Abstract/Notes

Objective: The goal of this case report is to describe the effects of chiropractic care for a patient with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Clinical Features: A 24-year-old female sought care for migraine, recurrent dislocations of the hips bilaterally, cervical pain, and low back pain. A prior diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome had been made using Villefranche criteria and the Beighton scale.

Intervention and Outcome: The patient reported a past history of increased pain and inflammation following forceful chiropractic manipulation. A treatment strategy using gentle low-force manipulative techniques, soft-tissue therapies, and exercise was implemented. The patient responded favorably, reporting notable albeit temporary relief of symptoms.

Conclusion: Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos is a condition in which repeated compromise of the structural integrity of affected regions can create more chronic issues. Practitioners must be aware of the potential for further complications, including tears, muscle strains, and joint dislocations, in order to tailor an individualized treatment plan that considers underlying health factors.
