POTS & Chiropractic

CASE STUDY

The patient reported on in the study was a 31-year-old female with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, POTS, since she was 16 years of age. She also had neck pain from working long hours. Her neck pain did not interfere with activities of daily living, but she did get tightness in her neck and upper back. She was on medication to balance her salt and water to normalize her blood pressure. She weaned herself off because of the way it made her feel.

The chiropractor examined her and found structural shifts (vertebral subluxations) in her neck, mid back, low back, and pelvis. She had decreased range of motion, tenderness, and muscle spasms.

Following chiropractic care, the frequency and intensity of POTS decreased, and her neck pain and upper back pain resolved. She was able to sit and work without pain.
