Abstract/Notes

Abstract: A 42-year-old male presented for chiropractic care with primary complaints of worsening low back pain with referred pain spreading to both glutes and down his legs.

A complex history of mental illness, stress, and alcoholism as well as dependance on pharmacological intervention was noted.

Over the course of care, the patient noted significant improvements in his mental health leading him to decrease his antidepressant medication. He also noticed significant improvement in erectile function.

Outcomes were consistent with improvements in objective tests, postural findings, and with no other significant changes to lifestyle or medical management. This case indicates that further research into chiropractic care and mental health outcomes, as well as chiropractic care and male reproductive health may be beneficial.
