Kieran was diagnosed with MS in 1998 at the age of 25. Initially, there were only a few symptoms and Kieran led a very active life.
In 2010, the MS flared up and has been progressing since then. By the end of 2011, Kieran was using a walking stick to help him to get about. He has used the walking stick continuously since then. One of the main areas of pain and impeded mobility is the right ankle. He and his partner have two small children, the youngest being two weeks old at the time of his treatment. He has tried many treatment modalities over the past few years.
He has significant sinus issues which he uses a spray twice daily for along with medication to alleviate the immediate need for the toilet/bladder issues. His left shoulder was rotated forwards and was approx 5 cm lower than his right shoulder. He suffers for a 'stiffness' in his upper lumbar area which is more evident and needs a good stretch after driving.
When Kieran arrived for his treatment (4 sessions over 4 days), he walked slowly and after the drive, he needed to stop for a rest approximately every 5-8 metres. There is a small step at the entrance to the clinic and this was an obstacle to be negotiated.
After the first session, Kieran reported that he hadn't needed to use his sinus spray or bladder medication in the evening. He also felt a lot 'steadier' on his feet.
After the second session, Kieran reported that his energy levels had improved and that he had been up in the night with the baby but didn't feel too tired afterwards. His lumbar pain had diminished considerably.
After Day 3's session, I received a message to say that he hadn't used his walking stick since he got home. He had walked to the shops and carried a small bag of shopping in one hand and 2 coffees in a carrier in the other back home with him.
He arrived for Day 4's session walking without his stick. He had walked from the car park without having to have any stops to rest. He climbed the stairs slowly but unaided. The anterior rotation had all but disappeared from his spine and his left shoulder was approx. 1 cm lower than the right.
The 2 week old had been awake a lot in the night and they had only had about 3 hours sleep. He says that normally that would have meant a rest day for him. However, he had been up since 0630 with both kids, preparing their breakfast, washing them and sorting them out whilst his partner slept. He hasn't needed to use the nasal spray or the bladder medication since Day 2.
Five days after the treatment, Kieran reported that he still has very good energy levels and is not using his walking stick to get about.
