The Story of Jacob: A Football Recovery

As a college athlete, senior year can be bittersweet. There is the excitement of finally finishing your education and moving on to bigger and better things, accompanied by the sadness of knowing it is your final year of competing with your teammates.

For Jacob, not only was he feeling the sadness of it being his last year, but he was frustrated that his low back pain and SI pain kept him from competing at all. When Jacob sustained an injury in football that sent him to the sidelines, he was at a loss for what to do. He wanted to do what it took to improve the pain so he could play out his final season. He had tried Injections, Dry Needling, and Physical Therapy with no relief. His coach referred him to TOV, and he decided to give Chiropractic care a chance.

To give him the best care possible, we did a full assessment to get down to the root cause of his concerns. Using our insight technology, as well as X-rays, it was discovered that he had nerve interference in the lower back region, along with severe muscle tension and a compromised spinal structure. All this together led to discomfort within the lower back and kept him from performing without pain on the field.

Jacob’s number one goal was to get back to playing the game as soon as possible and compete during his senior year. He got started immediately with chiropractic adjustments and saw improvement quickly. By one month into care, he was 50% better and getting to play out the remainder of his senior year!
