Testimonial: Meaghan

Meaghan on the right, notice the matching Kinesio tape on her knees!

My name is Meaghan Kwiatek I recently became a patient of Dr Mui after a friend referred me. I was desperate. It was a week before the Boston Marathon, I was out on my last training run and my right knee gave out  13 miles into a 17 mile run. I was in so much pain I had to call for a ride home, which I had never done before. Ever! 

I have had knee issues in the past. In college I ran cross-country and waitressed, which was a lot on my knees. The doctors told me it was just overuse and to stay off them. A runner doesn't isn't happy with that answer! 

    It was a week before the Boston Marathon (one of my life time aspirations) and I was out of commission, desperate and depressed.  I called Dr Mui and explained the situation, expecting him to say there wasn't much he could do. But instead he gave me an appointment and said he would do his best to get me through the marathon. I went to see Dr Mui 3 times that week. Dr Mui used the Graston technique/F.A.K.T.R and tools to work on my knees. He also noticed I had a leg discrepancy. My left femur is slightly longer than my right. He gave me an inexpensive heel lift to fix the problem. How come no one noticed that before! I had been to a couple doctors in the past who had over looked it. When Dr Mui pointed it out it was easily noticed.          

     I am happy to report that I finished the Boston Marathon in 5:06:17 pain free (in my knees of course, marathons hurt). Even after beating on them for 26.2 miles! They still did not hurt the next day. I feel so lucky to have found Dr Mui and the Graston technique. I want to tell everyone what amazing work he does!!

Case Study Mike: Marathon Runner

Mike visited Mui Chiropractic and Wellness Center two months before running the 114^th annual Boston Marathon.  Five months prior to the Boston Marathon, Mike ran the Chicago Marathon with an impressive qualifying time of 3:02:12. Looking to continue to improve his time, Mike strenuously trained for the Boston race.  While doing so, Mike experienced signs of wear and tear.  He came to the Wellness Center with hip pain (bilateral Iliotibial band syndrome), pain in his shin splints (bilateral medial tibial stress syndrome), and a collection of minor issues caused from the stress of training.  Mike received a series of treatments to address his pain.  His plan included chiropractic manipulation, Graston Technique®, and a stretching/strengthening program for him to perform out of the Wellness Center.

Below are the results from the two race:

on Technique will be added to your treatment plan if the doctor feels you will benefit from it.

Our chiropractic care enabled Mike to train without pain. Coupling his treatments with his hard work, Mike was able to cut an impressive 15 minutes from his total time!  That is an 8% improvement in only 5 months time! 

Mui Chiropractic and Wellness Center is very proud of Mike and his acomplishments, and we are going to be here when he goes for the gold in 2011.
