Abstract/Notes

Objective: The purpose of this study is to describe the resolution of symptomatology in a patient with Vasovagal Syncope (VVS) following chiropractic care to correct upper cervical subluxation.

Clinical Features: A patient formerly diagnosed with VVS, chronic diffuse neck pain and episodes of spontaneous fainting and blackouts presented for chiropractic care. Pharmacotherapy and the surgical implantation of a pacemaker had been recommended.  Chiropractic examination revealed a patient with global postural misalignments and vertebral subluxations. X-ray analysis revealed severe rotation between C1 and C2; with C1 rotated posterior 7 3/4 degree in the right transverse plane and C2 rotated an additional 5 degrees left, on C1.

Intervention and Outcomes: Quantum Spinal Mechanics 3 Dimensional protocol (QSM3) was utilized. Following adjustment to reduce the upper cervical subluxation the patient experienced resolution of her syncopal episodes. 

Conclusions: This case study revealed complete resolution of VVS disorder following the administering of QSM3 care. Additional research on the benefits of tonal based chiropractic is further needed and encouraged.
