A case study published in February 2003 issue of “The Journal Of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics, (JMPT) showed that Chiropractic care can relieve patient suffering from Chronic Chest pain. According to the case study, patient - a 49 year old male (music composer by profession) while working out on a treadmill, felt pain in chest followed with difficulty in breathing. Thinking it to be slight muscular problem the patient initially ignored it. With time as the pain grew even more severe, the patient had to visit a physician.
Patient’s Internist found the blood pressure to be 140/97 and he was diagnosed with muscular chest pain. Patient was prescribed with beta-blockers and anti-inflammatory drugs. The medication did not do any good, instead the patient felt extremely drowsy due to beta-blockers.
Even after taking the medication, the condition of patient continued to deteriorate. Extensive tests were performed, all with negative results and patient was deemed to be normal. His heart and lung were functioning normally, but the condition of the patient kept on worsening. The chest pain branched out to upper back and patient was not able to do the daily routine jobs comfortably. He had trouble with sleeping and his condition started to affect his emotional well being.
Ultimately, the patient resorted on to Chiropractic Care. His chiropractic examination was done and it was found that the patient had subluxations. The patient was administered chiropractic therapy. Immediately after the therapy he was able to breathe much easily. The patient was put on 3-Times a week chiropractic care therapy. The patient showed positive results for the treatment and after 14 months of chiropractic care, he was fully cured of his condition.
This study shows that Chiropractic care can be effective in treating chronic chest pain. For more information on how Chiropractic care can help you, visit us at Isdale Corrective Chiropractic clinic located at 716 Indian Trail, Suite 120, Harker Heights, TX 76548 or call us at 254.698.1600
