Abstract/Notes

Diagnostic screening was performed in a southeastern Chiropractic clinic for the incidence of Meralgia Paresthetica. The study covered a 10 month period and confirmed the presence of 12 cases during the period considered. All patients complaining of a new diagnostic condition were screened for the condition. A total of 215 people were screened during the program to reveal the presence of 12 cases. This study indicates that Meralgia Paresthetica may not be a rare condition, and that many Chiropractic doctors may be missing its diagnosis. This study indicates the incidence may be high enough to justify promoting greater awareness of the condition and further suggests the need for a controlled study on treatment efficacy by Chiropractic treatment.
