Deviated Septum to Knee Injury: How Soccer Affected Daniel’s Entire Spine (Part 3)

Daniel originally traveled from Austin, Texas to Los Angeles seeking help for a 20-year deviated septum that caused chronic breathing and sleep issues. What he didn’t expect was to uncover how a soccer injury had affected his entire body—far beyond his nose. In his first visits with Dr. Rahim, a detailed Gonstead chiropractic examination revealed multiple underlying issues, including a tailbone injury, pelvic misalignment, hip imbalance, TMJ dysfunction, mid-back and neck involvement, and an old knee injury that forced Daniel to stop playing soccer altogether. Even more surprising, the deviated septum he had lived with for two decades also traced back to that same soccer trauma. In Part Three, Daniel reports significant improvements: • Better breathing • Deeper, more restful sleep • Improved spinal alignment • Smoother walking • Little to no body pain During this visit, Dr. Rahim continued his assessment and identified misalignment and nerve pressure at L5, T3, and C1. Care also focused on Daniel’s deviated septum, TMJ, shoulders, ankles, and knees. Dr. Rahim spent extra time explaining Daniel’s knee misalignment using a knee model, then performed a lateral capsular reduction before delivering a precise Gonstead extremity adjustment—an essential step to help the correction hold long-term. Daniel was extremely happy with his progress and plans to return to Los Angeles in a few months for follow-up care. This case highlights how old sports injuries can create widespread compensation patterns throughout the body—and how specific, corrective care can restore function from the foundation up. 📍 Dr. Rahim Gonstead Chiropractor – Los Angeles 📅 Follow Daniel’s continued healing journey in upcoming visits. 👉 Watch Part 1 : https://youtu.be/YtXelNXabVU 👉 Watch Part 2 : https://youtu.be/YtXelNXabVU Gonstead Wellness is located in Los Angeles, CA.
