Chiropractic therapy is aimed at imparting wellness by manipulations and non-medicinal procedures. We have seen patients with severe ailments benefitting from Chiropractic Therapy. Even patients with Myasthenia Gravis can be benefitted with proper Chiropractic Therapy. According to a case study published in the Manipulative Physiological Therapy Journal, Chiropractic care can help in the treatment of a patient with Myasthenia Gravis. In this case, a 2 year old girl had complaints of ptosis and generalized muscle weakness i.e. lethargy in the lower extremities.
On request and consent of her parents, the patient was provided Chiropractic care. Before starting with Chiropractic management, tests like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain and acetylcholine receptor antibody were performed with negative results. However, positive results were seen in the Tensilon test and a Pediatrician diagnosed Myasthenia Gravis.
During Chiropractic therapy, the patient was provided contact-specific, high-velocity, low-amplitude adjustments to sites of vertebral subluxation complexes in the upper cervical and sacral spine. Positive response to the chiropractic care encouraged her parents to continue with the treatment. After 5 months of regular therapy, her symptoms were completely resolved.
Patient’s medical reports and feedback from parents and chiropractor made it evident that pediatric problems like myasthenia gravis can be treated with the help of Chiropractic intervention.
