Dr Ryland Weum

I am Dr. Ryland Weum, the present CEO, Co-Founder, and Chiropractor of Performance Health Helena. Being a third-generation chiropractor from both sides of my family, I have a strong lineage in this field. I was raised in Arkansas after being born as the youngest of three children in Minnesota. My educational journey began at North Dakota State University and culminated at the University of Arkansas, where I obtained a degree in Biology. Subsequently, I was accepted into the Chiropractic Program at Parker University in Dallas, Texas, where I successfully earned my doctorate. I also pursued two additional bachelor's degrees at Parker University, a bachelor in Anatomy and a bachelor in Health & Wellness. Parker University's mission is to educate physicians in patient-centered chiropractic care, and I thrive in this approach as my foremost technique is providing compassionate service. I have decided to follow in the footsteps of my family and carry on the chiropractic legacy. Montana seemed like the perfect place to establish my practice, considering my deep affection for the great outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and wakeboarding are among my favorite pastimes, and I rarely partake in these activities without my loyal four-legged companion, Coulee. I eagerly anticipate meeting each and every one of you and hope to be a catalyst in your journey toward optimal health and wellness.

Case Study Scoliosis Treatment with Chiropractic Care at Performance Health Helena

Introduction

Meet Jessica Adams, a 16-year-old aspiring dancer who sought specialized care for her scoliosis at Performance Health Helena (performancehealthmt.com). Concerned about the impact of her spinal curvature on her dance career and overall well-being, Jessica turned to Dr. Ryland Weum DC, a highly skilled chiropractor with expertise in scoliosis management, for comprehensive treatment and support.

Background

Jessica had been diagnosed with scoliosis during a routine school screening. As a passionate dancer, she noticed that her scoliosis was starting to affect her dance technique and causing discomfort during rehearsals and performances. Determined to address her condition and pursue her dreams, Jessica sought the expertise of Dr. Ryland Weum DC, known for his successful approach to managing scoliosis at Performance Health Helena (performancehealthmt.com).

Seeking Chiropractic Care for Scoliosis

Upon arriving at Performance Health Helena (performancehealthmt.com), Jessica underwent a thorough evaluation with Dr. Ryland Weum DC. The examination included a detailed assessment of her spinal curvature, range of motion, postural alignment, and overall health history to understand the extent and impact of her scoliosis.

Assessment of Scoliosis

Dr. Weum carefully analyzed Jessica's X-rays and diagnosed her with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a common form of scoliosis that occurs during the adolescent growth spurt.

Personalized Chiropractic Treatment Plan

Dr. Ryland Weum DC designed a personalized chiropractic treatment plan tailored to address Jessica's specific scoliosis condition and support her dance aspirations.

Chiropractic Adjustments

Using specialized techniques, Dr. Weum performed precise chiropractic adjustments to correct misalignments in Jessica's spine caused by scoliosis. These adjustments aimed to improve spinal mobility, reduce muscle tension, and promote spinal curvature improvement.

Mirror Image® Postural Exercises

Jessica was introduced to Mirror Image® postural exercises, a set of targeted exercises designed to enhance spinal flexibility and strengthen the supporting muscles around her spine. These exercises were incorporated into her daily routine to improve posture and spinal alignment.

Bracing Consultation

As Jessica's scoliosis was still in the early stages, Dr. Weum recommended a consultation with an orthopedic specialist for a bracing evaluation. The brace was prescribed to help prevent further progression of the spinal curvature during Jessica's growth phase.

Progress Monitoring and Support

Over the course of several months, Jessica diligently followed her chiropractic treatment plan under the guidance of Dr. Ryland Weum DC. Regular progress check-ups allowed Dr. Weum to monitor her improvements, assess brace fit, and make necessary adjustments to her treatment plan.

Conclusion

Jessica's case study showcases the positive outcomes achievable with chiropractic management of scoliosis under the care of Dr. Ryland Weum DC at Performance Health Helena. Through a combination of chiropractic adjustments, Mirror Image® postural exercises, and brace support, Jessica experienced improvements in her spinal curvature and gained confidence in pursuing her dance aspirations.

Chiropractic helps a little with back-related leg pain

Chiropractic is a popular alternative therapy for low back pain.

Chiropractic manipulation of the spine provides limited and short-term relief from back-related leg pain, reports a study in Annals of Internal Medicine. Shooting nerve pain in the legs, or sciatica, is a common problem for men with back pain related to spinal disc problems or narrowing of the space around the spinal cord (spinal stenosis).

Should you see a chiropractor for low back pain?

If you've ever seen a doctor for back pain, you're not alone. An estimated 85% of people experience back pain severe enough to see a doctor for at some point in their life. Yet despite how common it is, the precise cause of pain is often unclear. And a single, best treatment for most low back pain is unknown. For these reasons, doctors' recommendations tend to vary. "Standard care" includes a balance of rest, stretching and exercise, heat, pain relievers, and time. Some doctors also suggest trying chiropractic care. The good news is that no matter what treatment is recommended, most people with a recent onset of back pain are better within a few weeks — often within a few days.
