Nolan's Story

Back Pain Nearly Gone and Back to Baseball

The pain in my lower left back brought me to Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy originally. After my first x-rays, I learned that I was in a little worse shape than I thought. I had been playing baseball, and my back hurt too much to swing a bat or throw hard. I had quit my fall baseball team because of my back, and it was making work much harder. I was painting for my uncle, but my back hurt too much to lift heavy ladders or big buckets of paint. Since I started going to OSST my back pain has gone from a 5 to a 2, and everyone tells me I’ve gotten a lot taller too. I’m taller and stronger and looking forward to baseball this spring.   — Nolan Davis
