Not exactly a spine condition, but Ehlers Danlos is a body condition that may involve the spine and musculoskeletal system and be assisted by gentle Williamson chiropractic treatment. Chiropractors who are back pain specialists like your Williamson chiropractor at Apple Country Chiropractic definitely approach conditions like Ehlers Danlos conservatively and gently. Chiropractors also are eager to share care of these patients with any other medical healthcare providers and their treatment plans for the good of the patient. Apple Country Chiropractic invites these types of opportunities to help Williamson Ehlers Danlos patients like this.

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)  Apple Country Chiropractic recognizes Ehlers Danlos by such symptom combinations.

Ehlers Danlos treated with chiropractic responds positively. One patient case Apple Country 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. Williamson Ehlers Danlos hypermobility type patients realize what this is like and welcome relief. In this case, chiropractic low force manipulation and soft tissue therapy were part of her overall treatment plan. A variety of patient outcome scales detail decreases in disability, headache and spine pain for her. (2) Another case of Ehlers Danlos - with some of the characteristically recorded issues had formerly been diagnosed inadequately with fibromyalgia and degenerative arthritis before the more appropriate Ehlers Danlos diagnosis – describes how she feels back pain relief with gentle Cox Technic flexion distraction, diet change, and exercise care. (3)  Apple Country Chiropractic offers gentle Williamson chiropractic care for this type of relief.
