Military Veteran Achieves Major Pain Reduction and Functional Recovery Through Chiropractic Care at Ritchie Chiropractic & Wellness
Charlotte, NC - October 2025 - Ritchie Chiropractic & Wellness today announced a remarkable patient outcome from a recent 36-visit chiropractic care plan. A 59-year-old male patient and former military service member, suffering from chronic lower-back and right-leg pain, experienced a pain reduction from 7/10 to 1/10, full restoration of leg muscle dexterity, and a complete return to active living-including running and daily workouts-after completing his customized chiropractic program.Initial Condition and History
The patient began care on June 19, 2025, presenting with acute, frequent, moderate lower-back pain and right-leg weakness affecting muscle control and coordination. The pain had persisted for nearly two years, aggravated by sitting eight hours per day at a desk job and a prior lifting injury.
At the start of care:
Pain Level: 7/10 (VAS)
Pain Type: Constant ache, radiating to right leg with muscle fatigue
Functional Impact: Bending, walking, workouts, and daily chores limited
Posture: Anterior head carriage
Spinal Findings: Multiple restrictions across cervical, thoracic, lumbar, pelvis, and sacrum
Muscle Tone: Hypertonic through lumbar and posterior neck regions
Orthopedic Testing: Pain noted during Kemp's, Bechterew's, Valsalva, and Patrick FABER tests
The patient's long-term goal was to regain strength, mobility, and the ability to participate in a 10K run for his 60th birthday.
Treatment Plan
Dr. Ritchie and the team designed a 36-visit plan emphasizing laser therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and muscle stimulation (STIM).
Phase 1: Laser Therapy + Chiropractic Adjustments (first 12 visits)
Phase 2: Ongoing Adjustments + STIM for muscle tone and postural correction
Functional retraining to restore movement patterns and strengthen stability
Results and Progress
Re-Exam #1
Pain decreased: 7/10 → 1-2/10
Right-leg function: Full muscle dexterity restored
Mobility: Able to run 3-3.5 miles pain-free and perform workouts daily
Posture: Improved self-correction and sitting alignment
Re-Exam #2
Pain stable at: 2/10 (none at rest)
Function: Can lift, bend, carry, and complete household activities without limitation
Posture: Improved nervous-system awareness and self-monitoring
Final Outcome
By the end of care:
Pain reduced from 7/10 to 1/10
Right-leg strength and mobility fully restored
Daily activities and exercise resumed pain-free
Postural awareness maintained
Transitioned to maintenance care (twice per month)
"This patient's journey shows what's possible when precision chiropractic care meets consistency," said Dr. Ritchie, lead chiropractor at Ritchie Chiropractic & Wellness. "He didn't just get out of pain-he got his life and confidence back."
