Renee Overcomes Chronic Lower Back Pain and Avoids Surgery with SoftWave Therapy at Harcourt Chiropractic in York, PA

Renee, from Spring Grove, Pennsylvania, has been a nurse for 12 years, constantly on her feet, and also a fitness instructor and lifelong athlete. Despite her active lifestyle, she began experiencing chronic lower back pain that became so severe it would wake her up at night.
After struggling with pain for some time and trying various treatments with little success, Renee sought out help at Harcourt Chiropractic in York, PA. She was ready to find real relief, and Dr. Gary at Harcourt Chiropractic immediately developed a structured treatment plan to address her specific needs.
Dr. Gary discovered that Renee’s pelvic joint was misaligned, causing her hips to tilt and leading to muscles in her lower back overcompensating when she worked out. This misalignment was the primary cause of her pain.
To address the root cause of her discomfort, Dr. Gary incorporated SoftWave Therapy, a non-invasive treatment that helps to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and promote long-term recovery. This, paired with chiropractic adjustments, made all the difference in her recovery.
Before starting treatment at Harcourt Chiropractic, Renee had to decrease weights during her workouts and avoid exercises that aggravated her back. Despite trying remedies like heating pads and Epsom salt baths, she couldn't find lasting relief.
After beginning treatment, Renee’s pain drastically decreased, and she no longer woke up in the middle of the night. She was able to resume lifting weights, squatting with proper posture, and participating in the activities she loved.
“I saved myself from back surgery by coming to see Dr. Gary,” Renee shared, reflecting on how her treatment journey saved her from a more invasive procedure.
Thanks to SoftWave Therapy and Dr. Gary’s holistic approach, Renee is now living a pain-free and active lifestyle, feeling stronger and more confident in her body than ever before.
“Dr. Gary listens to you and treats you as an individual. His approach has been life-changing.”
