A 14 yr old honor student came to our clinic with him mom and dad. He has been ill for over 6 years and recently has been missing school for over a month due to pain and too-frequent bowel movements.

He reports worsening intense stomach pain waking him up at night. His rightfully-concerned mom, who is a registered nurse (RN), tried everything under the sun to no avail. It seemed as we were his mom's last hope.

It took him about 10 minutes to lay down on the table - one he had accomplished that, We put a hot pack on his back and put special wedge blocking (see image below right) under his front pelvis on both sides - what we call the ASIS - anterior su...
