New patient aged 35 presented two days ago with a diagnosis of, “Traumatic Brain Injury. “

About five months prior, a ceiling tile weighing about two kilos fell on her head. She developed pain in the back of her head, couldn't think, couldn't concentrate to read or focus on anything, and had extreme fatigue. She slept for 14 hours a day.

CT scans were negative, as was an MRI of the brain, but she had a positive Romberg sign. She had physiotherapy and acupuncture with no result and still had her head pain, brain not functioning, and dizziness.

When I examined her, she still had a positive neurological Rhomberg, also upper cervical fixation, occipital compaction; all cervical flexors were weak on manual muscle testing (a sign of possible severe cranial faults), depression, and KST cranial injury pattern.

I corrected the depression using a bilateral frontal lift, which was indicated. I adjusted the upper cervicals and occipital compression with the arthrostim and treated the cranial injury according to the manual. On rechecking, all cervical flexors were strong, and her positive Rhomberg sign was negative. I had her walk up and down the hallway in the clinic and retested for Rhomberg, but it was still negative

I saw her again today, and she said she could not believe how well she felt - she can think better and has no more dizziness. All she needed this time was adjustment for panic (she actually saw the object fall and knew it would hit her) and cranial injury. Five months of feeling like your life is finished and after one chiropractic visit you have your life back, who would want to do anything else but be a chiropractor?
