Background: A 38-year-old female presented for chiropractic care six-months postpartum, with a chief complaint of vertigo. The initial onset had been two-three years prior following a six metre fall in which she sustained an L2/L3 fracture, symptoms had worsened with pregnancy.
Intervention: The patient underwent a course of Chiropractic care in which she was cared for using the Advanced Biostructural Correction Technique, which included stretching meningeal adhesions.
Outcomes: Concomitant with an improvement in objective measures, the patient experienced a complete reversal of vertigo symptoms and now enjoyed life without the condition.
Conclusion: Chiropractic care should be considered alongside long term rehabilitation after injury, and more research into chiropractic care and vestibular function may be warranted.
Indexing Terms: Chiropractic; Subluxation; Advanced Biostructural Correction Technique; ABC; vertigo; postpartum headache.
