Meet Kristin Odell, a dedicated CrossFit enthusiast whose journey to overcoming debilitating mid to lower back pain is nothing short of inspiring. Kristin’s story at Juniper Physical Therapy & Fitness highlights our innovative approach to pain relief and recovery, showcasing the power of personalized care and advanced technology.
The Beginning of Kristin’s Journey
Kristin’s lower back pain began after a long car ride and progressively worsened despite various treatments, including massages, chiropractic adjustments, and medications. By the time she came to us, her pain was deep, throbbing, and rated at a 6-7/10. Sitting made it worse, while movement offered some relief.
Discovering the Root Cause
Through a thorough evaluation, we discovered that Kristin’s pain was musculoskeletal, stemming from underlying issues in her left hip and glutes. “I didn’t notice how dysfunctional my left hip and glutes were until we turned them back on with the NEUBIE,” Kristin shared. This advanced neuro-reeducation device played a crucial role in her recovery, helping to identify and target weak areas that were lingering from a prior foot injury.
The NEUBIE Experience
The NEUBIE (Neuro-Bio-Electric Stimulator) uses direct current (DC) to stimulate the nervous system and accelerate the body's natural healing processes. Unlike traditional electrical stimulation, NEUBIE optimizes the connection between the brain and muscles, helping to re-educate and balance muscle groups, reduce pain, and enhance performance. This innovative approach allowed us to precisely target Kristin’s problem areas and facilitate significant improvements in her condition.
Transformative Treatment and Progress
At Juniper, we combined manual therapy techniques with the NEUBIE machine. Here’s how Kristin’s treatment unfolded:
Session 1
Manual Therapy: Soft tissue mobilization and dry needling with electrical stimulation.
Therapeutic Exercises: Self-myofascial release, QL stretches, hip flexor stretches, and standing lat stretches.
