Improvement in migraines and chronic neck pain in a 42-year-old male under chiropractic care: A Case Report
A ChiroSecure Research Update
Abstract: A 42-year-old male presented for chiropractic care with a chief complaint of migraines and neck pain he believed to be involved with poor posture.
Discussion: A 42-year-old male presented for chiropractic care with a chief complaint of migraines and neck pain. He also reported chronic lower back pain and full spine pain contributing to a high level of physical stress. It was believed that his migraines and chronic neck pain could be related to his posture.
Upon presentation to the chiropractic clinic a complete examination was undertaken including orthopedic testing, neurological testing, and digital postural scans. A radiographic examination was also completed, in which a thoracolumbar scoliosis was revealed.
A course of chiropractic care (Diversified Technique, combined with Chiropractic Biophysics exercises) was concomitant with a decrease in the frequency and severity of migraine, decrease in pain and pain-related stress, and an increase in range of motion and coping skills.
Conclusion: This case report indicates that chiropractic care may be of benefit for the reduction of stress, pain and migraine. Further research is required.
