ANXIETY, BREATHING PROBLEMS, AND CHEST PAIN RESOLVED BY CHIROPRACTIC

CASE STUDY: A 49-year-old man suffered with chronic chest pain, dyspnea (difficulty breathing or shortness of breath), and anxiety for over four months. His condition worsened to the degree that he was unable to work or engage in most physical activity.  After medical regimens failed to resolve his condition, he began receiving Chiropractic care. An immediate relief of symptoms was noted.

After 14 weeks of care, the patient’s symptoms were completely resolved. Recovery was maintained at a 9-month followup exam.

Researchers noted that subluxations may induce certain types of chest pain, which may be effectively treated through Chiropractic care.
