Experiences with Probodyone by FLI
Treatment of Bruno, a Football Player, for Lumbar Disc Herniation with Low Back Pain and Sciatica with Lasegue at 20 Degrees: Opted for Doc Fabrice’s Method Instead of Surgery, Treated with Osteopathy, Chiropractic Care, Micronutrition, Ergonomics, Physical Therapy, Coaching, and Re-Athleticization.
Bruno, the patient, shares his experience of dealing with a severe lumbar disc herniation at the L5-S1 level, which caused intense pain and significantly limited his mobility. Despite being advised to undergo surgery, Bruno decided to delay it and traveled to Barcelona. Upon arrival in August from Argentina, his condition worsened, and by September, he could barely walk.
When he visited Fabrice, the osteopath, he could hardly walk two blocks and was in severe pain. Fabrice reassured him that they would work through it together. Through treatment, including osteopathic and chiropractic manipulations, Bruno’s condition gradually improved. Initially, he could only lift his leg to 20 degrees, and bending his back was almost impossible. However, after treatment, he regained full mobility and was able to walk and move normally again.
Bruno expresses his gratitude for the significant recovery and improvement in his quality of life.
Patient Story | Probodyone by FLI
Fabrice: Thank you very much for sharing a bit of your experience. When you first came in, and I’m going to mark this a little bit, what was the situation like?
Bruno: You told me, “Look, we’re going to treat you, and when we’re done, we’ll make a little video to tell your story.” Is that right? Do you remember? Because I was convinced that we could get you to this point.
Fabrice: Yes, I remember. Go ahead.
Bruno: I came here in August. I already had a trip planned; I was going to Barcelona. It was a life change, a step forward in my life. But I found myself in perhaps not the best situation because back in February of last year, I was diagnosed with a disc herniation at the L5-S1 level. It was a pretty complicated herniation, where the doctors told me that surgery was the solution. Even so, I decided to wait, and time passed, the trip was approaching, and I decided to go anyway.
Fabrice: So, you went ahead with your trip even though your condition was getting worse?
Bruno: Yes, it was getting worse, but it wasn’t unbearable yet, so I decided to travel. When I arrived here in August, after about a month, month and a half, by September, it had worsened to a critical point.
Fabrice: We’re talking about how the pain escalated. What was it like when you first felt it?
Bruno: Yes, well, I was a regular runner, physically active, always running, etc. And one day, out of nowhere, even though I had experienced some back pain before, I came home after exercising and felt a bit of discomfort. But the next day, the pain didn’t go away; instead, it got worse. That’s when I knew something wasn’t right. And by the time I got here, the situation was terrible. I was almost at the point where I couldn’t walk, and even walking down the street was difficult.
Fabrice: You made the trip from Argentina despite the pain?
Bruno: Exactly, yes. I was prescribed medication to get through the day as best as possible. But when I arrived here…
Fabrice: I remember when you arrived; you couldn’t walk a block. You told me, “I can’t walk.”
Bruno: Exactly. When I came here, I took the bus and had to walk two blocks, and I almost couldn’t do it. When I got to the door, I had to take a moment to rest because I couldn’t walk anymore. Then, I came upstairs, told you about my situation, and you said, “We’re going to try, and we’ll get through this.” And here we are…
Fabrice: And here we are, yes, walking normally.
Bruno: Exactly, yes. Now, I can even joke about it. The next step is a beer.
Fabrice: So, the straight leg raise test—how was it when you first came?
Bruno: The affected leg could only go up to here, about 30 degrees.
Fabrice: Yes, 30 degrees. And how about today?
Bruno: Today, I can lift it up just fine.
Fabrice: And it used to hurt all the way down the leg, right? You couldn’t even walk?
Bruno: Yes, I couldn’t walk. I was used to lifting one leg, no problem, but then I couldn’t lift it at all. And now, look…
Fabrice: Now you can lift it up just fine. How about your back? On the first day, how far could you bend?
Bruno: When I first arrived, I could barely do this. I couldn’t go any further.
Fabrice: Exactly, you could only go as far as this.
Bruno: And now, I can reach down to here. Spectacular.
Fabrice: Wonderful! You’ve made great progress.
Bruno: Yes, I feel much better now.
Our approach with Probodyone method by FLI
In Bruno’s case, the challenge was significant because all the surgeons he had visited in Argentina wanted to operate. He had an extruded disc herniation with significant radicular involvement and severe nerve inflammation. He had to travel from Argentina to Barcelona, taking Tramadol, anti-inflammatories, and morphine to manage the pain. When he first arrived, he mentioned that he had to stop frequently just to walk a block on the street.
However, after a thorough clinical examination and considering his motivation and the options available, we decided to start the treatment and see how it progressed. Week by week, the treatment proved effective. The compression gradually eased, leading to clinical improvement. The pain slowly diminished, first in the back and then in the nerve pathway.
It was a great success, one of the best we’ve had. Thanks to manipulation, osteopathic and chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, and radiofrequency treatment with INDIBA, we managed to reduce nerve inflammation significantly. Additionally, micronutrition, including supplements like glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, marine collagen, MSM, and turmeric for inflammation and disc hydration, combined with physical coaching, rehabilitation, and re-athleticization, helped Bruno return to a normal life.
The results came surprisingly fast. Within two months, we began spacing out the appointments, and six months later, he was fully recovered.
