Background: An 80-year-old male presented for Chiropractic care with a chief complaint of Atrial Fibrillation. He also suffered from hypertension, vision disturbances, and low energy. As a retired Chiropractor, he had been under care for most of his adult life. However, he felt concentrated Chiropractic care may be of benefit to regenerate some long-standing health issues from which he was still suffering. 

Intervention: The patient underwent three separate weeks of concentrated chiropractic care, utilising the Averio Functional Neurological Protocol.  

Outcomes: Having made no further lifestyle changes, the patient experienced resolution of tinnitus, vision disturbances, and hypertension, as well as a significant reduction in atrial fibrillation frequency and severity.  

Conclusion: Further research into the impact of concentrated Chiropractic care on chronic or complex cases would be beneficial.
