Not exactly a spine condition, but Ehlers Danlos is a body condition that may affect the spine and musculoskeletal system and be assisted by gentle Juneau chiropractic treatment. Chiropractic back pain specialists like your Juneau chiropractor at Aurora Chiropractic Center certainly 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 well-being of the patient. Aurora Chiropractic Center invites these types of opportunities to help Juneau 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)  Aurora Chiropractic Center knows Ehlers Danlos by such symptomatology.

Ehlers Danlos cared for with chiropractic responds positively. One patient case Aurora Chiropractic Center read in a peer-reviewed journal highlights 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 experiences weekly or daily joint dislocations and upper and lower extremity joint hypermobility. Juneau Ehlers Danlos hypermobility type patients know what this is like and are grateful for relief. In this case, chiropractic low force manipulation and soft tissue therapy were part of her overall treatment plan. An assortment of patient outcome scales detail reductions in disability, headache and spine pain for her. (2) Another case of Ehlers Danlos - with some of the characteristically noted issues had previously been diagnosed inadequately with fibromyalgia and degenerative arthritis before the more appropriate Ehlers Danlos diagnosis – depicts how she feels relief of back pain with gentle Cox Technic flexion distraction, diet change, and exercise care. (3)  Aurora Chiropractic Center offers gentle Juneau chiropractic care for this type of relief.
