Twisting ankle resulted in nerve damage

Horse Riding accident followed by trauma injury whilst walking her dog and twisting her ankle resulted in nerve damage.

The result was inability to balance and control the left leg. Coordination was also an issue for this very proactive lady who enjoys running and Tap Dancing . Doctors , physio and exercises for a prolonged period of time had no constructive clinical  improvement. Why was my patient’s question ?. Injury had caused sporting and recreational efforts to be very arduous for my patient. Rachel , saw and seized after the investigation of the benefits of sigma Q .  Sigma Q ,based on frequencies working in the nervous system  aiding motor neuron function . A full examination showed it was a nerve related problem with the Babinski sign being reactive. ( This showed a previous injury to the Spinal Cord). Thoughts were confirmed  following my examination. Treatment was started with  feet being placed on mats and frequency working into the ankles. Frequency working through the fascia in the chronic ankle pathology ,gripping the ankle with supportive ultrasound to clear scar tissue. Yes, the Babinski sign was very reactive when we started treatment but it has significantly been reduced with treatment with sigma Q.

Proprioception, balance and coordination have been improved greatly.

Rachel wrote the following

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your help over the past few weeks.
For years I’d struggled with my left leg—it was always harder to control than the right. Whether I was out running or at my weekly tap dancing class, I constantly felt like I was aiming that leg rather than moving with control. Things came to a head in June while I was running on holiday, when my leg collapsed and I fell.
Although I’d seen various physios over the years, the problem never really went away. As I was training for a 16km run in September, I reached out to you to see if you could help. From the very first session, you took time and care to go through everything in detail, and you quickly identified nerve damage from a horse riding accident years ago as the probable cause.
Within just a few sessions I noticed a real difference. I now have much better control of my left leg and foot, which has been fantastic for my running. My balance has improved too, and tapping with my left foot is so much easier than before!
Most of all, I’ve appreciated your encouragement and positive approach. I was worried you might tell me to stop running altogether, but instead you’ve given me the tools and confidence to keep training safely and I’m now able to run between 5 – 15km with confidence three times a week.”
