Acute back pain can be excruciatingly painful and cause an array of mobility difficulties. Lumbar flexion typically is a compensation mechanism for the body to alleviate some pressure off the nerve. Specific adjustment is delivered to correct the position of vertebrae and remove nerve interference.

Day 1: Difficulty standing upright while standing/walking with sharp pain and numbness into the right leg.
Day 3: Ability to stand upright for a short amount of time, still with sharp pain and numbness into the right leg.
Day 7: Standing upright with minimal numbness into the right leg.

Always keep in mind that healing takes time ☘️
