Background: A 46-year-old female presented for chiropractic care with pain in the pelvis following a motor vehicle accident one year prior. At the time of presentation, she had severely limited physical resilience, limited ability to walk, lie down or stay in one position for too long, and she had a long medical history of other physical health problems. 

Management: The patient commenced chiropractic care, to which she was a novice, in the hopes of achieving reduced pain. She commenced a 12-session care plan and was adjusted using Torque Release Technique, with Instrument-assistant (integrator), Manual adjustments (HVLA), SOT blocks (pelvic region), Drop table (sacro-pelvic region) and Toggle board (upper cervical region). 

Outcome: After 12 sessions of chiropractic care, she reported increased sleep, mood, energy and physical functioning, decreased pain, decreased dermatitis, increased digestive function and reported that she felt more alive than she had in years.
