Ehlers Danlos cared for with chiropractic responds positively. One patient case Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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 too experiences weekly or daily joint dislocations and upper and lower extremity joint hypermobility.

In this case, chiropractic low force manipulation and soft tissue therapy were part of her overall treatment plan. An assortment of patient outcome scales document reductions in disability, headache and spine pain for her.
