Richmond Chiropractic Benefits Ehlers Danlos

Not exactly a spinal condition, but Ehlers Danlos is a body condition that may affect the spine and musculoskeletal system and be helped by gentle Richmond chiropractic care. Chiropractic back pain specialists like your Richmond chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic certainly approach conditions like Ehlers Danlos conservatively and gently. Chiropractors also are more than willing to share care of these patients with any other medical healthcare providers and their treatment plans for the well-being of the patient. Johnson Chiropractic invites such opportunities to help Richmond Ehlers Danlos patients like this.

Ehlers Danlos hypermobility type affects a number of systems resulting in a range of symptoms: pain (muscular, articular, neuropathic, back pain, neck pain, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, and headache) and fatigue (muscle weakness, unrefreshing sleep, depression, anxiety, etc.). (1)  Johnson Chiropractic recognizes Ehlers Danlos by such symptom combinations.

Ehlers Danlos cared for with chiropractic does well. One patient case Johnson Chiropractic read in a peer-reviewed journal features a young Ehlers Danlos female with chronic neck pain and low back pain who also experiences headaches and hand pain and stiffness. As is seen in Ehlers Danlos, she too faces weekly or daily joint dislocations and upper and lower extremity joint hypermobility. Richmond Ehlers Danlos hypermobility type patients realize what this is like and value relief. In this case, chiropractic low force manipulation and soft tissue therapy were part of her overall treatment plan. An assortment of patient outcome scales detail reductions in disability, headache and spine pain for her. (2) Another case of Ehlers Danlos - with some of the typically recorded issues had previously been diagnosed inefficiently with fibromyalgia and degenerative arthritis before the more appropriate Ehlers Danlos diagnosis – depicts how she feels relief of back pain with gentle Cox Technic flexion distraction, diet change, and exercise care. (3)  Johnson Chiropractic offers gentle Richmond chiropractic care for relief like this.
