So when Rothstein-Bruce started suffering from recurring glute and hamstring problems that refused to go away, she made an appointment to see chiropractor Ted Forcum.
“Steph’s back and hamstrings were the focus of my treatments.” Dr. Forcum explains. “In a matter of minutes, blood flow to the injured areas was increased, which gave her greater range of motion, and improved wellness.”
