Background: A 68-year-old female presented for Chiropractic care with a primary complaint of chronic neck, shoulder, and upper back pain, persisting for over five years. The patient described longstanding difficulties with gait and mobility. She was a ‘knife walker,’ supinating her feet while walking, and surgical interventions had failed to lessen her symptoms, which now included plantar fasciitis.
Intervention: The patient commenced a course of Chiropractic care during which she was managed using the Advanced Biostructural Correction Technique.
Outcomes: The patient achieved marked improvements in postural and subluxation findings, which were concomitant with a significant improvement in balance and mobility, and a reduction in pain.
Conclusion: This case report illustrates the potential for Chiropractic care to simultaneously address neurological function and structural alignment, thus creating proprioceptive changes that facilitate better balance and mobility.
