Abstract/Notes

Abstract: 26yo female who suffered with lower back pain (since her first child was born six years earlier), neck pain and chronic headaches struggled for two years to become pregnant with a one-testicled man. She had borne two children to a previous partner with no fertility problems. With the aid of three months of regular Chiropractic care she unexpectedly became pregnant and subsequently gave birth to a healthy baby. Chiropractic adjustments in the Gonstead Methods appropriately modified for her age, somatotype, and disposition were typically given at
segments L5 as PLS-sp, T10 as PLI-T, T4 as PRS-sp and C6 as PRS-sp. Stress was also a major factor for this patient along with chronic ear infections.
