Intervention & Outcomes: The patient was adjusted with the Blair Upper Cervical Technique and Thompson Technique. Over the course of eight weeks she had fourteen visits and reported marked improvement during and at the re-evaluation at the end of the care plan.
Conclusion: The patient reported on in this study experienced improvement in her back pain, sciatic and quality of life following chiropractic care. Additional research is necessary to determine the role of specific upper cervical care and full-spine adjustments and their relationship to the improvements of low back pain and sciatic symptoms.
