Background: A 42-year-old professional opera singer presented with postural imbalance, musculoskeletal pain, and chronic respiratory issues as a result of long COVID. He sought Chiropractic care with a primary concern relating to his escalating musculoskeletal issues interfering with his career.
Intervention: Chiropractic care using Advanced BioStructural Correction and Endonasal Cranial Correction was provided over an initial care period of 24 visits.
Outcomes: The patient reported substantial improvements in posture, pain, breathing, and overall wellbeing. He also reported marked improvements in vocal performance, including increased vocal range, reduced warm-up time, and greater vocal consistency. This occurred concomitant with marked improvements in his subluxation findings and other objective measures. Significantly, vocal performance (including an increased vocal range) was reported at the conclusion of the described care period.
Conclusion: Correction of structural subluxations may influence posture and neuromuscular coordination relevant to vocal performance. Further research using objective measures of vocal function is warranted.
