Background: Krabbe disease is rare and symptomatically it is a complex disorder. This case report details a Chiropractor’s management of an 57yo female with Krabbe disease, experiencing pain and disability as a result of their illness, over eight years. The treating Chiropractor followed the Advanced Biostructural Correction protocol for care and noted improvements in pain, neurological function, and general quality of life.
Outcomes: The patient was scanned and evaluated regularly, but at her six-month evaluation, significant improvements were noted. She reported that she had stopped having the extreme head/neck episodes. Prior to care, her episodic migraines with vomiting were a monthly occurrence. Since her care began, they ceased completely. Her neck problems gradually improved along with her whole posture.
Conclusion: Chiropractors may play a significant role in the care, function and longevity of people with neurodegenerative disorders, but only more research is needed to confirm this proposition and to explain how and why.
