Former NFL Player Was Told To Get a Hip Replacement. Then He Saw This Chiropractor
After years of football, tackles, and wear and tear, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Alex Willis was diagnosed with left hip osteoarthritis. His orthopedist recommended a hip replacement.
He traveled from Chicago to NYC to see if a different approach could help.
Using Gonstead analysis and biomechanical 3D analysis, we examined his spine, pelvis, and hip mechanics. The exam revealed a problem on the opposite side that had been overlooked.
After the adjustment, Alex said his left hip felt great. He was able to side-step, hop sideways, and test his sprint stance with much less discomfort. His reaction? “I can literally feel like I can compete.”
He rated himself about 95% improved immediately after the adjustment.
One week later, he reported that his hip felt amazing for five days before a slight twinge returned. We discuss the next steps for stabilization and strengthening.
Watch the full case to see the examination, adjustment, immediate functional changes, and one-week follow-up.
