Joanne's Story: Consider the story of  Joanne, a sporty, 22 year old student, who was involved in a serious car crash. Six months after the crash, she was still walking with the support of a crutch. She experienced intense spinal pain all day. As a result of the pain she had to drop out of university, as she could not sit let alone concentrate during lectures.

She was certain she would have to live with her pain for the rest of her life. Her family doctor gave her pain killers which had no effect on her pain.

After suffering for 3 months she started osteopathic treatment. The treatments were specific and increased in intensity, initially gently.

From the first treatment she saw an improvement in her symptoms. After 7 treatments she no long needed to walk with the aid of a crutch and soon felt her daily  functioning was returning to normal.

Three months later, Joanne went backpacking across America and is waiting to start university again in the next academic semester.
