Abstract: A 51-year-old male presented with a primary complaint of low back pain. Further investigation revealed poor mental health and reduced quality of life following a diagnosis of and treatment for prostate cancer.
Following a course of Chiropractic care, his range of motion and low back pain improved and there was a marked improvement in his Quality of Life and Mental Health. Quality of Life improvement was measured by the RAND-36 instrument and improved Mental Health was consistently self-reported by the patient with no prompting.
This case report illustrates the need for more research into Mental Health outcomes improving concomitant with Chiropractic care.
