Abstract/Notes

Objective: To describe the successful chiropractic management of a patient with Neuralgic Amyotrophy. Clinical Features: A 37-year-old male had severe bilateral shoulder pain followed by atrophy and loss of both function and range of motion in the right shoulder girdle, particularly the regions innervated by the C5 nerve root.

Intervention and Outcome: He was initially given TramadolTM to help alleviate severe shoulder pain. Following his initial visit, he was treated with a combination of spinal manipulative therapy, vitamin supplementation, therapeutic exercises, and Russian stimulation. He was seen for treatment 34 times over the course of 8 months and regained full range of motion after 6 months as well as a restoration of his normal activities of daily living.

Conclusion: This patient avoided surgery with conservative chiropractic care. The integration of chiropractic manipulation, vitamin supplementation, therapeutic exercises, and Russian stimulation resulted in improvement in range of motion and muscle strength, which were initially lost due to neuralgic amyotrophy.
