For many years, Lynne had been managing her chronic low back pain through regular treatment sessions at our clinic.
Patient Background:
For many years, Lynne had been managing her chronic low back pain through regular treatment sessions at our clinic. We tried traditional hands-on physiotherapy care initially providing significant relief and maintaining her quality of life. However, during the past two years, her condition began to deteriorate significantly, becoming increasingly painful and notably resistant to our conventional treatment approaches, signalling the need for a different solution.
Clinical Presentation:
Comprehensive diagnostic imaging revealed concerning results: significant multi-level disc degeneration throughout the spine, extensive joint degenerative changes, and forward vertebral slippage, all contributing to severe sciatica symptoms. These progressive conditions had severely impacted Lynne’s daily mobility, making even simple tasks like walking extremely difficult and causing persistent, high levels of daily pain that significantly affected her quality of life.
Treatment Options:
After careful consideration of her condition, Lynne faced two distinct treatment paths: traditional surgical fusion of the affected vertebrae or our innovative combined disc and joint MBST therapy approach. Drawing from our extensive experience with similar complex cases, we recommended starting with the less invasive MBST approach. This offered the potential to naturally heal and stabilise her condition without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
Treatment Outcomes After Three Months:
- Significant reduction in both back and leg pain
- Marked improvement in mobility
- Pain reduced to minimal levels
- Daily activities became manageable again
- Quality of life substantially improved
Prognosis:
While these three-month results have already demonstrated remarkable improvement in Lynne’s condition, further stabilisation and healing are expected to continue over the next nine months of the recovery process. Based on our experience with similar cases and Lynne’s positive response to treatment, the long-term prognosis is very positive for maintaining these improvements.
Conclusion:
This compelling case clearly demonstrates MBST’s potential as a powerful, non-invasive alternative to surgical intervention in complex spinal conditions. The therapy’s sophisticated ability to stimulate natural healing processes in both disc and joint tissue offers renewed hope. Hope for patients facing similar challenging conditions who prefer to avoid surgical intervention.
