Ehlers Danlos hypermobility type presents as a number of issues that can be categorized as: 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 symptomatology.
Ehlers Danlos treated with chiropractic responds positively. One patient case Johnson Chiropractic read in a peer-reviewed journal features a young Ehlers Danlos female who suffers with chronic neck pain and low back pain who also experiences headaches and hand pain and stiffness. As is seen in Ehlers Danlos, she also 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, her treatment plan included gentle low force chiropractic manipulation with some soft tissue therapy. A variety 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 noted issues had previously been diagnosed inadequately with fibromyalgia and degenerative arthritis before the more appropriate Ehlers Danlos diagnosis – explains how she experiences 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.
