Powerlifter With Chronic Pain… The REAL Problem Was Hidden

Jeremy, a competitive powerlifter, traveled from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to see Dr. Rahim after dealing with chronic low back pain for several years. In addition to his low back pain, he was also experiencing: • Knee pain • Mid back discomfort • Shoulder and extremity issues • Concern about possible scoliosis After being told by a physical therapist that he may have scoliosis, Jeremy wanted a full and specific analysis to understand what was really going on. During this visit, Dr. Rahim performed: ✔️ Detailed consultation ✔️ Full spinal examination ✔️ Full spine X-ray analysis What was found was critical. Instead of a primary scoliosis issue, Dr. Rahim identified: • Coccyx misalignment (foundation issue) • Pelvic imbalance creating compensation • Misalignment and nerve pressure at: • Coccyx • T7 (mid-back) • C7 (neck) Additionally, multiple extremity imbalances were found involving: • TMJ • Shoulders • Hands • Knees • Ankles On the knee specifically, Dr. Rahim identified: ➡️ Posterior tibia (external side) A capsule reduction was performed before a precise adjustment, followed by corrective taping in sequence to help the correction hold. This case highlights an important principle: 👉 Many “scoliosis-like” presentations are actually compensations from foundational misalignment, not true structural scoliosis. This is Part 1 of Jeremy’s journey, where the real cause is uncovered. 📍 Los Angeles | Dubai 📌 Gonstead Chiropractic Gonstead Wellness is located in Los Angeles, CA.
