Background: A 60-year-old female presented for a course of concentrated Chiropractic care with primary complaints of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, insomnia, and chronic, worsening neck pain following a motor vehicle accident. 

Intervention: The patient underwent four, week-long programs of concentrated Chiropractic care using the Averio Functional Neurological Technique with additional adjunctive protocols.  

Outcomes: The patient experienced total remission of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, complete neck pain reversal, and insomnia resolution. This was consistent with improvements across multiple areas of cervical ligament instability, vertebral subluxation, and functional objective tests taken pre- and post-concentrated weeklong programs. 

Conclusion: Concentrated chiropractic care may be recommended in cases where symptoms have been resistant to ordinary medical care and other Chiropractic management. Further research is recommended to fully understand the mechanisms behind concentrated Chiropractic care and the impact it may have on treatment-resistant symptomatology.
