Improvement in posture, sleep and energy in a 25 year old female under chiropractic care: A case report

Abstract

A 25-year old female presented for chiropractic care to address her postural concerns. She described herself as ‘healthy but fatigued.’

Objective/Clinical Features: Chiropractic care for the reduction of vertebral subluxations involved special attention to the thoracic and cervical spine, where a forward head carriage was noted, and stabilising of the pelvis which was found to be tilted.

Intervention/Outcomes: Following a course of chiropractic care, objective findings confirmed a reduction in forward head carriage, an increase in pelvic stability, and was concomitant with patient reported increases in sleep quality, energy, vitality, and immune function (i.e. resistance to coughs, colds and flus)

Conclusion: In this case, an improvement in sleep, energy, vitality, and immunity was concomitant with a course of chiropractic care.

“When the patient completed her pre-treatment wellness survey, she described herself as ‘healthy but fatigued’, rating herself a 3 out of 5 for energy, vitality, concentration, mood and sleep quality. After 13 months of care, she undertook a wellness survey and rated herself as three out of five for quality of sleep, four out of five for overall well-being, energy, vitality, concentration and resistance to coughs, colds and other infections. Notably, she rated herself five for mood”
