute and then we retested her scar energetically.  It was non-active.  A retest of her left hip range of motion was startling.  120 degrees of abduction and 110 degrees of flexion!  When she got up off the table she said she had never felt like that in her life.  Pain was resolved without anything else to be done.

A 65 year old male with gouty arthritis

Recently one morning a patient came in, in exceptional pain in his left foot.  Previously he had been in our office for left leg and foot pain due to a lower back condition pinching a nerve called sciatica.  However, this was non-traumatic and he had not had that pain in over a year,in fact he was just in for chiropractic adjustment a few weeks earlier.. On examination his left foot was very painful to touch and slightly red with mild signs of swelling.  This is typical of a condition called gouty arthritis.  A condition of excess uric acid formation in your body.  It is so high in the blood the concentration of uric acid in the joints reaches a level of crystallization.   This feels like ground glass in your joints. Ouch!  Brian Jones our naturopath had some suggestions for dietary changes and some enzyme nutrition to help get the uric acid levels down.  The following day he reported that "the pain was a 10 when I came in, and today its a 1."
