Abstract: A 38y female presented for chiropractic care following traumatic injury in which she was hit by a bus while on her bicycle, yielding multiple severe injuries requiring surgical repair.
A multidisciplinary course of care was necessary to address the severe pain, impairment, and limitations to movement in the post-surgical stages.
This case report details complex injury, with gait abnormalities and pelvic instability, and the risk of losing a limb.
A significant outcome is the regaining of a QoL that enabled the patient to participate fully in exercise, recreation, and other activities that she deemed meaningful.
