✅ Clinical Case:

Knee instability after ACL surgery – solution through the scar

Patient: Male, 25 years old, amateur football player in 3rd division

History:

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction 2 years ago using hamstring graft (semitendinosus and semimembranosus). Rehabilitation included insurance-covered therapy, private physiotherapy, and personal training.

​

🤕 Persistent symptoms

  • Sensation of instability and overload after training or matches

  • Episodes of swelling, joint warmth, and mild numbness in the operated knee

  • Recovery after 2–3 days of rest, but persistent feeling that the knee is “not completely right”

 

🔎 Clinical and neuromuscular evaluation

  • Orthopedic knee stability tests: negative (knee stable)

  • Graft harvest site (hamstrings) with reduced sensitivity and local discomfort

  • Applied kinesiology test: marked weakness in hamstring muscles on the operated side, although general strength appeared normal

 

💡 Specific treatment

  • High-power laser therapy (15W) applied to the graft scar during 4 sessions

  • Result: full recovery of adaptive muscle strength in the affected muscle group

 

⚽️ Functional outcome

  • Patient returned to regular training and competition

  • No pain, no overload, and no subjective instability after exertion

 

🧠 Conclusion

In ACL surgery cases, persistent symptoms may not be related to the joint itself but rather to scars affecting muscle function. Advanced neuromuscular assessment and treatments such as high-power laser therapy can make a decisive difference in the complete recovery of athletes.

✅ Clinical Case:

Chronic fatigue, dizziness, and multisystem dysfunction – origin in the wisdom teeth

Patient: Female, 25 years old, student

 

🤕 Persistent symptoms:

  • Dizziness upon standing

  • Chronic fatigue syndrome

  • Recurrent heart palpitations

  • Insomnia and difficulty falling asleep

  • Knee joint pain

  • Craniomandibular dysfunction

  • Frequent cervical spine blockages

  • Unable to work for 6 months due to symptom severity

 

🔍 Neuromuscular and functional evaluation

  • Applied kinesiology revealed generalized deficits in muscular contractility throughout the musculoskeletal system

  • Hunecke neural test identified bioelectrical interferences in all four impacted wisdom teeth

 

🦷 Interdisciplinary therapeutic intervention

  • Extraction of all four wisdom teeth by the dentist

  • Subsequent osteopathic treatment to integrate structural and neurological changes

 

💪 Outcome

  • Complete disappearance of systemic symptoms: improved sleep, cardiovascular stabilization, resolution of dizziness, and restored energy

  • Patient remains stable and functional to this day

 

 

🧠 Conclusion

This case demonstrates how dental interference can affect the entire body system, causing complex chronic symptoms. A holistic diagnostic approach – such as applied kinesiology and integrative osteopathy – allows identification and treatment of the true root cause of the problem.

✅ Clinical Case:

Chronic nausea and fatigue after hormonal treatment – recovery with an integrative approach

Patient: Female, 33 years old, athlete, marathon runner

Medical history:

  • Lactose intolerance

  • Breast cancer at age 29 (mastectomy and chemotherapy)

  • Recent diagnosis: 6 cm ovarian cyst

 

🤢 Symptoms after hormonal treatment

  • Pelvic pain similar to premenstrual discomfort

  • Severe nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting after taking progesterone prescribed by her gynecologist

  • Digestive discomfort after meals and extreme drowsiness, unable to work

  • No improvement under conventional gynecological follow-up

 

🔎 Integrative therapeutic approach

       Three key factors were identified and addressed simultaneously:

  • Post-traumatic stress syndrome (emotional consequences of cancer)

  • Undiagnosed chronic sinusitis

  • Visceral dysfunction (digestive system)

 

💪 Outcome

  • Complete resolution of nausea, fatigue, and digestive disorders

  • Functional recovery and return to active and athletic life

  • No need for further pharmacological treatments

 

🧠 Conclusion

This case demonstrates how chronic symptoms unresponsive to conventional medicine can have multifactorial causes. An integrative approach that addresses the nervous system, emotions, and visceral function may be key to achieving real recovery.

✅ Clinical Case:

Chronic pain in shoulder, elbow, and wrist – unexpected dental origin

Patient: 35-year-old barista, trains CrossFit 4 times per week

Reason for consultation:

Persistent pain in the right shoulder, elbow (lateral epicondylitis), and wrist, with functional limitation and worsening at night

 

History:

8 weeks on sick leave. Previous treatments with physiotherapy, osteopathy, and infiltrations without lasting improvement

 

🔍 Comprehensive evaluation

  • Neuromuscular test (applied kinesiology) revealed generalized weakness in the right arm muscles

  • Oral examination identified a retained dental root in the upper right molar (tooth 16)

  • Electromagnetic field test (150 Hz, 6 mT) applied to the maxillary region showed an immediate 80% improvement in arm muscle strength

 

🦷 Diagnosis and treatment

  • Panoramic X-ray confirmed active inflammation around the dental root

  • Extraction performed by collaborating dentist

  • 15 days later: 90% recovery of adaptive muscle strength and 50% reduction in pain

 

💪 Subsequent rehabilitation

       Combination of advanced techniques applied:

  • Personalized physiotherapy

  • Structural and visceral osteopathy

  • High-power laser therapy

  • Individualized, targeted electromagnetic field therapy

    Goal: reduce inflammation, restore mobility, and prevent relapses

 

🧠 Conclusion

This case highlights the importance of a holistic and interdisciplinary approach in physiotherapy. Sometimes the origin of pain is not where it seems. For persistent, unexplained shoulder, elbow, or wrist pain, a comprehensive evaluation can make all the difference.

✅ Clinical Case:

Hip pain in elite triathlete – origin in dental bite

Patient: Male, 24 years old, competitive triathlete (marathon PB: 2h30min)

 

Symptoms:

  • Bilateral hip pain after a saddle change 4 weeks ago

  • Limitation during cycling and running training

 

🔍 Neuromuscular and clinical evaluation

  • Applied kinesiology test revealed deficits in pelvic muscle activation (reduced reactive contractility)

  • Rest of the body musculature responded normally

  • Craniosacral assessment identified an early dental contact between the incisors, disrupting neuromuscular balance

 

🦷 Therapeutic approach

  • Manual treatment of mandibular muscles (secondary issue)

  • Specific work on the affected hip muscles

  • Immediate result: full recovery of pelvic muscle function and complete disappearance of symptoms

 

🦷 Additional recommendation

  • Dental evaluation to restore proper bite alignment and prevent relapses

 

🧠 Conclusion

In high-performance athletes, muscular dysfunctions may have non-obvious origins, such as dental occlusion problems. A global, interdisciplinary approach makes it possible to detect and resolve blockages that impair physical performance.
