Don’t base your value on time

Results - not time - are how to measure how effective your treatments are. Never base your rates in time.

I would take any mention of time OFF your website. If you want to include wording to the effect that an initial visit may be up to a certain amount of time, that’s one thing. But you aren’t an insurance company and your treatments should not be attached to a pre determined amount of time. That’s setting an expectation that you don’t want the patient to have

I had more happy patients when I spent less time with them but used skills that were much more effective.

Believe me, patients don’t want to be in your clinic for an hour or more. Unless you serve alcohol and food.

Caveat - you don’t need to spend 10 years learning how to be effective and deliver exceptional results. We have the training to get you there much faster.

L Leg and Foot pain

@Exstoreman 62 year old female with Left Lateral Leg Pain. Constant pain radiating down lateral left thigh and calf into foot with numbness and cold feeling primarily in big toe and pins-and-needles sensation throughout upper foot. Whole foot is very sensitive. Leg feels heavy.

Began 2 years ago with sudden severe low back pain. Toes in L foot suddenly went numb and went up side of leg.

See attached MRI report.

She's otherwise very healthy and has NO LBP whatsoever. Walks 4-5 miles/day. Skis (and notices it’s harder to turn with left leg).

Have treated her 5 times so far (weekly), treating MPs and doing renovation with no improvement in symptoms except for after the 3rd visit her leg felt a bit lighter, but just for a few hours. Also, SLR is improved.

Wondering if there's anything else I can try? MRI mentioned drop foot (no symptoms now) - should I treat the peroneal nerve (as discussed in recent LIVE)? Other ideas?

1st EXSTORE Scan:

ROM:
SLR: L-50 / R-60 (limited by hamstring tightness)

Inhibition:
