A 45 year old female presented for Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care. Her history included two major traumas and 10 car accidents leading to complaints of an 11 year history of fibromyalgia. Other complaints included migraine headaches, chronic neck pain, upper and lower back pain, numbness in fingers, sciatica, right knee pain, depression and duodenal ulcer.
Upon examination the patient had an upper cervical subluxation (nerve pressure) determined by x-ray and pattern analysis. Upon correction of the upper cervical subluxation utilizing a specific upper cervical technique, the patient experienced resolution of fibromyalgia as well as most of the concurrent complaints.
