REAL-LIFE CHIROPRACTIC SUCCESS STORIES
There are numerous examples of chiropractors discovering underlying causes of chronic pain that might have gone undetected. Being able to do this is a role we chiropractors take very seriously. A recent case described a 46 year old man who’d been seeing many healthcare providers and undergoing treatments with no help. The diagnosing chiropractor noted weakness on exam and arranged an MRI which revealed a schwannoma (primary spinal tumor) that had been previously missed. Not a desired diagnosis, but the patient was referred for surgery and received proper care from a multidisciplinary team. (1)
In another case study published in the American Journal of Case Reports, a chiropractor identified a thoracic schwannoma as the source of a patient’s sciatic pain. Early detection granted the patient the opportunity to receive life-changing surgical treatment. (2)
Similarly, another case featured in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies highlighted how a chiropractor’s thorough diagnostic approach addressed a patient’s lumbar radiculopathy. By pinpointing the issue and offering proper care, the patient reported significant pain relief and improved quality of life. (3) These cases underscore the key importance of chiropractic diagnosis in making sure that Toronto spine pain patients get suitable treatment.
