KST A to Z
Trichotillomania (obsessive hair pulling)
Masahiro Goto, DC
Obihiro-shi, Japan
An 11-year-old girl is suffering from trichotillomania, the compulsive urge to pull out (and in some cases, eat) one's own hair, leading to noticeable hair loss.
KST adjustments were to bilateral anterior sphenoid, right anterior parietal, bregma cranial suture, right inferior & medial frontal, right anterior & inferior zygoma, and anterior coccyx.
It took over two years, but now she touches her hair but seems to be able to control herself. She rarely pulls out her hair.
