Narrative: Lower back pain (LPB) is a commonly occurring reason for patients to present themselves for chiropractic care. Here I report the case of a 39 year old male policeman with chronic low back and knee pain post work injuries.
Standard clinical assessment protocols were performed and treatment delivered using the Van Rumpt cranial technique.
Resolution was rapid and this relative immediate response to care and the prior unremitting nature of the condition (4 weeks), as well as its lack of improvement to rest or physical therapy, suggests a compelling temporal relationship between this care and the resolution of the presenting problem.
I also give a brief historical overview of the development of the Van Rumpt cranial technique.
