Abstract: In this paper I draw from my clinical experience with patients reporting improvements in conditions beyond their presenting complaint following a course of care to resolve that complaint.
This raises the question of whether the Chiropractic adjustment is specific for one named condition, typically a musculoskeletal complaint reported in the literature, or whether that adjustment has side effects which beneficially impact other conditions being experienced by the patient but not reported on presentation?
Examples are presented relating to a range of ‘other’ clinical changes observed following chiropractic care, and I give the questions that these observations raise in my mind.
